Not sure what made you think I was sensitive, but I already know that you've got less than 20 years experience as a programmer, your in your late 20's, or more likely early 30's.
I feel bad for Steve, as my first computer was a Mac. But this event reinforces my recent decision to start learning Android development....unless the "new" Apple loosens the reigns a bit on iOS dev.
Oh, it's not about how long ago you signed up. Your ID is simply the price you paid ($) for your membership. At least that's what I was told when I joined.
The human factor can never be replaced in warfare. While using drones and programmed systems does reduce casualties and the likelihood of human error, it also fundamentally reduces the chances of success.
You could say the same thing about hand-to-hand combat (bayonets, etc.) VS. guns. A bullet fired from a rifle is simply a "drone", albeit a really fast moving one. Sometimes they miss, and sometimes they don't.
Pilots are on their way out. The only reason they're not essentially a thing-of-the-past right now is their own self-preservation efforts. I think at one point, the AF was measuring toward pilot obsolescence by 2020...that was before Sept. 11 though.
The whole "cyberspace command" idea was the stupidest thing I heard come out of the Pentagon in a long time (I'm an AF veteran). If the AF is smart they'll leverage a whole bunch toward unmanned weapons.
Seriously, if your grammar's this bad, it weakens any arguments you make, in my opinion. I basically agree with your points, but come on; clean up your English.
The Congress has absolutely zero authority to tell them that anyway. The USAF takes orders, as do all branches of the military, only from the President.
LOL! You've never been to Senate hearings with AF brass dripping flop-sweat all over the floor because they're getting their clocks cleaned by the Senators' (legal and justified) grilling.
In any event, you're saying the President is the person behind this (reduced to) $7.6 million debacle? I rest my case.
You all are oblivious to facts such as spending $68,240 to change the capsules' seat colors and pockets. If you think that's justified because these "brass" need to be as comfortable and productive as possible, you're an idiot.
A tired grunt gets himself and maybe his buddies killed.
A tired general gets hundreds or thousands of grunts killed.
Jeez, you don't get it. "A tired grunt"?? Like only _one_ soldier is on the plane? And how about all the other troop transport flights with ALL lower-ranks and NO brass? None of them deserve to be "rested"?
So you're saying that until these comfort capsules are installed, our military stands no chance of success? And so the absence of comfort capsules (and all the lost sleep of the generals) explains why so many have died in our wars? Your logic is really distorted.
You have a very melodramatic concept of how military operations work. These generals are not little babies that need to be treated with kid gloves. They're smart, hearty people who do not need to be pampered in order to think clearly! However, I guess it's human nature to accept pampering if someone's determined to pamper you.

Exactly. Military.
You sound like you're military.
Great. Now I can list "follows best practices of software giants such as Adobe and Apple" on my resume!
Did anyone else read that as "Paintball Pellets As a Tool To Deflect Assholes?"
He's usually found hanging out with his two brothers, Left and Right.
I actually met someone in IT who wrote code using Word...
Is he/she now a "solution architect?"

Wow; not even close (both experience and age).
Oh, and it's "you're."
...I highly doubt you'd walk away laughing.
Your arrogant attitude would get you dismissed from an interview with me even quicker than the "10+ years" BS.
In any case, you'll probably feel different when you've grown up some.
Now that's funny! You're mighty sensitive for such an experienced developer. {eye-roll}
All I know is that if I read "over 10 years experience with .NET" on a resume, I'd laugh them out of the interview. If they got an interview.
From the article's resumes pie chart: experience with .NET -- 10+ years? .NET 1.0 was released in 2002. Hmm.

My first computer: a 1991 Mac Classic II. Still have it, still flip on the back switch to hear the chime...when I'm feeling nostalgic.
They can't even remember who's in the tomb of the unknown soldier!
Tomb of the unknown soldier + MS Access = Invalid Use of Null error.
Hey, I think you're pedantic!
read the subject as 'Digital Watch' hunts?
What you said. Definitely not 'Developer'; that just isn't right.

Anyone else read that as 'Altered Orgasm'?

Since the OP indicated the problem was with _McAfee_, not MS, your post is off-topic.

Your forgetting something about terrorism.

Are you a general?

Oh, and BTW, Congress told the AF NOT to do this.
