Who has a deep and abiding desire to beat the shit out of every Congressman who votes for a bill without fully understanding it?

You might reconsider your definition of "leaving" once you see what I've dumped behind those garden walls.

At least you're willing to admit that you're a Microsoft Office developer!

So is its notorious tendency to keep developers and consumers within its walled gardens.

What on earth are you talking about? Windows 8 is all about forcing people to get software from Microsoft's store. That's exactly opposite of leaving behind walled gardens.

My college geometry course was probably the most enjoyable of all my math courses, and in particular the part about non-Euclidean geometry. It was a wonderful period of growth for me, where I was forced on using rigorous logic without any hope of appealing to physical-world analogs / intuitions for my inspiration.

Sorry, have to post to undo my accidental modding of the parent as "Redundant". I was going for "Insightful".

I think it's reasonable to expect these laptops to contain thermometers and to automatically shutdown with there's a risk of fire. They're designed to be used in domestic environments with little to no training of the user.

Pray it's not bumped by a Pinto.

So what happens when they fly over countries with proper privacy regulations? Hopefully those countries will issue INTERPOL warrants for the company executives.

Any time you advocate the passage of a law, you're trying to force your will on others.

Your problem appears to be that you disapprove of his religion, and want him silenced. You, sir, are a bigot and a hypocrit.

Yes, and I'm actually planning on making the move (for real). I'm in the process of obtaining my birthright citizenship in one of the Shengen countries, after which I intend to move my family over there.

No country is perfect, but America is being so badly run these days, I think Europe (Germany) is worth a try for me.

Being black isn't a choice. Homosexuality and Judaism both have some involuntary aspects (heritage for Jews, something we still haven't figured out for homosexuals), and some voluntary aspects (participating in Jewish culture/religion; engaging in homosexual acts).

Facebook owns virtually all the aspects of the social experience

That sounds far-fetched. My social experience involves hanging out with my family, chatting with coworkers, emailing some people, and chatting up people at the coffee shop. No Facebook whatsoever, and I doubt I'm alone.

By having led to the ouster of Mozilla's new CEO?

Are you sure? I was under the impression that car windows filtered out a lot of UV. For example, you won't get sunburn while sitting in a car with your windows rolled up.

If it's UV that matters here, and not simply bright visible light, then being in a car wouldn't do it I suspect.

What that one commandment? And, define Dick in a way we'll all agree on.
