    Indeed, in 1985 C++ was just being invented - or at least, refined - and was still a language preprocessed into C code. Been there, got the Tshirt.

    And it's NOT that the EPA (or any other government agency) is bad, what is BAD is that increasingly there is NO OVERSIGHT of these departments. I think EVERYONE would agree that clean water and air is vital but in too many instances the power of government departments is unchecked and being used as an all purpose weapon against the people who are on the fecal roster of those in power. Unfortunately few-to-no humans work in any other manner other than "I want to kill my enemies."

    And maybe you wouldn't be able to spew your hate if American computing technology wasn't powering this and all internet discussion boards.

    Of course he does, because idiots like him believe that federal government == God and the omnipotent will solve all.

    which simply means that all "investigations" will be done as a federal/local/state partnership, rather like drug investigations today. It will change nothing.

    Especially since "Now we're all Agile, so nothing ever REALLY needs to be specified because we'll always flounder around and then pull five or six all nighters."

    It depends on where. If it's in the eastern US that may be the case. On the great plains, not so much. And there ARE tree farms on the great plains.

  8. Re:Barriers to women often subtle or invisible on Survey: More Women Are Going Into Programming · · Score: 2

    Again, I have 30 years experience in this field and I have never, ever seen that. Guess what? Engineering salaries are far higher than temp workers. Engineers do not get asked to watch the phones regardless of gender. Have you graduated with your BS yet?

  9. Re:And we care because...why? on Survey: More Women Are Going Into Programming · · Score: 1

    Guess what? There may be a glass ceiling, I don't know. But most of us engineer types stay engineer types all our careers. By definition, we ALL have ceiling. Once you go to management you aren't an engineer anymore, and you have to do many ethically questionable things.

    The amazing thing is that anyone can believe that wikipedia reports facts.

    And, it's why so many European companies that sell engineered products (German cars, anyone?) so frequently eat the lunch of American companies doing a similar thing. If you do not know the products your business is building, you do not know your business.

    Or, parts of the US are ridiculously over populated.

    Actually weren't something like 10 million or more killed in the camps? Last I noticed, Jews did not deny that others died in the camps, too.

  14. Re: Christ on a popsicle stick, now what? on Germany Wants Facebook To Obey Its Rules About Holocaust Denial · · Score: 1

    I see no evidence of places throughout the USA that folks cannot leave if they so choose. Stop your hate mongering. If you want to help non white minority groups who are poor, go and help to educate them to get decent jobs, start businesses, etc. Sheesh. I came from about as far on the wrong side of the tracks as it is possible, and I needed three things: Some money for community college, some common sense to choose a major that gave me a decent job, and the desire to apply myself. I'm not saying that minorities don't have it tougher. But to say there are concentration camps for minorities in the USA is absolutely false.

  15. Re:Brought about by the internet? on Germany Wants Facebook To Obey Its Rules About Holocaust Denial · · Score: 1

    No. It has nothing to do with Israel. It has to do with denying the holocaust happened against JEWS. Last I noticed, Israel didn't exist before 1947, yet the holocaust happened.

    Yes, but unless you're a left coaster, according to a huge percentage of folks on this board, you don't exist. I don't mind that much 'cause I don't want them here.

    Typical liberal drive. For the hundreds of thousands of us who live in places like Wyoming, and the millions who live in rural areas all over the country, some of us are neither flat earthers, nor home schoolers, nor folks who 'crap all over the internet.' Some of us want to get away from elitist hypocrites like yourselves.
