> legal distinctions are pointless to this discussion Legal distinctions are absolutely material to this discussion. You can't pretend they don't exist; you need to persuade repres…

Why on God's green Earth would you pollute Arch with KDE?! :)

I agree to an extent, but part of ownership is having the ability to rent it out. Without the incentive to extract rent, there would be no motive to accrue the large amount of infr…

If he's a 3 year old floundering idiot, what does that make his political opponents who he continues to trounce?

I am on my third month as a paying subscriber, and it is worth it to me. I am lower-middle class, so my budget is pretty tight. I wouldn't mind a discount!

Veteran here. Most of us are a humble bunch, but I've met some incredibly gifted individuals while serving... and I served in the US Army Infantry. I would encourage you to rethink…

Awesome! I didn't realize how many contributors were involved in the project. Exciting milestone.

I would disagree on this point, being a "right"-libertarian from a low-income family, but I will happily concede that this differs from person to person, situation to situation. Li…

Hardly. He stated that there is a difference between illegal and legal immigration, and that right now, somehow, that distinction is being lost in the hyperbole. One side of the ar…

Are we pretending that the source you cited is not a biased opinion piece?

1. His point was that the Manning leaks revealed one war crime, not a trend. 2. Clapper is/was not a military official. 3. Being a former US Army infantryman, I have no clue what y…

Can you expand on what your mentor defined as a "product shop" vs "professional services shop"?

> Charity follows trends and whims, not needs. You imply government policy does not follow trends and whims, which is observably false.

Except for all the times that they aren't "cowardly".

I was sponsored through the Udacity Intro to Java course by my employer as a condition of employment when I first got recruited. I found that it was a great course on learning the …

Did you just make me doubt myself? :)

The author of the article doubted his faculties enough to mention his hesitation to act due to impairment. My familiarity with the effects of ingesting the substance is irrelevant.…

Did nobody else notice the author claimed to be on acid at the time? That is an awfully vivid recollection of events for someone out of their mind on LSD. I highly doubt he remembe…

I think the commenter who stated that it is likely should cite their source. If you make an assertion like that, you should back it up.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. When I first started learning Rails, I found that a lot of the automagical stuff hindered my understanding of how Rails actually worked. After bui…

I'm glad that there are alternatives to Rails still being developed. I have looked at both projects independently before, and it makes sense for Hanami to adopt ROM as it's ORM.

When the most powerful demographic in the United States came together to assert that making America great again meant asserting their supremacy, they were asserting my supremacy. I…
