We need to start moving more away from human labor. In 30 years we should not need money. You do a job because you love it. Robot slaves can do the work Humans don't want to do.
Don't hold your breath - I can remember this being said when I was in school, 50 years a go!
I think a spreadsheet template which has been used a couple hundred times will have all but the most corner-case bugs worked out.
Then you are the most at risk - you think the spreadsheet might actually yield reliable data when used by people who did not actually write it themselves.
While I don't say this is impossible, I have been known to bet on the lottery. The fact is that, unless you wrote the spreadsheet yourself (and often even then), its very hard to be sure what it is actually doing with your data.
Databases are indeed prone to (horrific) errors, however, it is quite a lot easier to describe what they are supposed to do, and then test they do it, and then keep the working code. With a spreadsheet, you never know if it has been modified by accident. Formula to text or vice versa errors are very common, and there is a web site somewhere devoted to this subject (Not the daily WTF).
However, the gulf between orthodox and catholic is greater than the gulf between Catholic and protestant, and the gulf between Anglican (Church of England) and American southern Baptist, is greater than the gap between Catholic and Anglican. Lets not mention Amish, Quakers, or the Church of Scotland.
If they did, they would be Muslims, wouldn't they?
However, the percentage of difference between their beliefs is quite small. (I speak as a Christian, though obviously not of the American extremist tradition).
Its not the 1980's any more. You no longer even talk to some idiot in Bangalore called Philip. You click on a few dropdowns on a computer screen, enter your credit card details, and in no time at all, all your money is in Moscow, for all you know. Its called the Interweb, and it was invented by Richard Nixon.
The owner usually pays, but three times as much (or if one of the other drivers is under 25, ten times as much). Hopefully, once this system is debugged, the boy racers will pay, and the rest of us can get off lighter.
I share a currency with my lazy feckless neighbours too. That doesnt mean the currency is doomed.
It does, OTOH, mean that you are falling for the BS peddled by currency speculators.
"Oh, lets short the Euro for a while so they get cheap - buy a whole bunch - and then allow people to wise up a bit". That is what speculators do. "If you are selling life jackets, it pays to rock the boat".
While the speed may not increase the risk of an accident directly (No matter how good you are, it probably does because other drivers have reduced time to respond to your actions) it sure as hell increases the damage if you do have an accident.
I am sure the insurance companies don't give a golden *&%$ how fast you drive, but they really do want to know if you are bad risk. If you have a contract with them that depends on risk, then if you are a bad risk, and I also have a contract with them - especially as a shareholder, then I want to know.
Hell,. if you are the kind of scumbag who admits your driving is so bad you need to hide it from a SatNav, then I don't even what a contract with you!
Loads of perfectly good Nigerian movies are made with lower budgets than the average Nigerian wedding. The plots are more interesting than most of Hollywood's products and you can watch them for free on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/movie?v=h3rAItM0lMw&ob=av1n&feature=mv_sr . However, the effects are typically less than special.
Then your employers are telling you lies. The GPL is well litigated, in many jurisdictions (Google is your friend) and the judges have found it does exactly what is says on the tin.
However, if there is evidence that your employers have not met with sufficient litigation against them, I am sure it can be remedied. Just try using some closed source code.

If you were going to smuggle women anywhere, wouldn't you choose somewhere you could bribe your way out of jail a bit easier?

If you dig deeper, you may be able to discover powerful vested interests.

If it aint busted, you have not got a Ubuntu developer in the house.

However, 2000 years ago, the meaning of the word virgin was more equivalent to "teenager" than to the modern meaning.

Dont know what you should buy, but you might want to go short on your MS stock.

Its obvious: release the news before the crime takes place, but only to the media!
He probably meant "snarf", but "buy" does explain it better.
"Government" and "right mind" are not concepts that are easily aligned.
It is vaguely similar to "irresponsible", but with out actually having a specific meaning.

Science is definitely failing the nut jobs who believe random twaddle is a better guide to stuff.
Not sure about the nice - they crashed a lot, lost data and applications, and there were no software updates, no matter how diabolical the bugs.
You know when you have a winphone! You sure as hell wont do that twice!
