Actually, the Bill of Rights was an outgrowth of the public perception of events surrounding Shays' Rebellion.

The U.S. immigration policy is founded in the principles of Expansionism, which takes as its dictum, "growth is good". On a planet with 7 billion people, there is reason to question that wisdom.

Ideals are worthwhile, but rarely pay the rent, just ask Karl Marx. Policy that is dictated by idealogy most often comes at a very high cost.

There is a misguided perception, here, that immigration is about fairness. It is, in fact, about the benefit a society accrues from accepting the immigrant. You take on another mouth to feed in light of the production you will gain. Wringing hands over the ideal of welcoming all "wretched refuse" is to confuse poetry with reality.

If your software is localized, it will be accessible to a wider audience, that's really all there is to it. You have to decide if that wider audience merits the additional work. Bear in mind, access to such localized materials could help those struggling to learn both programming and English at the same time a doubly useful tool. Being reminded of the meaning of a "pre" tag with a localized tooltip might go a long way in helping to learn the often arcane "English" that is markup and code.

So, just don't hold the Mac Pro that way?

"We don't need you, you need us."

... this argument has been with us for at least a century, as well.

... the humanity we have is the humanity we deserve.

... make answers live out-of-body experiences. Be kind to your answers, contextualize.

The genie is long and truly out of the bottle. When someone realizes the implication of oval boring, we'll even have printable guns that leave no scoring on the bullet to identify the weapon it was fired from.

As desirable as it might be to better control who has access to guns, outlawing them will only benefit the global market in illegal weapons. Witness the success of the "War On Drugs", initiated by the Nixon administration and the greatest single factor in the ascent of Mexican drug cartels.

When an employee does it, it's fraud; when a company does it, it's "smart business".

... as long as the programmer isn't named Zuckerberg.
