What he's saying that is that no one is filing a complaint or investigating it.
The camera is all there is.
A similar example would be if a cop pulled you over for speeding, you fought it and they used a speed camera in court to prove you were indeed speeding.
They're basically just a low res monitor... or a highly secretive way to watch porn without anyone knowing.
If you're looking for stereoscopic support, that's up to your display driver manufacturer. Nvidia's stereoscopic mode barely works on Windows, let alone on Linux.
You make a false assumption with your title. Programmers aren't necessarily managers, but to manage a programming project, the manager HAS to be a programmer and a manager. This is a common mistake many people make, it's a popular meme that "with the right management skills, you can manage anything." But it's simply not the case. Look at Big 3 as a great example. They've been run by accountants/manager types for years and look where they've gotten.
Look at any company that got rid of the product guys and replaced them with management guys. It almost guarantees poor products, leading to decline sales and bankruptcy.
Ever heard of Apple? Look what happened when a pure manager took over there.... they tanked until Steve Jobs took over. Or hey, what about Microsoft? Oh right, since Steve Ballmer took over, Microsoft's marketshare has eroded to less than 90%.
I could go on, but I think you've realized your mistake already.
Shucks, did the cold reality of my words damage your world view?
It used to be that to be "in charge," it was because you had the experience in the field and knew the business/process better than anyone else. That's why you were in charge. Not because you kissed the right ass and took specific "management" classes in school.
If so, I am eternally sorry.
After all, I don't want my wittle csartanis bear getting his feelings hurt on Slashdot.
You ARE Bill Lumbergh. You aren't going to fool most of these guys into believing otherwise. Your best bet is to stay the fuck out of the way and order things when things need to be ordered.
Remember, you are basically a glorified secretary. You don't actually DO anything. So don't forget that and get them coffee when they ask for it.
No, Macs are designed by programmers like every other OS.
The difference is: Mac OSX programmers have a very angry man in a black turtle neck furiously yelling at them as they develop new features. This "turtle necked fire," so to speak, is what drives the high quality components of the modern Mac operating environment.
It's a bit like a Katana forged by a master craftsman.
Linux has come a long way in three years. The desktop has gotten quite polished and nice, especially the "just works" variants (Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, etc).
The worst is over in Iraq. Sorry, if that hurts your anarchofreedomunist leanings.
Saddam wasn't replaced with nothing. Also, they've hired back and trained many of the people in the military that were let go. Iraq has an army. Iraq has a government. Hell, Iraq's government is already playing hardball with our government, which is a good thing really (or a well placed charade).

Fortunately for Mozilla, Chrome has never "took off."
It's not that great really, more of the same.

Yeah, but you can piss off your customers because they may run into the same countermeasures the pirates run into.
See every anti-piracy system ever invented.
lol, this is probably the funniest post in the thread.
I didn't realize the original mistake until I had already posted.

Graphics drivers have been continually improving on Linux.
Intel, Nvidia and ATI hardware all works MUCH, MUCH better than it used to.
Not that things are perfect, but it's important to point out that things are getting better all the time.
Well, when it comes to games, Nvidia maintains a large compatibility list with the drivers.
And most of the games have ratings like "kind of works, black blotches on the screen," etc etc
Well, 800x600 is a little different when the screen is literally an inch from your eyeball.
and I own those exact goggles.

The only thing I want in life is a coffee maker that also plays MP3s, you insensitive clod!
To be fair, Steve Jobs is the guy who made all that possible.
We've seen what Apple is without him... bankrupt.
Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
Sorry Jamie, not the case here.

The worlds need geeks. Not management tools.

Wow, posting as an anonymous coward.
You sound like someone with real backbone! You must be in management.

I read that as "We don't like your kind in these pants."
Yeah, just starting to have my coffee.

That sucks for you guys.
Linux has come a long way in three years. The desktop has gotten quite polished and nice, especially the "just works" variants (Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, etc).
I guess it's not that bad though, Macs are okay.
I think someone forgot this part:

Wow, that's really going to bite the PHP developers out there on the ass.
No more multicore goodness for them.
Shucks!
Usually the big thing isn't the degree but the certification (boards, etc).
You may be surprised to find out there are many, many programming certificatons.
Granted, they typically aren't required by the government for work in a specific field.
It would be interesting to see how something like that impacts the software industry.
I love how this post just reiterates the content of my original post.
Yet it's +5 insightful and the original post is -1 Flamebait.
Way to go my little slashtards! Mod away!
"When I get out of school," why would I want to work for a retard that can't handle simple concepts like OOP?
You actually think OO makes it HARDER to figure out a program?
Sounds like you have some learning to do.
