But thats the whole point of having leaders. You cant do all the investigation, so you must rely on someone to make quality choices.
We need to spend more time learning about our leaders. Put the right ones in place, else this will keep happening as it always has.
By leaders i mean not just politicians but CEO, church leaders, etc. I think the web is helping a lot in this regard. People always think about China when they think of the web causing political change eventually. Its going to do the same for the USA.
Once you can find it acceptable to do 'evil' in one arena, its not long before your doing it all over the place. Peoples main concern when they went public is that they would loose focus. Cutting salary to $1 is purely to save themselves tax burdeon.
Its a loophole for the rich and once they start using rich mans tactics, its not long before the whole ship sinks.
Yes, I think you are trolling. Java has not ever had a slow GUI. There was a flashing bug at one point on windows and some issues in the early days of swing, but thats about it. I been using it for years. FUD.
I would call FUD on your complaint about this eclipse issue as well, but in fact there are many people on the newsgroup that have come across this same issue so it is valid. Its a WINDOWS issue where eclipse gets swapped out of ram and onto the harddrive. There is even a plugin to keep eclipse in RAM on windows.
MS apps will always be faster because they 1. load into memory as soon as you boot your computer. 2. stay resident practically always. 3. use hidden APIs.
Right now I am using a 266MHz laptop with eclipse which has only 256MB RAM. I don't see any slowness in eclipse or even when debugging my app. I just can't agree with you.
I was locked up over something like this. The cashier thought I stole my mothers credit card. Which was a legitimate thought since it was reported stolen by my mother. So she decided to keep the credit card AND my drivers license. So I told her to just call the police and settle this now since I couldn't rightfully drive away anyway.
To make a long story short the officers told me (as I was riding to the station) that in any case always make sure YOU are the one who called the police. They are almost always on the side of the person that placed the call. And yes I got to wear the sporty hand cuffs.
whats worst is once stupid patents get used against a company, they will make sure it dont happen again by filing supid patents of their own. Its an arms race due to the inherent flaw in the patent office makin money off of patent filings. Its also about the big corporations but not as much since they have enough money to hurt the small companies in so many ways already.
I think more people have lost jobs by far to what corporate world likes to call 'streamlining,' that to any FOSS.
Software jobs are only displaced by FOSS, not lost. Besides like everyone keeps saying, most FOSS is not applications sold to end users, its for in house use anyway and that still requires a fair amound of software-intelligent people.
Reverse engineering is legal, but have they no patents or copyrights? Usually they slip in some meaningless junk so they can patent it and/or copyright it. And I think most contries do have some form of patents?
unbundled? Comcast gives large discount if you have cable TV on their internet service. If I did not hav cable TV I would NOT have comcast internet service. Not only that but that is the only reason I actually have cable TV.
Its cheaper to have comcast Internet + comcast cable TV than it is to have ala carte satellite + comcast internet.
I agree, that was a stupid statement. The time spent writing a program is indeed the time spent thinking. The time typing is neglidgible in comparison.
I doubt what you say is true. PDF I would imagine are used a lot more by the business community than the general public. IN any event the format is in heavy use in the business community.
I don't see the business community accepting applications phoning home when they see fit. My company wouldn't. Would IBM, Sun, Motorola, Toyota? Doubtful.
Don't think so. This was there before the bust, so why is there any relation to the bust.
Not saying there is anything special about this president but next time try to pick one who has friends in industries you want to see funded because thats how this game works.
I never played the original but bought the sequal when i was away on business for a week. after about 2 days I took it back. It was entertaining, but not compelling.
I now play Eve-online and have for about a year. I'm satisfied.
Strange. I would assume most use the native resolution of their LCD. I am using 1280x1024 right now. I have a CRT next to my LCD and they are both hooked up to my computer and the images look the same. Is this distortion very small or something because I'm not seeing it.
Please, they do it all the time. I payed 'out of state' tuition rates when I went to school in Texas. Texas does not even have a state income tax so how can they even justify me paying more?
One states citizens are supposed to have the same rights as another states citizens. But its not so.
As for where you are taxed; You are taxed based on where you live and/or where your office HQ is. For instance I worked in Detroit for Chrysler, but was a contract employee where my contract house was in Madison Heights. As far as tax was concerned, I worked in Madison Heights, regardless of my physical presence.
Also if you are a citizen of Detroit you pay ~3.5%, but if you just work in Detroit its ~2.5%. So if you live in another city that taxes the income of its residents and you work in a city that taxes income earned there, you will be taxed twice.
And this is why so many businesses setup in other cities, because they don't have any income tax. Its really unfair as Detroit has all the infrastructure to support people who need help and thus they have this expense/burdeon that the suburbs don't have.
The foul truth is businesses have the ability/power to get what we all deserve, Tax freeness.
Nor did it say how. Most likely the infamous 'vouchers.'
I like Spitzer. I would vote for him to clean out the White house. Special prosecutor like that guy they had chasing Bill Clinton around. But they got rid of him...

What I'd like to know is how the see the balls. Or perhaps I don't want to know...

I have such a complex applicaiton. I recently refactored to make my DAOs stateless. I already had my logic in other objects where it shoudl be.
dividing the responsibility of an object is fundamental to OO programming.
Just because the rules are not in the dAO does not mean the end up in the UI. Add another layer.
Java JVMs are typically written in c/c++. Your comparison if flawed.
Why would it be false? Our brains are capable of using the spectrum info, its our eyes that don't provide it.
Legally its copyright infringement. Morally, religiously, or whateverelsely, it's stealing.

The government fights against municipal broadband everyday, what makes you think they wont fight against 'free' broadband?
Flawed study. You would really be studying the quality of the particular organizations you pick to represent open source and proprietary softwares.
You really need to study to find any statistical correlation between open source, close source, and relaibility and cost.

I have never seen such incredible low posting as I am seeing today. Its an uprising!

Yes. After the 'empowerment' of the 80s there was a huge backlash. I wonder if there are any books on this return to analness?
Seems like the more the boss is incapable of understanding the work of his subordinates, the more he puts tough requirements on them.
No state 'income' tax. I bet they tax property. I know some of those states have the highest sales tax, gas tax, beef tax, etc...
