If rehabilitation were not one of the goals, why let them back out? Wouldn't it be assumed they would simply revert back to their criminal ways? I think under those circumstances, criminals would have been locked up for good, regardless of the crime.
Attributing awareness to 'mother nature' is irrational.
You must be new around here (humanity), because that's just what we do. Almost everything we do not understand is assigned an identity, a personality, and it almost always wants to hurt you (or burn you in hell forever... out of love).
What is WalMart going to do with a bunch of hacked together HP code, without any of the people who worked on it?
Hire a team of engineers to document and maintain it? We're talking about a video download website, not kernel development. Their reason sounds more like an excuse than anything else.
Batteries carried in the cabin are subject to limitations on per-battery and total lithium content, and spare batteries must have the terminals covered.
Run Visual Studio in a VM on your Linux desktop and call it even.:)
In all seriousness, do whatever will result in producing the best code. If that means using Visual Studio, for whatever reason, stick with it. IMO, the amount of time you save in a familiar environment makes up for the extra work ensuring your code builds elsewhere. However, you may have a few more hoops to jump through to make sure that code actually runs elsewhere.
Would be nice if it automatically generated make files too
If you use VS 2005 or later, you can easily transform the project file (which is just a MSBuild file) into anything you want. For example, you might output a simple NAnt script, which could be a quick and dirty way to target multiple platforms (NAnt will run on Mono).
How fast can you read/write data on a Blu-ray disc?
According to the Blu-ray Disc specification, 1x speed is defined as 36Mbps. However, as BD-ROM movies will require a 54Mbps data transfer rate the minimum speed we're expecting to see is 2x (72Mbps). Blu-ray also has the potential for much higher speeds, as a result of the larger numerical aperture (NA) adopted by Blu-ray Disc. The large NA value effectively means that Blu-ray will require less recording power and lower disc rotation speed than DVD and HD-DVD to achieve the same data transfer rate. While the media itself limited the recording speed in the past, the only limiting factor for Blu-ray is the capacity of the hardware. If we assume a maximum disc rotation speed of 10,000 RPM, then 12x at the outer diameter should be possible (about 400Mbps). This is why the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) already has plans to raise the speed to 8x (288Mbps) or more in the future.
What they don't tell you is that the $40K is spent in bandwidth, CPU and quaaludes while you wait for iTunes to download "missing album artwork" for 160 GB worth of mixed and independent music (for which there is no artwork to download). God only knows how much you spend waiting for it to scan your files for gap-less playback...

It also teaches "Do unto others first"
I think you might have revenge confused with assault.
How is revenge any worse than the arbitrary punishment decided in a courtroom or municipal office ?
It isn't about revenge. The hope is that the system will try to rehabilitate. Revenge only teaches a criminal to be more careful and/or armed.

Who said anything about bringing liberty to anyone?
W did. First, we liberated the Iraqi people from a tyranimal dictatator. Then we started up with the democracy.

In any case...
Mother Nature is NOT aware of anything
how are you so sure?

whereas something like Jesus's application of the "Golden Rule" was not limited to only those that followed him.
Someone should tell his followers.
Perhaps you should generalize less.
They probably just got them at a CompUSA fire sale.

Ok, please stop already. You are making all the Jane's Addiction fans cry. (Which, by the way, is completely natural).
