My only affiliation with this game is that I back it. Today is the last day of the kickstarter..... http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/danshapiro/robot-turtles-the-board-game-for-little-programmer

Fixed that for you.

Yep, politics as usual... Glad to know that the richest nation on Earth could care less when 70,000 innocent people die as long as their skin is brown and/or they live in the desert.

Many, many more might die if we get involved. Millions might die. How can you be sure that the US escaling violence by bombing will result in fewer deaths long-term? Also, what if the facts being spouted on the news are incorrect? This whole thing sounds worse than invading Iraq for weapons of mass-destruction and we all know how well that ended.

Fixed that for you.

Except in this case it is actually relevant. According to the Department of Education students that are ethnic minorities are 3.5 times as likely to be expelled than a white student who does the exact same thing.... Think about that and then claim that race doesn't matter.

You are incorrect. This is them complaining about their name becoming a verb....

Asking for a refund would be totally relevant if he was their customer. He isn't... He is the product and when your users are your product getting your users mad really can have consequences.

And what is wrong with that? It is her house. She has lived there her whole life. Why should she need to give it up because someone else wants to make a few bucks? I think the old lady who owns the land should have more rights to it than some developer that really, really wishes it owned the land.

Perhaps you'd prefer Star Wars IIIIIII?

I personally feel that he'd be much better off just ignoring the domain and creating his own website (possibly with the domain, http://domains-do-not-really-matter-anymore.com/ but I do understand where he is coming from a little bit. People will assume that whatever is being published at www.ronpaul.com will be things that Ron Paul agrees with. Think of it as a giant newletter with Ron Paul's logo on it. Of course, he could just ignore it and let them publish whatever they feel like, but if he does that and they publish something he really disagrees with it could cause some damage to his "brand." Perhaps he figures the only way to prevent a repeat of the 1980's racist newletters incident is to make sure he controls his own brand.....

Of course, once again my own opinion is that he'd be much better just getting a different domain with great content and making sure his domain *clearly* states that he has no editorial control over http://www.ronpaul.com./

Just because it is possible to use DOS as a real-time OS doesn't mean that DOS *is* a real-time OS. It is similar to how people *can* program C in an object-oriented manner, but that doesn't make C an object-oriented language.

Excuse me.... I happen to be a time-traveler from the future and the device you'd call a "cell phone" is still pretty huge and expensive.

Yeah, I was just thinking, "Wouldn't another war be nice?" And this whole pre-emptive strike thing has been working out so well!

You are afraid that letting them develop longer will lead to them being more dangerous. Isn't it possible that letting them develop might lead to them being less dangerous? Maybe there will be a popular uprising? Maybe with increased wealth and education will come preasure from the populace to increase freedoms? Why should popular opinion in the US be the decider and enforcer of what North Korea does? Why not let North Korea's neighbors (South Korea, China, Japan, Russia along with many, many others that are much closer) take the lead? Have we learned nothing from the mistakes in Iraq? Why are you so eager for our country to squander what wealth we have by blowing up people half a world away?

As a programmer just the inefficiencies of war (spending billions of dollars buildings things to blow up people and infrastructure) makes me weap let alone the cost in human life. I also strong suspect that all of these wars are going to make things much more dangerous for America down the road.

Mod parent up and grandparent down. Stupid troll is not informative....

I drive a pretty wimpy car around a really busy city (Austin, TX) and I've never had a problem getting up to a safe merging speed. In fact, the bigger risk around here is people going 60 mph on the on ramp for a highway when traffic on the highway is only going 20 mph. Perhaps there are other reasons besides safety that you feel you need to drive a car with a lot of get up and go? Of course, as everything I mentioned is anecdotal your mileage may vary....
