Wow, guess you can't take it, eh? :) that's ok, I know you're butthurt over it.

It's always funny when the libs can't take what they dish out. Really? Negative points for pointing out the obvious - Obama only stands for what benefits Obama?

Yep, the limit so far is 17 trillion, which is very limited..

Anyone still question what the social outcome of all this will be?: society will frown upon gun ownership, to the extent that people will be ostracized for exercising their second amendment rights. It doesn't matter if this is planned or not, it's the end result that matters.

Nope, not involved in node/js. Sorry

It basically spoiled programming in every other work language for me. Sometimes enlightenment brings pain.

It's a misdemeanor in the state of GA (all traffic violations are, now).

It's interesting (scary) to see all the anti-biotic resistant diseases on the rise. I wonder how long until the diseases vaccinated against evolve enough to bypass the antibodies produced by the vaccine?

Ha, never heard of anyone else doing this before.

Silly rabbit, there you go thinking again. Did I say they chose? No, I said social, meaning their homosexuality was caused by social pressures instead of biological imperatives. I am sure there are some that 'chose' to be that way, just the majority of them are that way because of imprinting or other social pressures.

My gut feeling is that the majority of homosexuals are social, rather than biological.

Even better: I called one of my classmates a homo sapien, he went to the teacher and complained (he thought it meant he was gay) and the teacher said "you are a homo sapien". Ah, 6th grade, good times.

And if none of that was enough, have enough guns to force a regime change.

wtf? If the person can't be bothered with keeping track of their charges, they deserve a penalty.

With 11 million illegals in country I'd say we have anything BUT strict border controls. More like targeted border controls...

I always say that I'm a midget standing on the shoulders of giants.

so you're saying the laws in favor of slavery, and against homosexuality, should have been kept? Because they were the established practice and tradition...

Here's a better idea: require all hospitals and Dr offices to publish fee schedules in a centralized location, allowing the customer to price-shop procedures. Then there would be downward pressure on prices, and you could plan in advance of elective procedures.

ummm, waterboarding?

way back in the dark ages, before the Playstation and XBox and Nintendo, I conducted my own empirical studies using coin-operated arcade games. I found that after a couple of hours, my reflexes plateaued, then degraded. I had to go do something else for a couple of hours before I could come back and do better.

nope, it doesn't at all - it makes the prosecutor seem like a petulant child - they didn't get what they wanted (Swartz to quietly, meekly give in), so the pulled out the big guns and bullied him until he committed suicide.

so, because someone's feathers got ruffled, they pursued him until he committed suicide. Let that be a lesson boys and girls - don't piss off people in power, bow and scrape like a good little citizen and you will be OK</sarcasm>.

first in a long line of failures. Say goodbye to medical care as we know it.

Not only that, the skills stuff is junk too - I have people endorsing me for skills that they have no clue of whether or not I posess them, nor how well I exercise them.

As Admiral Ackbar would say: "It's a trap!"

Unless you're committed to MS anyway.

"Are you also aware that Microsoft knowingly allows this to happen with a wink and a nod?"

and then the BSA comes calling.... it's not worth the risk.

THIS! This is one of the two largest arguments in favor of OSS. With a PG server all I have to do is throw it up, and not worry about the licensing. That's extra time back in my day for real work. No stress, no fuss, no muss.

every other consumer broadband plan has been against them from the start. Google, on the other hand is the only company to start off saying do whatever, then change their tune once they started offering broadband.

Nah, they just ask the NSA.

and don't forget: DR now provided by the NSA.

And MS is still (a bit more quietly) trying to kill off Open Source in general, and the GPL in particular.

And MS is still trying to control your data by locking it up in non-standard (don't start saying it's a standard if even MS doesn't follow it) in proprietary products.

And MS is still running embrace, extend, extinguish on every competing technology.
