A lot of people who vote for Die Linke might either be too young to really have experienced the GDR in full bloom, or are compelled by actual arguments, of which they occasionally feign a few good ones, as politicians usually do. BTW: I m

The way I read it, the GP mocks the idea that a self-regulated system would be unregulated. AFAICT It's at least regulated by convention with regards to the pay out for mining.

Loosing the desire is second place. Excruciatingly, the ability is lost. It's a narcotic, mind numbing indeed. It has negative effects on aspiration, leading to decreased levels of oxygen. Loosing desire is just a way to cope, switchin

The notion of psychedelic drugs is a convolution of terms, not very surprisingly, considering the adverse effects drugs have on the users who'd describe the effects. Huxley used LSD for example. The term you are looking for is trance.

Satire is humorous in mind. Edit: Maybe It is funny if you get the message and I just don't get the kind of dark humor, though.

It's not ad hominem, it's hyperbolic and a reference to the synergy of Distraction and FUD . Of course, legalization makes a difference. Dozens of people will think Weed is not a drug anymore, just like alcohol and tobacco are

not at all, most express different concepts. Of course there is overlap and you can get by using the same concept in different languages and ultimately they boil down to asm, but you need to think differently about the interpreter. It'

Of course C has safety features for the type system, warnings for problematic casts, and structs that can't be cast unless specifically unionized and explicitly ordered to.

In Quake you can also have 5v5, e.g. in Team Deathmatch or Capture the Flag. While it's not as much based on tactics, it sure feels a lot closer to basketball in terms of speed, and one superior player can carry a whole team. And with

It might be nice to read code like this, but what is the big idea? I had to use labview and out of comfort opted for the script engine to implement as much as it could, because the graphical building blocks still represent the same syntax.

C is just an advanced macro-assembler anyway. Would seem painful enough as soon as speed or size became limited. C then was not as optimized as today. Old games used to be written in assembler, now the eeproms are bigger, the compilers are

libruby, if that is the core of the interpreter, weighs 2MB. That's not gonna fly, even with heavy size optimization it would be unbearably slow, even on just a subset.
