Actually there are folks in the hard sciences who look at the elegant design of the universe and conclude that there must therefore have been a designer.
This is the same kind of bogus philosophy that has been used by dictators throughout history as a justification to enslave the masses and by aristocracy to justify not educating the poor. It is itself motivated by the fear that if the common folk understood how they were being ripped off by the upper classes that they would do something about it.
How comforting it must have been to a first century Christian to be fed to a lion.
Any time you read something written in ancient times you have to consider that their culture and way of thinking is not the same as a modern person. The Bible wasn't written as a science book and common people of this time didn't put as much importance on accurate measurement as we do.
From the other side, I know a guy whose brother is in India and he says he has a hard time finding top programmers in India now because the best ones are all already working for IBM or some other Fortune 100 company that pay better than a small company will offer and also like the prestige of the well known company.
Also, a lot of programmers in the US were laid off in the last couple of years that are very good but were just laid off because of corporate greed, so I don't think the US market is lacking by a long shot.
I've worked with good programmers and bad programmers both in India and the US and I don't see a prevalence of good or bad in either country.
The proof: Toyota RAV4 EV. Based on 14 year old technology this thing can go 100-120 miles on a charge. Some of the original battery packs have lasted 150k miles.
The battery tech was there. It worked. Hell, it is still working as 750 of these are still on the road!
Most companies I have worked for, the acquiring company wants to see the architecture and code of the company they are acquiring to make sure they aren't buying crap. I know several companies we looked at acquiring at my old company were passed over because their code / architecture was junk.

Yup. Google was my first thought as well, although I was thinking Google Chrome. I'm not a fan of the Google style...
Not sure what you are talking about. I've been doing it correctly since 2001...
Windows already does that since Vista.
It's not proper OS support on Windows it's developers who know WTF they are doing. Microsoft told people how to do this in 2001. Few listened.
Microsoft added support to bail out such devs in Vista, but that does fuzz things up a bit...
Worth watching what NSA is doing.

If it's so great, why is the NSA porting their SELinux stuff to Android?

Yes. The best predictor of a child's success in school is the involvement of the parents.
He was also anti corporation.

At the same time, the purpose of the writing was not to produce a science book and ancients put less importance on accurate measurement than moderns.

Against the law? Um yeah, he was convicted.
Convicted of 15 felonies, serving 30 days. Seems out of whack to me.
Saw another case where a guy in Ohio videotaped a woman taking a shower in his own house and got 7 years plus had to register as a sex offender.
I'm not gay but I don't understand why videotaping gay sex gets less prison than videotaping a naked woman. Just sayin'...
It seems to me to be the opposite.
Look at similar cases. A guy in Ohio videotapes a woman in the shower in his own house, and he gets 7 years and has to register as a sex offender.
This guy videotapes gays and gets 30 days.
If there was favoritism towards gays, this guy would have gotten more than 30 days...
Did you say Atanasoff-Berry? It was an evolution, like all science and technology.
Still not a lard ass, though. Pretty lame that you have to resort to that kind of thing. Bad form.
What do you do for exercise that you are so fit? I do Tae Kwon Do.
Of course not me. How old do you think I am? :-)
fatty? Ah, another intrepid bigot who thinks that all Americans are fat. I'm not fat so get over it.
Without ENIAC the rest of the industry would not have happened.
Stock options?
Yeah, because all Americans are neither professional nor serious and never get the job done... Racist much?
Who do you think invented this industry?
Meh. Maybe 10 years ago, but not now.

I knew I should have bought stock in Anonymizer yesterday...
Not ready? BS!
