Yeah, what we really need in America is more inequality.

Yes, in our already overcrowded prison system, with disproportionately high populations of minorities, surely we should incentivize death sentences when there's such a high demand for transplantable organs.

So... you do know that it costs taxpayers more to execute someone than imprison them for life, right?

Not if you need to write simple batch scripts sometimes. I can do it on any Windows system, in Notepad, with no additional software.

There are skeletons and zombies, and some sounds that could be scary, but nothing an 8 year old couldn't handle. They won't learn java directly unless they get into mods, which I think a lot of kids do when they see how powerful mods can be. They may, however, learn about basic logic gates, as one of the materials in the game functions like basic circuitry. Plus, it's just a great game for encouraging creativity, and teaching kids how to set long term goals and meet them.

I learned some BASIC in high school because it meant I could program my TI-83 in class. For fun, I wrote a program that would solve triangles, and a few more that would output dirty limericks. But I also wrote a program that would solve some physics problems that I didn't really want to learn. My physics teacher figured that if I were smart enough to write the program, I should be allowed to use the program in class. That'll motivate kids.

That's great for places like England, but... Look, the United States is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to the US.

I was unaware that the moral thing to do was accept bullying. I bet "The Great Dictator" upset Hitler, but in the US, it was the second most popular movie of 1941. I guess that's not comparably, since the terrorists won, and we all live in constant fear.

“You’ve heard of animals chewing off a leg to escape a trap? There’s an animal kind of trick. A human would remain in the trap, endure the pain, feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind.”

If a significant portion of games have linux releases, and I can run various Adobe apps on linux, there's no reason to stick with Windows.

Shit happens.

Oh no! Not the "rare metal" gallium!

How could something so dangerous and rare be sold to the general public?

That's... not really the same. Average people should not be under surveillance at all times. Cops are different. They're special; they're tasked with upholding the law and keeping the peace. They have more power than an average person, so they need to be under more scrutiny than the average person.

Unless you have a crappy connection that makes streaming all but impossible.

I don't get notability deletions at all. What, are they going to run out of digital pages?
