Also, at least one of his cheating allegations was investigated and overturned by their university's administration. This sounds mostly like sour grapes.

Maybe. In a kind-of related note, though, I heard of one Brown CS professor who found pretty damning evidence that some students had cheated, and the University refused to do anything at all about it.

I can understand how a professor's patience would reach a limit.

That don't justify his particular response, I'm just saying I can see why he'd lose it.

I think two outcomes should have been upheld:

(1) Each student was graded according to his or her own merit.

(2) The prof. should perhaps have sued the school for a hostile workplace. And maybe the disruptive students arrested for disorderly conduct and/or suspended.

you wouldn't steal a policeman's hat!

Well, not before coming across Netflix's Jeeves and Wooster videos. Now I'm not so sure.

Whoa there. You wouldn't steel a car, would you???

Beim dritten Mal ist ein Charme!

Damn, lots of Stasi victims are still of working age even. You'd hope the Germans had developed more antibodies against this crap.

Given the nice, modular nature of LLVM, I would think even the GCC developers would find it to be a more enjoyable best to work on.

Any idea why most GCC developers don't simply port their front-ends / back-ends of choice to LLVM, and walk away from GCC?

I know there's the licensing issue, which I assume matters to some heavy-duty OSS advocates. But in my experience most programmers who work with OSS aren't super passionate about GPL vs. Berkeley -style licensing.

I did cover bi. I don't know enough about transsexuals to know where they fit into this schema.

If it's a matter of not having students who are sexually attracted to each other, they have a serious logistical problem:

• You can't have any girl with a straight boy.
• You can't have any boy with a straight girl.
• You can't have a gay girl with any girl.
• You can't have a gay boy with any boy.

I'm not positive, but I think you'd need something like this:

• It's only okay to pair a gay boy with a gay girl,. Or else each needs his/her own dedicated school
• Every bisexual student needs his/her own dedicated school
• All straight girls can be in the same school.
• All straight boys can be in the same school.

Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs! Well, actually, if they're female eggs than the federal government will be all over you. But if they're male eggs, screw `em. Because, you know, equality.

Nice explanation, thanks for taking the time.

I got the sense that you were implying that the right side of history == the more moral position. Is that where you were going with that?

I appreciate your comment. I suspect that everyone is to some extent ideologically driven. I think it matters quite a bit what the ideology is, and what ours is, and how strongly each of us clings to it, if we hope to come to agreement on an issue.

Either way, welcome to the wrong side of history.

Could you explain more about when you mean by being on the "wrong side of history"? I find it an interesting concept, but I'm not positive what you mean by it.

I find your logic compelling. I am now fully persuaded of the OP's assertion. Well done, sir.

You'll need to define those terms carefully before you have any hope of persuading us.

We'll give the NSA expedient access to our encrypted data...

When they'll confess to all possible breaches of our Constitution, and submit to the death penalty for any actual breaches.

Have we got a deal, NSA? Oh, why not? You fucking traitors.
