So rather than debating me on an intellectual level, you insult me and then try to act all sophisticated when in fact you failed to comprehend my post. Since I know you're not capable of debating me, go fuck yourself.

My ass. I've been doing this shit for 25+ years. I just get it and you don't you worthless fucking piece of shit Linux Lover.

The computer should never be allowed into an erroneous state. If an instruction does do that, it should not be allowed. So for example, if I do

#include "SomeHeaderFile.h"
and end up with a compiler error that SomeHeaderFile.h is not found...that means the IDE allowed me to do something stupid. Furthermore, it should know about possible dependencies and lead the programmer to possible dependencies.

If a function signature is
void MyFunction( int iParamOne, int iParamTwo );
and I do something like
bool bParam = false;
MyFunction( bParam, 1234 );
the IDE should stop me.

char* pLetters = new char[64];
pLetter[65];
Even the worst programmers might not do this, but I'm just making a point. Anyway, etc... with these types of ideas.

Almost every bug on the planet is a result of something stupid that really could be detected by the IDE/Compiler. I've never seen someone find a bug and say "My code was brilliant" These types of things shouldn't even be happening anymore.

The reason I feel really alone, is that everyone I know thinks these kinds of things are no big deal. Even if you waste 5 seconds as a programmer, that can add up to significant amounts of time and brain cycles.

One should never perform the same task twice on a computer, else they have missed the point of automation.

and people are willing to trust them with their life savings, why can't the government get it done. What's the difference between protecting a financial transaction and a national security secret?

Furthermore, why not just hire Bruce Schneier!!!

Clock speed, bit length, bus speed, and processor count is all that matters. I guess I've taken for granted that their opcodes aren't erroneous( i.e. Add Instruction takes 50 clock cycles ).

Does anyone ever verify their stats? I guess I take their word for it on those too.

If I was able to post the information on my Facebook page, would the US Government shut down Facebook, or would Zuckerberg agree to cooperate with the FBI? (Not that I have the information, btw)

If you were a naive end user, I can't even imagine why you would consider Ubuntu. It has come a long way since Red Hat, but it's not even close to Windows. It doesn't have the software that Windows has, or ease of use. As long as you're giving software away for free, it's going to be limited in functionality. Most people aren't willing to work for free and this stuff doesn't develop itself. Although we should get there soon, open source will never get us there.

As a developer, the only reason to use Ubuntu is not having to deal with Microsoft's licensing agreements. From a business perspective, I believe it's well worth the licensing fees to get up and running way quicker. All of the development tools in Ubuntu are atrocious. Codeblocks, JCreator, GDB are atrocious. These software tools are primitive for 10 years ago.

A Linux lover friend of mine was bragging that he built his own machine and installed Ubuntu. He paid $800, and I paid $600 for a pre built machine with Windows 7 already installed and MINE HAD BETTER SPECS. Take into account his time, and what sane person would think he got a better deal??? The final verdict. Don't ever use Ubuntu.

The Federal Government. Whatever law she supposedly broke contradicts the First Amendment which clearly states "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press". The judge was incorrect with his decision.

There is no interpreting that amendment. There is nothing in there about national security. Her time in jail is a violation of the constitution.

I responded previously about the Schiff book and Jeian helped me out with the wiki entry.

Why is the author a crackpot? For being bold enough to stand up for what our Founding Fathers fought for. They shed blood over way lower taxes. Would you prefer that we were still under British rule?

If the government can ban fraudulent speech(even though it's not), then we don't have free speech.

Why should they have to bar anyone from advocating nonpayment of tax? People don't have to listen. They'll go to jail just like he did if they don't file a supposed "voluntary" return.

Why don't we see them going out and barring sales of the Ginsu Knife?
