I'm having a hard time agreeing with this. If I was an EC against the USA, which one of my goals would be met by having a stronger clandestine arm of the federal government?

A Terrorist wants mayhem, and destruction, and fear, not 1984. I'll check back tomorrow to see what you've come up with.

haha, where is my +1 troll mod?

Also, for my linux admin work, this ssh gem (http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org/) is awesome.

I can't speak to upgrading; I've been using ruby 1.9 the entire time. But, you are wrong, IMO, about documentation. First things I looked up in a modern scripting language, the data structures, and os interactions, were awesome. Take a look at these, and then, you can even click on them to see their c header!

I know this is always the trade off for IDE's that do everything. But last time I used eclipse on a c++ project I:
  spent 40 min figuring out how to install the c++ extensions, then actually doing so
  spent more time just searching threw menus to figure out how to get into debug more

Basically, Eclpse is useful if you already know eclipse. Because QT Creator is explicity for c++, it all makes sense for someone developing a c++ project. While I found eclipse confusing...until I tried to use it on a java project w/ maven build, then it was amazing.

This should not be your first method. This is fighting fire with fire. It is an asshole move to walk in for the first time, ask for a raise, while simultaneously implying you will quit if you don't get one.

Godel's Incompleteness Theorem basically proved otherwise.

I totally understand that they say "up to 5Mbs" on my consumer plan. But I use internet at all hours of the day, and can tell you I average above that at all times. So, while I have no legal retribution if they don't fulfill that (other than to just leave), I haven't had a problem with shared lines in the suburbs since Road Runner.

Have you seen DS9?

So, the daily news?
USA today this week: "30 mass killings, 137 victims: A typical year"

hahahahahaha
Truth.

Yep, evacuating the school and calling the cops is the appropriate response.

One of the parents claimed these "pranks" were ignored, implying that because the terrorists have won, it isn't cool anymore to call in a bomb threat.

You should never say it like this. Your body does not "fight off allergies". Allergies are when your body is fighting something it shouldn't.

The theory here is that when your immune system isn't educated correctly, it doesn't know what it should and should not go to war over. So, perhaps there are proteins/bacteria human children need to be subjected to before a certain again...or they grow up broken.

Unless:
    he doesn't need the extra nutrition because he eats a balenced diet (which is part of the point of this entire discussion)
    And like the nice solid crunch iceburg gives.

I prefer "butter lettuce", but most grocery stores around me don't carry it.

While Second Life (aka Life v2.0 ) has a bunch of fancy features, I hear the nostalgia of Life (v1.0) is still worth a good turn.
