Wow you weren't even close. Are you new around here? The only way to get first post is to continuosly hit the refresh button with a pretyped messaged saved for a quick middle mouse button click.
"if nothing less just shielding the driver from the initial crash."
True...but what about the driver of the vehicle you are crashing into? It would pretty well suck for him. Also if both vehicles has this it might actually make car wrecks worse all around.
I guess it depends on what line of coding you are in. I do scientific coding and it is quite heavy on math and algorithms. Makes it very enjoyable for me. I think I would get board writing business logic rules...but everyone has their own special niche.
"Not only that, but the cost to make one drug, test it and get it widely used by its target audience is probably closing in on the cost of writing several commercial applications."
Amen Brother. This country, and the world, are likely to learn some severe lessons in the coming decade as the human race reaches peak oil. There is apart of me that hopes the whole corrupt system comes crashing down so that future generations can build it back the way it should be. It is ok to make money but MOST people now-a-days put money before morality. I hope the whole damn system crashes down with it's fake fiat currency and dependance on oil. I for one welcome the return of gold as a standard for currency and not a forced standard of oil.
Agreed. I am not an economist either, but I am a small investor. My current strategy is to lock in my the equity from my rental house at a fixed rate and move that money to stocks. Risky? yes. Will Work. Hell Yes. Money has to go somewhere. Invest it in a variety of mutual funds some in the states and some over seas. Most of the money in the world is made by significant sums of leverage. The really risky strategy is to fund your online broker with the funds from your house and then trade on full margin on the borrowed funds...you will either be rich on this upturn or you will be dead ass broke...Yippy
Cheers.
Oh Buy they way...you are a fool if you take investment advice from someone on slashdot
You mean like totally different force fields: Amber, charmm, MM2, MM3, Dreidig, Tripos, OPLS, OPLSAA, amber*, etc., etc.,etc.
So yeah there are quite a few different force fields and they are used in quite a few different ways. I suspect either the latest amber or Charmm force fields were used for this work.
Send me an email with those ideas. I might very well be interested in fronting you $50,000. Heck I might be interested in partnering if the idea is interesting to me as well.
My background is scientific programming for the Medicinal Chemistry field. I have started my own company but don't really expect it to take of because of market saturation in the area. So I am always on the lookout for other people with good ideas that are serious about making a run at it. At the end of the day 50,00-100,000 is not hard to raise if you have the right "people" to pull of the idea.
Listen to what? A demand from some billionare? Give it a rest. If Dell wants a standard distribution then they should build on or just use RedHat. We are not going to "standardize" for Mike Dell. Remember most of us are not on a holly war against microsoft. In fact I could pretty much care less about what microsoft does. I use Linux because I like it. People do this because they love it not because they are trying to help Dell make money off their backs.
"I only wish we still had command line interpreters around. It was so nice when beginners could execute their instructions directly OR add them to a program. It made playing around and learning so much quicker."
at the command prompt type: python
BTW I think Python is without a doubt the best language to teach a begginer with.
You are an admin. You get paid to administer computers. You do not work on a development team. Your job does not depend on the next "software" product going to market and being succesful.
We are programmers. We get paid to program computers....you know that software that you put on your servers?
Programmers DO lose jobs when other programmers write apllications for free. Admins are actually able to lower the budget at Corporation X and thus keep their jobs longer.
However OSS only forces people to keep the innovation level up. No more stagnating and making money of old technology.
Actually the biggest problem I run into has been the various versions of GCC and the constant changing of QT from v2 to v3 and now to v4. Oh and lets not forget going from 2.4 kernels to 2.6 kernels. Sadly I have been a Linux programmer for quite a while an while I found it strange and alien to code for windows I must admit that distribtution was 10X simpler.
With linux the only viable solution I have found is to include all the relevant libraries for the software and have a startup script that specifies LD_LIBRARY_PATH. And yes even scripting languages suffer from the constant upgrading. Don't get me wrong I like the constant pace of chage, but if we want more software vendors to support the platform then they are going to need a more stable system to build on.
It definetly interfaces well with C. I actually don't have that much experience with it. I am a scientific coder and we face a lot of the same issues you games guy's do. I would love to start a small project from scratch just to see how D really stacks up. Like you said, right now C++ is pretty much the best we have.
Actually I think you got it backwards. Software people need to realize that if we want to keep our jobs then it is in our best interests to become good programmers on the latest hardware. Our current computing paradign (hate that word) is coming to an end people. Multi core processing is here and the CELL is just looking at it from a different perspective. We will ALL be writing parallell code or we will not be writing code. I for one am quite excited about the return of optimized programming.
The discovery for a small business might be 1 weeks worth of time. Not exactly going to break the bank. I agree that the public defender comment was a stupid. However attorneys are willing to work for free as long as they are compensated on the counter lawsuit.
Interesting...I should have known that. Just out of curiosity how can they force a company to pay legal expenses if they don't have the money to pay them. Basically what I am saying is that your legal expensses are only what you are willing to pay. If you don't have the money to hire very expensive lawyers then what are they going to do to you? A small business (like mine) could easily provide the court with all documentation, source code, tax info, etc in 1 weeks time. A
Why? You could take a public defender and beat Oracle every single time. There is absoulty nonthing they could ever do to a small business. I sure as hell wouldn't authorize a payment to Oracle from my business.
I do understand what you are saying, but I doubt very many people would pony up. Maybe a few would until it was tried in Court and Oracle lost. Ulitmately it would be a lot of legal expensses for Oracle and very little revenue.
For what it's worth it does indeed worry me that Oracle is trying to buy all the small time DB vendors. Actually is scares the shit out of me.

LOL You are a complete fool.
"but do you really think that anyone could buy GM?"
Yes of course lots of companies "could" by GM. The question is why in Gods name would they? GM is most likely a doomed company.
Yes I agree totally. I have no mod points....thus my post off agreement.
100% total agreement.
Vote for Pedro!

Let me help you with the confusion:
You are an admin. You get paid to administer computers. You do not work on a development team. Your job does not depend on the next "software" product going to market and being succesful.
We are programmers. We get paid to program computers....you know that software that you put on your servers?

Please tell me more.
You do of source realize that South San Fran is the biotech center of the universe right?

Have a good look at D. No seriously!

So treat being online just like being in public. Since basically you are in public. Don't send email that you are scared of other people reading.
