A silver lining is that if fewer sites use WordPress, the web won't look nearly as homogeneous as it does now.

D-Day was done in response to violence (starting with the invasion Poland in 1939), not speech . Protection of political speech is the bedrock of American civilization. It's funny, if you want to find the truly most loathsome of y

You have examples, like North Korea, which invaded its southern neighbor in an act of naked, unprovoked aggression five years after the peninsula was partitioned.

Yeah, that's what Python's "batteries included" slogan means. Perl and Python not only ship with lots of libraries, but have built-in functions for file manipulation and running arbitrary shell commands as part of the co
