I started my son using Scratch. Its good fun if you are eight years old. But Scratch is just coding by dragging and dropping code. I suppose UML is the visual 'structured collection' thing you are talking about. Managers where I work get bitten by the idea regularly. The projects never actually work though, but I think the problem is the assumptions built into the back end of the UML environment. You pretty much have a to build a back end for every domain.
A lot of it will have gone into executive information components of the system. Ways of showing the guys in charge exactly how much money they are making from the paywall this minute. Then you have the configuration interfaces and the teams to design datasets to control how the paywall works. Then you have the engineering which actually implements the paywall. They probably wrote a proxy from scratch to do that. Then they put it through validation. This created 10000 bug reports. Thats a lot of bugs so they outsourced the bug fixing to four companies in India who approached the solutions in 223 different ways. Then the resulting code changes were merged back into the mainline with bugs closed. Nobody wanted to do the tests again which was probably a good idea for the sanity of the people involved. Then they went live.
Back when a VT terminal was my only machine I could have four sessions at a time. I think it was a feature of the terminal server, backed up with keystroke support on the terminal for changing sessions. I suppose the VT terminal could have supported the sessions as overlapping windows, and sent the change session command when focus changed. But that would have undermined the sales of VAXStations, etc.
The article discusses other projects they are looking at. Artificial lungs and way of bypassing spinal cord injuries. Its the sort of pragmatic engineering we should see more of in medicine. I hope they can deliver.
take a closer look at the email before opening any attachments. I'm pretty sure that a quick look at the headers would have revealed that the originator isn't part of the company.
I noticed a couple of things about windows: users inside the company compulsively send attachments to the point where people open them without thinking. Outlook adds external users to its address book, then hides domain name information when it displays that user. It can be hard to tell what is internal mail and what is not.
The plant operators seem to have followed procedure by shutting the plant down right after the quake, but I wonder if things would have turned out better if they had not done that.
Well, INANE, but I'm pretty sure we'd be looking at a different outcome if the control rods hadn't been inserted during the quake...a much worse one.
But if the plant had continued running would there have been power to run the cooling system?

Out flying with my dad when I was 16 we had a faulty aircraft with a precessing DG. We wound up flying due west from Sydney over the blue mountains which is a disaster from the air. All canyons, trees and turbulence. Called ATC for help. Climbed under instructions, squawked 7000 and orbited for a bit, then returned to Bankstown by direct radar vector from ATC. They had to guide us in. Visibility was pretty bad. So we got on to final and there is 10 or 20 knots of tail wind and we are running out of runway. Dumped the flaps at 100 feet AGL, pushed the throttle up and went round very fast. Started the circuit again and Bankstown tower came on the VHF instructing us to turn 180 and complete the circuit in the opposite direction.
My Dad froze. I could tell. He had nearly killed his 16 year old son and he wasn't listening or really aware of things beyond stick and rudder right then. ATC repeated the instruction and he did nothing. I thought if I say something he might go crazy and crash us. Is this what happens to the guy in the right seat? Is it better to let the pilot in command crash the plane?. So I said "Dad, they want us to do a U turn" and he got it. Acknowledged the call, made the turn and got us on the ground. ATC told us to report to operations and we sat down before a really old civil aviation guy who had seen it all. He showed us a few happy snaps of people who really stuffed up. Like "you can see where the pilots body sort of flowed around the engine on impact". That sort of stuff.
My point? It doesn't take flight deck full of warnings to push a pilot over the edge. It doesn't take much at all in fact.

People reuse their passwords, often for services outside France.
Maybe the network was centralised for political reasons. Maybe the government wanted a single point of failure.
Oh christ why? I run fvwm at work everywhere I might have to run CDE. Are these people masochists?
I thought git was Linus's name for Andrew Tridgell?

I frequently write scripts to edit images using netpbm.

Well, thats my guess, anyway.

Its probably a nine metre space plane and the 29 foot figure was made up for public consumption.
Maybe they could use a lens which pops out of the back of the camera when in use?
I believe that the 'stretch Mercedes Limo' has replaced the broadaxe as the weapon of choice.
Too soon...
$14k/lb? Who the heck is snorting it at that price?
Charlie Sheen must account for a lot of it.

Um, not opening Excel or Flash files on computers that access the database
What if the "database" is an Excel file?

Oops. You are right.

Russia and the Ukraine were both part of the USSR but the place was effectively run by Russia anyway.
Doesn't ast have a copy?
If your message is easily confused with noise then it might be fairly safe.
Yes, in fact it was right there at the beginning...
