  1. Re:In perspective on Robert Boisjoly Dies At 73, the Engineer Who Tried To Stop the Challenger Launch · · Score: 0

    It was one of the saddest days of my life and made me want to give up engineering. At work, any manager that came near me that day got a dirty look and if needed a 'Fuck off' to hasten them on their way.

    "Management, understandably are just a wee bit confused" - this is management's normal state of mind. If it isn't on a spreadsheet, they don't get it.

    I just signed into my Apple Developer account (which is free to join, $99 to deploy) and it gave me a download link http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id448457090?mt=12 which says free. I've already put it on my Mac so I know it works.

    And if you go to your own F'ing link
    http://www.astrobetter.com/mac-app-store-xcode4/ (who posts a link from Mar 2011?)

    Why do people quote Wikipedia like it's the Library of Congress or something?
    I have never paid for a developer license. I have never paid for Xcode.
