Having never lived in the US, I find it astounding that you could make a comment like that and get so many nods. I've never even heard a gunshot, and I don't know anyone who ever has.

Although your approach would seem valid, looking at websites built with x is not actually a good approach for choosing a framework to develop a website. For 99% of problems, any framework will do. As a new programmer, you probably want to c

Well, at risk of getting political I think the second Iraq war was a more counter productive military operation. But, yes, from a New Zealand perspective, The Rainbow Warrior affair triggered an equally dramatic change in foreign policy.

I wonder. If this adds one more trust factor to the standard model, does that mean it'll hold forever? Maybe? There must be some level on which we can baseline our understanding of the universe. Maybe this is it? maybe [1]? [1] http://news

They're mass ejection thrusters, so yes. But the amount of thrust produced is minuscule compared to a hydrocarbon burning rocket. So I don't think they'd be useful so deep into earths gravity well.

Yeah I've been using them for about a month too and all I can say is, this is how it should have always been. The docs give you a pretty good starting point for a fully functional user model, and jarcoal (above) outlines a simple method for

I think you're right. Early on git got a lot of traction, and I think this was largely due to github being so, so good. Since the acquisition, bitbucket has come a long way in a short space of time, and I'm sure they're clawing back some ma
