More productive at WHAT?
Ironic that this article is on the same front page as the 1995 "buy a computer with 8 MB of RAM" article. Now my workstation has 8 GB of RAM. Am I running code that is 1024x better than it was in 1995, courtesy of more productive programmers? Or, did a handful of chimps take their IDEs and create such bloated crap that I need 8GB of RAM to run it?
Nothing wrong with the cable. Any decent GPS time source has a means to correct for the propagation time from the receiver to the computer it's attached to. They just forgot to account for it.
Remember that culturally, the US no longer wants to be a special, leading country. The current administration has stated it, and is taking steps to ensure it.

People will always pirate software. The trick is for you to make it worth their while to pay - support, features, bug fixes, etc. Look into some of the FLEX licensing code (IIRC Macrovision) where you can assign specific keys. I'm sure that's also crackable, but you're raising the bar. Consider a cheapware version too.
Are you kidding? The "project managers" are the reason he's in this mess. You have non IT people dictating design, promising deliverables to other, higher-up, non IT people, and you wonder why your projects fail?
Why do those who have not, get to vote on the distribution of wealth from those who have? If you're not a property owner, how much skin in the game do you really have? If you can't pass a basic civics test, how are you qualified to vote?
Christ - I've heard enough chimps in LARGE_US_BANK where I work throw the word "forensic" around to the point where it has become meaningless, and this just proves it. They probably just mounted the thumbdrive and read some files on it.
Does ANYONE on Slashdot know that this guy is an ex-pro baseball player? I suspect not, judging from the whiff of mom's basement coming from the early posts.

Don't you mean employees of ANY public service?
All of us living now are unaffected by this. Why does anyone care if its true or not?
Let them wallow in their own failure.

Another example of how the US government is trying to shield people from the consequences of their actions.

Of course this didn't work unless you chmoded /dev/cdrom appropriately. I think there was a kernel patch required.

You sound liberal.
The problem is that their schedule is printed in all these weird squiggly characters. No wonder nobody can read it !

PC LOAD LETTER ?! What the hell does that mean?
Especially once we've given them all the designs.

If you're an "old school developer" you use vi, in a telnet window. You don't get 'help' from an IDE.

Whats the hubub over fancy document formats which reinvent the wheel. Compressed postscript is fine.
Anything with the "NetIQ" brand on it is a piece of shit.
If you're not USian, you don't count.

Nice subtle slashvertisement for Elance.

What I want to know is how the increase in Arctic freshwater caused a CME. After all, it did come first. That's how it works, right?
