Doctors have to go through this sort of training. They have to stay with case patients for 72 hours straight because they have to experience the entire care process (when patient gets in until he leaves).
I would be dead if I thought that programming is just going through a 100 page spec and doing only that.
You miss out on alot such as why you are doing it, how it can be done better (in a different way) or going the extra distance and really impressing the client.
With Design Patterns and OO and better computers the work people who need things speced out to the nth degree will get replaced by better comptuer tools.
>check if America was with India before last 3 years?
They have been, through the World Bank. The US bought peace in that part of the world.
>Indian s/w industry is not restricted to code monkeys.
That might be true. Could you point it out what innovation they have done? No marketting stuff please.
>US DOES NOT FORM THE BULK OF WIPRO BUSSINESS.
I was going to check this out since they should specifiy this in their financial reports but then I came across this; Click on Canada/US I got a good laugh out of it.
And I look forward for each of these releases the slashdot article announcing them filled with postings which;
1. Claim that this version fixes all bugs, works perfectly and logically and will finally seal M$ coffin. 2. Claim that competing product X is dead. 3. Claim that this product is dead, since similar product X is obviously much superiour.
>You already are responsible for what you do while driving.
If you are 100% legally responsible in an accident depends on many things besides if you are "ethically/morally" responsible. One big factor is how good your lawyer is and how crappy your insurance company is.
>Some of us have the ability to do two things at once,
I really hate people who think this way. "I am above average and don't need to be treated like the rest of you." Just like people who still drink and drive.
>considering the fact that driving is a rather simple mental process
At best you can say that this is the case most of the time. Its that rare time which its a pretty complex thing which could have serious consequences. Thats the part you don't want to get into.
>Bzzzt!! you guessed wrong. I supervise a team of engineers creating J2EE-based apps at a major, well-known online shopping site. Want to move on to Double Jeopardy now?
Gee, talk about about a pain-in-the-ass, prima donna manager.
Um... why would a store accept returns on one of its busiest days of the years?
Why would you spend time toreturn something if you know that this is one of busiest day of the years and there are deals/sales out there that go fast? Why go to a store if you know that it will be crowded/parking will be horrible?
Look at the news. Line ups of people BUYING, not RETURNING.

>Kid, seriously, grow up.
What is wrong with him doing this and staying like this forever?
I mean, he should stop doing something just because "other people who know better" say that he should stop?
Should he stop becuase he could get into civil legal problems? That doesn't stop lots of "adults".
Should he stop because its "wrong"? Maybe some one could tell me where this is ethically wrong becuase I don't see it.
I say that he should keep doing what he likes to do and accept the consequences until he feels he shoudn't anymore and not what other people say.
Because in the end its his life.
>Graphics almost have to be technically impressive to be good,
Not really,
HL has pretty sad graphics, even when it first came out. But ask anyone about head-crabs and crow-bars.
As anyone about quake1 crates.
And going back even further what about;
@......T.T.T
rouge/moria/angband graphics?

Nice reading comprehension.
I said user-written posts will contain these comments. Not the front page slashdot editor's article.

I know how to change my screensaver. Is that sort of like the same thing?
>It has nothing to do with driving being a complex or a simple thing. Some people have the ability to context-switch quickly.
Travelling at 55 miles per hour, in one second you have travelled 80 feet.
Even with perfect context-switching, thats a large enough distance for lots to happen.

>Trade embargos did not work with india,
Economics work wonders.
See how the US literially bought peace in that part of the world a few years ago.
And if it came down to it, China would join in too. That way they could sell more stuff in replace of India/Pakistan.
I heard that Doctorate degrees are not equivlant to docterate degrees in the US.
Indian doctorate degress ~= Master degress in US.
I heard this from an Indian.
>So personally I'm relaxed about West European countries (and I include Canada,
I'm Canadian and I don't feel relaxed if we did have nuclear weapons.
You are taking the same position that the US does. "Hey, we are not going to use them wrongly."
If they have them, they can use them. All it takes is one messed up situation.
Best: OpenSource. Free-as-in-speech is good. Free-as-in-beer is better. True last year, true this year.
Worst: DRM and anything like it. It threatens to turn me into Gollum.
"ITS MINE, My computer is MINE!!!! Myyy PRECIOUSSS! DRM is trickies. WESSS HATEEEESSSS them."

" Now a new album is in the works, featuring joint work with Ben Folds, Henry Rollins, and Brad Paisley. More on Ananova."
Did the editors check the links?
How is the Ananova article "more" than the CBC one?
>How about a "female-only" approach?
Amature lesbian fish! HAWT!!!!
I wonder what source control they are using. :)
Source control really shines when you work with multiple people.
If you are working alone, then its worth it if you want to track down the date and exact changes you made.
What about the Shiny Coloured Glass Age?
There are two ways to go about doing business.
You can be the big, for-the-masses, beat-them-with-price company. Examples of these are Wal-Mart and McDonalds.
You can be the small, speciality, beat-them-with-loyalty/quality company. Examples of these are Gucci and Apple.
As long as they steadly increase profit each year, why should Apple change their ways?
In 3 hours of prime time viewing you watch/are exposed to 52 minutes of commericals
That amount of time is a good justification to actively skip commericals.
>If you are viewing their network programming they do.
They have the right to force you to sit through the commericals?
>For the life of me I can't figure out where people believe they should get TV for free.
Because we naturally rather have it for free?
In Soviet America ... books mark you!
