I am not a frequent linux user. From what I read other people seems to have no problem with either Mandrake and Suse. Even Fedora is ok other than the recent problems with installation.
Perhaps your siemens laptop is the problem?
Does Powerbook solves all your problem? I doubt it handles various kinds of network better than linux does.
To be 100% clear, the disorder is MUCH harder on the family than it is on the afflicted.
I'll say it's 50/50. It could also be very hard on the afflicted, if he or she could still reason. Not to mention the real possibility of suicide.
"how has it affected your and their life?"
If you truly love your sister, this should have NO impact on your life.
If he truly loves her sister, sureuly his life would be different. I could not see how a person would not be different if your loved one got that terrible disease.
Well, somehow you have to accept that God has the authority to determine the life and death of people. After all not everyone die at 100 years old.
By definition, rulers on earth are not gods. So we have the freedom, and responsibility, to overthrow them if they did evil.
If God is not compassionate at all, you and I will die whenever we do one bad thing. By faith I believe that our punishment would fit our crimes, if we do not accept the salvation from Jesus.
Note: I do have problems with accepting eternal retributions, as the claim in traditional theology. I don't think there is any sensible religious person who never have any doubts.
The customer, in this case employees in other department, would not be happy because, unlike other services outsourced for which they could pick the supplier, IT department is the only help they could use.
At least if no money changed hand they could not complain.
You know what, someone could disagree with you without being a fanboy.
C# is like every other useful stuff: The central ideas are good but there are some minor problem here and there.
You gave the impressions that you know about the bad stuff by experiment and are ignorant of the good stuff because of lack of research.
It is on computer science curriculum and it describes several approaches to introductory courses -- object-first, procedural-first, hardware first, etc.
My opinion is that it does not matter whether you start with high level or assembly as long as all levels are covered.
And many people mentioned Knuth and TAOCP. But this is not an introductory textbook for beginners. The reason he used assembly is to describe and analyse EXACTLY the cost and complexity of different algorithms. No one now could be called CS expert without reading this seminal work. So in some sense, expert programmers would know assembly but programmers who know assembly are not necessarily expert.
My experience started with Pascal in highschool, scheme in first year college and C++ in second year. I encountered assembly, and binary gates and hardware, in second year basic architecture course. So can I cal myself expert?:)
Anyway, computer science at UBC is quite good! (I am kind of sad when they change first year courses from scheme to java. Not that it is a bad choice, but I am not sure why I feel that way.)
I've not yet seen a compiler that can generate code as tight as a skilled human. Faster code generation - yes, but faster code - no
People once said computer chess programs could not beat the best human grandmaster...
Whether you hire someone with no assenbler experience depend on what you hire him for. Writing programs for telecommunications or symbolic mathematics.
I think I am going a bit off topic bringing in affirmative action. But the issue is what is the best action to take.
It will only annoy people if you blame and link whatever problem you face to your race. Just like some Chinese Canadians always mention how our ancestors in Canada faced unjust discrimination whenever the chance arises.
Also talk to the real people that were thought needing help. They may not want the help in the form provided, because the help does not work or makes things worse. (Mr Loury is not an armchair professor or economist but has real insight in the race issue since he is 'in the field' to work with blacks/hispanics.)
From my experience, most people are not racist at all, although some of them may still be more comfortable with people of the same race and color -- I am living in Vancouver Canada. You really do not want to alienate these people by 'pulling PC and race card' ALL THE TIME.

Slashdot Mirror
Never attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity ...
he's merely fighting against the falsification of history perpetrated by ethics-less opportunists such as Linus Torvalds
Please, no personal attack. It goes both way.
Is it really that bad?

Well, as long as open standard does not topple the PRC government -- and I don't see it will -- why not?

Methinks he is a social conservative without any ideological stands on economics other than following the money!

You don't have to argue with people who already close their mind.

Because?
If you were more polite, those mysql-loving guys might not down-mod you.
There is a down side to your suggestion.
The customer, in this case employees in other department, would not be happy because, unlike other services outsourced for which they could pick the supplier, IT department is the only help they could use.

However, generously allow people to benefit from things they did not contribute to would ALWAYS have a detrimantal effect on society.
It brings the attitude of entitlement.
'Bear what you sow' is a cross-culture wisdom. It would be nice if everyone in society is moral and with good characters ...

Your comment are insightful. You just don't recognize it.
Perl and C++ are similiar in complexity.
Unless I misunderstand you, that you like to program in, say Python + C.
Slightly off topic, I wonder if OpenOffice document viewers for Windows/Mac would help the adoption of openoffice.
I rely on second hand information only -- my friend works at Alcatel.
But it is COLD.
And i hear it is boring living there.
Male to female ratio is very high.
So far no one mention this report from ACM/IEEE.

Not really. You could compile your high level language into C.
Just relax. I don't see any personal attack in your parent's post.
I consider your tone ruder than your parent poster.
