Plus 85 other rules. Yes, really - check the specification. There mere fact that it has attributes AND every tag can contain tags gives you two orthogonal and redundant data models. There are two character encodings, three character/data representations, four syntactically distinct data models... and only about four parsers that can claim to be compliant or close to compliant with the specification. Yes, complex.
Allow me to repeate my objection to your frigging nonsense:
So what? Toolkit writer worries about this shit. User does not. XML is simple.
But when you get to the actual syntax, all hell breaks loose. A parser must understand UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoding (the latter in big endian or little endian format).
Apparently, you do not give a flying fuck about people who do not use American English and ASCII encoding.
Well, the majority of world population does care about these issues and uses different character sets. If it means a bit more trouble for american programmers - I would say, fuck them lazy fucks.
Of course - if you ever had to fit in internationalization support into your wondercode, starting on yacc and proceeding into char* haven, then you frigging deserve it.
I would rather have the toolkit writer have a few grey hairs..
In case you did not noticed - server A is Weblogic, server B is Websphere.
While comparison with custom coded.Net is a load of donkey shit indeed, comparison between A and B is entirely valid (same code, same optimization and tuning).
That what bugs me: why in the fucking world anybody pays full tuition in Ivy league on loan?
The good thing about these top schools - if you have brains, scholarships are available. The rest is paid by rich kids. Declare physics major, for chris sake - if you got brains, you will get cash, almost everybody on such a department does.. And you WILL find a decent job
I got my Ph.D. from the best one - and was getting $26K a year scholarship plus subsidized housing, NOT shelling it out.
College debt? What college debt?
Got brains?

He meant social security money - which are yours, and which you will not see.
It does piss anybody off to shell out 7.5% of my first 80K or something (plus another 7.5% hidden) to pay for somebody who rigged the political system the right way, and to realise that he wouldnt see any of this money when the time comes.. So he has to shell out another 10% for my own personal Social Security..
Actually - I found that adding a list of hobbies to my resume did help me quite a bit.. Takes attention away from stupid trick question, and does not provoke rude behaviour toward me..
One-half the "programmers" will actually be non-programmers, is what I think will happen.
..and they actually may be the most needed people on the job.
Spitting out lines of code for standard short problem is not the only skill needed.
What %% of your time is spent debugging? Writing design docs? Understanding requirements? Communicating to other team members on common issues?
All of these and more are not tested by a simple snippet of code.
Education does not make you an expert, it gives you enough to START doing what it is you want to do.
Education does not make you a professional.. it lays groundwork.
..and you do not have good anough START, or nave poor enough groundwork - it comes back many years later and bites you in the ass. Hard.
Most important thing I ever learned - is how to learn.

