I was forced to use a 4gl tool called select at university... and if select is anything to go by, then 4gl tools haven't taken off because they are shit.
Select is (or was) a shoderly written tool, with a really bad user interface that crashed all the time.
Still I think the main reason that 4gl tools aren't reaching the main stream, is that people who can program are too busy writting other apps. After all a 4gl tool isn't as sexy as hacking on the lastest cool project.
You people in america REALLY need to stop this now. The police state is only a matter of time, if patently unjust activities like this are allowed.
Strange how these people still completely fail to address the reasons why people become dangerous. It seems that sweeping up the debris is more acceptable than solving the problem.
Still on the other hand, I think that the reward system is ultimately doomed. How long will it be before every child is on these dbs?
When are they going to learn? Once something is posted, they are screwed. Want a copy? Just email me.

Yep, prisons were reserved for really rich people or very notorious criminals.
Not so long ago ( ~200 years ), when you commited a crime, they chopped off your hands or executed you. It had nothing to do with not having tech. to build good prisons, they believed that when you commited a crime you should be punished for it.

Well as any DA fan should know, he hates deadlines. Did you really expect him to meet this one?

This is absolutely disgusting.

It's the only one I'm qualified to use.
