Perhaps they can sell them at Love Field, but only if they are driving within the state. Does that help?

one called "Basic BASIC" and one called "Advanced BASIC" - My school had a PDP-8e running ETOS and OS/8 - Used an ASR33 Teletype or a DecwriterII if I signed up for it early enough - I used TECO to edit programs and ultimately wound up working for DEC for a few years :) - After BASIC, I picked up FORTRAN IV - Once the AppleII and PET arrived, I learned PASCAL, C, and 6502 assembler - The assembler code made me go back to the PDP-8e and learn that machine code as well.

That's just the programming.

Learning to actually write software properly, and not resort to things like self-modifying code, globals, and gotos took real world experience

DMCA is a great example of your US taxpayer dollars at work. The people that you elected to represent you and your interests were paid by you to write and enact this legislation. Did you get your money's worth? The industry lobbyists sure did.

Government is corrupt and self serving. Film at 11.

There is no reasonable concept of reasonableness.

...how some readers can think that politicians can do anything meaningful to influence this issue. The presumption that politicians have the time, will, intellectual capacity, common sense, and just plain patience to study an issue and formulate a response that is in any way useful, is a mind set that completely eludes me.

The same holds for the media.

Where does it say anywhere that the press owes you an accurate, well-researched story? The media exists not to inform but to sell advertising.

Media and Politics are two sides of the same see-saw. Both sides want our attention and our money, but ultimately benefit us nothing.

If you are passionate about global warming, stop consuming electricity, stop driving your car, stop eating processed foods, stop using air conditioning, stop heating your house with fossil fuels, stop wearing synthetic fibres, stop buying over-packaged products, make individual choices that get the attention of others.

Just don't be a jerk about it. Be a positive role model. Don't be a pious martyr. Don't drive a Prius and think you are changing the world.

The attention that you create causes questions to get asked, and you win hearts and minds one at a time. Nobody wants to do this because it takes work and time. They would rather see who can scream the loudest on the weekend news shows, and settle for a knee-jerk steaming pile of legislation that is a result of mis-informed horse trading.

Totally expecting to lose karma points on this one.

No, it is how key exchange is accomplished in the South :)

The "Biowarfare" tag is simply priceless :)
