  2. Re:That is the democratic way of dealing with it on Legalize File Sharing, Say Swedish MPs · · Score: 1

    The majority do get to define what is legal. Morality is not unchangable nor is the law.

  3. Re:tasty on Professors Slam Java As "Damaging" To Students · · Score: 1

    That's an insult to real scripting languages.
    At least VB6 was.
    VB.NET (visual fred) is a slightly different beast (although it has a known bug that will create invalid il).

  4. Re:My reaction was different on How Mainstream Can Code Scavenging Go? · · Score: 1

    Unless the intent is to solve the problem in the same way as the (probably) undocumented code. This is quite often the case where the new application must do everything the old one does plus the following new requirements...

  5. Sleep on Half of IT Workers Sleep on the Job · · Score: 1

    I had a colleague that had fallen asleep during his annual review - twice.
    He claimed that his job was boring enough the first time without having to go over it again.

  6. Re:ahem.... are you sure? on Retailer Refuses Hardware Repair Due To Linux · · Score: 1

    PC World aren't even clear about the contents of the boxes. On several occasions they have put the price labels over excludes warnings on a package. For example MS Office Developer Edition (XXXLABELXXX MS Office). Having asked if the label said includes I bought the box. When I got home it said excludes. I did get a refund despite their no refunds for open software boxes.

    Relational databases are not obsolete.

    I think you must be unaware of the some of the privately funded state Academies in the UK:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6109346.stm

    We do, unfortunately, have creationists in charge of schools in the UK and a PM (thankfully outgoing) that does not see a problem with this.

  11. Re:Good luck... on New Plan In UK For "Big Brother" Database · · Score: 1

    That seems to be the standard plan for EDS and it's ilk.

  12. Re:international issues on EU Software Patent War Ignites Again · · Score: 1

    You need to remember that there is no need for laws to be internally consistent. This makes more work for the lawyers... For example one of my university lecturers attempted to create an expert system to determine if a given individual could have a UK Passport. The legislation gives different answers depending upon the order that the law is read.

  13. This is the definition of an obvious patent on Red Hat Sued Over Hibernate ORM Patent Claim · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How can you implement an Object Realstional Mapper and not violate this patent?

  16. Re:Absolutely not on Are National ID Cards a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    The financial benefit is going to be for EDS when they get the contract. A track history of incompitence is no restriction to winning new bids.

  23. Re:Why? on Competing to Work for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Software Architects bloody well should still right code.
    Preferably the high level demo code or proof of concepts for their domain model.
    Otherwise their knowledge will become so dated that they start to lose the ability to design.
    Software Architecture Design cannot be (totaly) language agnostic.

    However Mr Gates is the Cheif Software Architect - he merely tells the other Architects what to do.

  24. Re:mySQL support on PHP 5.1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    This looks like and obvious job for sed. Dump the db contents to a text file and use sed to replace the bad dates with null.

  25. Re:Clearing up some misconceptions on Open Source Design in risk? · · Score: 1

    The ability (and right) to fork a project is almost part of the definition of an open-source project. If you can't get at the content start over somewhere else and ask for donations again. The more popular ones must have been downloaded somewhere.
