There's nothing wrong with it,
When one is building small applications that they never intend to maintain or grow.
If you, however, want to build an application that has continuity from front to back, an application that can change and grow with little effort as requirements shift over time... etc etc... then OO is really the way to go.
I remember about 10 years ago... I was working on a RTOS using nothing more then C to develop a window manager for a amber terminal... The fact that I was using C didn't keep me from implementing a system using an OO methodology. Later... when someone asked me to add a new feature to the system. I did so in less then five minutes. It's those moments that really make OO worth it. All the time... even with data... which... believe it or not... Screen layouts and definitions turn out to be.
I do agree that there is a disconnect between SQL and the OO model... but that would be better solved by creating a single language to replace both SQL and OO (C#, Java, etc...).
I went to the web site...
I registered for the 100Gb account...
I'm still waiting for my auto-confirmation...
Now the site says...
There's now a 10Gb limit !!!
But it's a bit "silly" to say that the other two men have none. Gates and his wife change peoples lives every day w/ the charities they're involved in. And Jobs... iPod... Pixar... he's kind of a self made man. W/ super cool ideas.
If these people had no money... I imagine that they'd still be innovating and changing ppls lives.
I too am tired of legistators passing laws they have no intention of having enforced... unless it's against some 9yr old kid listing to Blink 182 on Kazaa... I mean eDonkey.
Seems a bit silly to me that corporations can put together schemes by which employees are expected to bid for work, (Allthough completely in line with the notion of a free economy.), while at the same time, they can lobby the government to outlaw certain employees from qualifying for overtime (Specifically the tech industry)!
I for one would be willing to bid for a job. This way my employer and I would see eye to eye on the effort it would take to complete a project successfully. No need to start quibbleing about over time if I win a bid on either fixed cost or time and materials.
As far as the rant about over time goes... I for one am willing to put in a percentage of reasonable over time. One of the main reasons is that my employer is reasonable when it comes to letting me take care personal issues. But this arrangement has it's limits... in both directions.
You may not "have" to pay overtime... but I don't "have" to work it either... and if you're willing to throw down your trumph card... IE. fireing me... we're all better off.
I personally know a secretary turned "programmer". She's still in the industry to this day. I don't think that she knows anything about computers other then HTML + PageMaker = MealTicket.
Just a few days ago she told me she was interviewing for another position. The title was developer / analyst. They wanted someone w/ HTML experience to learn another scripting language. While I was on the phone w/ her she was feverishly trying to locate information on both items so that she could be "prepared".
Beyond all of this my company has been looking to hire an entry level developer. I've interviewed countless people. All of which have resumes filled with the best sounding buzz words. However, the interviews usually go something like this: Q:Your resume lists SQL on it? A:Yes. Q:You do know that you list SQL on your resume? A:Yes. Q:Does that mean that you know SQL? A:Ummm... No.
Q:Your resume says that you know OOAD? A:Yes. Q:How would you rate your OO skils? A:I wouldn't want to say 10... so I'll say 9. Q:Please define the keyword Class / What is a class? A:What do you mean define "Class"... I can't define "Class"... I haven't heard the definition for "Class" since I was in College. What good is it to know that definition.
As it turned out that candidate didn't say 10 because that would, no doubt, be the lie that took them straight to HELL. Instead they went for the lesser lie of 9. That'll get you 2 - 24 in pergatory.
As far as their explaination of Class. It remined me of things that high school students say about math. When will I ever use this?
I even had someone come into an interview w/ a SQL pocket reference! He reasoning was... "If you found me at my desk with a reference book... you'd take it away from me?". He didn't know that much about SQL. And refused to use his little book. I would pick up the book. Flip to the index. Find the key word in question. Hand the book back to them. But still they wouldn't use it.
"That would allow any program written for Windows to run on Linux or Mac, and vice-versa..."
Did the person who posted the article read it?
As far as I can tell... It speaks nothing of running your Wondows software under your Linux OS. It says that you could run your Windows OS on any "chip".
I think the real problem is the confusion as to what the word "platform" means. It doesn't just refer to Windows vs. Linux vs. MacOS. It could refer to one compiler vs. another compiler. It could refer to one chip vs. another (as in this case). For example: the PowerPC chip vs. the Intel chip.
The article specificly talks about the xBox issue this software could solve:
"For example, Wiederhold said QuickTransit will allow the next-generation Xbox (which will have a Mac-like PowerPC chip) to run first-generation Xbox software (which was written for an Intel chip)."
