I addressed it in terms of closed source; I apologize for not making that apparent. A perfectly-written, free, open-source software package will, yes, yield nothing of revenue. But both ways, making tech support the revenue focus rather than the supplement of a product is a Bad Idea IMHO and has failed as a business plan for many small companies.
Just because software is intuitive doesn't mean it does everything you'll want it to in a year or two. You make your money via product enhancement, not by fucking someone up and charging them to fix it. That's just asking for problems, not least of which is Bad Karma.
Forget movies; the big application for this is old war footage. When you see footage of Nazi Germany in color, suddenly it goes from distant black-and-white storytelling to something as real as the air you breathe. Same thing with footage of the concentration camps. And what about photos of the Civil War?
The color helps keep that history genuine to our eyes and minds and relevant to the problems we face today and everyday.
Anything that can clarify the law is good, even if it means a little bit of redundancy. In multiple U.S. Constitution amendments you'll see, "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." Such power is already implied, but it does no harm to re-declare.
We owned the world at the end of WW2 when we had nukes and everyone else didn't.
Missile defense both requires and justifies long-term R&D, not half-assed political stunts.
We won't have the do-all be-all defense system right off the bat, but then again, the first automobiles didn't have cruise control either.
Who's to say that the offender didn't cause the same to the victim's family, or the family of a wife of the victim's friend? That would mean that the side effect of the offender's punishment hurting his own family is just.
But because no human being is omniscient and knows every ripple of every action, we stick with what we can reasonably quantify. And with few exceptions, we find that it tends to work just fine.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This applies physically as well as socially. Everything must be answered for. Waiting for the afterlife to accomplish that, just isn't prudent or helpful to any of us. "To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace."
Say that enough times and you can just throw out everything we call "empirical evidence". Which is pretty much the birthchild of the scientific process.
Wherever I worked, it was never uncommon to see EE's adapting to roles in software development. They aren't the best at it, and they don't have all the software theory down pat, but they get the job done.

Ha! That's not enough to absolve you of your blunder!
But I bet I haven't seen a cheesier reply to date!
When you're already working a job, the main limited resource with pursuing a degree on the side isn't brainpower or ability, it's spare time.
And you look like the ultimate dunce by completely ignoring or overlooking the context of the message.

No. Execution engines are being replicated via multicore, not the memory.
Just what we need from PC land, another eternal victim of something or another.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that. But "eye for an eye" means "no more than an eye in response".
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This applies physically as well as socially. Everything must be answered for. Waiting for the afterlife to accomplish that, just isn't prudent or helpful to any of us. "To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace."
"An eye for an eye" was meant as a layman's rule of thumb for limiting penalties, not increasing them.
Your signature says "V.44" but I think that would be "V 2.44". The major number is the constitution version.

You got it man. We wouldn't be doing any favors for the future of computing by hiding in a cave.
Which do you find more interesting? The pot calling the kettle black or the pot correcting the kettle's spelling? :)

Marked as a troll? What, is it a sin to present any kind of viewpoint that doesn't say the absolute best about John Kerry?
Why is this marked insightful? Because killjoe attacked Bush?
What, is $200 billion the rule of thumb for determining a legitimate war? Without regard to any of that "national security" stuff?
If I were you I'd read up a little more on Linux before saying that it's the same as Windows...
Wonderful. Oh, by the way, would you also happen to have something relevant to say?
