“There are two major kinds of poor in this world: people inherently
incapable of generating value for others, and people who are KEPT from
making any money by oppressive systems that don’t serve their
interests. You don’t have to be a Marxist to see that this second
problem is a major issue for everybody now.”
“In my ever-so-humble opinion, the ‘!!’ idiom is an abomination: it’s far too clever for its own good. First of all, you rarely ever need a real boolean value, and for those times you do, it is better to be explicit in the conversion, by using a ternary operator or full-blown if statement, for instance.”

“Slowly but surely, Obama is owning the cover-up of his predcessors’ [sic] war crimes. But covering up war crimes, refusing to proscute [sic] them, promoting those associated with them, and suppressing evidence of them are themselves violations of Geneva and the UN Convention. So Cheney begins to successfully coopt his successor.”
“You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I’ll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.”

“Our little scale, unfortunately, is logarithmic, in that going from zero to 85 doesn’t take a lot of effort or money, but going from 98.6 to 99.1 by swapping out a $2,600 AC power cable for a $4,000 one becomes a justifiable end. We did exactly that, and I strained to hear any difference at all (more impressions of our test will follow later in the week), but to Fremer, the difference was abundantly clear—not necessarily better with the more expensive cable, but different, a warmer, fuller sound, as Fremer described it.”
“Try mapping SHIFT + Space to the underscore character, and save your underscore finger from unnecessary travel.”
