"learn programming for the sake of programming" Remember the target market is full of people who don't code at all. Just getting their feet wet and realizing they can do it is the important part. The focus can come later and will probably h

You've misunderstood. Bribery and corruption are not protected by the first amendment and I never said they were. Donations are regarded as free speech despite the popular opinion that they are bribes. I worked in Congress and saw a lot of

"A private organization greasing the hand of a politician in order to ram a piece of legislation through, against the wishes of said politician's constituents..." I would like you to prove to me this has ever happened. I am not saying it ev

"...took away all donations..." I do think it is a great idea in theory, but again it violates the First Amendment to take away my ability to support a candidate.

It is freedom of speech. If they could not donate to politicians and support their cause, neither could you. If we took away all donations, only the richest could afford to run. Also, the ability to donate has been classified as speech, thu

Great points. It also implies that this was a cause that was important to him because of the money he received, but does not address the possibility that he was a target of these donations because the donors saw him as someone who agreed wi

"get tried for treason" The First Amendment would disagree with you.

This angers me. It angers me because people don't realize that most often, a politician gets donations from organizations that already know he agrees with their goals. I worked for a politician from a Western State. He got tons of money fro

Some people wouldn't spend $1 to watch a movie or hear a song, but would spend 3 or 4 clicks to torrent it. (FWIW: I have not downloaded Louie CK's video, from him or a torrent site.)

I don't think it proved the internet as a whole has ethics, but it roved you can find good pockets of it.

At initial glance I thought it was too lo-fi. Then I noticed the visual representation. This is nice inspiration, thanks!

I though the final step was a little misleading. It made it seem as you have to enter your email address to get the download. I clicked download without entering my email address and I thought it was going to give me an error saying it need

While I usually don't upgrade to a new version until a few weeks after a distro is updated, it boils down to personal taste more than anything. Honestly, the best answer is make live CDs of both, play with them both and go with the one you

It depends on the office. If you can get the Legislative Assistant, maybe. Chances are you are going to get a Staff Assistant (the lowest paid person in the office) or anintern. Then it is just up to whether or not they take notes and/or ho

When I had a job in Congress, 1,000 form letters pretty much counted as 1 letter. It wasn't hard to send one form letter in response in just 5 minutes to everyone. An individually written letter--not a copy and paste job--gets the most atte

Not sure why people are so interested in who a company will put out of business when they put out a new product. I just care if it is good or not.

Why the extra accessory? I don't understand how what you describe could not be done on the iPad without the extra accessory.
