It's a giant collection of TeX files from 1994. It's not easily converted into a proper, parseable format.

I suppose it depends on the context. Considering America's oppressive regulatory environment, and that occupational licensing is bad, I'm usually inclined to call it 'admirable disruption'.

This is too broad and abstract to be actionable, let alone analyzable. What is "democratic" control? If people elect representatives who try to run the economy as if it were a diesel engine, is that democratic control? Or does it

If we go to Boston, and we find that the people in the North all have nice clean homes, and the people in the South live in a dump, then that's a valid distinction because the difference existed before we went to Boston. If you look

What I meant up there is they had three verified fair elections to bail out, they didn't, so now their country is in ruins. Democracy has its failures, but people getting what they voted for isn't one of them.

People vote for Communism, they get Communism. What's the problem here?

Chavez was elected in 1998 in a clean election[0]. He was re-elected in 2000, in an election the Carter Center found satisfactory[1]. He was once again elected in 2006, in an election EU observers found to be free and fair[2]. After three e

You can easily do this with StumpWM, and the process is the same: you write a config file, add it to the stumpwm.asd file, and compile every time you need to make a change.

Thanks, corrected it.

Personally, I don't really use StumpWM itself , I just use a window manager written in the programming language I know best -- and that just happens to be StumpWM. If my favourite language was Lua, I'd use AwesomeWM. If I could t
