Seems like a weak Loonie benefits Canadian manufacturing, not only with Canada's trade with the US, but EU as well.

It's better to have a job at all than to have the few people with jobs have better buying power.

Federal law trumps state law as long as the commerce clause is in effect. The citizens of MO are still subject to BATF raids for running illegal stills.

improvised firearms are illegal to build here.

"9 out of 10 US Senators disagree."

But seriously, the US government's job is to spy on citizens, and for its police force to militarize and shoot unarmed black citizens.

I've met plenty of brits who are envious of the constitutional protections for gun ownership.

And have you seen what the American government does? if anyone needs protection from the American government, it's the American people!

But I can't distill alcohol without a license. I can't even own a still without such a license (California, but other states are the same). I can brew 200 gallons of beer and wine a year, but I can't make a pint of vodka.

But I can freely purchase plans to make my own still, I can order plumbing supplies to put it together. But the moment I have one that is ready to use, I've broken the law. And it will be confiscated and I will be subject to serious fines. (and incarceration in some jurisdictions, although usually not for a first offense)

Hopefully this parallel helps inform people that government regulation can take many forms. And that if one aspect is too difficult or is illegal to regulate, there are other ways to control a problem and enforce the law.

It would be like if there was DirectX 12, and game developers were willing to go back as far as DirectX 10, but most potential customers are still on DirectX 8 with a handful still on DirectX 7.

But I lost my cheap (but usable) Froyo phone. It started with Eclair, so really I got a lot more phone than I originally anticipated.

15 different places? A new college grad could work 3 years at each one and have an entire career, and retire comfortably at 70.

I should have came to /. for career advice years ago.

It's worth knowing a lot of things, even if those things don't directly translate into a bigger paycheck.

This doesn't just extend to programming either, you might enrich your life by reading a bit of the big three Greek philosophers, but it probably won't translate into improving your career strategy or make you more marketable.

But I would limit what programming languages you learn to ones that actually teach you something new about programming. If you already know C and PHP and Ruby, then you might not get much learning Python, but maybe FORTH or Lisp or Erlang or something even more exotic might teach you a little bit about different ways to solve problems.

If you can't reinstall it 100's of times until it starts working, what else are you supposed to do? Pay Microsoft for support, that smells like anti-trust to me.

So she's over qualified for office? Excellent, all is going according to plan.

Can we send these students to manager our competitors over seas? Because that would really be ideal here.

Capital Punishment for anyone breaking any law or even for minor infractions. That will solve the problem real quick, or we'll run out of people to punish, or most likely we'll be overthrown by a revolt and executed.

Before the patent expires, the patent holder tends to do a smear campaign to inject FUD in further use of the pharmaceutical and discourages doctors from prescribing it. When the replacement medication is available it quickly supplants the old medication, even if it has more dangerous side-effects.

Medication is not a free market because the end-users are not the ones to make the decisions on which medication to purchase. It's a a decision made by doctors, who are often heavily influenced by sophisticated marketing campaigns from drug companies.

I'm fine letting the free market determine what I should pay for TVs, pajamas, corn, etc. Because I directly make the decision on what I buy. (note: corn is not sold on a free market)
