Actually if you compare the US to Switzerland the US has fewer arms and a higher murder rate. And Switzerland is very much an apt comparison because it's a multicultural society (french, italian, and german) just like the US. Of course nobody is quite as multicultural as we are (we have significant populations from all over) but Switzerland is the best comparison to control for the effects of different cultures rubbing each other the wrong way.
So, Did Bowling for Columbine explain the Swiss higher arms, lower murder rate story? I didn't think so. That would be too honest for Michael Moore. A buffoon, once again.
A major part of the problem is that shareholders are insufficiently in the information age to do their job right. They're not exercising their rights and firing these sorts of managers, ending up with loss instead of profit.
That's the great, unexamined tragedy, the real owners *and* the customers are screwed by an out of control manegerial class that's playing with other people's money.
I haven't had that problem with 0.12 (current stable release as of writing). Since argo is installable with java web start go back, click on the link and fire it up.
If you mean real hacker as lone genius who releases software as he sees fit then sure, there isn't much use for UML there. But in a situation where you need to capture business processes and sort out the difference between what sales, finance, and marketing say they want and what they actually want UML is useful. And getting a sign off on a UML use case diagram is very useful for avoiding being the scapegoat when things go wrong. It eviscerates the ability of people to hide behind imprecise language in system descriptions.
That, in the real world is a very useful feature and pro-geek as geeks tend to get knifed in the back for building what people say they want.
That's entirely my point. Direct taxation hurts, it makes people stand up and force their govt. to be accountable for all the foolish things they wast taxpayer money on. Indirect, especially hidden, indirect taxation isn't as painful and allows for greater boondoggles, greater fraud, and greater abuse.
EU nations (in general) have a higher tax take overall than the US. I wish it were different.
I saw him on shows promoting Roger and Me and later as a commentator on a few cable shows and I've read a few written pieces by him on the internet. He's a buffoon.
If you're a fan, sorry to hear that but that won't change my own opinion based on my personal experience of the man.
I don't know, I kind of like ArgoUML myself and think it has the potential to be a decent open source entry into the field. It's functional and can produce good work today.
That only holds true if the process of freeing up all that labor doesn't grow the pie.
The truth is that the rich (1st worlders) can share the wealth by buying the poor off, they can end up like the french aristocracy and get their heads sliced or they can liberate the enslaved 3rd world from the thugs who have run their local states into the ground.
I prefer option three thank you. It maximizes morality, produced wealth, and doesn't involve too many feel good campaigns that actually screw the poor.
Just because I don't like lies about 'sweat shop' labor doesn't mean I cotton to illegality. If Wal-Mart has really been running a criminal conspiracy to end-run the union laws then let them burn. Somehow I think reality might just be a little more complicated than that.
"a little higher" was my SE european try at british understatement. Frankly I think that the VAT is one of the biggest reasons the EU is doomed to be an also ran (at best). Hiding taxation leads to higher taxation, honesty is the best policy and all that.
No, you're supposed to be mad that Walmart sweat shop goods are made by companies offering wages at higher than local scale. The fact is that if sweat shops disappeared, prices on goods would go up and wages in these countries would go *down*. That's just plain inhumane.
Actually that would be $199 before VAT (which averages about 22%). Also the higher costs of doing business in Europe mean that prices should be a little higher (snobbism costs money).
The truth is that when the Govt. funds programs that are not Constitutionally supported, there was no social contract, supine judges notwithstanding.
There is absolutely *no* justification for flow studies on ketchup coming out of anything but the Heinz company's R&D budget.
The truth is that private funding, if you can figure out how to do it, is more efficient and tends to provide better results in pretty much all areas where some countries do it privately, others do it publicly. I was just saying that we need to figure out how to create methods of financing things via micropayments that are much better than what's currently available so that *in the future* it would be practical to gain efficiency and shift basic R&D to the more efficient model.
Yeah, I'm a libertarian but what's so head in the clouds about wasting less money on overhead?
If you'd rather administer a Linux 2.4 network guess what, you're not in the target market for this solution. You probably want to use Linux over Windows as well. Guess what, XServe isn't targetted at you and probably never will be.
Give it a rest.
As for printers, they screwed up, were man enough to fix it and are likely to stick to CUPS from here on in. What would you rather have, that they stuck with some proprietary solution that didn't work as well? Silly boy.
So what makes forcibly stripping money out of people's wallets improve basic research money? The truth is that if there's something screwed up it's the inability to give micropayments for basic research. If there was a relatively frictionless way to enable top reviewers to give private grants we would probably end up with *more* basic research and less studies on the flow rate of ketchup.
From what I understand, the only differences between some pc peripherals and mac ones nowadays is that all mac peripherals have to be compatible with open firmware (IEEE-1275) for that true plug and play feeling.
To the right of my iMac I have 2 external drives, 1HD and a CD-RW which is the reason that consumer macs don't have extra bays, traditionally they kept their add on drives external. It does make 'moving things over' much easier as it's just plugging it into the firewire port of your new computer. Plus, you get to add more than 4 drives without screwing up the internal case heat load along the way. I believe the firewire device limit is 63 devices in the network.

What do you have against UML? It's a way of passing knowledge so disparate people can understand what's going on. What's wrong with that?

Are there any other decent entries out there?
I'm proud I've never contributed a dime to that buffoon's income.

I wish there weren't but part of the Bush energy plan included a push for fuel cells so there's probably govt. money mixed in there somewhere.
No worries, MS' OS registration/activation schemes will cure that. Remember, these machines are for non-computer savvy tightwads.
Congratulations, you are not in the target demographic for this machine which is non-computer savvy tightwads who want basic computer functionality.

I sense an iMac/iBook in his future (runs AOL just fine).
Actually that would be $199 before VAT (which averages about 22%). Also the higher costs of doing business in Europe mean that prices should be a little higher (snobbism costs money).
Hey, if those posters fund more space R&D I'm all for it.
Which just goes to show you that it sometimes pays to cater to deluded nutcases as interesting stuff can show up along the way.
