All which stands between scala and the enterprise is their refactor full force mentality which means the apis are not entirely stable yet.
So, you think that's a minor issue, easy to fix... We should all code ahead and just wait for the fixes before going productive with our mission-critical systems, right? Good luck getting past SQA with that.
Partly, because of what other answered you. Partly, because there exists a sense of "fairness" in all these racism issues. There's a prevalescent idea that it's less offensive to enlighten a virtue of a minority group than to enlighten a virtue in a majority one. For instance, it's better to say this:
Black people run faster than anyone else
than this:
White people run slower then everyone else
The same principle applies when you say "african americans" instead of "black people". If someone's skin colour is black, I don't find anything offensive in calling them "black". It's just a distinctive characteristic, no different than "tall", "fast", "short" or "better prepared to walk in the sunshine without risking so many sun-exposure related diseases". But the past use of that adjective has very negative meanings, so you replace it by a different expression even if it means the very same thing. The choice of words becomes part of the message itself.
Thus, even if it were true, saying that "white people are demonstrably smarter" would be interpreted at least as a nazi kind of remark.
I live in Argentina. There are treaties about mutual IP protection with the US. That means that (at least in form) we care about US' copyright holders and the US cares about ours. There's an agency called "Legal Software". Thay have te authority to inspect business' PCs, ask you for the licenses of whatever software they find. If you don't have it, they fine you and make you pay for the license. It's like a fiscal audit, in that respect.
This piece of legislation was passed during the 90's when we had a right-winged goverment which was desperate to please the US. Large enterprises have legally bought software, the others mostly not.
Do you want to know something funny? For a lot of tax-related and personal accounting operations you need to download and use software provided by the AFIP - that is an agency equal to US' IRS. That software only works under Windows. Funny, right?
I'm fucking tired of all this "THEY ARE AFTER YOU!!!" so-called research. When I walk down the street, I don't constantly look around me to check if someone is following me, or typing down my movements to design a marketing campaing and slip a note under my door. My crazyass, paranoid, neighbour is, though.
Let me be, motherfuckers. They're NOT out to get me.
'It is essential to understand that the rites of penance require a personal dialogue between penitents and their confessor. It cannot be replaced by a computer application. I must stress to avoid all ambiguity, under no circumstance is it possible to confess by iPhone."
Call me when the Vatican says something in the lines of: "It is essential to understand that the rites of penance require a personal dialogue between penitents and God. It cannot be replaced by talking to another human being. I must stress to avoid all ambiguity, under no circumstance is it possible to confess in a church."
No, he doesn't. Those indie developers are, like it or not, part of the industry. If they're willling to eat rice for a year just because they'd rather code in their parents' basement than at a Nintendo cubicle, that's just fine. Their being inconvenient to Nintendo's sense of status quo is not a valid point. It's rather a symptom that the status quo might be changing. He's trying to say "we are the industry, their not", which is obviously crap.
Walmart sales bread. Does that mean that the little, bakery in the corner is not part of the "bread industry"? And of course you know that what the little bakery sales is fresher and tastier, while Walmart sales tons of shit labeled "bread".
I, for one, would rather have countless small companies such as www.introversion.co.uk than two or three big motherfuckers endlessly delivering the same rehashed games.
Except for the fact that the non-existance of a multiverse is not happening in that universe. By force, it must happen outside that one universe, since it refers to something not contained in it.
Still, your wife sounds like a smart gal. Does she have a hot sister?

Err... if they're bred to be faster, and that scheme succeeds, then yes, they're inherently faster.

We need a Big Brother Moon Edition. Those fuckers are dead weight here on Earth anyway...
Hehe... yeah, that'd be cool. It'd be even cooler if the robot stayed there for 20 years. It'd be uber cool if the guy stayed 20 years.
There surely is a "priceless" joke somewhere; I'm just too lazy to find it.

So by your definition, the Catholic Church is a cult...
All religions are cults, but not all cults are religions. The word "cult" has a negative connotation, though, while the world "religion" hasn't.

Yeah! Listen to Trogro, you all! It's not Xenu's fault, so stop it with the trolling!
Now, now... don't be mean. Don't ruin Christmas! Think of the Children!

What the fuck is that shit? How many millions of years should I wait unit I get a working bicicle? I'll run out of battery!

I'm beginning think this debacle is a load of nonsense, having read a few posts, it looks like the engineer in everyone has turned off for the week.
This is not an engineering question, it's an ethics question. At least it's clear why you're lost.

Bing has effectively stolen the value from my index.
Replace the verb "to index" for "to steal" and viceversa, and you'll find that the concept behind both search engines is the same.
Sir, you're absolutely right.
