No it doesn't inocent people are actively trying (and failing) to get their DNA removed from the database now.

Whilst the existance of a DNA record for previously innocent people is questionable in terms of human rights the power it has for tracking down people who have commited crimes is huge. The recent case in the UK of the murderer in suffolk is an good example.
If the police are using it to arrest criminals I have no issue with it. Once my life insurance company and employer can use it for screening I have HUGE issues with it.
why can't you compile it? I haven't looked at the RQMs but I'm guessing they are all freely available from MSDN?
As a research tool aimed at people actually looking into OS and compiler developent this is a usefull tool. If you're not interested don't just flame MS because you think that all code should be open for re use.
It is free (as in beer) it just isn't free to be re used and re sold in comercial tools.
MS have spent many many (expensive) man hours developing all this and I for one think it's a good thing to have the code and the thoughts in the open.
we've had similar issues.
I've found that once you have the process documented it's a good idea to get someone other than the author to run through it. We do this by rotating people on and off the various tasks. This means that after a year or so the entire team knows how to do any one job, all the processes are documented and well optimised and if anyone's hit by a bus we can move on.
Of course it also means we can sack anyone without cause for concern but if you're good this won' be a worry for you!
See if you can get a senior manager to run the jobs of the mail room clerk or something similar for a day!
Lot's of large organizations are still mandating IE6 ONLY on the internal PCs. We are not scheduled to be rolling out IE7 untill 3rd qtr this year. The intranet sites that have alot of functionality and do not work in IE7 are the biggest cause for concern.
Just because you'd rather use does not mean that you either can or are authorised to do so.
4 - 5 weeks is rediculous to be honest,
if you automate the build - test - packaging you and probably reduse the time taken here to effectivly 0.
look at some tools to make your life easier, team foundation server if you're a MS shop, Cruise control and JUnit if you're not. Once you get used to having a full set of unit tests run for you every time you check in a fix to the main tree you'll never go back to a waterfall aproach.
We aim to get a fix built, tested and ready for release in 2 - 4 hours from the point at which the programmer is given the task.
System 6.0.8 is not only a lot more compact since it has far fewer (mostly useless) features and therefore less code to process, but also because it was written in assembly code instead of the higher level language C. The lower the level of the code language, the less processing cycles are required to get something done.
probably to reduce the size of the index, if 2^24 index values is deemed to be enough then why make those index pages any bigger than they need to be, the shorter the indexed value then the more indexes you pull back with a single IO operation and the faster you can search the index I believe.
thanks for that, I got it from a quotes of the day ages ago..
it does say on wiki quote: With the information thus far available the issue of authorship of the statement is not yet definitely resolved, but the evidence indicates it was very likely Franklin.
whoever wrote it it's a good quote in this case.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
that seems to be relavent in this case
I may be coming at this with some out of date knoledge, but when I did my Biochemistry MSc there were several bacteria (Prokaryotes) that had RNA Genomes.
Please can you at least try to get fundamental facts right in your articles.
If you don't know the answer to a problem, research it don't guess.

bandwidth is so cheep that the next free open social networking site will set up the next day, remember friends reunited ?
