Ugh. In light of recent events you can't seriously be using the phrase "tinfoil hat" in good conscience. As to whether you're right or not, I don't know. But please figure out a less lazy way of getting your point

Well, I never said static languages suck :) I really like static typing actually, and have seriously thought about using TypeScript or Dart. I've also got years of professional experience with C++ and AS3 and I love them both. I think

I've got varying degrees of experience (some professional, some not) with C++, C, Objective-C, Java, ActionScript 3. EDIT: Also C# (so many languages, I can't even remember which ones I've used sometimes). I'm also not i

Agreed, maybe that's why fewer tools (if any) exist to do things like programmatic refactoring in JavaScript (does WebStorm do that at all?) That being said, I've found the language a pleasure to work with (aside from browser inco

I don't necessarily disagree with the article, but maybe the solution is a new kind of search. One which understands languages, statically analyzes a source tree, and searches the ASTs for the tokens you're interested in. This wou

> No, screw you. This is how I feel every time I hear someone make excuses for things like this. It's less "screw you, I hate you" and more "screw you, wake the hell up".

Maybe that's the reason you guys and gals are still pretty true to the 2nd amendment, at least relatively.

I don't know what I find more disturbing: the complete and utter disregard for the rule of law by our elected and appointed officials, or the fact that some people find no fault with that.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed the chairwoman's grin when General Alexander talked about operating lawfully. Made me sick. The whole charade made me sick...

A notable quote from our public servants: "The executive order, as you know, is this administration's effort after an attempt to get legislation last year." Let that soak in for a bit.

Yeah. They are all reading from scripts. "This is something that we take looks down at script very seriously." Also, it appears that they were all privy to what each other was going to say before the hearing. " looks down a

Pipe bombs and molotov cocktails are "arms" (just ask the government). Don't confuse "should you" with "do you have the right". Should you have pipe bombs and molotov cocktails? Probably not, as I'm s

I hear this one a lot. "The military is so big, they have missiles, drones, etc etc etc, you could never defeat them in battle." This argument has several flaws: 1. This is just more proof that we (the people) need to hold on to w

Wow, direct assignment is an order of magnitude faster than push (in my test, chrome 27 on windows 7). Can anyone explain why?

I get where you're coming from. And I get the logic of your argument. But history has also shown us, time and again, that when you give one or more people power they will abuse it, even if intentions were originally good (you need only to l

You could, but then you would be limiting personal freedoms for those that aren't part of the problem. In my opinion that flies in the face of everything this country and its constitution stand for. One of these days it will be your favor

That's why we have courts. You take a problem to court when it becomes a problem. You don't punish an entire city for something some people might or even will do.

I know haha. Give me a computer language and I'm good, but those pesky human languages... Who knows, maybe the problem is all in my head. Anyway, thanks so much for the info!

Thanks! I'm generally reserved until I get to know people as well. It's been my experience that most americans really don't fall into that loud/obnoxious/rude/belligerent stereotype that seems to be making the rounds (maybe not this generat
