Your description of psychologists sounds very much like psychoanalysts to me - a kind of psychologist that, to me, rank possibly lower than a Scientologist (and slightly above a cockroach) when it comes to solving people's problems.
As opposite of "treating people" like treating lab mice.
Because I'm really tired to see people being stuffed with meds, and yes, it solved their original problem, only now they have a multitude of other psychiatric problems, etc, etc, etc
Or people going to a "BCT treatment", being subject to ridiculous treatments, like "expose them to the situation that makes their obsessive response come forth, and prevent/delay the response." Just WTF is that.
You see, psychiatry and BCTs look very good on paper, and reports, but it doesn't make them good on practice. Because it doesn't address the real causes. It is easy to ignore psychoanalysis, "debunk it", but I haven't seen people effectively cured bu BCTs (on yeah, on paper they're cured, only to commit suicide after the follow-up period, or something like that)
And the worse thing is I can't find the parent you're replying to...
"Achievement in sports" is one thing. Or better, just WTF is an "achievment in sport". Someone ran faster, swam faster, threw farther, etc, etc It may be a good PERSONAL achievent (and sometimes someone invents a new way of doing stuff in sports, usually this is forbidden just after or turned into a new sport, that's something I would call achieevemet)
But everybody else is playing baseball just the same.
Science, math, philosophy, on the other hand, is greatly benefited by a new idea, be that from a casual walk in the park or an LSD trip...
"Oh, I don't really do any coding at all"." That's not a big deal.
That is BS
It is ok for, I dunno, a discrete math prof., or maybe an algorythms professor not to code. It is NOT OK for a C++/JAVA/etc teacher NOT TO code.
It is ok if a cellular biology professor is not a practicing MD. It is NOT OK for a surgery professor to not know how to open people up and not to work with that (with the rare exception of 'I can't operate anymore with a bionic hand' kind of stuff).
Up to a point, C++ is a breeze. And then it falls. Hard.
Templates are a great idea, but guess what: strong typing makes it almost useless!! Yes, you can create thousands of different collection types with it, for pretty much everything, but it could be so much more powerful.
Or you build your 'generic thing' for a superclass, which is not generic at all.
Or you go down the 'template specialization'... not pretty.
And then you spend hours and hours trying to get a problem to get into C++ model when it would have already been solved if it was in whatever (other) language. Oh, I see, it wouldn't be OO then - except for Java (rolls eyes)
Of course, Mom and Dad don't know or choose to ignore the fact that little Junior is doing shots of whatever alcoholic beverage he can find, then chasing them with a six pack or three, right before he gets behind the wheel to drive down to his frat house, where his brothers have assembled a swap with all the sorority chicks they can find, girls whose parents think they're off in the library studying.
And apart from the DWI part, what is wrong with that again??
I can guarantee you he was not loving it. I'd bet that the first emotion that he felt was anger at whatever caused the initial deviation from normal flight,
BUT, if he managed to escape it, he surely would think it was 'unfskingomgbelievably AWESOME!!!111'
He pulled this off using insider knowledge. He worked previously in the back office, which oversaw all trading. The bank then moved him into trading, which according to statements I've read from other bankers, was practically a violation of policy.
But not letting him trade, wouldn't that be an admission of security by obscurity?
The checks and balances must work independent of they being known.
Maybe that's what happened, security by obscurity, which means no security at all.

Then if they discover a new pair of quarks it will be called VIM and EMACS then??
name dreamliner are starting to regret their decision...
No, I think it is a pretty reasonable name...
Is it ready already??? IN YOUR DREAMS!!!
I guess it would have been easier to annoy the developers by just throwing chairs at them.
I know that's the purpose. But the whole problem is "un-learning of a behavioral response" for something that is not a behavioral response.
Hence, for things that are a b. resp. it works great, for other things...

I hope you don't work on the Sabbath, cause that's a killing...
Yes, who would have thought that the real god is actually some noddles and two meatballs that first created a midget.
But here's the real paradox, how can there be meatballs before cows...

Not really, but the problem is pretty much the same in Java / C# (its worse in Java, though)
I second that, absolutely.

Except that, at 50Hz, they are not a lot useful since you can't stare at them for too long without frying your eyes...
(Yes, I've tried)

I prefer putting the blame on ClearCase...
And what about the cost of bleeping the 'dirty' parts to sell the CDs at Wal-Mart??
Wow, that's like, coming from a very narrow range...
But my suggestions are:
Python - go learn why strong-typing doesn't mean a lot in practice (except for headaches).
Lisp / Haskell / whatever - go learn ' a different way' of programming things. Trust me, it rocks.
Ruby / ECMAScript - it's the future baby.
they have things like Milk, OJ, IceCream (real) and other things like that.
Why would they go to all the trouble of flying OJ Simpson into space then putting him into a fridge is just beyond me...
Well, did you get a Beta?? Those are the best!
Amen brother!!!
But I would also add:
s/PVCS/Clearcase
And YOU BET I would do that, exactly as you say.
I guess it works with Wind as well...
Take great engineers, put them in a crappy company and they'll not be that bright.
Most of the problems (of people sucking) are inside the companies: philosophy work environment, colleagues, etc.
It wasn't an anti-satellite missile. It was an anti-missile missile [wikipedia.org],
I'm waiting for the anti-(anti-missile missile) missile

It may be pretty cool... if you don't get hurt.
No, they should use an ENTERPRISE system (most lieky a piece of crap made by BIG_NAME_VENDOR that costs an arm and a leg that encrypts using ROT13)
