That's right. Instead, you vote for so-called tort reform, or, in wordier but more honest language, virtual immunity for ciminally negligent business interests.
Next time Ford make a Pinto, they'll be able to carve "fuck you" in the heads of the people it burns alive, because there's no way they'll be getting punished for it.
Well, it could be because the US has the most expensive health care system, in terms of % of GDP, of the industrialised world, but has fairly modest health outcomes.
I realise anti-government zealots dislike facts and evidence, but it's not hard to find them. Google is a few clicks away.
What is the problem with alternative explanations for natural phenomena that we observe?
Because they're crap. This isn't a matter of taste, like whether you enjoy Green Day or the Dead Kennedys more. Or do you feel that our understanding of gravity is no more or less valid than the idea that we are kept on the ground by invisible mites who pull us in?
The scientific method allows us to conjecture, observe, test, and accept or reject based on how well our ideas pan out. Anyone willing to make the effort can do this. It works.
Would that be the research conducted by one scientist which has been widely discredited when it was revealed he was the principle consultant to a series of lawsuits, and has never been replicated by anyone else who isn't hopelessly conflicted?
A $0.32 per annum dividend on stock? You realise you'd have to have bought stock back when it was $6 - $7 or less for that to exceed the return on just leaving it an interest bearing account.
The one-off $3 payment at least gets it to around $60, but that's a one-off.
You don't need to buy licences for Solaris, it comes with the kit.
Unless, of course, you need to upgrade, where Sun will now charge you for licenses.
in the normal sense of the word it's a lot more open than Intel.
Tell it to the UltraSPARC/Linux developers, when Sun refused to release errata information for them to deal with data corruption and halting bugs their processors. Real open.
While you're correct that the article conflates a bunch of work that happened, it's entirely possible that Linux was an enabler for this - for example, the cost per (unit of performance) of Solaris is still (IMO) fucking ridiculous at the lower and middle ranges compared to the cost of the same on Lintel.
And while Windows Server 2k3 can run on the same cheap hardware, can you get a production quality release for AMD64 if you need gobs of RAM? What about the cost of multi-CPU licenses, and any client licenses needed? All money that buys you more power in the Linux world.
It may well have been the case "well, with Linux, we can buy enough CPU, I/O, and DBA tuning time to make this thing sing. With Windows we blow money of software licenses. With Solaris we blow it on licenses and proprietary hardware."
If sorting is required in the middle-tier it is usually due to some search algorithm or something
Your experience is happier than mine. Mine is that sorting is done in the middle layer because some fucknut Java programmer finds joins and subselects too hard, so reimplements them poorly.
It gets slightly less slow if you use a stored procedure, but if you do that you have confined yourself to one database vendor. (So much for SQL being a standard.)
Or use the SQL standard commands for creating hierarchies of data. Might help to have a clue what you're on about.

So you are, presumably, vigorously opposed to the death penalty, laws restricting abortion, and state millitary apparatus?
The one with lower infant mortality rates? The one with higher life expectancies?
Ooops, darn those facts. They have no place in faith-based healthcare.
Yeah, you might not have so many dead babies and you'd live longer. What an awful outcome.
Oh, sorry, there go those inconvenient facts again.
That's right. Instead, you vote for so-called tort reform, or, in wordier but more honest language, virtual immunity for ciminally negligent business interests.

The French resistance did indeed kill civilians, as did various Zionist movements not normally called "terrorists" in the west, such as the Hanagah.

Of course, no logger writer would think to hook into IE JScript or Windows GDI events.
This, of course, is based not on ignorant speculation or Mac weenie zeal, but having tried both products.
I *loved* co-op on Doom/Doom II. Crank up the difficulty and run the whole house through the game. Extra neat.
So, let me get this straight. Gamer kids can't afford $55 for a game, but can afford to buy a 9800XT video card with which to play it.
Sounds like a piss-poor rationalistation for theft, if you ask me.
Wholehearted agreement; if you want to watch movies, fly, take the bus, or the train. If you want to drive, pay attention to what you're doing.
Protection from euphoria? What next, vaccines against experiencing pleasure during orgasm?

It is the coder's fault. It's just not her fault alone.

Which "we" is that? The US had an income tax in the 19th Century, until corrupt Gilded Age politicians repleaed it for their wealthy friends.
They could have asked the people who did the London Docklands Light Rail system. They seem to have a functioning driverless system.
But what could a bunch of Europeans teach Mighty America, right?
Yes, you can. Go read the standards. Or use Oracle's CONNECT BY, whichever you prefer.

This is Morocco, not Ethiopia. Perhaps you might like to spend some time learning to differentiate between the various bits of Africa.
