Sorry for the dumb question; but does Apple have absolute control over Apps on its platform; or is it possible to distribute App to iPhone users without store?

No we need to enforce gay rights on them.
Rand supporters can expect persecution.
Power vacuums are always filled. Prior to the 14th amendment; the states filled the power vacuum of 'police power & moral standards' which was intentionally denied the Fed. With the 14th amendment; the power to establish 'moral standards' was taken from the states; and filled by the Supreme Caliphate. If the Supreme Caliphate applies the moral standards of Congress to moral issues like abortion and marriage it is 'problematically' over-riding the Establishment Clause. If it applies solely its own 'moral standards'; then the Supreme Caliphate is consistent with the Establishment Clause. Language usually gives lip service to latter path.
The Establishment Clause prohibits the Federal Congress from establishing a national religion; the 14th Amendment on the other hand has been interpreted to establish a universal standard of morality for the nation as decreed by the Supreme Court. One might say the 14th Amendment and the Establishment clause directly conflict. And the 14th Amendment has won.

OMG; you won't believe what boys say when women are not around to hen peck them for political correctness; sometimes they say what they think! Unbelievable.
A 'national emergency' that cannot be addressed by a lawful act of congress!

Games like Farmville seem like the equivalent of a one-hit-wonder. Not an Oracle but a Rico Suave. People who invest in a fad should know it will fade.
Psychiatrist may be clever; but they fall for cognitive miser traps continuously when they apply the DSM at too high a frequency.
Software development involves a lot of 'error' feedback. Its not rotten - flattery is rotten.

Re:Complexity theory isn’t required to be a programmer on Tuesday March 24, 2015 @03:39PM (#9258908)
If you distinguish a 'software engineer' from a 'programmer' this article makes sense to me. But the article does not even use the word 'reduction' which seemed to be 90% of what we did for homework in my computational complexity class.

Re:Why We Should Demand a Shorter Workweek on Sunday March 22, 2015 @10:22AM (#9246808)
Marx (like Freud) established a language of concepts as well as theories. While the initial theories may have failed - we continue to use the language of related concepts in the on going discussion.

Workers should be given an hour or so to sit and listen to some rhetoric about a heavenly next life; it might stimulate their opioid receptors and reduce these pesky demands.
