I can&#8217;t remember the context, because, I&#8217;ve not been following the news recently.

As of now, I&#8217;m not too worried about this: I don&#8217;t think that there are people who believe that the Internet was created on the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electric_charge\">seventh day<\/a> or that their <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electromagnetic_radiation\">WiFi connection<\/a> (i.e., electromagnetic waves) was provided there by Jewish and Greek gods (and goddesses).\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"reference\">\n<p><strong>Update 1:<\/strong> This just in: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gnu.org\/philosophy\/javascript-trap.html\">Stallman on JavaScript<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For what it&#8217;s worth: Don&#8217;t bother looking for a complete IDE for Javascript development.
