Do you think its writing is better or worse than the typical bill?

Do you think its real purpose id different than its stated intent?

If we really want this bill, and really want it in a good fashion, we should make a wiki collaboration of it. Of course I am saying that, and it takes energy, and I'm heading off to work at the moment.

Why are the red states the ones that get more from the government than they give?

Try using the emergency rooms. He says its a horrible expensive idea, then says it is what should be done : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOWzn6JCmEo

You are probably replying to a shill, you know.

Gore? Romney?

I think its more likely that the password wasn't dictionaried. It was probably sniffed in a starbucks or something like that. If it was a dictionary attach though, it would be the case where your home builder is also the doorman who saw all the break in attempts and did nothing. It's more the 'single signon with one password' that is on trial, rather than just Microsoft.

They are, and green tech may be too : http://www.npr.org/2010/12/03/131785448/Military-Goes-Green-For-An-Edge-On-The-Battlefield

I'm sort of reminded of the Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse. In that book, this game was so important to people that it had a ministry. I sort of imagined the game like a highbrow D&D.

Probably the next jobs out there will be figuring out how to provide enough energy for all these robots. If that fails, the jobs after that will be farming, making cobblestones and figuring out a substitute for wood.

I don't know of many ways to deal with this sort of bullying. It's the type of bullying that powerful eventually engage in. It certainly isn't the end of the world, but it is pain from dozens of tiny cuts like this.

I can live without what Universal produces. While I love movies, I can and will do without theirs. There are other forms of entertainment out there. Its time to get back to books. It's time to write and share stories with friends. It's time to listen to friends play music and sing with them as opposed to listening to recordings. In short, its time to spend effort to find better ways to really and more sincerely enjoy life. It is possible to wean off of the big companies that control so much? Not quickly, maybe not ever, but maybe enough to influence their behavior.

Credit Default Swaps were regulated less than the lemonade stands of 6 year olds.
From wikipedia

A holder of a bond may “buy protection” to hedge its risk of default. In this way, a CDS is similar to credit insurance, although CDS are not subject to regulations governing traditional insurance. Also, investors can buy and sell protection without owning debt of the reference entity. These “naked credit default swaps” allow traders to speculate on the creditworthiness of reference entities. CDSs can be used to create synthetic long and short positions in the reference entity.[7] Naked CDS constitute most of the market in CDS.[13][14] In addition, CDSs can also be used in capital structure arbitrage.

Does it matter if they don't vote when the only viable two sides are beholden to them?

sort of raises a catch 22. The corporations have a huge influence on what the laws are, ensuring that they can say they obey the laws. We have every right to punish the corporations for supporting bad laws.

Well said. At least they'll develop the healthy fear of being sued and the drive to sue which will come in handy for finantial survival.

That is a decision that pits performance vs ease of use vs likelyhood you'll up and change your databases. It depends on the space you are working in.

If your target is low to moderate traffic, simplicity and abstraction is certainly the way to go.
If your target is very high traffic, you'll need something tighter.

I'm not for or against a particular technique but I am against 'Once Size Fits All'.

(yes, I was exaggerating what the parent had said, I admit it)

I just had to be the oddball programmer. Sigh

perl -e 'print "M" == "P" ? "yes" : "no"'

That's okey. At least it isn't VB where

if val( TRUE ) = val( FALSE )
