You don't have a programmer problem. You have a management problem. A good manager would have gotten rid of the underperformers a long time ago. On the other hand, there's always the possibility these "underperformers" are doing stuff you don't really understand, and are worth their salaries.
What's not to "buy" ? Insurance companies take money from all clients and distribute it to clients who are covered and get medical care. Nearly 100% of the cost of more-than-trivial medical transactions is "passed on to other clients".
Really? Insurance companies distribute money to clients? In my experience they're in the business of denying claims.
Guns? Why, those should be illegal! But I'm going to need some armed guards for myself, of course.
So, like every other country in the world that has laws limiting certain things. Or do you believe every citizen should have a Constitutional right to own their own nuclear arsenal?
It would be reversible...if the money stayed in the destination account.
That rather depends on the jurisdiction where the bank's located. In England & Wales it's certainly not the case that you can automatically issue an "undo".
If the money was held in Zurich, all you'd need to do is issue a Ctrl+Z.

> only million cpu's, isn't that a few orders of magnitude to small to emulate a human brain anyways, which has hundreds of billions of neurons?
Yup, this "simulation" is off by an order of magnitudes.
The brain is estimated to have 86 Billion Neurons; the number of connections even higher.
So, then it's a simulation of several hundred Congressman's brains?

You can pay me $x now, or you can pay me n * $x later (where n=1 initially, and increases geometrically the longer you wait).

If we had the Canadian system, the hearing aids would only amplify the sound "eh".
Slashdot is a computer blog, not a social network.
Semantics.
Btw, don't bombs cost more than $42 to make? A lot more?
Obviously they were crowdfunding.
It goes back farther than Playboy.
But, but, but... It must've at some point... The benevolent and omniscient government officials kept telling us, that butter is evil.
Obviously the government is in the pocket of Big Oil.
I'm sure they'll just come from the FBI.
Or the NYPD. I hear they're replacing Stop and Frisk with Stop and Waterboard.
It's okay, Bloomberg restricted them to using a maximum of 16 oz of water at a time.
Its code of conduct simply forbids bugs. Awesome.
When the NASA engineer stated that "failure is not an option", he was really talking to the computers.
Yes. This is explained in this Quora answer.
Cloning a fingerprint is just about as easy as cloning credit cards. So after you grate your fingers you can just print out some else's.
With a...wait for it...fingerPRINTer?
The Google reviews of this "school" are awesome.
The queen of "laws for thee, but not for me."
Guns? Why, those should be illegal! But I'm going to need some armed guards for myself, of course.

And single parents should get double the time off since they are acting as both father and mother!
While you're at it: different pay rates for enabling JS, Flash and whatever else is suspect.
There's no amount of money you could pay me to enable Flash.
That rather depends on the jurisdiction where the bank's located. In England & Wales it's certainly not the case that you can automatically issue an "undo".

Names in cultures without written language will never be able to be rendered in Unicode unless you transliterate them.
I wonder what watchlist my FSM car emblem has gotten me on. Probably some Vatican cabal.
If only he had been operating a service which obscured the identity and origin of its users, he would not have been caught.
The Club, and other physical devices, have always been and will always be a good belt and suspenders.
Now that they've published Snowden's email in the clear, he's gonna get spammed big time.
If she pulled him over, how did the police ever get her name and address?
