Once upon a time, when computers were not available to all, when it required an investment and expertise to write software, the higher barrier to entry essentially insured that, basically, only well qualified people were writing software.
Today, when anyone with 25 cents can write and compile software, it shows, I believe, in a lower overall quality of software and documentation. In those days I loved my software job; today the software overall sucks so bad I can't stand my job anymore.
This javascript 'enhancement' will only make the problem worse. If like me you think software sucks bad, just wait.
He punctuated crashing the economy by spending nearly 2 months that summer clearing brush on his home ranch
Isn't it ironic, if GW hadn't been born with a silver spoon in his mouth he would have probably ended up with a job of clearing brush, the only thing he has proved good at, at minimum wage.
We have conservatives constantly bashing science, telling us the universities are bad places because people learn to think there and that is bad, and you claim that liberals can't think?
Your inability to think, and your need to parrot what the right has told you to say, comes through loud and clear.
High Frequency Trading is the equivalent of 'shaving', the practice of shaving a small amount from gold coins, then passing the coins on. It produces nothing, it only steals from the flow of wealth.
Actually, it seems you can be perfectly hydrated in that environment.
A few years ago a small group in a life raft was rescued (off the coast near San Francisco) after several weeks at sea, and they were all perfectly hydrated, yet had no basic source of water other than the ocean.
A nurse with the fishing party had a kit that included surgical tubing. With the tubing she regularly gave the occupants of the life raft enemas of salt water. The lower intestine, designed to remove water from the waste stream, proved capable of extracting salt free moisture from the sea water, enough to keep the victums hydrated.
Next time I go out on the sea I will take an enema bulb in my gear!
Two powerful interests clash and the outcome is a Solomonic splitting of the baby This happens when powers collide. For the life of me I can't derive 'political correctness' from any of this, perhaps you could explain further.
In the 'old' days when I worked with software, I knew what I had. Punch cards, core dumps, later DOS, wysiwyg. Now everything lies. Windows hides stuff, Linux hides crap, browsers hide stuff. How the hell is one supposed to know what is going on, particularly when trying to troubleshoot/debug stuff when even the software lies?
By the way, I don't know what software slashdot uses, but trying to write this post was annoying, I kept loosing the insertion point and couldn't navigate the text!
Can someone smarter than me explain why my factual statement was modded down to zero?
From wikipedia: "Many scientists are now using the term and the Geological Society of America titled its 2011 annual meeting: Archean to Anthropocene: The past is the key to the future."
Slashdot Mirror
Please get therapy, you clearly need it.
"The Court does not have the power of arrest."
How is it then that people go to jail for contempt of court?
Your debunking is staggeringly brilliant!
Boo fucking Hoo for you.
Thanks for leaving, you weren't missed.
Please post your evidence that modern San Francisco, designed mostly after the 1906 earthquake, was build around pedestrian convenience.
Protecting the wealthy, the influential and campaign contributers is a major, unsung component of protecting America.
Presumably after centuries it will no longer be radioactive.
Wow, are you a natural-born asshole, or do you have to work at it?

how these Republicans are working to shrink government and get it out of our lives?
If slashdot is so fact-free, why do you read and post here? Just curious.

I would be much less concerned if you were on his kill list.

You wouldn't know a socialist if they kicked you in the ass with a steel-toed boot, fool.
Perhaps you could elaborate: if the phone manufacturers don't make phones with blood minerals, how will you buy them from someone else?

You are so right.
Having been forced to give up Win XP and move to windos 7, I look forward to plunging an ice pick through my eye and into my brain.
my entire life, all I can say is:
what a waste of time.
No one wants to know the truth.
No one wants to know what reality actually is.
Everyone wants to live in a bubble that confirms what they already believe.
Someone please kill me.
What is wrong with this damn comment system, someone please fix this sack of crap.

Perhaps executives at SAP only make minimum wage now?
