This begs the question: if a two party system is entrenched via FPTP/WTA plurality voting system and unlikely to ever relinquish such power, what recourse is there to change the political system? Elections won't do it because ele

Yup. I think a lot of the extrene nut-cases get a disproportionate amount of the attention placed on the whole prepper movement, but a lot of people are into it just for the either the fun of it or as a practical exercise in self-sufficice

Maybe. Undergraduate biology typically sticks to the same set of model systems (Krebs Cycle, for example) even across different courses (microbiology, biochemistry, etc.) in order to reveal deeper levels of complexity within some focused c

This sounds lile the premise to an Orwellian dystopia: the sugeon general is now requiring that all Americans stop thinking - for their own medical well being. Thought Limiters will be surgically grafted starting next thursday.

I like command line access, but the critical weakness of nearly every accounting application (cli or gui) is manual data entry. The number crunching is the easy part. The hard part is automating data entry through transaction gathering.

I disagree with Brooks, or rather he should speak for himself. What he says here may be true for the sizable branch of computer science that is software engineering, but most CS departments originally emerged out of mathematics departments

The word 'liberal' in a European context ranges in meaning, and often encompasses many aspects of what those in the US would recognize as 'libertarian'. It just really depends on the context though. Depending on the co

I always wondered why the IRS doesn't just deploy its own turbotax-like app. Then the fiasco with the health exchanges happened. So maybe government just doesn't do GUIs then. How about at least a RESTful API?
