.. they'r.e not becoming acidic, they're becoming less alkaline and are slowly heading towards neutral.
Perhaps they've changed things in the 20+ years since I took my last chemistry class, but "becoming less alkaline" is pretty much the definition of "becoming more acidic".
[......] just can't get the hang of that awful, awful Mac wrapper around the supposedly Linux core.
There's no Linux core to OSX - it's some type of BSD. But i agree, OSX is horrible, like Ubuntu's Unity.
That old misunderstanding will never go away.
OK fine, Q&A website nazis. Happy?
The point is that there are plenty of pickle-up-the-ass power tripping assholes on stack overflow who quash useful questions and answers (aka discussions) just to flex their authoritative muscle and prove their superiority in their own minds.
There appear to be two significant groups of contributors, those who are genuinely there just to help out and the power trippers. I feel kind of sad for the power trippers.
There's a semantic gap between "secular democracy" and "not quite as fucked as Turkey".
Mature technologies are proven. They've gone through their growing-pains. They may have limitations, but those limitations and workarounds are usually well known by seasoned professionals. There's a reason why COBOL, Fortran, and RPG are still in use in business applications almost sixty years after their initial development, because they reliably work.
I've tried to work with NodeJS projects for production. It's a nightmare. NodeJS itself is revised too often, the actual project is revised too often, and the dependencies became a nightmare. It's not mature enough and not worth it.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I thought you'd find it funny to know that IBM is now building products with NodeJS. (And other even more exotic bleeding edge stuff...)
She's a lawyer.
I can neither confirm nor deny, that I may, or may not have never won an argument.
It would be far more effective to carry thousands of boring landscape photos.
I'd like to see a high US official pass through customs and watch a random rent-a-cop get his password and copy all his files. Right, like this is gonna happen.
If it's international travel then they should be travelling on a diplomatic passport. (Which my ex-wife does all the time...)
I guess I need more coffee, I can't tell if you're joking, trolling or stupid.
If it was a joke you really need to work on that.
I'm shocked!
It was a warning about 1948, the original title.
Yeah I did... but the very idea that the LAPD is trying to suppress the people simply by flying helicopters near "hot-spots" immediately brought to mind the oppressive surveillance culture of 1984.
People seem to forget that 1984 was a warning, not a how-to manual.
In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs, hovered for an instant like a bluebottle, and darted away again with a curving flight. It was the police patrol, snooping into people's windows.

I think from now on my opening salvo will be: "Does your mother know what you do for a living?"
Do you toy with down-and-out street people, too?
I would if they were trying to rip me off.
Real Programs don't use shared text. Otherwise, how can they use functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
