I was a teenager but I had a drafting table with a full set of manual drafting tools in my bedroom. I would never go back to it over CAD, but there really was something about applying geometry in real time...
The largest commnist government have either failed orstarted to use market forces to grow. Large IT projects have similar aspects. I have been watching one of he larget the Navy Marine Corps Intranet from the sidelines for a while. It has been easy to throw stones after the fact, but it would have taken an IQ of 500 to figure this thing out. If I knew the solution I would not post it here...
Try getting a wheeled vehicle to go everyplace you can go. Upstairs, climb a ladder, move in any direction from a dead stop. Wheel are great if you want to go fast, but legs are better if you want moderate speed and maneuverability.
Ask someone in a wheel chair what they think of wheels instead of legs.
Having been forced to use MS Word to produce a REALLY long document (800 pages, with very complex structure) I can say that there is STILL not a reasonable replacement for the document structuring capabilites of LaTeX if you only want printed output. The mathematical typesetting abilities are the icing on the cake.

This is the firs cyber problem discussed in the book "Dr Ecco's CyberPuzzles" and collection of problem presented in the column in Dr. Dobbs Journal.
I am dealing with this attidue with my current emplyer. HTML as a GUI really lack when you need need to cause change. There is no easy way to "push", so different UI elements can't really be informed when the data they are displaying is changed.
I was an early adopter of Kapital. Seems like over a year now, I am not sure. I had been using Linux exclusively since 1996 and only used windows for Quicken/TurboTax since it had all my financial data since 1993. The early beat versions of Kapital were very encouraging but the most amazing thing was the damn near heroic effort to get a program like Kapital to work on the ZILLIONS of different Linux distributions. Anyone who thinks Linux has a chance on the mainstream desktop needs to look at the mailing list logs for kapital, and the many replies from Shawn regarding difficulties in those areas. Simply amazing. Linux isn't going to Fork like the major Unices did in the 80's, it already HAS.

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't this a violation of the anti cracking clauses of the DCMA?

big strong ones since they actually had a competitive advantage then.

What really irritates me is that most AC-DC adapters have the prongs directly on the body of the adapter and almost ALWAYS cover more than one outlet.
I looks like they are counting every tiny email about "going to lunch". Lots of DATA little INFORMATION.

Seriously, the question wasn't limited to C/C++, which brings lots of other baggage besides teh GUI.