Not that it matters if they produce "zero" code after 6 month. In 90% of all programming projects, given a good design and management, less people == more results.
Not sure what it proves, but its a fact - on my Ph.D. graduation from a top program in the country, more then half of those graduating were foreighn students. Russia, China.. little bit of others It is definitely MORE expensive for the university to hire foreign Ph.D. students - no fellowships for them, only university funds. They also make lousy TAs - for paying undergrads. I got my money from a U.S. government agency - thank you Uncle Sam - -that was your tax dollars.. Guess our qualifications outweighted that. I am definitely paid more then most locals, and company wants to keep me around, and I do not see a line of engineers who can do my job - even now - outside the office.. BUt if I am not welcome - fine - I always wanted to try Australia - or maybe Germany.. Wonder what Saddam will pay? Yeah, I can do nukes;-)
They already manadated GPS use in our cell-phones. [listening to silence]... Do I hear any outcries? No.
Americans will swallow this just like pervasive credit history control, mandatory live long ID numbers (hello, Soviet Union), "Under GOD!" daily pledges (fuck those atheists), Id check, face recognition, mandatory 10-day address registration for all non-citizens.. and list goes on and on.. Losers.
Wavelet compression, when you boil down the math, is solving a least-squares problem Huh? Wavelet compression is applying a multi-scale threshhold filter. It happens to filter out gaussian noise, preserving "edges".. but it is not a least-square problem in its core.. IIRC, and I think I do..
One can not patent mathematical formula, but can patent usage of such formula. So a patent can be "Using wavelet denoising algorithm, for the purpose of...".. Nice that good scientists gave us the alogorithm. NO we make money from applying it. Greedy dumb lawer/MBA fucks.
that's not news, it's what they are best at doing...
No shit its not news. First iteration of its particular PGA radar was deployed about 20 years ago.
The news are better digitacl filtering algorithms only recently developed in response to the "stealth" threat
The future of beating the stealth technology is separating the transmitter and receiver. Stealth does not reflect directly back at you. It reflects all right to the side. Previously they could not recombine/sync the signals. Once its done - and the technology spreads wide enough - stealth will be useless strategically. It will still be useful tactically - against aircraft carried and small tactical systems. Limits the range, and in F22 and JSF it does not diminish other capabilities too much.
It actually is useless stategically now. B52 performance in Afganistan shows they are more then sufficient - while nobody is planning bomb runs against Russia or anybody else, who can repeal B52s..
Latest S300 radar sees f117 clear as day and b2 almost as well. It gets enough reflection off the turbulent air - and modern filtering algorithms are much smarter then analog cut-off used in earlier systems (like the ones Iraq and friends have deployed).
And yeah - it's antenna does not revolve in a circle - it is a phased grid array. It does not have to move to scan target. It actually delays scanning, when it has aquired a target - a continues to beam in its direction for a while, it turns itself off in the direction of jamming bots.
I do not think B-2 will try to drop anything over a modern S300 site.. Even some tactical systems can get it.
2. Bullshit. You never know all the effects that your change may cause. Make you own branch, synch it to the trunk - and let architects and the build team integrate it on their own pace. Good programmers are not arrogant. 4. Yup. I allocate 60% of my time for design and analysis. It turns out better then people who code 90% of the time.
UML and other modelling fads I would not lump all modeling tools into FAD category. 65-page design is excessive - couple clear diagrams, in whatever standard you like will make wonders in your OWN understanding, of what you are about to write, allow you to communicate clearly with other team members. Visualizing is good.
Formal checkins. Make you own branch and go butt nutty in it. Sync to the trunk often. Let them review your changes and integrate on their own pace.
Code review. Once again - having anybody - even inferior programmer to look over your code will do wonders to your own understanding and skills. I am a good coder, and I beg other people to review and comment. The more I ask - the less problems they find - I am getting better. I hope you do not assume that you have no way to improve - otherwise: you are a big fat liar. My goal is to write code so clear that they can understand what and how it does without my help.
Large, geographically concentrated development teams. That one I would agree. Adding people slows everything down. Full team should not be above 20 engineers, and some QA - above that, keep splitting projects. If you think it is not possible - you are a lousy architect.
..I guess it would take a couple days to code "review" feature in. Once you download a file from a particular client, you can remotely vote, for its quality (host will accept votes from clients that downloaded, probably by supplyoing a cookie with each session, that is kept on the host for some time)
Records that are getting many negative votes will automatically "quaranteened" and taken off downloads. This will not stop malicious hosts, but will slow down spreading of corrupted files..
Should I patent this?;)

I did not know SQL. Never did. Did not put it on my resume.
Had a project requiring implementing DB access. I got a book. By the end of the day had it working just fine.. with all fluff and what not.
Our DB guru was reviewing it a bit later and said it was one of the cleanest made solutions he have seen. Note: it was reviewed.
My point being: yeah, when you need an exact narrow skill, or just to weed out liars - sure, that approach works fine.
You will not find people who can learn new stuff, and apply it sucessfully, that way. You will be stuck with jacks of one trade.
On my book - #1 skill is the ability to learn.
Education does not make you a professional.. it lays groundwork.
