    Not that I think the US has any moral high ground overall, but they only court-order your password under circumstances where someone's already seen evidence of something illegal on…

    The UK is beyond unreasonable with that nonsense. What if you ask a foreign partner to create a key and secure the device without telling you until you are past the border or out o…

    Oh, is it about visas? I was going to snark it up and say they also recognize pizza as a vegetable. I approve of pro gamers getting visas to compete even if I'm not interested in w…

    Well, here's a false dichotomy. I don't know why hiring decisions would be based on gender at all, though, so I don't know why badclient seems to argue for it here. Both men and wo…

    Obviously people would mow lawns but the price would be higher because they don't have to. If you wanted someone to mow your lawn, you would probably need extra income. Or, since y…

    But have they equal tooling? That's why I'd be using C if I were using C for something; it's "portable assembly".

    This is literally true and goes beyond security. I hope everyone who complained about Google Reader takes note of this; once you have the freedom to modify and rebuild you are triv…

    I don't think you are a poor empiricist in your field. If you can somehow equate fossil records with creationism, then yes you are a poor empiricist in that field. I specifically w…

    Unless it's clear how to get from one view to the other and which view you use is optional. Then that might be a feature :)

    Well it's like how can certain computer programmers be Christian fundamentalists[1]? They were taught that way as a child and have no influences that really refute what they believ…

    Some English speakers claim they are uninterested in Coq for similar reasons. I guess if you want to ignore a good tool because of a bad name, go ahead. But it seems to be throwing…
