You make your point very well. Well, so do I. I'm on a well:)
Here, I'll try again for you: "Why does the municipality provide rubbish pickup service? Why don't you pay for it yourself" Um, they don't. I pay for it.
Let's go again: "Why does the municipality provide sewer service? Why don't you pay for it yourself?" Nope, I'm on a septic field.
Ok, the municipality does plow the roads in the winter. You got me there. On the other hand, if they cancelled that service and lowered my taxes, I'd just buy a plow for my gas-sucking SUV. That I buy gas for, as the municipality doesn't give me gasoline, either. And I like it that way.
I take it, however, that you would like some bread with your circus? And I'm supposed to provide it, right? Make up some "basic human right" crap about WiFi and I'm sure you'll have a good chunk of the victim class lining up behind you, just waiting to pick my pocket to pay for it.
I notice that elections in the U.S. are not held on April 15. The Taxpayer Party might just stand a fighting chance if they were.
If you want broadband, pay for it. Why should your neighbor have to pay for your broadband if he/she doesn't want it? And it is really disengenuous to whine about corporations blocking muni broadband when you think about what municipal broadband represents: Someone else paying for your IP service. Why in God's name should a municipality be in the business of delivering IP service to you? It's tax day and I got hit hard. To hell with those of you who want me to pay _more_ because you can't or won't get broadband yourself.
Oh, and my guess is, after you get your taxpayor funded, government-sponsored broadband, you will whine when they censor you. You will have no other place to turn because after a government passes a law to put it into a business, it's next law eliminates all competition. Idiots.
As many right-wingers can read it as you want. And head your plea, even if they don't want to. See, they don't control the armed forces of the united states. Only President Bush does. And I doubt he reads slashdot. Furthermore, I really doubt that he checks out slashdot for advice on foreign policy.
Good luck, though. Maybe you could raise taxes and increase spending on social programs if you post on kuro5hin.
Um hm. Yeah. Kids these days, they all suck, they are dumb, they have no clue, blah blah blah blah. The world has been going to hell in a handbasket since Plato's day. People said the same thing about YOUR generation.
Next up: Singers these days! They show their breasts and gyrate in a sexual way! It is just horrible! Why can't they be wholesome, like Elvis?
You gussed it, back in the 50's, Elvis was the evil influence wrecking America. Oh, and those kids were going to hell in a handbasket, too.
You are 100% correct. The biggies have a long and illustrius history of failure in this space. For whatever reason, smaller more focused companies tend to do really well on the IT side of the equation. The HP's and GE's of the world haven't been able to turn their device expertice into genuine Clinical Information Systems.
I think that the big boys are going to try to use their clout with government to squash the smaller players.
If you are creating fat clients,.NET is the way to go, most likely. If you want web based, J2EE has a lot of open-source compenents you can use to get your application networked via HL7 HAPI is a java-based open source HL7 library: http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/ JEngine can quickly route HL7 messages to & from your application: http://jengine.org/ If your software is open source, or you can use open source components, OpenEMR can give you a leg up for clinical demographic and medical data management. It's neither.NET nor J2EE, rather it is PHP/MySQL http://www.openemr.net/index.php
If you will be interfacing to large hospitals or medical centers, you will most likely bump into Cerner http://www.cerner.com/ or McKesson HBOC http://www.mckesson.com/homeflash.html. While these companies are a bit out of scope for your question, you might want to reserach them as they are the biggest players in the field. Good luck, it is an interesting time in the health care IT field.

Rats are ugly and disgusting and already have claws and teeth and biological weapons capability...now we give them Sidewinders, air-to-ground missles and 20 MM cannon. That's disturbing.
I'm immediately going to deploy a network of cat-neuron controlled anti-aircraft missle batteries.
Gilk180: Right Freakin' On, brother! I spent too many years worrying about "sparse indexes" in IMS to bitch about SQL. If I had mod points, they would go to you.
who the 'bots are. Strike up a conversation with your fellow on-line players. Something like...
Holden: You're in a desert, walking along when - Leon: What one? Holden: What? Leon: What desert? Holden: Doesn't matter what desert it is, it's completely hypothetical. Leon: Well, how come I'd be there? Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you just wanted to get away from it all. Anyway. You're in a desert, walking along when you look down and you see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you. Leon: What's a tortoise? Holden: You know what a turtle is? Leon: 'Course! Holden: Same thing. So you reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon. Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you?
Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
Use cash to buy a sailboat from a shady dealer. Carefull around the Tierra del Fuego, the storms there are pretty rough, I hear. On your approach to Oahu, string party lights from your boat and play loud music. Everyone will think you're a party boat just coming back from fun.
Hell, you can go around the world anonymously and get paid for it. This guy did: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/ -/0071 402519/qid=1092747217/sr=8-6/ref=pd_ka_6/104-28463 18-1558357?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 (anonymous == fake name).
It seems that "Your right to travel by Jetliner Anonymously" is what's at stake here. Get in to your car, drive from Florida to California, pay cash along the way. *POOF*! You're traveling anonymously!
but your landlord can just put the "must use the landlord's wireless network" clause in your lease. You sign away many, many rights when you sign a lease already, this would just be one more.
A huge international consortium will build this thing? I think it's great that this article appears the same day that the Chinese are pulling the plug on compliance to international standards. I know, I know, they can always comply with any given sub-system, but this highlites the disadvantage of a huge conglomeration of countries. Have fun, send a few billion my way for research, but don't expect anything to get built.
GPS is merely one component in the U.S. Military hegemony. Primarily, what defines a superpower is the ability to project power. A huge navy, the ability to deploy ground troups anywhere on the planet, and stratetic missle forces define a superpower. The U.S. was a superpower long before GPS was deployed, and the deployment of GPS won't confer those necessary traits on to Europe any more or less then they already possess them.
1) Just deal with it. Do a good job, but stop caring. Apathy does great things for your stress level
2) Leave. Find a new job. Things are picking up here in Michigan. The last time I went looking for an I.T. job, I ended up with 3 offers. That was last month. Things are getting better, so start looking around
3) Change your jobsite. If your manager is a prick, file a complaint against him with your H.R. person. If he continues to be a prick, ask for a transfer.
There isn't a direct correlation between a product's cost and the amount of innovation put out by a company. Perhaps Sun's innovative hardware will die, but the best engineers with the innovative ideas will get hired by other firms.
I don't know if you will get much relief from your past purchases, but you are doing the right thing by letting the rest of us know how crappy the company is. The next time they come out with a game, drop them an email letting them know why you won't be purchasing it. Or send them a link to this story. "You suck, and here is who knows about it..."
"Rights just ARE". Oh. So we don't need a constitution. Everyone around the world agrees on what rights just "ARE". No need to enumerate them and make sure they are protected by law.
