I realize you were being facetious, but it's not all that far from reality.-Vurbal (August 15, 2013, 02:48 PM)
Two words: Third party.
More words: Only people can make that happen and they can.-rgdot (August 15, 2013, 03:25 PM)
... everybody was in on it - including the American public itself for their continuing refusal to face yet another "inconvenient truth."

As I posted the original, I have to post the correction link also:
Yes, Gmail users have an expectation of privacy
So, though I know that the day that Google is proven to be evil will come... but that day is not today.-wraith808 (August 14, 2013, 08:09 PM)
What I would really LOVE to do is find some more serious Python coders who are interested in being part of the team creating this. It's a huge project and it's going to need all the help it can get.-mouser (August 12, 2013, 04:12 AM)
I've been watching from the sidelines for a while, and I KNOW that I am very far from prepared to commit in any substantial way.
However, I know that there are always a trillion things to be done, and many of them are quite small and easily manageable by developers that work in an office/nursery.
If you think that you could come up with a list of "mini-mini-projects" (like at the method or class level), I would be interested in helping to solve some when I had time. e.g. A database of cuss words and a filter that doesn't eliminate legitimate words, e.g. remove "ass" but leave "pass" and "assassin". That's just an example. (It takes a while to compile the database, and would be a great project for a non-programmer.)-Renegade (August 12, 2013, 10:47 AM)

This is no longer a matter of whether it's not the United States I and millions of others used to know. This is no longer the United States of America as defined by it's founding documents, period.-Edvard (August 08, 2013, 11:24 PM)
Yes. Isn't it amazing that fewer than 1 in 100 Americans realizes that the U.S. government has been overthrown - not by the communists, or Al Qaeda, or anyone else we've been repeatedly warned about - but by some self-proclaimed "patriots" with the U.S. government itself.
There's a term for what's happened in the United States. But say it softly. Because coup d'état is a foreign term for something that's only supposed to happen in foreign places. Not here.

Clear the room of anyone with sensitive ears. You are about to erupt into a blithering mass of profanity. Better yet, run out on the airport tarmac next to a jet as it might mask the volume of your screams...
Then again, you might just sigh and figure it's all par for the course.-Renegade (August 07, 2013, 09:44 PM)
"Free speech" doesn't mean that you can't say whatever you want... you can... just as long as we know who you are, where you are, and what you're saying...-Renegade (August 07, 2013, 09:15 PM)
That pretty much sums it up....-Tinman57 (August 08, 2013, 08:12 PM)
Bottom line is ... They can force you to show up, they can force you to sit in front of a computer ... But they can't force you to know anything. When applied correctly...ignorance truly is bliss.
The most dangerous game I like to play, is called micromanagement. You push to hard, I start doing exactly what I'm told. There is no warning when the transition happens. Scary part is...regardless of what I know about just how detrimentally dangerous your instructions are...I'll do exactly what I'm told...calmly, dutifully...you'll never see me laughing. I've never lost this game ... Ever.-Stoic Joker (August 08, 2013, 05:39 PM)
Now, what else will qualify as a felonious public performance of a "copyrighted" work, under this?

A cop was patrolling late at night in a well-known spot. He sees a couple in a car with the interior light brightly glowing. The cop carefully approaches the car to get a closer look.
Then he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, knitting. Puzzled by this surprising situation, the cop walks to the car and gently raps on the driver's window.
The young man lowers his window . "Uh, yes, officer?" The cop says: "What are you doing?"
The young man says: "Well, Officer, I'm reading a magazine." Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the cop says: "And her, what is she doing?"
The young man shrugs: "Sir, I believe she's knitting a pullover sweater."
Now, the cop is totally confused. A young couple. Alone, in a car, at night in a Lover's lane....and nothing obscene is happening!
The cop asks: "What's your age, young man?" The young man says, "I'm 22, sir." The cop asks, "And her ... what's her age?"
The young man looks at his watch and replies: "She'll be 18 in 11 minutes."-app103 (August 07, 2013, 05:37 AM)
I've got a few ideas on some acts they can publically perform with that bill.-Stoic Joker (August 07, 2013, 12:03 PM)
