So you have to have someone there to make sure the patient is in the right position, assess their health, make sure they are the right person getting the right treatment... remind me why that person can't do the needle stick?
I'll always take a human over a robot where my safety is in question. I want someone who can assess the situation and deal with what's happening in those cases where it's outside the unexpected.
It's a little different producing a magazine than doing free-lance writing or blogging. The magazine has staffers to buy, office space, equipment to buy, etc. When someone distributes the magazine w/o permission the magazine loses the revenue that allows it to exist, and the magazine content disappears.
Sounds good. You should do the same with your work. There are lots of people competing for jobs, so you should just show up and work for free, and if someone wants to make a donation to you, great.
How about if you know who posted the last copy online, he doesn't get any more issues? Assuming that most people are honest (and I believe they are) makes it easy to weed out the jerks.
So you are saying she can't ask for change when she joins a project, because she's new... and she can't ask for change after she's been contributing for years, because she's been putting up with it. So when can she ask for change?
It's real simple. Linux is a good product. If being abrasive is part of his process, let it happen.
And if being abrasive costs him the efforts of people who don't want to deal with his shit, and as a result development is slower than it could be? What about that? Has anyone ever noticed a flame war improving speed or quality of a product?
I can 't comment on Node.js but I can see what large scale Ruby would be a problem. Because Ruby is so dynamic (classes and objects altered on the fly, not static typing, etc) there's simply no way to detect errors up front. Basically Ruby throws out everything that's been done over the last 50 years to make software development safer and more predictable. It's an interesting language, but for large scale development you're going to run into problems and hard to find bugs, as the GP mentioned.
Well, lets see... this talked about 1500 "strategic" nukes. Say Russia dropped 1,000 on the USA, or on average 20 per state. I'm guessing that's most major cities, most industrial complexes, most centralized food processing, rail and air transportation, highway hubs, etc. Yeah, a lot of people would survive the initial attack, but unless you can live off of what's right around you, you won't survive the aftermath, even if you don't have radiation sickness.
The other way to think of it is that recovering from catastrophes like hurricanes, earthquakes, etc is really tough, even when the rest of the country pitches in to help. What happens when there is no "rest of the country"?
Yeah, I have trouble following the argument of "Russia doesn't want to reduce their arsenal, so the USA should reduce its arsenal, at which point Russia will suddenly feel an overpowering need for arms reductions". Seems like it would be more likely to go the other way... Putin would be able to say "see comrades (whups, slip of the tongue), the West really is weak, we can just sit tight and modernize".
Not that I'm opposed to reducing nukes, I think it would be great if we could get it down to a few subs carrying a second strike force, but I don't think unilateral reductions are going to compel Russia to change course.

Huh? asking subscribers to not post free copies online is a scam? Really?

right... "Oh, I didn't post those files on the Internet, some virus stole my pdfs and posted them". Really?

Honest and direct is great. Ranting like something out of the Downfall Parodies, not so much.

Not being a dick != political correctness
We'll just kidnap Dejah Thoris and demand his surrender... mwwahhhahahahahaha
And reading today's news about the failure of Russia's Proton rocket, you have to hope the builders didn't put the KILL switch in upside down.
As long as they don't have any rocket templates to replicate we should be safe... oh... never mind.

Just checking, thanks. I'll buy more tin foil, just in case.
Which hardware manufacturer?
Cue the "fascist Amerka" slashthink
Adolph, is that you?
jeez, time to lay off the Red Bull.

I have a hunch that the stockpiled nukes are not sitting in crates next to the $100 hammers.
Most slashdotters *think* they are multitaskers. Turns out they are wrong.
