Us developers at large companies have a standard that must be followed (in my case ISO9000). ISO is all about documentation (and procedure (and documented procedure)). Our company standerized on MS office for the documentation.
Some things that lowly developers have to write are External Interface Specs, Design Specs, Statements of Work, etc. They even often want it documented before you start coding, but it isn;t enforced since prototyping is allowed.
The real problem (well, mostly for "them") is that their radar cannot track an 800MPH bird if it doesn't know where to look first.
It's been proven that even the Stealth Fighter (F/A 117) can be lit by radar and taken down by enemy fire.
They were able to shoot that plane down only because they knew where it would be since the planes flew the same route repeatedly.
I also remember reading that a British radar "painted" a Stealth Fighter under similar circumstances. I did a quick google search but couldn't find a reference.
But there haven't been any other combat losses (to my knowledge - correct me if I'm wrong) when proper tactics were employed.
5) You assume to much. 4) What, you think you're some kind of Jedi, eh? 3) You speak of the proficy of the one who will bring balance to the Force? And you think it's this boy? 2) Wipe them out. All of them. 1) Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suuuufffffeeeeerrrrriiinnnggg.

Stories that are selected will be very few, so expect to be have submissions rejected. Submissions must have some sort of angle for them to be considered for Slashdot, and we will be brutal: we're not CNN here.
It's a shame that "some sort of angle" really means bash GWB.
It's obvious who the slashdot staff intends to vote for. Thats great. They have that right. They SHOULD exercise that right.
Just have the nuts to endorse him, not bash the opponent, Let me know why your gonna vote for Gore, not why your NOT gonna vote for Bush.
"It goes over the top in a few places," I warned. "First draft expressions of outrage tend to be that way."
I'm not rich. I intend to be, but I am not.
Now that that is out of the way...
Every time I here the GWB is "[Going to] give a few trillion dollars to those who need it least" I get pissed off. First of all, he's not "giving" anybody anything. He's letting them keep what is theirs.
Let me say it again...
He's letting them keep what is theirs.
Let's call the inheritance tax what it really is: "THE DEATH TAX." I personally find it moronic that the Democrats in the house and senate beleive that when we die, part of what we leave behind is forcably willed to the State/Contry. Thats just plain BullShit. Why don't we just skip the IRS and put a toll at the Pearly Gates/River Styx/(other crossing over point that I'm unaware of). It would accually save even more money so we can transfer it to those tramps that can't manage to keep there legs crossed.
Now, on to the piramids and diamonds. What good has these great social angineering programs done... Did they narrow the gap bewteen the richest and poorest.. hmmm... no. Do you think that the people at the bottom point are any happier... hmmm. no, there still at the bottom.
So what have they accomplished?
Oh thats right. They "created" a larger middle class. And by creating a larger middle class, they are, in effect, able to generate more income via taxes. Hmmm. And where is that money going to go?
Thats right, to the bottom of the piramid (sorry, "diamond.")
But, um, won't that flatten the diamond again? and create a piramid with ALL the middle class now lower class, whether they've worked there ass off to get there, or were given money (taken from ME, BTW)
So in effect, the democrats plan will make MORE poor people, while the republican plan will allow for more middle class, EVEN THOUGH THE RICHEST ARE GETTING THE TAX CUT.
Sometimes, I wonder how people can forget what Ronald Regan did for us. By reducing the taxes on the rich, he created the economy we have today, despite Bill Clinton.

Not to mention "Minority Report" which was the basis for.. um... "Minority Report"

Guess what! you can! you're smart enough!

I think it was the purple one.
