Good points Robert, but you are asking an inherently mean group of folks to be nice. All the points you make are solvable by real conservative principles. But to say Conservatives are anti-Technology and Science is absolutely wrong. We do look at at it differently than you do, we belive in free market driving discovery. You (liberals/socialist) believe it can only be driven by over taxing the market and redistributing the loot to what you decide is a worthy cause. Free markets work, yah you have occasions that take the headlines where a bad person or group of people do something bad, but you get that and at a higher rate by letting underpaid and underequalified goverment employees do it.
McCain and Palin offer a true conservative ticket, one that is inspiring like Regan was. And do not forget that Obama is campaigning on reimplementing the Carter policies of uber taxation and wimpy defense that will lead to more dependance on foriegn oil, agresive attacks by terrorist states and of course the misery index. I was a kid in the 70s and I remember it well and that is why I will never ever be a liberal/socialist. I believe in free markets and unbridled desire improving the state of the country and world.
You are a good guy and you want the same things I want, as an open liberal you just want things differently, through government control. I want it through freedom.

Thanks for sharing the resources. These are some of the things I have personally been looking for. It seems that I do DDD, but have my own vernacular, so it is cool to start putting the accepted terms on my coding techniques.

Great stuff, love the missing Twitter features.

Dave, you make some good points. Liberals tend to do a really good job of telling us what sucks, but generally never offer any solutions other than beating us on the head through goverment control. Look at what Regan and even Kennedy, they told us we could do things. We felt it and look what happened in the 80s. Too bad about Kennedy, before my time, but he could have done great things too. You are dead on accurate about the Clintons and their first term too. As much as you like Obama I think he will be a disaster if elected. He has no really substance and does not seem to care to even try for any.
Good use of the wars in our technical world. You have to listen to the customers to get things done right. Market forces should always determine how things are done. If we want the goverment to make all the descisions for us, then so be it. If we want our freedom and choice to choose how t run our lives then so be it.

Dave, you are discounting yourself and your accomplishments. You are just 52 and have accomplished so much and that is why you have earned enough money to pay for an overpriced health insurange policy. Give yourself some credit man! That is not luck, that is just being smart. The free markets decided what you put your energy into was worthwhile, not some government entity. If we had a liberalized Internet then most likely we would not have RSS.

You guys do realize the driver model in Vista is drastically different that it has been in the past? I would doubt that Steve Jobs has had too many of his iPod engineers stopping to make Vista drivers for an OS he makes no money on. I guess I am also a little perplexed as to why this is a real issue anyway. I can see why a few people out there might need to do a virtual PC type thing on a MAC to test things on a business desktop, but I guess I can not see why a normal user would care to shell out $3-4000 on a piece of hardware and put an OS on it (not that they would even know what that is) that was not built for the hardware. My clients with MACs generally do not even understand basic fundamentals of using a computer in the first place.
