I can purchase a software package faster than you can create one in java... so, according to your approach, you're the one who's a dinosaur wasting your own time coding.
Fact is, the package I buy will be bloated with extras that I will never need or use.
Programming in RAD languages is no different. You make a call to a pre-existing function/component/"GUI element" and sure, it does the job quicker, but how many bugs does that come with that you dont know about, cant see, and cant fix yourself?
I agree that certain 3GL and 4GL development languages have their place, and so do the 1GL and 2GL's. if people choose to write in a language that is 1 level closer to machine code than what you're using, Kudo's to them for learning about what they're doing, but dont knock them, or you're no better than the guy who built Jurassic park.
Also, that/. provides you the ability to 'Submit A Story'. If you heard it on the radio days ago, then why didn't you submit the story to/. and claim some 'better than first post' kudos for being the person who actually provided some 'news' instead of complaining that it's now 'olds'!
I've found that Mod Points are issued when you're either not in the mood to issue them, or are strongly opinionated on the current topics and thus have to choose whether or not to express your opinion in writing or use your mod points... I always (unfortunately) have to choose the prior!
Oh, and for the record, today , I dont have Mod points to use! So I'm free to post without guilt (for once!)
$89 (AUD) will get you unlimited 1.5 with no caps, shapes or extra costs... you just have to know which provider(s) actually DON'T enforce their AUP's!
Famous quote, yes, I know... but could this be an angle of defence against developers being liable for bugs?...
What IS a bug anyway?... if it wasn't defined that the system SHOULDN'T do something that is being described as a bug, then it's not something that you can complain that the system shouldn't do!
My mother had numerous tests for a heart problem that she has (and eventually had successfully diagnosed)... during the testing phase the doctor (in a nut shell) diagnosed anxiety simply because all the tests were coming back negative for everything else...
*ATTEMPT AT HUMOR* Seems to me that there has always been a blood test to diagnose anxiety, the results are positive for an anxiety diagnosis when the results of the test come back negative.
*GETTING SERIOUS AGAIN* Good to see that now they can run a single test to weed out all the lazy doctors out there who arent persistant enough to find the problem, and just want to send you home with an answer to shut you up
The power station I work for generates 1.6 Gigawatts (spelt with a G)... plug into our switch yard... pay us a couple of million bucks, and back you go!!!!
Ahh, we all knew one day that the confusion with the G at the start of a GIF file would seep into modern day life... is it pronounced Gif(t) or Jif? the saga continues!//END OF MINDLESS BANTER

Mod 0 Redundant...
bugger, should've RTFF first! (the second F is for Forum)
Forward me your Account numbers, address, maybe a phone or payment amount and I can show you how much damage is possible!!! :-P
Missing tools?
;-)
what about the ability to login? I'd say the most important tool is the login prompt! cant do much without that one!
Also, I think this article is really trying to teach us all how to suck eggs... this IS slashdot after all!
I like my coffee ground up and in the fridge..... my women.... c'mon, this is slashdot!
True True!
I am yet to find the distro that actually has a 3DFS... I wouldn't mind navigating my files in 3D, even just for the gimmik!
hehe, I need my eye's checked... for a moment there I thought you said XBOX of a language!

Yeah I have to aggree, leaving the SQL crazyness to the DBA is a nice way of reducing your own workload! ;-)

Damn my hands and thier quickness over my brain!.. clicked Submit and thought of a comeback to my own comment!
a LIMP protocol (for Linux) is better that an WIMP protocol!
Gold I tells ya!.. Absolute Gold!
Well, GIMP will have to claim that one first to prevent the use of their acronym.
;-)
err... too late! they have it already!
We cant make it specifically a 'Linux Instant Messaging Protocol' either, as the acronym doesn't promote linux that well at all!
It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

Can we call it a 'Global IM Protocol' ?
:-)
or will the developers of GIMP get annoyed?

They better get in quick.
they've missed their chance already on a PSP Virus Scanner!
Now that Mod Chips Are Legal who really cares about region codes? just wait for the DVD player mod chip!

From now on, all prostitutes will be installed with fingerprint payment systems.
you'll have to guess where!
or...
put a scanner up your ass... now at least yo can charge for that cavity search!

also, if you weren't happy with the service, do you pay with your middle finger?
If that is your Real Name...
Is it?
"within the bounds of the projector's focusing ability and your ability to ignore huge pixels"
:-) you have either got the picture too big, or you're sitting too close!
Just a quick rule of thumb.. if you can see the pixels, MOVE BACK!
also, not forgetting that the closer you're projector is to the wall, the brighter the light / contrast.
