"Yeah."

While having the 2nd Amendment applied to the individual is the correct, I believe, interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, I do think that this could lead to an even greater amount of gun related deaths. Enough, perhaps, to foster an amendment to repeal the 2nd. The only way that would succeed is if there is enough turmoil caused by guns. Which, could only happen with Wednesday's ruling as a first step.

Exactly. You get what you pay for, and airlines run on ridiculously narrow margins. A modern airliner costs about the same as a skycraper. Then factor in that you have a fleet of hundreds of these, each taking on tens of thousands of gallons of fuel, and that the whole thing is still easily susceptible to the weather, and you realize taht economic disaster is far more likely than success.
I had a "poster is a moron" moment when I read the question.
I think its likely just a MacGuffin. He's really getting a PhD in Nerdology, but posting a obviously religious topic, like Mac versus PC, or EMACS versus vi would have been too obvious. Call him a poster troll;-)
I totally understand. In college (early 90's) I had an Amiga 1200 that could do more than my roomates Mac- with only a fraction of the resources. I think the biggest factor in bloatware is simply the speed with which people want projects done. If it "Just Works" then there is no longer a business reason to go back and make it work better, even if it would make for better code. Even a savings in speed may or may not be worth it, especially if the difference is only a handful of seconds.
I'd start by looking back in the early days of coding. Punchcards even. With all of the limitations on memory, storage, and processor, the coders had to make everything work as effeciently as possible. I'd also look at the demo scene. I remember some crazy long, graphic and audio intesive demos that my friend showed me on his Amiga 2000 that were fairly long to boot.
Once you know what those techniques were, and the way things are done today (that require 10 times the resources to do a fraction as much), you'd have a fairly decent baseline I'd think.
What if I'm curious one day but not curious the other day?
Will that dramatically affect my user experience?
YES! Slashdot runs on the Schoedinger Inc., Curiosity Wave Reaction Vessel®. If you're NOT curious slashdot will simply cease to exist. Something about curiosity killing the cat...
If we weren't such a nation of whiners we could just enjoy the majesty that comes with sonic booms, and remember that there is more to aviation than riding the cattle-car from Duluth to Sioux Falls.
And yes, I am bitter that aviation has been sanitized to the point where its magic and glory are consigned to a Golden Age decades ago.

It sounds like there were spending too much time fantasizing about their profits, 'cause it sounds like things are getting pretty hairy over there...

"On what grounds, counselor?"
"It really hurts our case."
Good for the Judge. Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean you automatically have a remedy.

The short answer is: Python.
Personally I only do extreme, object oriented programming in COBOL, so I have nothing new to offer.
Only because its Monday. It'll make more sense tomorrow.

The Wii already has Brawl, so I don't think there's going to be too much of an uproar.
Putting the "slash" in slashdot, eh? ;-)
Uh, how about, so they can track the people making fraudulent loans regardless of what identity they assume? Maybe?
