I've had a number of apps stop working whilst updating on the apple platform (either to a new phone 3GS->4 or to a new version of the OS). To be fair they've always been "free" apps that have broken, and not ones I'm terribly sad in losing. But still, it happens.
> And then you push HARD on the straw man: "the biggest virtualization benefit of being able to migrate VMs around during the day without outages."
Whenever anyone speaks about virtualisation, this is usually highlighted as one of the major benefits - the ability of VMs to be moved as needed.
Without it, the other major benefit is the reduction of hardware costs (whilst increasing the scope of downtime), so you might as well not use virtualisation and put all of the services on a standard installed server.
In my university days, I worked in a shop and got caught in something like this - and was pulled up by the manager for letting this go through.
Seems like the guy had been doing it quite regularily through the week, but the sums involved were tiny. He's swapped the sticker for "thermos flask" (met flsk) for "drinks flask" (pla flsk) and saved himself £5 when he came through to me. (oh, restricted characters we love you!)
I quite fairly pointed out that it is a flask, it came up with a flsk on the screen. Of course I didn't elaborate and say that I'd actually turned my mind off as he was probably the 80th customer that day I'd served and all of whom had probably more than 10 items each, and as long as the barcode beeped I didn't really care, so I kept my job at least.
Surely if you grew up, lived and benefitted from a free society, it should be your moral imperative that you return to that society so that others can benefit as you did? Of course, as it's a free "society" you don't have to, and can leave to some other country.
Or maybe, there is just no such thing as society, and we're all individuals looking out for ourselves.

Whenever I've thought of looking for a new job, I've found that the first filter that agencies apply is "IT Certs", more specifically Microsoft certs..
My most direct experience of this was when a recruiter rang me up saying that I was ideal for the job, had the right experience, the right skill sets, worked in the right industry etc. I do have qualifications (ie intials after my name), he asked about what there were and the converstaion went like this
Him "So, it's not an MCSE?" Me "No, its chartered professional qualifictaion, more along the lines of a Masters degree" Him "So not from microsoft?" Me "No, not from microsoft" Him "Ah, I'll get back to you"
I didn't hear anything back...
Agencies, and I then assume HR departments ask for MCSEs etc to filter out, well everyone that doesn't have them, the assumption seemingly being that you're wasting their time if you don't.
You are correct, I seem to have missed "Or haven't you noticed the increasing trend where families need to have both parents, and sometimes the kids, chipping in to buy a house?" which you put in your orginal comment, for that I apologise.
Culturally Germany does have a minimum wage, but it's generally done by collective agreements rather than as a statutory minimum wage, and those agreements are enforceable by law. Italy also uses collective agreements, so if you're ignoring Germany then you should be ignoring Italy too. Irelands minimum wage is fairly low - comparible to the the Netherlands and UKs, so if you're not adding those then you need to take Ireland off that list. Slovakias minimum wage is about 2/3 of Ireland, UK, Holland etc, so you're new list should be
Of course, one thing you miss is that in the 1970s, most households had a single wage. Since then, dual wage households have grown dramatically, so in theory a dual wage household will be better off as with an average comibined wage of 70,000 the house costs 3.3 times what a person made.
The main thing though, is how is your average wage calculated? Is it the mean then it will be skewed upwards, So, you possibly need to discount the top 10% of earners. to get a fairer refelction of what the average wage is.
I perosnally think we all orginally lived on Venus, and then because of all our gas guzzling cars screwed the atmosphere, the socialist governernment, Illuminiati, Masons and United Nations got together, put us all to sleep, then transferred us over to earth, which they had terraformed to be the same as Venus. Thats the real reason that there have been few probes sent to Venus, we'd see all of the cities and everything.
They're currently looking at Mars to do the same thing.
In theory, this should have been a great system from the patient and doctor point of view. All of our patient notes would have been available when needed - if we went to one hosiptal for a RTA, then later to another for a different issue, the consultant/dr would know about the RTA.
If you've moved around a lot, you could be on may different system - local GPs, local hospitals, local clinics, and no central store of your notes.
In practice, it turned into a massive system, far bigger than its orginal scope, with every vested interest having or making a change, it was replacing systems that may have been in production and continual development for 25+ years, and each hospital had its own policies and procedures that had to be accomodated (or not as the case may have been). The baby and the bathwater was being thrown out.
Possibly, all it really needed was for some sort of mandated electronic transfer protocol between hospitals/note keepers and a global catalogue of where a user has notes stored.
The local system builders/in house developers would have competed the compatibility and that would have been done.

Don't worry, in a few years a new company will come along, with a great new product that will allow you to cheaply pull the information back into your organisation, handing power back to users, distributing access and design.
This will then be followed by a period of great excitement, with some people making themselves rich, but then that company will become large and bloated, creating more and more bloated systems, and then we'll be sending our information back out to a "central" system.
Interetingly, there was a report to be published about the trial, but a statistic was leaked that there were more RTA involving children with the darker mornings - this pulled forward the vote in the commons to be fore the report was published, and the change was rejected.
When the report was published, it did show an increase in the amount of RTA in the morning involving children, but there was also less accidents in the evening - infact there was a larger reduction in the evening accidents than the increases in morning accidents. The momentum for the change had been lost...
So the knee jerk reaction by MPs to a percived danger, actually made that danger worse. Good job nothing like that happen any more, knee jerk reactions to perceived problems.
It's all to do with importation - the UK and EU have recently (over the last 10 years) been doing this.
Basically, Trademark and Copyright prevent the importation of anything. It's specifically the grey market that is being "crushed".
Individuals can buy anything they like, and bring it in and sell it as "2nd hand", thats not what this is about.
It's about importers importing with out the permissions of the trademark/copyright owner. They may have bought the item legiteimately from another supplier but that doesn't matter.

Isn't the US pretty much the same size as "the whole of Europe"?
Indeed, wouldn't it be better to comapre the GDP of EU vs the US, rather than individual ecomomies?
There is also a truely comprehensive system of education, rather than a mishmash of parental choice, selection by ability and lottery.
