We aren't discussing that. We're discussing whether the CEO should have the root password to anything - the general answer is no, unless they're out there maintaining servers, they shouldn't, and if they are, it's probably a startup.
Yes it is a question of who is quallified. You're trying to remind us that it's usually morons running the show, but guess what - we already know that. The PHB shouldn't have root access because there's no reason to give it and many things he can break, and I don't see you refuting this anywhere.
It's less prejudicial than random unfiltered crap on the internet. The point is not that you can eliminate problems, but that you can get a reliable process and get everybody on the same page. Do you really want jurors to each decide questions of law for themselves? If you allow them to go be junior detective, they will, and the legal system will get even more insane.
Have you got a solution or are you going to whine some more? I really don't see the judge giving any quarter to unfiltered information, which may contain prejudicial, hostile, or just plain wrong info. If you want to improve things, perhaps you could start by paying jurors well - perhaps at their dayrate (based on tax returns).
No, they can trust the 16 year old to not be obvious, and in return pretend not to see that it happens at all. This is apparently the sort of thing you have to do when you pack things as densely as Tokyo does.
Hypercapitalism is organizing society based on pure capitalism instead of tempering it with socialism (like we do today). It's pursuit of profit above all else, and is a bit short sighted. This means that you have to keep them on a short leash or they'll burn your house down (somewhat metaphorically).
Of course, with the idea being so vague and content free (make it better than X), there's really no reason to work for someone else, especially when they offer 10% of the profits (so, basically nothing). This is probably why 'idea people' guard their ideas so jealously.
Marketing shouldn't be able to do this - you need someone who owns the product experience and can say how each new feature will be implemented (your 15 option thing, for example). They will be a bottleneck, and that's kind of the point. They'll also solve a lot of your problems with bad features and be the go-to guy on what 'x' should do.
The reason Globals suck is that it's a single namespace and you can end up with random parts of the app affecting your state. The solution is a: namespace your globals and b: restrict visibility of the globals where appropriate. Believe you me, spend some time with a 20 year old fortran program and you'll get religion on globals.
My overall favorite is my friend's father who wanted me to predict stocks for him but didn't know any of the math.. "look you can see the graph goes up or down"
I love those ideas - my stock response is that if I could do that, I'd sell^Wrent it to Goldmann-Sachs
I have to disagree on the employment thing - we shouldn't be running DEA as a job corps, and jobs shouldn't even be a major consideration. Hell, retraining and unemployment bennies are a whole lot cheaper than the current thing, since you have less violence from south of the border anyway. This would liely happen over the course of a few years at the minimum, anyway.
You don't need to be that tricky - we directly fund terrorism in south america. It's not like our hands are at all clean - we just don't like terrorism that targets us.

They aren't the same thing. They are similar, however.

Are you suggesting that the PHBs are more qualified to determine who should have root passwords?
Like the definition of premeditated? If you want to argue for jury nullification, that's fine, but they had best know what the law actually means.

When my uncle was in Pa, he'd just drive across the border to get his beer and wine. Don't tell anyone, ok?
yeah, from what I hear, we have near term potential for 20% panels that are fairly cheap to make.
The big question in my mind: what's the efficiency, and can it be produced in bulk?
He understands just fine, but is being diplomatic.
I thought the insult was core to the posting - the prof just couched it well enough that most people didn't see it.

Well, without spilling gov't secrets out on the net, and running from criminal charges. :)
Julian is running from the equivalent of a bad speeding ticket. Seriously, the most he's on the hook for (officially) is about a $700 fine.

But you probably already know this.
Wait, when was Jobs ever an Engineer? He had vision, can sell ice to an eskimo, and is damn near monomaniacal, but he's not an Engineer.

The fact that Wall Street folks support free trade isn't proof it's a bad idea.
What makes you think they're into free trade? They support hypercapitalism, which makes them about as trustworthy as a pack of rabid weasels.

Not all of it. Nobody has ever controlled the whole thing.
