no, but emacs and vim don't charge 60 bucks per version. I'm not saying this is necessarily negative for ST, but its the point he was making. I frankly think 60 bucks is worth robust support which ST certainly did not have. Anyway

Honestly, I don't see how you justified the decision and agree that it is "incredibly stupid." Am I not allowed to pay someone to set up my antenna? If I do should that involve other cable companies at all? "The entire r

Hm... not so sure why this fact allows them to trample the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.

#1 is quite simply not true. Almost all US citizens I've spoken to feel strongly that we should respect others rights as we want ours to be respected. http://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?ar...

You're an apologist of the worst kind. If the government isn't playing by its own rules, I see no reason to play by them. If stonewalling - which I do NOT concede that he did - helped Snowden get away, that's a victory for th

Drug resistant bacteria (by the articles own numbers) has killed less people per year than if you were to amortize the cost in lives of Germany's very-powerful state (and then you can add the 49-78,000,000 people killed by Mao). I, for

Couldn't agree more! It was both parties and every last one of them should be held accountable regardless of affiliation. The votes are public knowledge! People are too quick to in-fighting over sides. Right now both are doing it and b

both parties played their role and I hope we hold them both accountable. Have you seen any of Kerry's talks on Syria, Libya, etc.? I also don't feel theres been more justification for our actions in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Libya, S
