Actually there is a new organization responsible for that, and your "ICUP" is nearly on target. It's still a small group, but the 2 girls involved have a homepage... oops sorry I can't locate it. But Google should be able to help you.
I think most people have to agree that this man -- based on numerous press releases, political events, etc -- was not in full control of his mental faculties. He was not a mentally healthy man. It's unusual that someone in that state became a political leader and was accepted by his people for so long (until the very end), and perhaps if that society were not totalitarian it could not have happened.
The pictures of North Korea are all very sad. I can't imagine living anywhere under those conditions.
Now that he has passed, I'm not sure if I should breathe a sigh of relief or if the problems will just get worse. Sometimes a dictator holds together a group that, divided, are even worse than the dictator. What a horrible thing, but that does not make it less true.
Oh! Now really, you're going to have people praying to it. You should have kept that invisible unicorn to yourself. In 2000 years they will tell of how that unicorn died for our sins and turned sweat into wine, and they will leave books in hotel rooms regarding it.
Well I say bugger them all for doing it, and bugger you for making it up. If we had just gotten to that other one in time, we could've stopped it before the nonsense got out of hand. You see how well that worked...
I can argue that people with more money are often better at making money then poor people, yet we encourage them to give their money to others less fortunate. And even if "regular" people donate their time or efforts, it can have a huge impact.
I say it's a matter of scale, not a matter of who is better at a particular task.
I currently have an open ticket with Red Hat where KVM under RHEL 6 does not work with Windows Server 2008 R2 (timing speeds up / slows down erratically). It does work with RHEL 5. They've been at it over a month and no solution has been found. I've had to keep this VM on the old RHEL when what I need to do is move it off and redo the host as RHEL 6.
If Red Hat would give me RHEV without a Windows controller host (coming any day for the past year-and-a-half) I would be interested in using it, but for now I'm stuck.
If someone ever submitted "select * from " in production code I would immediately reject it. There are too many problems with that to know where to start... it definitely tells me the person who wrote it had no clue and would make me scrutinize the rest of their code more thoroughly in the future.
Please don't tell me you would create a covering index (by definition having all columns) with no "where" clause and workload to analyze (so you can't cluster it correctly). That would be silly and wasteful.
Concepts that could come into play involve number of existing records, desired columns, frequency of query (if you run it once a year I'm probably not adding indexes for it), existing indexes, planned table growth, index selectivity, horizontal and vertical partitioning, etc.
This is why a DBA needs to talk with someone who requests something of this nature. You don't even know what you don't know.
I think the Dems were shocked enough that they were in power, and got so excited, that they went in all different directions, willy-nilly. Sort of like if you give a bunch of people money they temporarily lose their minds.
What they needed to do was calm down enough to plan what needed to be done -- and sometimes you just have to make a decision even if it eventually turns out to be the wrong one. Too nuanced for the American public, people expected overnight change and became disillusioned. Unexpected catastrophes and turmoil stretched an already intellectually-busy president to the point he couldn't focus on one thing, solve it, and move to the next.
Although I've been disappointed in much that has happened, I think Obama has the right heart, it's just that he's panicked and scrambling for a foothold. It's painful to watch.
Yes I would be opposed. Nothing is 100% secure and having all my files disappear would be unacceptable. My files, my ownership, on my machines. That's how I like it.
+1 Insightful. Allowing Microsoft to do this sort of thing would be a horrible mistake. They've shown they can't be trusted too many times. Maybe the kids weren't aware when this stuff started, but I still remember the tricks Microsoft played... and are still playing. Boo on them forever in my book.
Poetic justice would have Apple purchase Microsoft and break it into divisions.
+100 Insightful. I've known a lot of people who believe they can wave a magic wand and have quick turnarounds and awesome software by simply hiring it out to some overseas company. Yes, sometimes it works, but when it doesn't, the reasons outlined by jellomizer are often the cause. A lot of it depends on how unique your requirements are, and how much effort you can put into managing a group located somewhere else.

Yeah, the way they are going they might actually *have* these characters in the set now...
You may vote for ponies, but what you're getting is a kitten or a puppy.
+1 Insightful. And catchy.
They're from the Big Bang.
We can buy / build a lot of stuff for 2 trillion dollars.
I would chip in a few bucks to send Gingrich to the moon.
Please mod +9000 Insightful. "Show me the specs!"
Thank you. I was uninformed. Sadly, I'm not surprised.

+1 Informative. (Flamebait? Really?)
+1 Insightful. Wish things were different, and they're getting worse.
The fact that you believe you could write a similar OS from scratch shows you don't understand the scope of the task.
He said suppliers, not customers.

I've had good luck with simply a microfiber cloth and water when needed. No sprays of any kind.
Wait til someone combines random Facebook pics with this plugin.

Way to show support. Here is an awesome dude, the kind you hope for at your next party.
Go back to sleep, Grandpa. (Sorry guys, ever since he's stopped taking his laxatives regularly he's been cranky...)
