I asked for a citation of how being broke was supposedly illegal, not about being a vagrant.

For what it's worth, you can be broke without being a vagrant anyways, and of course, being broke is not strictly required to be a vagrant either.

Vagrancy laws are only applicable to being broke if you consider vagrancy the only possible outcome of being broke. While that may statistically be the most likely outcome, it is far from the only one. A destitute person may have a friend who is letting them stay at their home at no charge, for instance (presumably to help them out until they can get financially on their feet).

And you accuse me of starting a religious rant?

Of course I know that no single tool is good for every possible job... but believe me when I say that I've used plenty of different IDE's, and have found that of the ones currently available that I have tried, Netbeans has the best overall offerings.

For example, a wysywig editor for designing swing user interfaces, live connections to a database, allowing editing of the database without leaving the IDE, and probably most important of all, projects developed with netbeans are not in any way dependent on netbeans to build... the buildflle that it uses for a java project is just a regular ant file, and a plain makefile for native projects, so absolutely nothing special is needed to build such projects in other environments. They are also easy to import into other IDE's with minimal effort, generally requiring no actual project conversion of any kind. I have experienced a lot of grief building a java project that was developed with eclipse outside of eclipse.

I'll probably start to pay attention to their android offerings

Which probably means never. But hey...

As an aside, I now predict that this post will rapidly be replied to by at least 3 or 4 commenters who will attempt to argue that eclipse is infinitely better than Netbeans, either completely unsubstantiated, or positing only subjective points of comparison, and if I weren't mentioning it here, it would also be replied to by at least one 'insentive clod' remark by somoebody who uses vi. The latter may still happen regardless, but I expect the fact that I've already mentioned it lowers the likelihood.

If I'm buying the DVD, obviously I am waiting... probably until the season is finished.

Another possibility might be to watch episodes as they are released on iTunes, if they publish via that route, although for an entire season of shows, it is typically less expensive to buy the DVD.

By choosing to wait instead of torrenting the episodes, I'm not depriving myself of anything that I would have had any legal entitlement to in the first place.

How is getting cable or buying the DVD depriving myself?

You could argue that choosing to not cheat is depriving myself too.... but that doesn't mean it actually is.

Do you even understand the point of ethical virtue?

Uh... no.

We'll either get cable or wait for the DVD, thanks.

Back when it was announced. No small number of people voice some choice words with me at the time about how Valve supposedly knew what they are doing better than I possibly could.

Honestly, I really wished, and admittedly even dared to hope that I would actually be wrong.

The actual scientific state-of-the-art for the nature of the start of this observable physical universe is a resounding "we do not know", and it looks like that is not going to change anytime soon.

I was under the impression that the cosmological microwave background radiation made for a pretty strong argument in favor of the big bang. Not proof, obviously... but strong enough that it is far and away the leading scientifically accepted theory.
