Actually, this is not just a problem in the software industry. It's a problem, in general, across all industries in the USA, at least. QA is an expense, cuts into profits, and slows down production. Most of the QA Departments I've seen are run by people working outside of their specialty. At my site, a mechanical technician is running the entire QA site and determining the QA requirements for electronic testings. He's a good guy and tries hard, but is way outside of his field.
Ultimately, the government will want out and give the service to the highest bidder wo will then burden the people with higher rates, slower service, poor customer service, et al. It will be a repeat of what happened in California when they de-regulated the power producing industry.
I had this nightmare once, where I was getting laser eye surgery. Just after they locked my head in place, out of the corner of my, I catch sight of the Micro$oft flag and then...blue screen of blindness.
The real lesson is - don't turn a public utility over to a private enterprise whose job it is to make a profit off the consumer. The whole fiasco was predicated on saving the consumer money.
never had any problems compiling xith SuSE 6.4. It was very stable. I was using an AMD K6-3. Two other computers I have ran K6-2 with SuSE 6.4 and had no trouble either.
Ah, youth... the sweet dreams, the pleasant pastimes, as yet unaware that the difference in being Republican or Democrat is maybe one pay raise away. If you think either party cares about the drooling masses, you haven't awoken from your sweet dreams yet.
One thing that has always ticked me off about QNX is that no paper manual was provided. Using the CD for help is fine for somethings, but I like having a printed copy for reference when I'm coding unfamiliar functions.
What you don't seem to realize is that we are right now in the middle of deploying the DTV system. Broadcasts began this year. The equipment is being manufactured and shipped right now. This thing began a long time ago. They can't begin to switch to COFDM because they are in the midst of deploying 8VSB equipment. It takes years for acceeptance, but the plan is for NTSC to be extinguished by 2005.
It's not just that. The small tv stations probably will not be able to afford to re-do their stations with all the new expensive equipment. They will either get help from the big boys or fold. If they get help, the big guys (networks) most likely get control. All the small towns and rural areas will be either controlled by networks or be shutdown when the days of NTSC die, except of course for 'pirate tv'.
The worst thing about all of this, is that people have stopped thinking that they are responsible for their own actions and, consequently, blame others for their stupid mistakes. And here, and many other examples, the court concurs. It's no wonder so many need the government to look out for them.
Why do people think we are more violent today. The violent behavior just receives a lot more attention as the newsmen try to sell newspapers and tv time.

extensive testing is no longer cost effective.

The point of the contest is to highlight the social consequence of the profoundly inept and of those that beg to be of that ilk.

Since this moon is moving farther away all the time, this shouldn't be a problem.
It doesn't appear in the menuconfig, but appears in the xconfig. The code seems to be there.
I liked the Budweiser commercial with the preppies.

That's what settop boxes are for.
and yet, as hot as the coffee was, the woman stick the styrofoam cup between her own legs and tries to drive off.
That's the problem. She's abandoned her responsibility and now the credit card company is left to spread it out among the rest of the consumers.

Then you must have been using a Java word processor when you typed in your e-mail.
What's the quote about "those unfamiliar with history are doomed to repeat it". A perfect example.

Not bad. Well thought out. I agree with most of what you have to say.
