If you accept animals being used for research, then cloning is a very neccessary step. Sure, it would be cheaper to just let them go at it, but then you don't get genetically identical test subjects.
With clones, you can inuduce cancer in multiple animals, and give half a drug. The non-treated animals are now a perfect control group.
That's easy to say when you have a choice of jobs. Maybe I'm prejudiced, but I'd guess that people working as security guards do it because they haven't yet been accepted at cop school.
Kind of like nobody 'chooses' to work as a telemarketer.
most Visual Studio.NET developers don't understand the WWW and the Internet at all, they drop and drag controls onto a form.
I guess our millages varry. I have yet to meet an ASP.NET developer (including myself) who didn't already have a background in other areas. Probably myself least of all, but I don't see the big deal with dragging/droping controls. That's just the tool. You can write ASP.NET in vi if you want to:-) Actually, often as not, I work in HTML view. I am equally fluent writing server side Perl or classic ASP. Give me a nutshell book, and I'll do PHP or Zope or tack your pick.
Time will tell which of us is correct about the direction ASP.NET takes. I'm not going to try to save it, I'll just use it because it's a lot easier to design maintanable web sites in it than in the classic ASP/PHP model.
You have to plan for that anyways. They can't disable it on the server side, and javascript is the only thing going client side. Ok, Flash, but people disable that even more.
I don''t normally ask things like this, but are you on crack? I have worked with both ASP and ASP.NET. No way in hell would I pick to do a new site in ASP over ASP.NET unless there were overwhelming reasons to do otherwise.
significant training to learn.NET's arcane vocabulary and squirrely architecture
Any web developer worth anything will take to ASP.NET like a duck to water. Same goes for J2EE or PHP or anything else. And any developer worth anything will understand and appreciate the seperation of code and content that ASP.NET provides.
Disclaimer: I'm as anti M$ as anyone on/., but I refuse to let religion cloud my view on a good technology.
I hate spam as much as anyone, but how come we don't complain so bitterly over every other form of unsolicited advertising? What about all those fucking CDs AOL keeps sending? What about the credit card offers that keep pouring in? The catalogs?
Even a free market has rules. This isn't the Wild West where he who has the fastest gun does whatever he wants. 'Free market' only works if there is true competition. In the case of Telus, it isn't.
The better answer, I would say, is to complain, and complain loudly.
After trading up my steele bicycle for titanium, I've had to treat a number of controlled signals as broken. No tickets, but I've had some drivers yell at me. Of course, they take off before bothering to hear my side.
I was 18 months between 'real' jobs, and three years between jobs I really enjoy(ed). Several times in there I heard/read things like "You have to remember many people in IT just got in for the boom, 'good' people are still in demand'" which of course means if you're not in demand, you're not good. Pretty depressing. Good thing I could look back on 15 years of very happy employers to know it wasn't true.
Thank intelligent design for the various projects and classes helped keep me sane, and 'kept my skills up'.
I'm not sure how we got from the rights of people in general to follow a religion others consider wacky, to "you shouldn't be protected at all".
In any case, the US Supreme Court says: ""No government shall impose a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person residing in or confined to an institution"
I'm a moderately paid skinny white man who reads/. - and doesn't feel like paying for cable. I have rabbit ears on my TV and I get one channel, and I LIKE it! Actually, it's Fox, so I don't like it all that much, but anyways...
Honestly not sure if you're joking- but if not then it raises an all important point that one person's religsion is another person's wackiness. Wicca is a serious religion for many people, but is still viewed as 'wacky' by a large part of the US population. Whatever you think you know about Wicca, people who are serious Wiccans deserve the same protections that you do as whatever you are.
Strange, all the 'interesting' bits of St. Petersburg are all still low res. There is a high res section to the SW of Nevsky Prospekt, but the Winter Palace e.g. is a blur. I'm looking forward to Tsarskoye Selo!

Any consumer? I'd be willing to admit you're likely to be the best choice for some consumers, but when you go to absolutes, you're just chanting corporate rhetoric.
I've seen too many non-techie consumers get shafted at BestBuy (and Comp USA, and Circuit City) to believe you're the best choice for everyone.

The problem is, many people take that to mean:
// increment the variable i by one
i++;

Well, if you want to get anal about it, C++ is a superset of C. A C++ compiler had better be able to compile pure C.
I think the important distinction for this discussion is compiled (C/C++/Pascal) vs. byte code/interperted/managed.

ASP is a better environment than ASP.NET???

Probably, but how many slashdotters would seriously consider actually murdering him?
Sure we talk about it, but we're not murderers.
I suspect that most of the people that are that unbalanced don't have what it takes to actually find the spammer.
If said spammer lived next door, and they knew it, it might be a different story.

I once had a neighbor who was always late with the rent. He blaimed his job, which payed every other Wednesday (as apposed to every other Friday).
"And sometimes Wednesday is after the first of the month"

I think these sudden changes are the result of agregating just one site. One big company comes in with a s*load of postings, or the same load expires.
It's ok as a first pass, the 'raw' data is only useful to a point.
I bet this turns out to be "Opera 8.02 available for download via bittorent" not "Opera 8.03 embeds bittorrent"

So if prisoners' rights to worship are at least somewhat protected- why not anyone else?
And what about the right NOT to worship? Some would argue that athiesm is as much a religion as Christianity et al.
'Not mandated' does not equate to 'not protected'.
