A properly trained, incentivized and provisioned Java team can run rings around a Perl team in terms of working code produced, as well as (more importantly) cost to develop and cost to maintain.
and a python team can do it in half the time, and half the code
Yes I am being paid for my banking/business skills. That does not mean that I have not studied CS, It was just not my major. The same thing could be said about physicists, chemists, engineers, etc. The software I design is integrated into a fully scalable production trading platform, where good design is a necessity, not a luxury. CS very much interested me, but I realized long ago that if I brought something more to the table than a CS degree, I'd get paid for it.
The number of people graduating with CS degrees is not an accurate measure of shortfall in the industry. I for one do not have a CS degree, but a Masters Degree in Financial Management, and am currently taking financial engineering coursework. All my programming experience is self taught, and I develop quantitative trading strategies for an investment research firm / hedge fund. I may not be a master in any one language, but am able to put together computer models in C++, R (SPLUS), python, etc. There are many people out there who are working in software development that are not from a CS background, but with in depth knowledge of a specific field. I suggest for anyone entering the software development field to develop the understanding of a specific field, and develop your computer skills along the way. I did this, and my pay is now much higher than it would be, had if I majored in computer science.
who needs to get a prescription for a light bulb, etc?
My son has autism, maybe if we did the same in the US I could get my health insurance to foot the bill. Better yet, they could pay my electric bill for having to use the incandescents too.
I have a son who is on the Autistic Spectrum, and while I would love to solely use CFLs (they are more efficient), my son is extremely sensitive to the flicker that these lights produce. This is just not an option in my household, regardless of the benefits.
I just spoke with tracfone public relations. They are not affected by the ruling. The freedom wireless patent keeps track of billing on the network. Tracfone's technology keeps track of your billing on your cellphone.

the wiki link answers your own question: The Netezza appliance is composed of an embedded database server (originally based on PostgreSQL).
