I never even heard that the former German president was married before. Now I know his wife is suspected of being a former prostitute. Yep she is achieving her stated goals allright...
Actually they do not. The USAF does range control and the EELV launchers are manufactured and handled by ULA : United Launch Alliance which is a joint operation by Boeing and Lockheed Martin. X-37B is done by Boeing for the USAF although there was a demonstrator of it which was run by NASA.
Adobe are a bunch of pricks. Seriously. The movie industry people offered to pay a wallop of money for them to port their apps to Linux and had to end up with paying CodeWeavers to ensure Adobe apps (mostly Photoshop) run on Linux under their version of Wine. The changes are rolled back into Wine proper. Adobe had Linux versions of Framemaker and Acrobat Reader at one point. Thankfully FLOSS PDF readers improved to the point where their reader is no longer useful. Incredibly I have heard some of their products use Qt (Adobe Photoshop Elements) so they could port things over if they wanted to. It would take a minor miracle for them to do it however.
That's funny because we hate the current Linux desktop mostly because of the irritating application which uses the whole screen model followed by things like iOS and Unity.
Actually the first thing Steve Jobs did when he got back at Apple was to kill off the Mac clone manufacturers by withdrawing their licenses to use the MacOS software and other tidbits. Apple's own hardware sucked so terribly that people preferred to use clones from UMAX and Power Computing thus driving down Apple's profits substantially to the point they got near bankruptcy.
I stopped using Visio to use a mix of Dia and Inkscape. Then again I used to be an Illustrator user so the transition was not particularly hard for me.
Use Qt. I have never seen a better designed and documented API.
Could have been true were it not for moc. Even GTK+ is a better object oriented toolkit despite being written in C. But yeah if I was writing a multiplatform C++ app with an UI I would probably use Qt.
Actually there is a more recent version of OSS which fixes the problem it originally had which was it did not support several concurrent applications accessing the sound card at the same time properly. It is also brain dead simple to use unlike ALSA. The main problem with OSS is licensing issues. To me it seems that OpenAL is a much better end user API than either ALSA or PulseAudio.
Did you expect an OS built by programmers for programmers to have lousy programming tools? If you want to use the hip closed source editor your can get Sublime Text. The fact is the major problem with development in Linux is languages and APIs. Perhaps I should rephrase that that: the problem is Java sucks which is why Google had to bother with developing things like Dalvik and Go. The problem is Go also sucks. Sorry Rob Pike.
If you want "professional" you can buy Rational Application Developer for Linux from IBM for USD $2,280.00. It is basically Eclipse anointed by IBM for corporate dolts like you. Guess what even people at Microsoft working on the really hard problems like OS development use Emacs and Vim. You may continue to delude yourself.
Yeah but Java has many issues. The type system is broken because someone thought unsigned types and fast FP ops were not necessary. The UI has had many different implementations and all suck. Oracle does not update the runtime properly and the language itself is not evolving enough. No, redoing EJB's for the umpteenth time is not it folks. Database handling sucks for something which is supposed to be for enterprises to use. You also need to write (or generate) way too much code to be able to actually do stuff.
It has its strong points. You compile the code and the bytecode is portable basically anywhere. Libraries included. It just works (TM).

There are also the DMCA pulldowns. So yes folks Google already messes with their index. All the time.

That perhaps all those Visual Basic users are not demented after all. Basic is easier to write some things.
I does not get any better if you try to write anything complicated.
I can see the headlines now: Mt. Fuji explodes! Godzilla terrorizes Tokyo! Tokyo Tower destroyed. Giant mecha cleans up the mess.

Can't be any worse than Unity.

No, the replacement for Illustrator is Inkscape. GIMP is the replacement for Photoshop.

Hello world in Java:
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
Hello world in C:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
printf("Hello, World\n");
}
Hello world in Python:
print "Hello, World"

Microsoft seems to think Apple nailed everything. Perhaps someone should shout "developers, developers, developers" in Balmer's ear.
That would be Eratosthenes who lived ~200 BC in Ptolemaic Egypt.
Nah it will probably be as useful as the Ares I-X launch tower.
N1 rocket rollout.
Yet the Russians have launched Energia with their system and the N-1 rocket, despite its many issues, had no trouble getting to the pad either.
GPS is funded by the DoD. NASA does not do comsats. NASA is not the DoD, nor the NRO, nor NOAA. What does NASA do? Probes, ISS, Hubble, etc.
