When you can see past spellchecker errors and the effects of the miserable Slashdot mobile pages, then you will be able to engage in meaningful dialog. Until then you will be dismissing contrary opinions for no good reason.
Other than that, your island seems nice.
Really well? They seem to be losing the lead in the sea pirate business.
Water features also provide significant air quality benefits, especially if you aerate them. There's just lots of good reasons to implement them. Trees, as well; I cringe when I see posts permanently erected for vehicle control. Removable or sinking bollards, certainly. They have their purpose. But fixed ones?
So you truly have no comprehension of what makes sports popular do you? It's PRECISELY the fact that people think of these teams as "their team".
I like motorsports because I like motorsports, I don't care about any particular team. It's thrilling just to see it. That's what's great about stuff like world rally.
Why? Seriously, why? What does that have to do with the outcome of the race?
What does the outcome of the race have to do with the enjoyment? You're not racing. What do you care who wins? They're doing it completely and totally without you. Same for sports. That's not your team. You just bought some of their marketing crap.
A moat is still a good idea. It can be an attractive feature, if done correctly, and someone entering the moat is a flag that they may be able to jump the fence.
Actually, I have seen several reports which indicate that Big Oil gives more money to scientists supporting AGW than they do to scientists opposing it.
Classic all-time backfires; much of the time, even trying to prove that it's okay to pollute is going to show the opposite, because duh.
Let's reword that... The people who make a living off this stuff disagree with you(him). Weird, right?
The money is in agreeing with you. Big Oil and the like are happy to pay scientists for studies which say that they can continue raping our ma.
If that's all the variable is used for, won't the compiler optimize it out of existence anyway? Or is that too fancy yet?
I think a lot of people don't really understand how the compiler actually works. Not even at a basic level.
Well, no, I don't. That's why I asked. It sounds like the answer to my question is yes?
QNX.
And Hillary will not be our President.
But as for taking production back to Wolfsberg, last I checked there were still lots of VWs made in Mexico.
Right. Don't buy them. They specifically moved the Golf back to Wolfsberg. Be careful, though, because I think they moved it back to Mexico more recently. You can get e.g. a "VAG VIN Decoder" app for Android, or just memorize which place in the VIN to look at and a handful of plant codes. Then you'll know precisely where the vehicle was produced.
If adding a variable aids readability, add the fucking variable! Shove all the results into a meaningful, readable variable name and then shove *that* into your function argument, not some long series of nested function. It's not the 90s. You don't have to save memory! Memory is there to make your code readable. Use it!

Ars Technica just lost my respect
Welcome to the party, it began several years ago.
Please tell me you already feel this way about Gawker.
I got my job just because the company I work for had over twenty developers that were all male, and it looked bad on their EEO report.
Not because you were the most qualified applicant? That means the company you work for hired you not because they should have, but because they were strong-armed into it. In fact, they should not have had to have hired you, they should have been able to hire the best-qualified applicant.
