80% of the code in business fits this description. With 20 year old legacy code written by 50 consultants, then upgraded in India, then ported from one platform to another to another, and a database engine switch or two. Code gets senile.
Finding someone who "predicted" current events is easy. There's always one monkey out of the millions with typewriters who gets it right. Finding someone with a long, successful record of predicting the future? Good luck with that.
A summer of hot sun beating down on it would surely break it down.*
* - Writing as someone who thought, "Hey, if using plastic sheeting on the ground for a month to kill weed seeds works, think how well it will work if I leave it on the ground for three months!" Hot sun turns plastic nice and brittle and, ultimately, into little bits of plastic blown all over the place.
The economy may recover eventually in spite of the efforts of the Obama administration, but their continued "help" will not be as useful as the liberals suppose.
The joke's on you. The economy will get better on Obama's watch. Conservatives will say in spite of his policies, liberals will say because of them. Won't matter, though. Happened on his watch and he will largely get the credit and Republicans will have, once again, whined themselves into irrelevance for a few decades. Thanks, Dubya!
Interesting that Ellison waited until Roddenberry died to publish his side of the story. Presumably so people like you could brand Roddenberry, unable to defend himself, a liar.
Our corporation has now cut our productivity by 75% in the last 5 years due to SOX related procedural changes. It takes 45 days to put a 1 line code change into practice.
For the record, I worked at a place where we could release SOX-compliant changes within an hour of the need arising. However, our normal release cycle was weekly and we passed all of our SOX audits. If your company's productivity has declined 75%, don't blame SOX.
The book is not a study, it is trying to teach refactoring concepts with the idea that you can take and apply them to any SQL project. Surely you can figure out how to apply an Oracle or MySQL example to PostgreSQL, yes?
Realistically, he has no choice. No atheist/agnostic/non-church-goer is going to be elected President of the United States for at least the next one hundred years. That's just the way it is around here.
Issue at least one executive order to strike down one of the myriad unconstitutional laws that does not pass muster under the enumerated congressional powers.
Frankly i hope that we have numerous assassins at work both inside and outside our own borders killing off those that preach death to America, death to Christians, death to Israel etc.
Not that I have anything against Christians or Israelis but why do you want American going around killing people that don't like Christians? Or Israelis? What does this have to do with US national security?

"Realistic artwork"? I think you miss the point...of art.
Exactly. When Weird Al puts his lyrics over someone else's tune, the original songwriter is definitely getting paid.

Ah, a co-worker!
The scene in the transporter room between Spock and Uhura was completely cliche and unnecessary.
Fixed that for you.
So... you purchased an HD version of a series shot on 1960s-quality TV equipment?
You mean film, right?

If you're the one driving the tank there are no traffic jams.
Of course it isn't, because gulible is only spelled with one 'l'.
Wrong, Captain Pedantic.
What about if your internet goes out and there's jack-crap on TV?
Read a book?
Me: I estimate this will take four months.
Director of IT (former sysadmin): This should only take four weeks.
Want to guess who got blamed when the project took four months?

Yes, because I've never seen a person walking with a paper book who was completely zombified... ;-)
Um, aren't there something like 20,000 apps in Apple's App Store? How is this "weakness" manifesting itself?
Last I checked FDR was our only Unconstitutionally long office holder in the presidency....
Last I checked, FDR being elected to four terms was perfectly constitutional at the time.
The new calculations suggest that the decay mechanism should win over... [emphasis mine]
It's weasel words like the ones above that make folks nervous. If it can't happen, then say so and quit hedging your bets.
I like curry.
Privately funded. Got a problem with that?

What hate America, left wing source gave you that information and tried to compare us to Egypt in terms of democracy?
The CIA?
