What is more like the OP is saying is that the corporations like MS et al have to live within the system as it exists now, even if they want to change it. That means for their survival, they must patent and challenge other patents, since they actually make a product. I believe there is sense in this. I also happen to agree that these business method patents are ridiculous. I also believe that MS should have won this case, and I wouldn't be surprised if the SCOTUS split along party lines again.
What is productive age. Even if it is infrequent that someone say older than 80 comes up with a world shattering idea, is this a reason not to encourage everyone who is willing to make the effort? Your work should speak for itself with no consideration for age. I am assuming your source is a good one since it looks like you took some effort to dig it up... So it is a good thing that people didn't listen to Nobel's wishes too closely. The age part is ridiculous and discriminatory. Great discoveries are ageless. And now that people are living ever longer, in ever greater health, this applies even more.
It is interesting to see so much Oracle demand, but Oracle encompasses many areas now. The database, financials, etc. At one time if they listed Oracle, it meant they wanted either someone who was good at PL/SQL, maybe Oracle Forms, or as an Oracle DBA. But now that isn't the case any more. For example, around this area (Greater Toronto Area), if they ask about Oracle, they are talking more often than not about Oracle Financial applications. But the ads only list 'Oracle' as a requirement (HR people without a clue as to what they are asking for). But there are a ton of other Oracle apps. So the one number for Oracle they give in this survey is misleading.
Which is why John Nash won a Nobel Prize for economics... i.e. no math Nobel, and no Field's Medal for an old man. It is why I say that Intelligence and Stupidity are NOT mutually exclusive (talking about how the Fields Medal is awarded, not John Nash). Stupidity to me is more closely related to wisdom, or how you do or do not apply your intelligence. It is why we all can do stupid things. Trust me. I know.:D
The Fields Medal is not granted to anyone who has passed their 40th birthday. So a lot of great mathematicians who have done great work after this age, or whose work was not recognized until after they were 40 will not be / were not awarded. This is ridiculous. If you are going to recognize great work, age should not play a part. It is not right. It also means that the Fields Medal is not comparable to the Nobel Prize which does not discriminate based on age.
Considering English is a Germanic language, Or do you mean the readability of English with all those French and Latin words that have been added to our old German over the past 1000 years? I'm guessing you would be happier if you could find a 'pure, untainted' language to speak. Why don't you try Esperanto? What would the founding fathers of the U.S.A. say about this? I'm not sure, but after they had their plantation foreman beat the slave that just tried to run away, fucked the housemaid slave and then sat on the porch to think about it, I'm sure they would agree that they like the fact that teabaggers are trying to get back to their value system.
You are right. Killing them isn't mandatory. It is also too good for them. But considering the fact that it is the ivory towers that shield them from understanding what justice is, I don't know what more 'education' will do. Don't get me wrong, I believe in education. But what is needed is to evict these people from their towers so they have to live in the real world; and then tear the towers down. The problem is that they make so much money, and their world is so insular that they don't have to join the real world, and they don't care to. They also are a self regulating industry. It needs to be disrupted so that it is changed into a justice system.
There is a thought that if you have a very large army you have to use it on external targets every now and then. Otherwise it will get bored and start flexing internally. Kind of like banana republics that have extensive (for their size) militaries but aren't quite big enough to safely fight anyone around them. Eventually they turn on themselves and the generals become presidents for life. Given that America spends more on their military than the rest of the world combined, they need to continually be fighting, or else the next white house will be the pentagon. The other option is to stop spending so much on the military so they can afford to take care of their own people without worrying about the budget ceiling all the time.
The first thought I had was infomercials. This is a 200 dollar value but you get it for 19.99; a more than 180 dollar savings. OK, so who said it was worth 200 dollars to begin with. Sounds like NASA hedged their bets in case it fucked up right away. Which lead to thoughts of software project management. Kind of like how software project estimates should work. Give management an estimate that is more expensive and too long and then brag when you come in under time and budget. Of course now-a-days pointy haired fucktards and project managers out to make a name for themselves give estimates too short and cheap and then force too few people from overseas to work too many hours to get it done on time; and fuck it all up. Then they blame the contractors and overseas slave labour, pat each other on the back and use each other as references in order to fuck up on another project. Good old business school grads, what would we do without you? But where were we? Oh yeah. Good on you NASA!
Lately 'Law' is the only goal. Justice used to be the goal. This is what happens when lawyers are placed too high on the pedestal. What we need is a good old fashioned pogrom against lawyers. Starting with IP lawyers. Take your pick where you want to start next.
Can someone write a computer book that doesn't either require weight training in order to hold the book (stuff your kindle up your ass I hate them), or six years to read? Most of the time the amount of useful information in these books only constitutes a small subset of the pages. Do these people think quantity makes quality? These authors should take a lesson from Kernighan and Ritchie.
Icon size is my one big... make the really BIG complaint with KDE and especially their file managers like Dolphin. I agree they should be way smaller. And the icon size in Dolphin should not be linked to icon size in any other part of the desktop. The other big waste of space that I abso-fucking-lutely hate, is the lack of MS style list layout of files in the file manager. I don't like the columns layout... fuckit, I don't like any of the ways they display files in a directory in Dolphin. I want an MS style list. Show me all the files in as small a space, without being a jumbled and icon filled mess.
I agree also with keeping visual junk the fuck off the screen real estate.

And that reminds me of the grossest cartoon in a magazine that I've ever seen. It was in Hustler about 25 years ago. I'll let you imagine it yourself.

There are still radio broadcasts from the dayside, so we're OK this time.

Wouldn't it be ironic if they used a root kit? Or would that be poetic justice?
Damn them all to hell those stinking fucking serfs.

Check back in 30 years and it will link to the real article.
OK, you make a joke with plank instead of planck. :P
The kid's video is still fucking lame. The Nimoy video is fucking hilarious. Thanks very much for posting that link.

No, no. He's measuring the distance in board feet.
They talk about a winning team and then post a picture of some other team's entry. WTF? I'm curious as to what the winning entry looked like.
Yeah, I'm sure Kernighan and Ritchie wrote 'for dummies' books. Sorry, maybe they are the only thinner computer books that you are familiar with.

I think he was in the second star wars movie, but was cut from the final release.
