Delphi is a spin off of Turbo bascal, which pre-dates Visual Basic. Borland spent the time to get it right, releasing Object Pascal and Delphi in 1995. VB didn't get OO until.Net in 2001.
Wrong, its not like the services of southwest airlines aren't accessible to these people. There are multiple ways to access the services of southwest airlines, phone, fax, travel agency, etc.. So they have complete access to everything offered by southwest airlines. Because they can't access it via one out of a multitude of mediums is absurd. This isn't even about the guy bringing the lawsuit. Read carefully, a group of draconian lawyers who conveniently named themselves "Access Now". They are the modern day equivlent of ambulence chasers. Its about sucking millions of dollars off of wallstreet that they didn't earn and have no right too. There should be a law that the loser in these lawsuits pays all legal fees of the other party.
busted? way to read, you would have also noticed the part about "programmer/consultant". I guess i should cut you some slack, it wasn't relevent on your little msce exams, so you probably didn't pick up on that right?
besides, your an msce there guy... by and large the most hideously inept group of people to occupy space in corp. america.
sounds like someone is a bit self-concious about their decision to drop out. People who graduate with hard science (math/physics/chem) or engineering degrees by and large handle very hard and complex things better. However, people who went to school probably wouldn't be satisfied doing the websites or the small time applications anyways, so there is the void you fill. Physicist and engineers want to solve the really hard problems, and work on the large and complex projects, something that I would argue ye virtuous yet degreeless people by and large aren't suited for simply because you haven't seen the kind of mathematics or physics involved in those kinds of things. Set up your firewall, make your website.. and we'll call you when we need you. just don't bitch about the salary difference between us.
While I can't speak to owning a buisness, I can tell you working as a consultant/Programmer and going to school is managable. You just have to be honest with yourself in assessing what you can handle when signing up for classes. People are tempted to load up on extremely hard classes to reach the end faster, but having a full load of work outside of school makes that *almost* unbearable (that is unless you don't mind going without things like sleep). Best thing to do is skip the advisors and go talk to a professor in your dept. about your goals and hash out the best plan of attack. (it is my experience that academic advisors try and discourage you from just about everything). I am currently finishing up my first B.S. in math, and will finish my second in physics next year. Its been rough at times, but the key is to not over extend yourself with your course load, and to be diligent in organizing your time accordingly. Most professors will work with you when things come up and you have to miss class, so long as you talk to them before hand about your situation. (not all will, but most are pretty understanding). One thing that has gotten me this far, is by meeting with my professors at least once ever two weeks or so, about homework, about anything.. just to leave the impression that your going the extra mile to understand the material. (90% of the time it pays off during grading.)
Im sorry, never quite understood how someone could say they knew anything of physics without understanding the mathematics involved in it. While all of those books are great for a thimble full of info, their only purpose should be to inspire to go on to learn the meat of physics. just my opinion anyways..
what is "poor" in this country is considered wealthy in most parts of china. What the US calls poor and poverty is in stark contrast to how its defined in other parts of the world, particularly china. It is still true that someone who is down-troddened and legitimately wants help in this country can find it. Try that in China where poverty follows a person from birth to death in no small part thanks to the government.
Secondly, I don't remember the last time the United States went on a state by state tour burning Catholic and Christian churches to the ground, killing Catholic priests, and throwing people in prisons and sweatshops for owning christian bibles. Or the last time we ran over students at college campuses for protesting with tanks. But you can sit here a bitch about it because its not your arse being thrown in prison for moral, religious or philosophical beliefs.
Maybe if countries like China didn't exist in an ideal world, we wouldn't need such an expensive military budget. Unfortunately, thats not the world we live in, and the governments #1 job is to protect the lives of its citizens. Fortunately people in the military and responsible for its bugdet know 2 things: danger exists all over the world, and the military is something people don't appreciate until its needed. So grow up and stop bitching.
Yah, the Chinese really provide so much for the general welfare of their people... So long as you're not Christian, catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or practice a form of Buddhism not supported by the government. In those cases their homes are destroyed, churches burned, people run over by tanks, thrown in pits of prison making Hanoi Hilton look like a luxury resort. I'm so sick of moral relativists turning a blind eye to the fact that the Chinese, any way you cut it, is still a brutal, murderous regime. But I guess since it's not your family being murdered, and not your arse being thrown into prison for your religious or philosophical beliefs, you can say things like "the Chinese provide for the general welfare of its citizens". Your ignorance baffles me!
40% of the income in this country goes to taxes. There is a philosophical if not economic need for a tax cut. There is more then enough money in the federal government, in fact there is to much. If you gut the federal government from head to toe, send power back to the states, get the government out of ever social orifice of this country, low and behold there is plenty to go around. A powerful centeralized government was exactly what the founding fathers feared most. Most of the power of the federal government should be deferred back to that states. Read the constitution and the federalist papers, it is clear where the majority of the control and money should reside. If you prefer socialism, there are fabulous countries in europe who are economically stagnant because of the devistating tax burden and welfare state. There is a need for tax relief, and I don't think George W. Bush goes far enough. However, at least he is headed in the right direction.

hahah.. That is even better.. I didn't notice that.. wonder if god made them do it?
isn't it a little ironic a messanger titled "IntegrityMessenger" ripping off someone elses code?
