OTH I find the concept of religion to be very political... The boundaries of political discourse are like art or porn. You know it when you see it but one person's+ definition is different to another. + NB I used the word "person&

Publishing the source like this is risk management for a company. By doing this they don't risk having to receive, vet and process 100's of requests for source at a random time - which could use up their legal department's re

To clarify I'm familiar with how Fortran handles generic programming and my frustration with it extends well beyond having to write interface blocks (although these are annoying too). I regard having several versions of functions handl

Looking at this makes me wonder if there is IDE support for handling the way that Fortran does generic functions? So much boilerplate and repetition required...

OK cool. But by downvoting they are exercising free speech. (As an aside I tend to read downvoted comments first because I want to see why they were downvoted. It's more of a highlight than a downvote for me.)

You right to free speech does not include the right for others to disagree with you, for them to not listen to you, or even for them to not like you because of what you say - they are also exercising their own freedom of speech by doing so.

In the UK the key is to make sure that the tenant is Assured Shorthold rather than Assured. Assured tenants can't be evicted (unless they don't pay rent or other similar reasons) and their rent can't be put up unless they agr

Letting someone have possession of property (yes tenants have possession) like this can be a dangerous thing to do in some jurisdictions - they can quickly gain rights to live there and you lose the rights to evict (or increase the rent - w
