Refactoring is inevitable. If you work with me, I expect you to write unit tests to show that you've thought about the behavior at boundary conditions, documented those behaviors, and tested those behaviors. When refactoring becomes necessary, the fact that you've moved on to another job become less of an issue.
If you can't do this, and you're not some kind of knuth-like super-coder, I really don't want to work with you. You make my job harder. Unit testing is really not that hard. The idea that if you can't do 100% coverage then the activity is worthless is a fallacy.
BTW, I think you an I agree - this is more directed at the grandparent.
You high school economics teacher uses semantic arguments to nullify commonly used meanings of words. Probably why said teacher is a high school teacher and not the godhead of economics. My dad said bunch of pithy shit too, but that doesn't invalidate the worth of wisdom.
The standard library rocks for some things - C++ would be much diminished without it. Of course, those who don't understand it are also likely to not understand other container libraries (in C or whatever) and also likely to try to code up their own containers and make jillions of mistakes doing so. The example code above is great because it shows that the person complaining would likely have tons of problems with C and just understanding his or her tools in general.
Try to pay attention. They're saying the SCSI port is dead,
You try to pay attention. What everyone else is saying here is that there is no such thing as "The SCSI port". The original article was quite stupid and I don't know why such lengths are extended to defend it.
That only interests a small segment of the audiophile population, which is itself a small segment of the consumer population in general.
... which is only a small segment of all of humanity, which is only a small segment of the Animal kingdom, which is only a small segment of living things, which is only a small segment of baryonic matter, which is only a small segment of all matter.
It seems to me that money is always backed by debt, even when it is backed by gold or other material standards or when it is backed by the force or stability of a government. Gold, too, is not intrinsically worth something. The debt that backs money of all types is labor debt. Gold standard people are out of touch with social mechanics.

Of course it works fine. SATA is used in many SAN and NAS applications as well. I never said SATA is unacceptable in the enterprise. It's just the SATA v. SAN comparison made by the GP that is stupid. DAS works fine for some uses too, like the example you bring up, but the key to the google architecture probably has more to do with scaling and redundancy at a higher level than at the storage layer. I don't know, I've never seen it.
iSCSI and FC are SAN, SATA is DAS. Apples and crab-apples If you can get by with DAS, then fine, but don't pretend like DAS can substitute for SAN for enterprise uses.
I guess. Duplicitous or deceitful seem like a better adjective for what you describe, but I must admit that I haven't looked up the word 'calculating' in the dictionary. Just curious that the word would have that kind of meaning, perhaps ironic on this forum.
Every serious contender to the presidency is there through willful, dedicated positioning occurring over many years. Your 'ummm' response isn't one. Your answer is basically I could know by being you and having your opinions. Tell me an objective way to take, say, the voting record of McCain and Clinton and determine which one is more power hungry. Certainly there is a particular vote you could pick out, or some measureable pattern.
I'm not interested in your conversation so much as exploring how you think you can rationalize your personal and apparent distaste for Clinton in a pretendingly-objective way. Like your list of NY senator to President transitions, you seem to present something concrete: "hunger for power" and but it's really just smoke. Where is your substance?
Isn't a central doctrine of Christianity the claim that all humans are full of sin, sinners to the core, guilty of sin before even being born, incapable of avoiding sin and in fact requiring sin and being saved in order to taste of the ultimate prize of heaven? Hate is a sin, apparently not one of the big 10 but perhaps one of the newer sins-for-dummies (maybe we can get a Florida Supreme Court ruling), so I don't see how you can claim that someone that claims to be a Christian is not a Christian only because they have sinned and require forgiveness.

Coincidently, written records go back to ~5000-6000 years ago, and the world is a red state.
How do you figure? All estimates for the likelihood of life arising in the universe are hogwash.

Separation of state and speech? Separation of state and assembly? You may be the first person ever to claim such a ridiculous thing. No easy feat.
Why stop, you were doing so well.

Your child will hate homosexuals and love model railroading. These things skip a generation.
Hmm, actually it was about 1992-93. Memory goes with age.
I ran a X11 CAD program over the network (10M/s) back in about 1991 and it was completely usable. What do you mean by "relatively recently"?
Can't you people read?
You seem to be confused that I am confused. Not once did I bring up NAS. Re-read the GP post.

a) someone that is "so hungry for power that can taste it"
and
b) someone who wants to be president and makes career decisions toward that goal?
Maybe we should vote for the candidate that wants to be the president the least? Jeez, what have you been sniffing?
Why is "calculating" a derogatory adjective?
Thank you south park for pointing out what has occurred to every 10 year old, preacher, religious parent, and drunk pontificator in the last 95 years.
Except for the ones that are: skiing, skating, bob-sled, shooting, archery, boats, cycling, etc, etc., etc.
Yeah, pedantry aside, I get what you're saying wrt running events.
