I already made your point for you...one can't foresee every possible issue. I have been doing this for years and I've never regretted the extra work. In fact, my development tool templates automatically insert entry/exit log statements to streamline the processes.
There is very little downside if you are wise about checking log levels in your code.
With some fore-thought and some discipline an application can be developed with very robust logging techniques. It takes development time, but there is nothing cooler than asking the production guys to turn the logging detail up for a few packages and seeing tons of data in the logs. It's not perfect as you can't log every variable at every moment but it certainly does help.
I understand some shops can't or won't modify the logging levels on production servers.
People know on Slashdot that corporations are NOT pro-free-market one bit! They use IP law and FUDsuits to influence the market and misinform citizens playing in the market.
I consider them conservative because they benefit most from conservative policies focused on reducing taxation and regulation which allow the corps a greater profit margin at the expense of the little guys.
As a citizen I do not drink and drive, but I disagree with the tactics in play. Therefore I simply won't play the game. I do drive late at night some times but I never see anyone who might be driving drunk.
He's running Afghanistan the way the Generals want it, as he advertised. I am pissed that he covered up the documents about our military men torturing people. That wasn't very transparent of him.
But I do like the actions taken for DADT, Iraq, Drugs laws, etc...
I disagree. The government needs to be far far more forth-coming with what our military is doing. If it takes this kind of low-level exposure to convince the policy makers to stop covering up the Marines who gang rape, lying about guys like Pat Tilmann and plain old lying about the intelligence that leads to war...this is what we need.
Don't like it? Don't join the military. If the country really did need to fight these two wars they would have drafted people to do so. They did not draft.
I'm told the government works for the citizens. So I hire the government every 2 or 4 years, and they contract out for police officers. As a stakeholder in this operation I have a right to have a voice in how the laws that are created for me are executed.
Personally, I hope lots of bad things happen to the assholes who thought it would be a good idea to arrest and harass this man.
First off, I'd like to see the source of your numbers and the method by which those numbers were obtained.
Secondly, that argument is so silly it's not even worth responding to. Without government there would be anarchy and then, I am quite sure, the death toll for those regions would be significantly higher. Do you really support a world where there is more killing, but at least the people are doing the killing directly without the need for justice systems?
And then there is which group of citizens benefits the most from that corruption and power. Always an important concept. Who's your favorite third party?
The FCC cannot protect the consumer from X without the power to regulate X. The EPA cannot protect the environment from pollution without the power to regulate/punish/whatever polluters.
You are arguing in a dishonest fashion and, in my opinion, from the childish position that all government is bad.
No private health provider is going to sign that contract. There's no way to squeeze profits out of the VA and still keep level of service at even the current disappointing levels. Your suggestion is a red herring.
First off, no private health care provider is going to submit to such a contract. Even if you found a few, as soon as the penalties start rolling in, they'll quit. Just like they drop coverage on non-profitable private insured.
I don't think you've thought this all the way through.
Our military is still flailing and failing at their mission in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the budget still grows. The addition of private contractors seems to have made them even less efficient.
I think your NASA example is premature. Let us wait until SpaceX has actually done something real with that vehicle.
I definitely fail to see how the VA's mission could be done better by the private sector.

So?

Test environments are essential, but they do require people-time to keep them matching production.

So you're saying that Republicans aren't the more-conservative party of the two?
Your argument is a few years stale.
The corps often take the balls out of regulations, but at least there is SOMETHING there.
I fail to see how (for example) relaxing and not enforcing financial regulations helps the little guy at all.
That's the only venue in which they have a chance. Voting for a 3rd party in a Federal election doesn't seem to make a difference.
I'm thinking we need to wait for local 3rd party politicians to filter upwards before we'll have viable 3rd party candidates on a national level.
Like deregulating industry and starting wars on poor evidence?
Those seem pretty damn risky to me.

So you throw away what little influence you have on the system in a bid to make a statement? Eh.
If corruption can be controlled as you claim, socialism then becomes a viable form of government!
Seriously. He knocked up Mary and didn't even get consent.
Having low blood sugar is easily avoidable, bring a candy bar with you everywhere you go. Done.
Being to tired? Have some fucking responsibility and leave work before you get tired, or spend the night where you are.
See? Just as easy as not drinking. People who drive tired or with low blood sugar have no excuse. Neither do those distracted by their children.
Your attitude is why I decided to just not play the DUI game. I never see nothing.

He was the lesser of two evils, after all.

dpolak said nothing about censorship. You, however, are twisting his words.
I'm so tired of that sentiment.
The FCC cannot protect the consumer from X without the power to regulate X. The EPA cannot protect the environment from pollution without the power to regulate/punish/whatever polluters.

But we don't.
Every time the government contracts out to private industry, quality suffers and the cost savings are almost never realized.
Just look at Iraq.
