My current car is a ford - a mondeo - and I'm perfectly happy with it, power-wise and l/100km-wise as well. My next car will also be a mondeo (if we get them in SA again).
You may be correct. My kid is, after all only 4-ish, so when he tells other kids that his daddy is the best daddy in the world, no one actually tries to harm him. Will see how it goes when he's 8:-)

I'm working on a java project now. It will run on a jvm, that will run on a virtualised system, that will run on a cluster. The levels of indirection between actual code and hardware is mind-boggling, and I don't even get the abstraction of common lisp.
This "simplistic language" project needs maven to pull in the libraries (hence no reproducability or repeatability), for a framework (that does message passing) that runs in a framework (that does network and protocol comms), that runs on the jvm, that runs on the virtualised machine, that runs on the cluster. The application uses XML for it's run-time configuration (because that's how the framework and the other framework is configured), and numerous pom.xml files to build (because the frameworks use it).
A simple message-passing system that does nothing but run hooks for the various types of messages it may receive has had me scratching my head for the last week, as *something* has changed (not the code, thank god for svn) in all of this that has introduced a bug.
Fuck it - gimme lisp any day of the week - these simplistic languages need a hairy amount of complexity from the programmers end to simply work properly.

You can have intelligence in the lack of knowledge, GIGO notwithstanding. Given a set of premises, and taking a logical decision on those premises does not in any make it a bad decision if one of those premises are wrong. The garbage that comes out is at least correct garbage.
Baseball has been played for 150 or so years,and has been studied to death by both the finest minds in sports and some of the best athletes, in real life.
The finest minds in sports and some of the best athletes in real-life probably would have trouble thinking their way out of a paper bag.
I backed over my corporate Dell latitude d830, and after replacing a cracked screen and the hdd, it works perfectly. Granted, it was in a decent carry case (which in turn was well-cushioned with several printouts of legal writs), but I am very very impressed by their corporate stuff thus far.
OTOH, their inspiron crap goes wonky if you even look at it funny. Hard to believe that the same company produced both laptops.
Before long we're going to need complete isolation suits before we can commit a crime.
Personally, I'm not committing any crimes until I can remote-pilot a bot from very far away. And afterward, make sure the bot is torn into pieces, and throw every piece into a fire.
If you can make employees with children less of a liaibility than those without, then the whole problem goes away. Unfortunately, this isn't easy - employees with children will bring, on average, less value than similar employees without children.
What exactly were you expecting? They aren't democratic about this, and they have never pretended to be - whining about their policy now is foolish, you should have rather just developed for a different platform.
I suppose it's too much to ask if you learned your lesson - for all I know you're busy working on another iApp instead of just competing on an even playing field on a different mobile platform.
If the prosecutor is using the tape as evidence of the crime the defense attorney has full access to a copy of the tape before the trial.
Which is precisely why those tapes never see the light of day - the prosecutor knows full well that bringing in actual evidence might exonerate the accused while implicating the arresting officer. Having the suspect already have a partial video forces the prosecutor to bring in the entire tape - a good thing

Yeah, then they would be ... like .. civil engineers :-)

I'd rather die quietly in my sleep, like my grandfather, than screaming in fear, like the people in his car
"Well, I could attack and kill evil people in far off lands. Heroine dealers, warlords, terrorists, etc."
So, how much does one heroine go for anyway? ;-)
At most you only need to rewrite the graphics and maybe some game logic,
Wait, what? If you're rewriting the graphics and the game logic, you're still rewriting the game in the large, no?
I mean, what else is there? Sound, input perhaps. Not much else other than artwork (which would not be rewritten even in the case of a rewrite)
If anyone were serious about economy they'd be buying cars with small displacements and ideally running on diesel
You can't have both. Diesel engines below roughly 1.8l tend to be very inefficient. 2.0l - 2.2l seems a sweet spot.
Parent means that the hammer was a part of something bigger. That's what my reading comprehension got out of it anyway.

There is more reason to spy on your friends than your enemies.

We (those with children) deal with it.
Ah, the famous "glenn-beck" argument. Very convincing indeed.
