When you are building a software application, you try to get everything synchronized, so all programmers will be able to understand and feel confident in each other's code.
Many times programmers, in charge of maintenance, have had to search through code only to find the bug related to a script which does not follow the norm of the project.
Therefore, in a serious project, with millions invested, scripting can be a dangerous shortcut that may plague the project a year later.
My point is not that scripting is a waste of time or an unneccesary technique, since it can indeed be useful, but it is likely that an average manager's gut instinct to avoid the technique unless it is the only way to achieve something, because the more it's intermixed with C or Java code, the less standardized the project becomes.
A concept may be easier to express in Chinese, but you don't see many novels written in English with Chinese added here and there. Uniformity often leads to quality.
"Many people point to issues of democracy and public participation and dialogue, and having access to what the Internet brings is really important, she said."
"I didn't see it coming at all," said a shocked associate editor Jose Lourenco. "Things were going great... ad sales were picking up and we were planning ahead to expand certain things."
But if you can't make a profit, then things aren't going great, you shouldn't be expanding, and you should foresee yourself out of a job.
Perhaps 10 years of somehow avoiding death made them feel a bit too immortal.
I usually am for privacy, but you use eBay with an intent to make profit by selling your crap/loot/whatever. If you're obviously selling stolen goods on eBay, then the police should be informed.
Besides sending the unsolicited e-mails, the SEC said Meltzer created numerous Web sites to spread misinformation given to him by stock promoters. To conceal his identity -- and avoid the detection of Web hosts seeking to stop Internet spam -- Meltzer operated under at least 30 different assumed Internet identities, the SEC said.
Some alias' are as follows: MELTzURISGOD, H4X0Rd00d, MNGUY2000, CWBYNL,...
Said statement was an exaggeration of the truth to enforce the point of the above post that the scooter is not well designed. I could have said 'I've seen monkeys...' and it would mean the same thing in this sense, so do not take it literally.

I've only seen those things in use in bad sitcoms. They're ugly, awkward, expensive, and completely unneccessary for living today. I've seen fifth graders come up with better inventions.
The real problem is violent video games and TV! And do you hear what they say in those horrible rap songs? Well, I never! We should just ban this poison once and for all!
Before I got a job as a programmner, and was a dreamy CS major, I invisioned being a programmer as simply writing code with other programmers to do cool stuff.
Realistically, I spend most of my time mindlessly testing my software, which was not incredibly challenging to write, and going to meetings so people can jabber on about buzzwords....and reading/posting/.

I do think he should get a nomination, but aren't these things supposed to be related to actual performance by the actor compared to his contemporaries, and not crooked lobbying?

An interesting look at one of the things students will lower themselves to do to pay for their $80 calculus book.
'This all adds up to networks that could be vulnerable to hacker attacks, according to Schlumberger.'
What an amazing conclusion. Networks are vulnerable. Thank you once again, Captain Obvious.

I agree. Pr0n is important.

That's a cool idea, and certainly being 'jar-jared' is worse then being 'borked'.
