OK, I don't know anything about US laws, but I really don't understand it. How can a judge forbid mentioning constitution or amendments in court? I thought constitution is the most important part of US law system and it seems this judge overruled it just like that. How could he do this?
I don't know Ruby, but does Benchmark.ms clear buffers and flush cache? If no, the second query has a large advantage, sometimes you can get similar performance improvements without changing query...
It seems to me that using the same device to access banking website and receive SMS Tan is asking for trouble. If your smartphone is compromised you are toast. If you use 2 different devices than the hacker has to compromise both of them to get you.
My bank offers hardware tokens for authentication and I am glad to pay 1-2 additional euros a month for enhanced security.
So, in your comments above you claim that Russia has masterminded a plan to divide and conquer USA using clever propaganda tactics. Here you say Russia doesn't use logic.
So which way do you think it is? Russia is governed by highly intelligent leaders or stupid brutes?
Russia has other reasons not to attack Germany - it makes money by exporting oil and natural gas. Germany is a prime consumer.
What does Arab Spring have to do with it? It is dangerous mostly to some of African dictators and European armed forces in fact supported insurgents in Libya...
Besides, you never addressed my earlier argument that healthy population is vital for national defence.
Man, you really are confused! If a country is serious about national defence then it really needs universal health care, because it needs lots of healthy soldiers. Soviet Russia did a lot to make sure there was at least basic medical care available to everyone for exactly this reason - they needed millions of soldiers!
Finland is doing the right thing when it takes care for it's citizens.
Also, news flash for you: socialism in Russia ended some 20 years ago. Now they have a pretty ruthless form of capitalism in there.
When I read what you have to say about Poland I start to think you are from some kind of alternative universe. It's just bizarre.
> let's assume that the super-rich spend the same or a similar proportion of their income on necessities as everyone else (meaning that they buy more food, more clothing, more housing, etc.).
This is equivalent to saying "let's assume 2+2=5, so you see that 0=1". You need to revise basic economics.
Bullshit. Finland doesn't have US bases on it's territory and all it's security is paid by the country itself. Plus, it always is under direct threat from Russia. Despite of that (or maybe because of that?) it does have a decent universal healthcare system.
Besides, having US base on your territory is not a guaranty of security - South Vietnam had a lot of them and it didn't help them.
