Well, you are supposing a lot about me. But I will concede maybe I play into the right-vs-left thing too much. And I do think of it as a sport.
However, "my side" sees politicians working together as the problem. I have no issue with government being paralyzed. I don't want them to work on solutions. The less they do the better.
And I said "calm down" because you were rude. It was condescending, so sorry for that.
Confession time - I did indeed do this. The "WhiteHart" sock puppet was a childish experiment to see if a raging liberal (as opposed to a hardcore right-winger) would garner more karma. Of course I am not a raging liberal, so the experiment went nowhere (as you can see from WhiteHart's comment history).
This may or may not violate Slashdot's account policies. I'm not sure, I cannot find anything about multiple accounts in the FAQ. If it becomes an issue and my regular account were to be terminated, I really have no defense to give.
As I said, the WhiteHart "fake" account never really got off the ground, and I'm surprised to have found myself logged in. According to the FAQ, I cannot delete WhiteHart; I will just have to try to forget about him. Please believe me when I say I've learned a few things in the 8 years since I set up the sock-puppet, and it is something I detest today if I see it elsewhere. Mostly I really do stick to posting my comments under my actual name where practical.
"It drives me crazy that I need both a metric and a standard set of socket wrenches and hex keys"
Me too, I want a set that is a mix of metric and SAE. At least the SAE sizes should be in metric first with the SAE size added as an afterthought.
I don't know if I believe you guys or not.
As a tool guy, I'm always wanting more tools, not less.

Whhuuuuut??!?!?

False. Completely false. Why do you persist in this nonsense? Women, in the same career field as a man, almost always makes less. They only place it's close is in a wage controlled environments. Where a person doing X classification makes the same by contract. Even in those case women rise through the class slower then men. This is a real problem. Why does this scare you?.
This is just not true. Once you factor in time & effort on the job, the gap nearly closes. Women choose to place domestic priorities higher than men. Why does this scare you?
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
