I use Umbrello also; in fact, I was using it as I wrote my first comment! But Visio does a lot more than UML. I needed to draw some pictures of guys talking on various phones which were connected every which way to little boxes, and Umbrello can't do that.
There is honestly no free alternative to Visio. Sorry, but a fact is a fact. It's one reason why the Codeweavers guys worked on making Visio 2000 run (though not flawlessly).
Because there is no evidence for it. Also, natural selection is not the sole driving force in evolution - random mutation is. Please read a book on evolution sometime. I recommend anything by Richard Dawkins.
Yes, it would be best if everyone subscribed to small-town attitudes instead, because they never ever show any form of scorn or contempt for "city people". Hey, God, guns, and guts made your country great, right?
The Economist reported awhile back that a majority of Americans believe in angels.
Imagine if the U.S. fractured into three separate nations: Washington, Oregon, and California make one country, the northeast (including New York) make another, and the rest make up the third. Which would be the first to collapse into a backwards Third World theocracy?
Wrong, retard. Temperature rises of as little as one degree C over the long-term average cause coral animals to expel the photosynthetic algae that gather nutrients. This leads to coral bleaching and death.
It is your ignorance that is the issue after all. I'll bet it's not the first time.
There were no conventional weapons of mass destruction, either. Sometimes, words do work. Saddam wasn't a threat to anyone save his own people. So you are wrong.
"I am sure that Mr. Yates will be greatly reassured and uplifted by your letter. Hopefully, this will assuage the horrible anxiety Microsoft has suffered and continues to suffer, in the wake of this OpenDocument announcement, for it's good friend... the honorable State of Massachusetts."
Java is mostly a server-side language. It's used on many of the largest websites in the world. Your insinuations are idiotic, and do nothing to answer the question at hand. You are a non-contributor. Please do everyone a favour and leave at once.
But what's with those chicks up in Newcastle? It will be fucking freezing outside, and they'll still be out in their miniskirts and tubetops. As for the food, normal food is just a placeholder for beer...I have never seen more utterly annihilated, drunk women in my life.
Of course, after the pubs close, they go outside to fight. That's the British version of exercise.
Seven of the nine U.S. founding fathers denied the divinity of Jesus. There are many other examples of their reluctance towards religion. I doubt they'd be super thrilled with the Bush administration's attitudes towards scientific inquiry.
Labour costs in much of Europe (especially central Europe - Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc.) are much lower than in the U.S. The famous strikes you refer to are mainly in France, as it's a legal right. This is all about cutting costs through lower wages, and not much else. In fact, it really sounds like your "reasoned argument" is just a thinly-disguised, biased rant against those "lazy, undisciplined Europeans". Nice stereotype. Have you ever worked over there, interacted with Brits, Czechs, Dutch, etc.? They have a strong work ethic, and high productivity.
No, it applies because of the overlap of governments and business. Public contracts (a big part of the U.S. economy) are a good example. Rewarding campaign supporters with nice government contracts is a core issue in economic transparency.
Wow, you're right. I'll bet no one on Slashdot ever noticed that before. And here I was thinking that most of the world used open source office software. What a dummy I am! Those of us who have been reading Slashdot for, what, six, seven years, simply hadn't noticed this! Hey, thanks for pointing this out, man! You really tell it like it is! Peace out, dude! Keep on truckin'!

Jesus, it's just a demo to show that calling split isn't particularly unsafe. How you handle the errors is up to you. Consider the raise statements to be pseudocode.
Ah, but your last line explains everything: you teach programming. You don't do it for a living. Makes sense now.

"Build up" another country? The U.S. was a relatively empty land that was populated by immigrants. India is a crowded, chaotic place with a very old culture and nearly unbreakable social taboos. Oh, and some intractable poverty issues (please visit Calcutta some day). To suggest India is an undeveloped place full of promise for the enterprising westerner willing to roll up his sleeves and get to work is incredibly patronising.
I've worked with lots of comp sci PhDs, and none of them could code worth a damn. In fact, they could barely even read C. So this doesn't surprise me at all.

Gmail actually craps out fairly often, something like once a month. At least it does for me.

Nice assumption, but not even close. Transparency International sticks the U.S. around position 17.
