after 30 years of warning every bloody CS student

And yet, in this industry, I've dealt with "programmers" with music degrees, English degrees, etc.

Plus, a CS degree is not required to contribute to Open Source. It's a double-edged sword -- "Anyone can contribute to Open Source" means sometimes, people who are grossly unqualified will contribute.

I've been coding, designing, and managing developers for over 20 years. I have not once been bitten in my own code by a buffer overflow. I have, however, fixed a lot of them in other people's code.

C / C++ is one of the most popular languages for a reason -- it's an extremely powerful tool.

C# / Java are not as powerful, because I, as a developer, can not "run on the iron" -- I can't hand code some assembler to eek out a little more performance.

... and that custom assembler I wrote led to a 20 million dollar increase to the companies bottom line over 4 years, as we didn't have to buy a dedicated daughter card -- I was able to do it in software fast enough.

C# and Java have their place. But to blame Heartbleed on C/C++ is completely stupid.

In UK English it's always 'couldn't'. "I could care less" just isn't used over here, it wouldn't make sense.

What I wrote: part of that is used solely to redistribute my wealth to others in the form of welfare.

There are legitimate uses of taxation. National Defense is clearly one of the legitimate uses as denoted in the Constitution.

Welfare / Food Stamps, etc., are not appropriate at a Federal Level.

Try trolling someone else, dumbass.

I'm pretty sure he'd shoot the book

Not with ammo prices what they are today, I wouldn't.

The remainder of that statement is: "The only thing it deprives him of is the ability to enslave others by means of such appropriations."

... which does not make the statement true, as communism does indeed deprive the man of his ability to reap the fruits of his labor.

Therefore, my point remains.

But nuance? It's so European... Why not just reach for your gun?

Reach? It's on my hip at all times dude.

Here's one: "Communism deprives no man of the ability to appropriate the fruits of his labour."

This is provably, and demonstrably, false. The state currently takes 35% of my income, part of that is used solely to redistribute my wealth to others in the form of welfare.

This, however, is a true statement:

Communism deprives all men of the ability to appropriate the fruits of his labor. As a result, the incentive for man to work is negated, and the only thing that communism spreads is abject poverty.

... they just try harder and harder to obscure what they're really trying to do.

The only "King's Day" I'm celebrating is Easter.

maybe you are d_r

Congrats, you probably just made that moron cream his shorts.

There you go again pretending you voted for somebody other than Barack Hussein Obama in 2012. Or that you'll vote for someone other than the Democrat in 2016.

... and you have the nerve to accuse me of being "transparent".

Actually, Brass Fetcher uses 20% gelatin, whereas FBI requires only 10% gelatin for penetration testing. So Brass Fetcher's youtube page is a terrific resource.

I actually started loading Remington Golden Sabers instead of Hornady Critical Max in my Glock based on the ballistics tests on Brass Fetcher's channel.

even looking for anybody that acts sanely and rationally that would reform it.

Welcome aboard the Ted Cruz bandwagon.... oh wait, you don't like the 1 guy in DC saying we should abolish the IRS.

I guess it's true -- you really are "Ready For Hillary".
