Well, I have not heard of such letters being rejected. Not read, maybe...

> Romney would obviously be even worse for this I am not sure how you come to this conclusion. Is it something he said, or history of his actions, or a general attitude against the Republican party, or something else?

More like an editor truce this time. As long as it lasts, I concur: having built-in export/import to existing popular solutions would be very helpful.

Or simply a visitor with shallow opinions. And preconceptions.

A link to the Simple English version of an article will appear, if available, in the "Languages" menu on the left margin of the article. (True for any language.)

I absolutely agree. And I want to add that IQ and smartness are not the same thing (although there is a positive correlation which sometimes confuses people).

No; then you will just hack them.

You were not a terrorist because you did not participate in the terrorist activities, and refusing to speak Spanish is not a terrorist action (and should not be a criminal offense anyway, just complicates life). Exiling the whole family of

No, not really. This is a cheap excuse for not looking at the facts.

Those indices are weighted and we may apply different coefficients depending on what kind of freedom we are studying (freedom of the press, business, human rights, etc).

Not predicted Bush? Not predicted 9/11, more like. Which is strange too: one of my first impressions of the US was how vulnerable the country was. (Resilient too, but that was not surprising.)

You forgot to put it in a headline.

I think they run it on reputation, not on the actual quality of the application. Users do not yet have enough experience to judge on the basis of its actual performance.

More so. But Apple tends to get good grades on the perception front, which is no less important for the general public than the technical front.

USSR was not moon rock-poor, it had a reasonable amount of moon rock extracted by automatic space craft (more precisely, space craft not inhabited by humans). The point of reaching the Moon is different, it's to spark the imagination and in

Funny! I often enter the time not divisible by 5. Say, the package says 4-5 minutes, I can press 444 to get to 4:44, it's easier. (Well, maybe it is me who is funny, I don't know.)

If USA had threatened China with destruction and had been known to actively work towards that goal, then yes, China would be right to resist. This is not the case, and therefore your question is invalid. (It also smells like the party line

Well, just a few days ago I was trying the new system in our apartment complex where we can use a credit card to add value to the smart card that is used in the local washer and drier systems. I had to type in the url to get it going. Well,

Seems like C# is doing the same, and more effectively.

You are talking about goluboj (голубой) and sinij (синий). Interestingly, to me they are not completely different: goluboj has always been just like "light sinij", even though Russian has remained my only language for about 20 years.

Almost as important. I agree wholeheartedly: without communication, there is no team, just a bunch of folks sitting next to each other. (Still, working is more important than talking about it.)

Yes! All good points. The US is losing here. Still an attractive country, but more should be done for it to maintain the edge.

I want to be a disqus user, not a user of 4000 tiny blogs. Yes! And in addition to the above arguments, I would say, having a single identity across a variety of sites may be convenient.

If we cannot put aside assassination and torture, then the human race has no hope. We can and should put aside torture. Assassination, however, is still a preferred tool, when often an alternative is a larger scale military confli

C is well placed in that sweet spot close to the hardware where the abstractions are good enough to hide the hardware specifics from the programmer and good enough to build more advanced abstractions with sufficient efficiency. Because it i
