For very large values of "large", a large program will still require more memory than available.

The invention of waterproof calculators allowed for whales to more easily perform tedious calculations.

By that logic, no programming language is Turing-complete.

There is no straw man, if anything it's AmiMoJo who introduced one.

Nobody was discussing an "imaginary, fearful hoard of idiots". The discussion was about a very specific group of people, who was then identified with a larger group that acts in a similar way.

You're the one pulling the straw man here.

The question was about the apparent paradox of the two cases mentioned.

For some reason, fear of the radiation boogeyman is greater than their confidence in their interpretation of their faith.

Before I'm accused of calling every religious person an ignorant, allow me to add that religion is only one of many possible sources of ignorance (probably none of them guarantee ignorance either) - however, it is a very visible correlation.

The only thing ignorant people fear more than science in general is "radiation". The reasons for the quotation marks would make for a very long rant about ionizing vs. non-ionizing radiation and their complete ignorance of what is actually going on.

Imagine how much slower it'd be written fully in Java...

Because the general complaint about OpenOffice/LibreOffice was that Java made it too fast. /s

Next up! A web browser written in Javascript.

Yeah, like long-distance questioning is the norm. It's probably less bureaucratic to just drag him over Sweden.

Add to that the fact that they probably considered he posed a high risk of fleeing to some third world country (which he did, in a way)...

The only tragedy is that some people ever took that moron seriously...

Are you kidding? McAfee would have them both dead by the time the door is locked.

Now, how about we take McAfee deep into whatever country he's pissed-off lately and tell him to go hunt the other two? He seems to have some experience handling local South American officials...

What he is accused of in the US is absolutely irrelevant. It's what the Swedish court says that would matter.

Join the EA boycott!

What about the good games, you ask?

Look at all the money you would have saved by not buying these pieces of shit:

Battlefield 3 - "You'll have to buy this, or else nobody will be around to play with you" DLC
The new Sim City
The new Sim City - "Expansion pack that adds nothing players wanted and a ton of stuff nobody cares about" Expansion pack
The Sims 3 - "You already bought this expansion twice before" Expansion Pack
Battlefield 4(ever ridden with bugs)

And in the future:

Battlefield 4 DLC - "We promised we'd fix the game first, and with luck, it's now possible to play a whole match without game-breaking bugs, so it's technically fixed"
The new Battlefield which shares nothing with Battlefield other than the name
The Sims 4 - Bend over and buy the expansions you already bough three times before once more!

Can we get a Ferengi photoshopped onto a Borg Cube image in here? Seems appropriate.

Depends on how final the final draft is.

Ideally, you open up the proceedings once the fundamentals are in place and everyone's basic demands have been met. From there, it's much easier to filter out the noise and actually improve the treaty.

In practice, if it's felt that the current version won't hold up, it probably won't be the final "take-it-or-leave-it" version.
