This reduces the ability of the designer to rapidly create a product. Now the designer has to construct libraries of routines himself in order to build his product.
Here's a simple example:
Let's say I want to model a function, say, y = x**2, over a range of x = {-50, 50}.
How many lines of Lisp would it require? How many lines of Matlab?

You kiddin me? There were 2 posts on Ebay within 10 minutes of the report of lost communication. Not that I was doing a search on Ebay for Columbia debris...
Of course, now, they have already been taken off...
It's a good thought. However, there are 2 things to consider:
1) If it's a "dumb" ballistic missile, blasting it with microwaves won't do a thing.
2) If there are guidance electronics in the missile, there is a strong chance the missile was designed to withstand the EMP from a nuclear blast, and the microwaves still won't do a thing.
Yes, but can Visio generate C++ from your UML, let you modify the C++, then import it back into the UML editor with all your changes intact? It's called "round trip engineering" and if you aren't doing it, you wasted your money buying ROSE!
Yes, but Rational Rose doesn't really do round-trip engineering successfully. I have run into several situations where Rose 'forgets' to pull in certain classes, neglects to pull in the comments written in the code, and deletes the comments in the existing model. Rose is supposed to be helpful with designing AND documenting. If it continually deletes your comments, it certainly is not helping with the documentation.
Raional Rose is a terrible example of a graphical interface. Here's an example:
Removing objects from the Rose model.
A class is an object in the rose model. If you place the object in a diagram, you have to press the 'delete' key to remove it from the diagram. However, if you press Ctrl+D, you delete it from the diagram AND the MODEL! If you put the object in a sequence diagram, you have to press Ctrl+D to remove it from the DIAGRAM and NOT the MODEL!
If you run Rose on Unix, get out your rabbit's foot, and eat fried chicken for breakfast, cause you're gonna need a whole lot of luck to get something halfway decent out of Rose before it crashes on you...
1. Network dependent. Since the code is on a 'mounted' drive, everything is slower. I have to go to the network for everything.
That's only if you place the code base on the network. In addition, Clearcase allows you to have several base code repositories (VOBs) replicated on a network, then synchronizes them automatically. This would limit or eliminate the problem you mentioned above.
2. Integrates into Windows OS. If clearcase or the network has problems, I have to reboot.
Network problems are network problems. They have nothing to do with Clearcase. That's like saying, "CVS sucks cause when I can't telnet to the server, it doesn't try to compensate". Clearcase does not integrate into Windows like, say, IE.
3. Takes to long. The whole integration stream, delivery, etc. takes about 10 button pushes and a good minute of time.
This is vague. **What** takes too long? Checking out/in files? Triggers? Creating a release version? I have been using Clearcase on both Windows and Unix for several years now, and the only thing which takes any appreciable amount of time is configuring views, branches, etc. At that, it still only takes a few minutes, and is done once.
4. Costs too much. CVS works better, and is free.
It's definitely expensive. CVS, however, does not work better. In fact, CVS is much more limited in capabililty than Clearcase. CVS does work well, and is the right tool for many applications and development teams. However, if the project becomes large, distributed, or has many different builds and releases, Clearcase would work better in the long run.
Advantages of Clearcase: 1. Has salespeople.
How about this:
Advantages of Clearcase: 1. Works seemlessly on both Unix and Windows. 2. GUI for both Unix and Windows. 3. Can take advantage of distributed code base development. 4. Built-in triggering system for file check-ins and check-outs. This allows you to build scripts and such to do things when you check out/in a file or set of files. 6. Smart 'make' routine which can take advantage of compiled object files in other people's views. 7. Graphic 'diff' programs to view the differences between files and versions of files. 8. Ability to create branches from the code base for program maintentance, and bug fixing of releases, etc. 9. Graphic 'merge' programs which aid merging files between different views, or files from different branches.
Those are a few advantages...
Clearcase is a very nice tool. It was originally created by another company, whose name escapes me at the moment, then later purchased by Rational.
Now, Rational Rose, on the other hand, has it's fare share of problems...
Denial-of-service attacks. (BIND 9's fragility makes denial of service completely trivial; but an attacker can easily take down the Domain Name System without using any of BIND's bugs. The DNS architecture needs to be decentralized.)
If you look at the problem from the correct perspective. That perspective, of course, is corporate computer sales/leases. One of the things which Compaq brings to the negotiations table, when dealing with large computer leases/purchases, is the ability to toss in WinCE PDAs (iPaq's). Many times, the PDA's are sold at a cut rate, or given away to sweeten the deal. This is a nice benefit for companies, and is an area where Dell has been lacking. Now they can offer WinCE PDA's at a significantly cheaper price than the iPaq's. This removes one of the few selling advantages which Compaq held over Dell.
Tomorrow I want to see 60 fat little circus midgets dressed up like penguins skateboarding through downtown NYC, screaming at the top of their lungs, and throwing rocks at all the windows:

Take scheme, for example. No for loops. Ack!

I'm afraid so. And it looks like you are already saving up by not buying any vowels!
