You can't "defend" your code, period. Not front-end code at least. Go ahead and minify and obfuscate it all you want (or add domain or date protections) ... anyone with minimal knowledge and a little effort will walk right around that in no time...
Firstly, im not saying this to be a dick... but it sounds dickish... sorry.
What it comes down to, is that its foolish to rely on a business that lives entirely in someone else's garden... if google play just shut down tomorrow (i know, not likely, but you never know with the way patent trolls are these days) then you'd be just as screwed... if you base your livelihood on a business you own that is in and of itself reliant on a third party, you're not going to have much stability.
Because negativity is a bane on scientific progress.
People who claim something can't be done are foolish. Claiming a negative - claiming something you can't prove - is anti-intellectual at best, downright ignorant at worst.
There is no need to claim something can't be done. It serves absolutely no purpose. The only possible outcome that negativity can have is to stop someone from trying, when really - thats the heart of scientific discovery. We can't fly, we can't break the sound barrier, we can't we can't we can't.
History is full of people who claim we can't. But history forgets those people, and remembers the ones who actually did.
Watch them come to work, note the care they drive. Follow them home, note the house they live in. I've yet to see a dr in the US come to work in a civic, or live in a modest house...
address bar of [? alignlib.py] searches for alignlib.py ... not sure if this is intentional or just htat google drops special chars, but it works 100% of the time most of the time.
This kind of thing is just unnacceptable in a free nation.
We're not peons to be treated like animals. "Get on the fucking ground", "Don't you fucking move" ... these aren't the commands of an officer sworn to protect the citizens, these are the commands of a power-driven, egomaniacal, paramilitary police force who continue to abuse their power and assault private citizens without due cause and without repercussion. A phone call does not warrant that response.
Police are thugs, SWAT is worse. Its a shame we've come to this as a country, and nobody seems to care.
Most people would be happy if he pushed the code up unchanged but with a new version number just so they can feel like the project is fresh again... its not about features, its about having a shiny new version number to look at... like most software.
IMO, im still using ST2, because frankly 3 didnt bring enough new to the table...
Thats a very, frankly, stupid comment. And short sided.
MJ has a HUGE group of people who use it medicinally. My wife can not eat or drink without it, due to chronic nausea to the point that without it, she throws up every 20 minutes. Medicine like Zofram barely help even at max dose, which carries with it other side effects.
Calling everyone who smokes stoners is the equivalent of calling everyone who drinks a glass of wine an alcoholic. I regularly enjoy MJ - and I think it would be short-sided to consider me a stoner, considering im a successful father of 2 with a great salary and a happy family.
The good news is - the "minority" you speak of is people like you... the outdated mentality is in the minority now, with the majority of the country FOR legalization - even in traditionally red states like TX.
benadryl does. And nyquill. Allegra and claritin can as well (though to a lesser degree). thats not mentioning the 100s of prescription drugs that do. None of them need a roadside test, why does MJ?
I get that... its a legitimate concern, as I said. However, its no more legitimate than the other 100s of prescription drugs that can cause drowsiness or slowed reaction time. Or driving with the flu, or driving tired.
Thats the point - there are literally 100s of other ways to be just as (if not more) impaired while driving and be completely legal. We don't parade those issues around (namely because the big pharma companies would like people to not realize just how impairing their products are)
The difference is that there is a large enough group opposed to legalization that they make this issue a primary one in their fight against legalization and blow it vastly out of proportion to the actual scale of the problem.
The problem is the studies that show that MJ use is far less of an impact on driving than talking on a phone... The paranoia over stoned drivers is a little high (no pun intended)
Not saying it should be ignored as an issue all together, but it seems to be the last issue the opposition can attach itself to and sound sane, and its getting a little carried away.
