How does this reduce comprehensibility? In cases where you're doing matrix muls, "a @ b" is way clearer than "a.dot(b)". In other cases, infix "@" won't appear.

The idea that homosexual relationships "have nothing to do with families" is simply laughable.

That's my point.

That's a really interesting definition of "lynching".

You'll forgive me if I find expanding the definition of "marriage" in state and federal law to be a more reasonable approach than having to fight separate battles for each of the 1000+ legal rights and obligations which curre

I was comparing Shepard's murder to the persecution of Eich.

Reasonably legit news reporting on threats would probably contain the word "threat"; that's what I was looking for.

Why would anyone else get threatened?

Or we could just say that Federal law shouldn't engage in sexual discrimination re. legal marriage.

Seriously? That's your dividing line? Incidentally, you mentioned threats to Eich above; I haven't personally seen any but I don't support threats of violence to him. I don't even have particularly strong feelings one wa

What problem is created by OkCupid dissuading users from Firefox, exactly?

Annulment for non-consummation is initiated by a spouse, not by the state. I've been married twice in CA and on neither occasion was I asked about my sex life or child-raising plans.
