Give this man some mod points. CPAN hell. And CPAN bloat - how many different modules for building modules does one need? 3? 4? 5?
And fragility - I made the mistake of upgrading a package once, only having to re-wind it because of the knock-on effect through the rest of the module hierarchy.
were far more damaging to the US govt than the State Department leaks have been so far.
The problem I think is the bank leaks. I suspect they will be on the same par as the other leaks, but banks being banks, the attacks from the establishment will be far greater in force.
It's the logical next step. It appears that Apple are bringing Mac OS in line with the iPhone and iPad. I think they're closing down the Mac OS. Notice that Steve "The Prophet" Jobs was nibbling at Google about Open-ness. I guess this is the next step. Steve "The Prophet" Jobs is redefining "open-ness" to mean what he wants it to mean. And that means no third party frameworks. Neat, hey?
This is my first and last Apple machine. Well played, Steve.
The UK govt has never been known for its open policies. Typically, it will hire a firm to build a system, and any incomers will have to buy in to that companies system. Which is nice if you're the gatekeeper. If this ever takes off, then it will be a great step forward for UK software. If the govt publishes the specification, and products are measured against that, then competition is more likely to succeed. We might even get a real software industry.
ESB is better because it was written by Leigh Bracket and Lawrence Kasdan, who have both been involved with adult *movies*. I tend to regard Star Wars as television for film. It pretends to have a majestic sweep, but it feels phoney.
By the time we get to VI, we're into toys and preview screenings big time. There is no hope after that.
Amusingly, MS are really shit when they enter a market with real competition - like the tablet, or the smart-phone. The only way they get to control the market is through the OEMs and the corporate monopoly MS have.
Anybody who said that this is a management failure is correct. It's about time they trimmed the top of the tree and started re-focussing. Although I think it's a bit late now.
I'd've thought MS's FUD department would have come up with something better seeing as they're just about to release a competitor to Google Docs - you know, something like a coordinated campaign of spurious patent trolling, adverts etc. But fidelity? Not exactly a rallying cry for the troops. Maybe it's a case of hubris - the MS Office team have had the playing field to themselves for such a long time, they can't really contemplate a successful competitor. Sucks to be them.
But that is the point: the Nazis were not the full-on atheistic regime that the religious right would have us believe. They destroyed those who threatened their power, not those who held a faith.
I'd prefer a complete change in attitude, where cleaners and cleaning are treated as an essential adjunct to the medical process, rather than some optional extra which requires the occasional 'audit'.
In the UK, cleaning was almost universally outsourced, because of some management ideology about core-functions. It turns out that cleaning *is* a core function of a hospital (see a previous poster about the training of Norwegian cleaners) and should not be left to the cheapest bidder.
We should stop putting value on the work of those who make money from money, from paper instruments, rather we should value money for goods. As a socialist, I applaud takeovers; they always lose money. As someone who likes to get paid, I want a return to the time before the Masters Of The Universe ruled our financial institutions.
Hating NASA is like a religion these days. Anything NASA does is bad. No matter. Kinda makes you look a fool, though, when you start letting it warp your logic.
But he wants to wipe the net of all free news don't you see. Get back to the Good Old Days when only the 4th Estate had the monopoly on news.
I fully support the BBC. It's website has become my source of news on the web, and I guess it's the same for a lot of other people. And long may it remain so.

Ummm, that's how the Western World worked in those days outside of small enclaves. In less "enlightened" regions, it was worse.

No way is anyone going to be *buying* any books. You'll be renting it.
Now, where's Jenny Agutter ...

I'd rather get paid than be cool.
Anonymous surely need it's own symbol by now.
It was bad of me, but I did chuckle when I heard of this.

wow, grandad, calm down. It's not your mothers internets now
Always comment your assumptions.
Give usage examples (scripts or modules).
Files that are used.
Conditions when module/script dies.
Major bits of functionality - like, this module forks, or it makes RPC calls to some external system.
Make sure the mother fucking error-statements actually MEAN SOMETHING, a line number whence they came, what caused the error etc.
Or Hitler??????? Ye gods, there's no hope left.
Your analysis is spot on.

is to get American car companies to produce more fuel-efficient cars, either with diesels or a petrol. Whatever works, otherwise, it's all gimmicks.

Ah hem: a WW2 Wehrmacht belt.

Please go peddle your propaganda somewhere else.
Yeah, auditing always works
