True, but I also have known officers attacked by meth heads who are tweaking and have read too many stories about people here in my state of Indiana being killed when meth labs inevitably explode.

So, I do know both sides and don't have a position because I know enough to know that I don't know enough to have one.

Hence, the third sentence of my statement.

I was not commenting on which is best, I was just pointing out that the GP was using self-sourced figures in his argument. I have no opinion on the war on drugs nor the prohibition of alcohol in the 20's, as to this point, neither has a direct effect on my life.

I'd like to see your source for that. Most studies say that consumption went down 20%-30%, but people drank more during each drinking session.

Not in Indiana. The only time they're allowed to is if they have an established business relationship with you. Plus, if you tell them to stop, they have to.

I have to say, after only using it for about 10 minutes, and using the developer tools, very nifty! Plus, it makes it easy to send custom-made http requests, including inserting your own headers and content body.

With firefox, there's an extension for that called Poster.

With texting and social networking sites, who actually emails their friends anymore? Everyone I know only uses email for work. Although I'd assume that the same would apply to those media as well.

No, it's a little convoluted, but generally, in military proceedings, the prosecution has 120 days to begin the trial.

As much as I think the guy's a little nuts, he's right here. iPad users can only install what's in the App Store.

After all, an iPad is still just a computer.

Do we really want government saying what the EULA should be? I wouldn't want that as a developer, and not as a user, either. It's called reading. If you don't like it, don't use the software. Simple as that.

I don't want the government telling me what kind of legal agreements I can enter into.

I remember when I was in college, I was taking a class on social informatics (basically, sociology for computer nerds) and I still remember the professor saying, once you know how to be a developer, you can learn any language that's useful. So if you're ever called in for an interview, spend the weekend before boning up on the language. You won't ever need to be an expert in a specific language if you already know the core concepts of programming.

Here in Indiana, Simon Property Group (the largest mall owner in the US and headquartered in Indianapolis) is fighting with the state over this. Amazon has 3 distribution centers in the state, yet collects no sales tax from Indiana residents.

I don't like paying sales tax, but I see the point of Simon's argument - it's just unfair that their tenants' competition collects no sales tax, which gives them an instant 7% price advantage. It also robs the state of revenue. Indiana's one of the few states that actually run in the black, but that's only because of a lot of cuts over the last few years.

That petition response is even more noteworthy for having a nice mix of trying to claim that non-believers make up an important part of the US even as Obama endorses the claim that God is important to nation.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. Believers and non-believers are both important parts of our country.

I was expecting a supercomputer made out of a beowulf cluster of Atari Jaguars.

As others have pointed out, this article is flawed. I bet a good 80% of those .NET jobs are actually ASP.NET jobs.
