    Traffic in the Seattle area is in deed atrocious, specially 405. I moved closer to work because of it. I now live 2 minute drive from work and I love it. Of course I'm paying an quite a lot in rent which is ok with me cause I save at least 2 and half hours a day.

    My suggestion, move closer to work if you spend more than two hours computing. Or you could find a job near where you live.

    Jesus Christ dude, you have totally immersed yourself in your little twisted world haven't you?

    Fuckwad, people (namely artist) spends time and money in the studios to make a product they can sell. If everyone is getting, and no one is buying an original, how the fuck are they supposed to make money? Artists are getting screwed as it is by the studios, they donâ(TM)t need consumers telling them to bend over. You think everyone in Kazaa or any other P2P network is entitled download music under the fair use clause?

    Digital or no digital, if you havenâ(TM)t paid for it you are breaking the law. Copyright infringement of something you donâ(TM)t own amount to stealing dickhead and if it gets you off thinking that it is not then that is your proactive.

    Since when is FTP considered P2P? FTP has a server serving up files and whose owner is known. P2P is a spares network of users sharing files among themselves anonymously (so far any ways).

    Sorry but FTP doesn't qualify as P2P.

    Are you serious? Legitimate file sharing is not done over P2P services. It is done in shared intranet folders or secure web-based systems. Those kids who setup a some kind of scouring program a while ago in their college had some legitimacy until the whole system was basically being used for sharing mp3 player.

    P2P is a front for piracy and theft. I'll admit that I use them but you know what? I'm not delusional about the fact that I'm stealing. If I like something, particularly music, I'll buy it. Truth is though most of the music out there is garbage but here an there you'll have a gem of a song. Once the Apple store becomes universal I'll start buying songs, until then fu RIAA.

    Perl programs are typically like batch programs. They usually lack object oriented structure. And writing object oriented perl program isn't exactly as easy as writing an object oriented C++.

    I'm currently writing one big multi-threaded perl program to distribute tasks among networked computer and to tell you the truth writing it as if it were batch program is much easier than trying write it in object oriented fashion.

    I've been in the software development profession for almost 3 years now and I'm not burned yet. Every project i work on I am practically learning something new, but there are times when I'm bored to death. Some weeks things are so slow (waiting on other people) I end up maybe doing maybe 15 hours of actual work. Of course there are times where 12 hour days are necessary. All in all, I can't see myself doing something else. Well, maybe teach, but that doesn't pay. I got bills baby and my monthly expenses are over $2500.

    As long as work is challenging and I'm are learning I don't think I'll burn out.

    Say you get 5 developers contributing extensively to your project, would you then pay each one of them $100 a week? That's $500 a week out of pocket. The more developers you get the more costly it becomes. Unless you are some millionaire, you can't afford to pay people. What you need to do is find people interested in your project and that in itself is a challenge. Sourceforge is your best bet.

    Someone also needs to tell this crowd that some bugs are result of implementation itself. Out of bounds, errors, looking in non-existent resources, etc. Of course exception handling mechanism should be used where appropriate but that itself is prone to programmatically mistakes.

    Unit Testing is by far the best way to go. You find a problem, you fix it but at the same time make sure you don't introduce new problems. This might seem like a daunting task when dealing with a large system but it sure beats trying to strive for perfection all at once.

    Test, test, test I say.
