What should people like me do to show people like you that we're just as fed up as you are, if not more?
Vote. Talk to your neighbors. Get involved. Volunteer. Organize. Protest at your local county courthouse.

either way he's not getting anything
Which is probably why he was addicted in the 1st place.
Similarly, it is a good idea to wall off some parts of a city that is infested with bubonic plague.
How can pirated software kill you?
You are neither
This. Face it, you're a jock.
I first used VMS in Computing 122, programming in Fortran 77, at uni in 1984
I was thinking the same thing as you. College programming classes in the 80's (at UMBC) consisted of taking your assignment and writing out your logic by hand, signing up for terminal time, then coding it in Fortran.
He sees a day when every kitchen has a 3-D printer, and the earth's 12 billion people feed themselves customized, nutritionally-appropriate meals synthesized one layer at a time, from cartridges of powder and oils they buy at the corner grocery store
No flipping way. You'll have to pry my garden from my cold dead hands before I'm eating that shit.
plain, simple, normal SOAP
How simple are you talking about?
chemical (water processing etc) engineers are interested in one of the country's largest man made chemical(water) processing structure.
I'm a chemical engineer, and I too visited several water and wastewater treatment facilities while in college. The whole class went at the same time on these "field trips." But, from TFA:
Shortly after midnight Tuesday, seven people were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir.
All of the "field trips" we took were during the day, and never "shortly after midnight." And, the trips were made while we were still in school, not after we graduated. The actions of these people seem very suspicious to me.
Money is not speech
Perhaps, but my freedom to spend my money as i see fit, on the candidate or candidates of my choosing, is protected under the 1st Amendment.
corporations are not people
True, but when the government decides to regulate corporations, they have a right to speak, like the individual person does.
I thought it was just inexperience talking, but I'm a grown-up programmer now. 'Senior', by some estimates. And yet I still have a hard time estimating the time of getting things up and running
You need a "rule of thumb." I had the same problem until I decided that the minimum a project would take for basic functionality is 4 hours for each table in the database. If they need fancy ajax stuff or any eye-candy, then it goes up from there.
It's worked pretty well for the past few projects. I've even come in under on a couple.
The Sahara desert was a green and lush place just a few thousand years ago
I believe the change there is due to the precession of the earth's axis.
Cast iron or nothing.
Amen to that. I had a stainless one that we inherited after my wife's grandmother died, and I was never able to get as good a casserole or even roast cooked in it as I can w/ my cast iron one. Not sure about the other commenter who said to take it camping, it's damn heavy.
[then, a huge jar of "jam" smashes into the dish]
Somehow, it's not as funny if you have to explain it.
Even in the first half of this year, we expect to ship more than 2x the units in Q1 and Q2 than the same quarters last year, but it is not enough to meet our aggregate customer demand...This will also mean we will not necessarily be doubling output on every product line, but will focus output on the datacenter and professional client product lines to help satisfy demand on products that our customers have designed in, and will reduce the volume on products for segments that are more transactional in nature.
The NAND shortage came to light last year after companies like OCZ reported lower expected revenues due do insufficient supply. Price increases are imminent.
No man is an island if he's on at least one mailing list.
