  1. Re:If you only want to do pure research, maybe on Is Computer Science Dead? · · Score: 0

    "On one hand you have all the corporates bitching and moaning about how they don't have enough people to do the work"

    No, what they are saying is that they don't have enough cheap overseas labor to do the work. What they want is to pay someone $2.00 an hour who will work 60 hours weeks and be happy. Only so many people will do that.

  2. Scary!!! on Does Offshoring Threaten Combat Software? · · Score: 0

    What scares me the most is the fact that they even gave offshoring a consideration!!!

    aug24,

    You are so wrong! Stop Listening to the warped English school system. They have warped your little fragile mind.

    Infallibility only pertains to matters of Faith and Morals don't make it out to be more than it is.

    The Jewish children were NEVER abducted there were saved from the Nazis. They were baptized so they would not be discovered as jews. You are worse than the BBC.

    The so called "Powerful" Vatican city is so "Powerful" that Europe ignores it along with stealing it's rightful land.

  4. GE Outsourcing To India on Blackout Cause: Buggy Code · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Might I add GE outsources much of its software to India. GE railroads is a BIG outsourcing of software to India. I hope we don't have a railroad accident because of poor quality.

  5. Sparc on Is Linux Losing Its SPARC? · · Score: 1

    Sun's sparc is just better! You can get better n-tier support then Sun..... my 2 cents

  6. Re:Run Sybase on a Sun E450 if you love MSSQL so m on IBM To Purchase Informix Database · · Score: 1

    What about Pervasive.SQL / Dataflex Solution?

  7. Re:DataFlex? on IBM To Purchase Informix Database · · Score: 1

    Haveny't you people ever heard of DataFlex from the Data Access Corporation???? www.dataaccess.com Or, Pervasive.SQL? Why must you people subjected to the advertisments of large corporations who choose your software for you. The above products are just as scalable and cost alot less (plus they have advantages).

  8. Medical Software on Digital Doctoring · · Score: 1

    I worked in the Medical Software business and let me tell you it is SCAREY. I worked for one of the largest medical software companies in the USA who claimed to be "modern". However, they were still coding in COBOL 74 (that is GOTO logic for those who don't know). I soon realized I had to get out of there. You would be amazed at how screwed up Medical Software/Hardware really is.....

  9. Re:What potential! on NSA Releases High Security Version Of Linux · · Score: 1

    I agree! Go NSA!

  10. NSA on NSA Releases High Security Version Of Linux · · Score: 1

    HEY, GOOD FOR THEM! The government is so far up Bill Gates ass that I think it's great that they are looking at Linux. Please Note: The government is the largest buyer of software in the world, and Bill Gates has gotten most of that money. So, I say we support the NSA's move to Linux as much as possible. I am so tired of writting code for the government that has to run on Microsoft boxes (that doesn't work) that I think it would such a joy to write code for Linux (that would work). Way to go NSA!

  11. DATAFLEX on 30+ GB Databases On Unix? · · Score: 1

    A Dataflex DB running on a UNIX OS would have no problem handling 30GB. See www.dataaccess.com ... This really is not a big DB compared to some of the other dataflex / UNIX sites out there...
