This doesn't make any sense, at all. The government does not exist to give you rights, it only exists to take away your rights. Intrinsically, you have the right to do anything you want. Only via government is that legislated.
>You don't go to a market to trade hens for hogs
Sure, I could. People wouldn't trade with me, though, so most likely, I'd have to find a better product with which to trade.
>How would you grow and sell tomatoes without someone saying you own the rights to them? How would you stop someone like a gang from walking in and using force to take over plantations? Forget all that, how would you expand as a society? Have a clean water source? education? Media? Anything that a civilization has without a governing body...
That's the benefit of privatized protection - body guards and security teams and such. Do you think people will purchase protection from a private company if they're arresting and beating people for video taping them? How about how they don't even release dash cams?
The monopoly over protection (government run monopoly in this case) has no incentive, at all, to improve the quality of its service. Absolutely none what so ever.

But since you asked, I was involved in the project to build the soundstage on the moon. The moon is actually *already* colonized, which is why we haven't decided to go back. There's no point, the Greys have already exploited it for all its useful resources. So we struck a deal: we agreed not to interfere in their affairs if they let us make a few videos on the surface of the moon.
Of course, because the surface is covered in roads, buildings, machinery, etc. it wasn't possible to find any open terrain suitable for filming, so we had to fake it. | null | 0 | 1316625479 | False | 0 | c2lj3ss | t3_kmref | null | t1_c2lj3ss | t1_c2lj0bv | null | 1427628790 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | bitchessuck | null | >Bacon does value specialization (commonly called "partial evaluation" for static runtimes). The most impressive benefit of this is that if you pass it an array of size N and a loop over that array (0..N), it can unroll that loop for you automatically. If N is small enough, it will unroll the loop completely.
Loop unrolling is the compiler's job. Most OpenCL compilers support `#pragma unroll` for full or partial unrolling, and that includes both AMD's and NVidia's implementations. It works well for me. I don't see any advantage here.
All the "magic" you are doing might be useful if you only have incredibly dumb compilers, but all important OpenCL implementations are based on LLVM/clang, which is quite good. If you pass literal values and numbers, they'll specialize for these just fine.

Yes.
However you miss several key points.
* Development can't start until you have a language to develop in.
* Tools can't be developed until you have a language to develop for.
* Developing a good language that you'd want to use is not easy.
* It is much more risky to use a language that hasn't ever been used.
Then you miss some of the key aspects of D, it works with most existing C and C++ tools.

Well, sorry to break it to you, but it **is** GPL'ed. LGPL'ed to be exact. Here, let me quote Wikipedia for you:

I guarantee you that if it weren't GPL'ed Apple wouldn't release its source code. You say they would? Gee, I don't know. If I were a big, proprietary company I wouldn't want [to let my competitors use my code](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/package-summary.html), would I? Then why would I **willingly** release something as open source unless I was forced to?

If GPL never existed we wouldn't have Linux. In Linus' own words - [“*Making Linux GPL’d was definitely the best thing I ever did*.”](http://www.gjerull.net/masterthesis/masterthesisse15.html) - he also said in other interview that without GPL Linux wouldn't succeed. And you know what? Much of what we have today [exists because of Linux](http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/red-hat-ceo-google-facebook-owe-it-all-to-linux-open-source/9414), and as Linux wouldn't be what it is today without GPL, I think **you are full of shit**.
