Even if our society managed to put enough measures in place to mitigate all but the risks associated with an asteroid impact,
Try that post again, but change "asteroid impact" to "climate change" nee "global warming" and see what kind of moderation you get.
Two choices. Get it while it is in the submission queue and vote it down, or don't post in it if it becomes a story on the front page.
I can see that you're an idiot. I don't know why you bothered to post.
Feel free to try that strategy. I wouldn't recommend it.
Somebody on Team Larry isn't going to get a bonus this year.
If only there was a way to get more information, somehow.
Find and fix defects in your C/C++ or Java open source project for free.
A pity it's free. They must be implying that open source software isn't worth any money, right?
90% of coverity's defect's tend to be really false positives that would be obvious to even the average code monkey
If the average code monkey was spotting the defects they shouldn't be in there at all for Coverity to find. Tools catch things that people overlook, including subtle things.
So comparing two unknowns you decided one of them was arbitrarily better? Any chances that the tool might be checking for more things after 8 years?
Or are you carefully selecting data to get a nice report and link to PostgreSQL?
So, a private company has been helping 400 open source projects with code quality (usually considered important) for quite some time now using their tools which find many different code defects. It had been started with government money, but now they take it out of hide. And do you shed any light on it? Provide more information? No, you just make uninformed comments about things that have easy to find answers and whine. What a waste.

The US has been willing to protect the territorial integrity of Saudi Arabia. It doesn't really take sides between Sunni and Shia. You may note that Iraq is primarily Shia and the US worked to protect it. Iran is overwhelmingly Shia and the US was allied with it until the Islamic Revolution.
I doubt the House of Saud is strongly interested in reestablishing the Caliphate since they would have to pledge fealty to it. Al Qaida considers the House of Saud to be bad rulers, not Islamic enough in the right way for their tastes. As a result al Qaida has long been trying to overthrow the Kingdom.
Those who would quote Benjamin Franklin without understanding that he opened other American's mail for intelligence purposes, and that George Washington ran a spy ring that operated in the Colonies, aren't likely to get the question of Essential Liberty or Safety correct.
People in the US have lost no essential liberties.
Virtually every terrorist group in the world shifting tactics in wake of NSA leaks: U.S. officials
Terrorists harder to track after Snowden's leaks, officials say
It's amazing to me that you would think terrorists changing tactics in light of Snowden's leaks would even be a question.
The US spends so little on social spending that it is embarrassing.
I'm sorry, but you are very uninformed about US social spending if you believe that to be true.
The US spends 2X on social spending at the federal level compared to the military. The states also have social spending, and little military spending.

Actually no, people in the US don't like war.
The US spends large amounts on defense because it pays its soldiers a competitive wage in a volunteer army since the 1970s. Most other nations with large militaries use conscription, and are less equipped that the US, and don't have to move forces like the US.
Yes the label does make sense, especially in taking over a French colonial war in South East Asia.
I'm afraid you've got that wrong. The French lost that war and gave up their colony. The US wasn't trying to take over South Vietnam and make it a colony. The US was helping South Vietnam avoid being taken over by communist military forces loyal to North Vietnam. Australia participated in the military mission during the Vietnam War, as it had in the Korean War.
A few details about Korea you left out.
. As the war drew to a close in August of 1945, two U.S. army colonels (one of whom, Dean Rusk, would later become Secretary of State) proposed that the Soviet Union take responsibility for accepting the surrender of Japanese troops in the part of the Korean peninsula north of the 38th parallel, whereas U.S. troops would receive the surrender south of that line. This decision resulted in the division and separation of many villages along the 38th parallel and families with ties across that line. The postwar planners had intended that the division between North and South Korea would be a temporary administrative solution. After the war, the United Nations agreed to oversee elections in the North and South in 1947 in the hopes that it would lead to the reunification of Korea under a democratically elected government. However, the Soviet Union blocked the elections in its section and instead, supported Kim Il Sung as leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). In the South, the United States supported Syngman Rhee as the elected leader of the newly founded Republic of Korea (ROK). Both Kim and Rhee were nationalists dedicated to the idea of reunification, although each ruled with a different ideological vision. In 1949, under a UN agreement, both the Soviet Union and the United States withdrew their military forces from Korea, but both left large numbers of advisors on the peninsula. The two sides were to continue negotiations over elections to reunify the country, and although the United States preferred that the resulting government not be communist, in 1949 it was still not prepared to commit militarily to preventing that outcome. Both sides periodically instigated skirmishes across the 38th parallel, but the war formally began when the DPRK crossed the demarcation line and attacked the ROK on June 25, 1950. Both Korean governments had been adamant about reunifying the peninsula, and the Soviet-supported DPRK saw an opportunity to do so with a swift strike.
As to the line for the US Marine Corp hymn you quote, it notes places they fought, not territories added to the United States.
