Comparing perforce to git is a poor comparison. git is a distributed VCS. If you want a commercial equivalent to git, look at bitkeeper. svn and cvs are better comparsions to source safe.
Many of these run on prosperity gospel. Basically attending the church and giving to it is an investment in time and money that people expect to have repaid on this earth.
There are some aspects of cults that are significantly different from established religions.
* Cutting people off from family and friends and/or society * Trust the cult above all else (note that this is different from say Christianity, which would make the bible the authority rather than the church) * demanding money * Emotional manipulation
I'd say that someone people might consider the last one something that all religions do anyway. However this is a difference between what most religions do and cults like scientology, which have multiple people working on one new person or leave that person without any time alone. Some cults assign people as a mentor figure, someone who is to be more trusted than family/friends/etc.
Some might also see the second last as a feature of most major religions, however there is a difference between asking for money and demanding it. Scientology takes it a level higher than most cults by demanding money for religious documents. I think it is almost alone among 'religions' in this aspect.
Of course, you do sacrifice SCM integration with your IDE. But, IMHO, it's a worthwhile tradeoff.
Speaking as someone who has moved from a tortoise svn + VS.Net 2K5 to TFS + VS.Net 2K5, it ain't just a worthwhile trade off, it is a good thing. TFS has some issues, but even if it weren't broken in a number of areas, the problem is SCMs are oriented towards managing files and IDEs are oriented towards managing projects. They don't always co-incide. For example, adding a new file to project does not mean it needs to be added to SCM. Equally some files might often be managed by something other than the IDE.
Hitler allowed one of his closest people to be gay (Ernst RÃhm)
Really. A better description of the situation is Hitler tolerated RÃhm's sexual preferences as he needed RÃhm. Once he was secure enough to remove RÃhm, he did so.
Too many steps. I've worked in the construction industry and the fax machine is embedded there and will continue to be for quite some time.
1. You are working with paper drawings. Sure you might have an electronic document behind it, but marking up drawings and sketches are always paper. There is no clean way to markup drawings on screen. In addition, people might be on site where there are no computers. 2. Fax machines can be plugged into any POTS line. Scan + PDF + email involves a machine + a scanner + more skills than many people on construction sites have.
These days putting together a machine is just putting things in the holds that fit. If it doesn't fit, you have the wrong hole. The only way you break equipment is by forcing something where it fits. This isn't the good old days where you could plug in a processor incorrectly.
Your examples: - heat sink, most processors ship with a heat sink that has a small area of heat sink compound, no need for paste. - most cases ship with the more that the necessary number of screws - Memory modules, what do you mean about order. The only issue is to ensure that you get your memory modules in matching slots if it is dual channel RAM. Even then, most computers will display an error if you get it wrong rather than blowing the RAM. - cabling, generally not a worry unless you are packing your machine - HDD screws, depends on the case
Frankly, I'd be pretty confident that my parents (>60, never seen the inside of a machine) could put one together with just the component parts and the instructions they ship with.
Sure, but in Australia approximately half the population is centered in 2 cities: Sydney and Melbourne. Why isn't there decent service in those two locations?
The primary motivation against prostitution comes from females, who loathe it like all businesspeople loathe competition. These days success in business comes easiest to those who seize the law to ban their competition, and women-in-general have done exactly this.
That is unfair. Women could loathe prostitution because it cheapens all women, not because it provides them with competition. In fact I'd say that isn't unfair, that is insulting.
Because one of the side effects of EA's changes make it very hard to install at a later date. On the other hand with games purchased via steam you can back them up and install them at a later date.
The previous Prime Minister, John Howard, was a "devout" (read - fundamentalist) Christian.
Really? I'm one of those you might characterise as a fundimentalist Christian. Based on your description I think the word you might be looking for is committed rather than fundimentalist.
Howard was and is a pew warmer. His committment as a Christian is largely a product of the time he grew up in.
Slashdot Mirror
Quite, you need an engineering degree for that.
Everyone know that engineers are always experts in all fields.
Just ask any engineer.
Keep multiple inheritance. Java and C# are somewhat crippled by the lack of multiple inheritance.
That is incorrect. A language may enforce limitations on the compiler that may block it from further optimisation.

No.

My wife also asks me for fashion advice. Taste in clothes and reading /. are not mutually exclusive, just rare.

You've got a weird setup. Why did you rename winzip.exe to winword.exe?
In XP you can go: Press Start button, type "winword", hit enter. And you open MS Word using a CLI-like interface.
And there are only three Indiana Jones Movies.
You will always be voting for a lesser evil. You might as well point at that by voting for someone you are voting for an evil SOB.

Actually you can't get out of installing windows genuine advantage, however you can avoid installing windows genuine advantage notification.
Recently (~3 months ago) however Microsoft ignored your earlier preference not to show this as an update and tried to push as a critical update again.
Because this is such an accurate comparison.
The C64 had no net connection. A net connection means a completely different ball game.

So how is a gun any different than a screwdriver, brick, hammer, etc.?
Scale. There is much more potential for a gun to kill someone either accidentally or deliberately.
There are two ways to look at that figure. The other is that Microsoft is better in the business environment.
Of course, it probably doesn't help MS that Vista isn't exactly setting the world on fire.
Actually I think the problem is that it is setting the world on fire, one latop at a time.
