Actually, if you do your job while you were navigator, you shouldn't be erasing everything when you are driving. The critical part of pair programming is that the driver needs to talk a lot to keep the navigator engaged. If both people are have their heart into it, it really works. If you just want to sit in a corner and code and don't want to be a team player and don't want to talk to anyone, you are asking for your job to be sent overseas.
This is a good question, except that the economy hasn't dwindled during the past 30 years, it's actually grown quite a bit. I'd like to ask them
"Would either of you acknowledge that the war on drugs has a cost way beyond the dollars spent on law enforcement and incarceration and the lost tax dollars that could be captured from sales taxes on currently illegal drugs. Would you acknowledge that we arent going to stop people from doing drugs (we arent even stopping people from doing drugs in prison) and that trying to do through law enforcement gives thugs a monopoly (anyone not a thug will be ratted-out by an accomplice, or ripped-off) on the drug trade, therefore enriching thugs (and terrorists). Its not a question of if drug legalization will increase the amount of drug abuse, because it very well may. Its the question of do you think the distortion in the economy (the creation of a job market for people with the skills of violence), are worth it. Wouldnt it be better to tax the drugs and use the money for treatment (and for law enforcement of crimes with victims).
Are you going to provide the funds for the manpower required to manually search help fields? You cant exactly fly airplanes/helicopters over the area and expect to make easy identification without some on the ground work.
Dude, he wouldn't even try to search hemp fields. He would stop wasting our money on fighting a war against one of the US' largest cash crops. That's not because he wants everybody to smoke pot, it's because he doesn't want to waste money and distort the economy by fighting the "war on drugs".
Wow, that's a small state, but one that's the most libertarian (at least by reputation). Too bad. At least they are on in Texas (I signed the petition).

Even if half this stuff is not going to happen, just reading this article should make everybody realize how silly it is to worry about a few programming jobs going to India. With the hardware advances, the number of uses for a programmer is going to increase faster than even India and China and Rusia will be able to produce them. The thing to worry about is that China and India are both producing engineers and programmers faster than the US and Canada. That's going to make India and China the wealth creating nations of the future.
If you read IBM's document, you will note that before and after Darl started his lawsuit (and you know that Darl claimed he tried to read agreement with IBM before he sued), SCO advertised the fact that their newest version of Linux contained JFS. How could they not know about it being in there?
Independently of that, IBM also has mountains of evidence that they, or Sequent never had an agreement with AT&T they lost any control at all over code that touched the Unix base code.
Can we get a CBO recommendation on patents too? Patents were supposed to give people an incentive to invent. Instead, they are a disincentive. Anyone who actually creates something worthwhile risks being sued for infringement of frivolous patents.
- Raise the application fee so that the patent office can do a decent job. - Shorten the length of the software / business process patents (better yet, ban them).ation fee so that the patent office can do a decent job.

Dude, if the price is $4.5 a share now, that means it will cost a lot more to buy all the shares. And that will encourage others to file the same type of frivolous lawsuits. What we really need to see is Darl and friends in jail.
And how much energy does it take to produce a single square foot. There is a basic falicy that a lot of folks seem to miss. Like the fact that you burn more oil to create an equivianent amount of ethanol from corn. There is a study at cornell that shows this. The same thing holds for all current forms of solar energy. While it will no double have niche applications, it's not going to release the world from dependence on oil, even if we could plater all the skyscrapers of the world with it.
I know that Darl has already lied about so many things, but here are a couple
- When we found out about the infringements in Linux, we stopped distributing it.
- We are concerned about the changes from 2.2 to 2.4.
ELF has been Part of linux for at least 9 years, way before linux 2.2. It is to obvious that ELF is part of linux. Also, one of their defenses to the IBM patent counterclaim that we have been using it for years and they have never complained about it before
They aren't patenting xml. They are putting a bunch of scripts together with the name of the interpreter for each script as a tag (or an attribute). You could do the same thing with a linux directory and just. The
#!/bin/sh
or
#!perl -w...
at the top of each file would tell you how to run the script.
No, they aren't going to make them open source. If you want open source drivers, write one yourself. What we need now is a good driver for the centrino. And if Intel actually releases it, they should be praised, not critized for not being pure open source.
This reminds me of that movie Fargo where W.H. Macy keeps faxing illegible copies of VIN numbers. I wonder if Darl will wind up caught in a roadside motel somewhere.
Great argument for people with their head in the trough. We need funding for specialized, proprietary hardware so we don't fall behind the Japanese. Intel/AMD CPU's aren't good enough. SUN, can't compete price/performance with Linux/Intel. NASA lost a couple of Mars probes (expensive, custom hardware), while a cheap Mars Rover mission makes it there with OTS parts. Of course, if you are aiming for taxpayer funding, your cost/performance priorities are the same as if you are spending your own money.
So why isn't the Gartner group warning folks to "go slow" on using AIX for mission-critical applications too? If you give SCO any credibility, then you have to believe AIX contains unauthorized SCO intellectual property too.
