You're missing the point of UBI. You get UBI while you have a job also! That's "Universal".
So the salary for the job you take can be lower than UBI, because you get it in addition to UBI.
It's not free to go to the library.
It costs me $3 in gas and wear and tear on my car. And I have to take the books back for the same price.
Even with multiple books/trip it still averages over a $1 just to borrow a book.
I am disappointed by the articles "brighter news" section.
The research showed that the average literacy of college students is significantly higher than the rest of the adult population. The study leaders said "that was encouraging but not surprising", attributing it to "the spectrum of adults includes those with less education".
I am disappointed that they seemed to be inferring that higher education caused the additional literacy proficiency. The article (and I highly suspect the research) doesn't show that higher education _causes_ higher literacy. It only shows that being enrolled in college _correlates_ with higher literacy.
Of course it does - there are tests to get IN! Those with lower literacy don't get admitted to college as much as those with higher literacy.
Unless the research measured literacy before college and after college, and measured literacy at the same ages for people outside of college over the same span of time, and isolated the impact of other factors, it doesn't show the anything approaching causality. And it didn't, the survey (according to the article, I haven't read the study) only measured the literacy of students nearing the end of their degree programs, compared to another study's results on a general adult population.
I'm concerned about the study leaders' ability to interpret the results of a study. I don't see any reason why the higher results of college students is "encouraging", given college entrance criteria.
I was going to do it. Then I realized that if I do I won't be able to read a book without glasses when I'm old. My nearsightedness will be taken away, but I'll still get the other affliction that is related to getting older.
I'd prefer to be able to read a book/screen without glasses 'till I die.
1. Clearcase is admittedly new to Linux, but as for kernel modifications if you don't build your Linux kernel with what an application needs then yes of course you have to rebuild it with them if you want to run the application.
2. Yes Clearcase does require good connections if you plan to see all the updates in real time. But seeing updates in real time without a developer's manual or scheduled update of the local workspace is a benefit that not offered with many other systems.
3. Yes the windows GUI tools are better even in the latest versions of Clearcase. Windows users use them more than command line, many Unix users use command line more. I work with vobs hosted on Unix and accessible from both Unix and NT. The best of both worlds.
4. If you choose to check in large numbers of similar binary files that aren't diff'able then of course you're going to have to use lots of space. You don't have to do that to use the configuration record saving features of Clearcase. You have to tune only if you want great performance even though you went that unnecessary route.
5. The design allows a workspace to look just like a filesystem even though it can be manipulated by file version without changing the files you've modified. I can't speak to _how_ "inferior" it may be to TCP/IP but neither did you - you just said it was.
6. I thought we were talking about Clearcase, not issue and defect tracking tools. The DDTS replacement Clearquest can use Oracle instead of Access. All features that aren't GUI related are provided on both Unix and Windows.
7. Yes it costs money. It's a good product. It has features that can make parallel development easier than other source control tools. The people "babysitting" the vobs should be facilitating the developers. The vobs do their job with no help.
I don't work for Rational but I love Clearcase.
If you are in a small shop anything will do. If you want developers in 3 cities across the US to work together on the same project only Clearcase will do.

The lack of features IS the expensive feature. Because of that the volume is low and the price per unit is higher to make it, I would expect.

Exactly! But not just the planets; all objects inside the solar system plus those outside that will be entering over the time considered.

What if it could simultaneously record and playback?! How about TiVo for radio?
