Yeah it's called getting rid of useless politicians, and greedy capitalists. The only way to effectively build spacecraft capable of effective space travel is resource-based economy. Until humans can get past their fix on money, forget about leaving behind 1960's technology.
Yeah! Why don't you go get a computer science degree, major in JavaScript, HTML, and XML along with some PHP, Python, Java, a little bit of Linux, and Windows Server, as well as Novell, then some Perl, with some Shell scripting, and when you're done with that learn some XML, then do a thesis on database management, as well as modeling, with some object oriented programming. Ajax is fun too, learn that. Oh and there's this thing called Photoshop, it's fantastic, with Flex, and meld that with some Mashups. Don't forget you'll need to know a lot of CSS. That should do it. When you're all done with your degree in "computer science" bend over, put your head between your legs, and kiss your sustainable ass goodbye, because you just spent a fortune on courses that won't get you a job worth crap. I hope that helped.
Rex's statements are so common to large corporate tech providers. They all state that open source solutions seem "ineffective", but in reality they are more powerful, and cheaper than the bloated, blanket solutions their proprietary companies offer. It's BS because they just feel the ever-present threat that if open source was even largely considered by the market it would bring their profits plummeting to the bottom. It would just show the world markets what their software solutions are really worth. Absolutely NOTHING!

Here's some advice for you! Tell all those half-assed IT employees you work with, to stop kidding themselves, in thinking they are "Information Technology" professionals. You wouldn't call the Stanley Steemer guy a technology professional would you. NO, of course not, because he doesn't know how the steam cleaner works, he just works it. Same goes for all those Microsoft lackeys, they are all just a bunch of lame jerk-offs who were too lazy to get training in any real technologies, so they spend enormous amounts of money on buying software solutions that somebody else built, that don't even come close to meeting 100% of their organization's business needs. Microsoft is big business, and as history has shown us in the past, anyone who can spend big, will go to no end in squashing it's competitors, especially if that competitor is a workforce capable of producing higher quality software for a fair wage.
Americas multi-billion dollar satellite system versus a bunch of insurgents using outdated map images. Come on people! Lat time I checked Google Earth doesn't offer up any real time imagery, and if it did do you think it would be free. In corporate America they like to think, that if you put fear into the minds of the public, then the free products they seduced them with, become a marketable product of value. Look at airlines offering up "easy pass" for boarding. "Avoid the long lines of security checks, and pay a couple hundred dollars more to bypass all of that". What makes you think that an insurgent backed by terrorist funding won't pay to bypass the security checks. Silly government agenda.
All in all, you chose the wrong path by going to college to enhance your coding skills. How does a carpenter learn to build houses? How does painter learn to paint? How does a an author learn to write a bestselling novel? All rhetorics here, but my point is college is not the end-all-be-all of learning how to do work in life. College is all theoretical, and in some aspects research and experiments are applied to get nearer to truth. If you go to college and major in Computer Science, don't think you're going in order to learn how to program. You're there to embellish upon computer concepts and theory. Think of the new binary system. Who made that up? Not some low-level programmer who wrote console emulators. College trained computer scientists are meant to break the computer technology barrier by being more abstract. Invent!!! I'd get your money back!
Not me. Same crap different operating system version. Same thing happened with the introduction of XP. All kinds of exploits, worms, viri, exploded onto the scene of Microsoft's earlier OS products, applications which already had fixes. Then all of a sudden one application is susceptible to hacks. It's all a marketing scam by Microsoft, because they figure most dimwits who use their products will get infected, and think that the OS doesn't work anymore, because it's an old version, so they buy the "new" and "improved" Vista. A sucker is born every second.
Is it no surprise?! And he we are planning a trip to Mars. What the hell are those poor lab rats of astrtonauts going to do in the middle of space on a trip that takes several months, and January 1st rolls around? Maybe they could pull into that spacecraft garage on the corner of Deimos and Phobos. I did get a chuckle about plugging in the cellphone. I mean, hell, if a lousy machine the size of a pack of cigarettes can do it...
How do you know if it's a reliable source if no one is an expert on a fictional fact? Think about that one. I bet everyone who monitors that site thought there was someone else who knew what NPA was. There was a great interview on NPR this weekend with the founder/creator of Wikipedia. He said that it is a completely open resource, that is monitored and maintained by people who generally live up to preserving the reliabilty and integrity of article sources. He also mentioned that there are thousands of experts out there monitoring Wikipedia, and that false information for the most part doesn't last that long. Oh well, there was one that got away, so to speak. For a free information resource all-in-all Wikipedia is great. If you guys want a reliable resource get a subscription to Encyclopedia Britannica, where fact finders get paid lots of money to keep a lock down on facts. If that happens to Wikipedia, then you have no reason to complain.
Whatever! George W.'s presidential days are numbered. He'll be out of the White House in another year, and all his useless decisions won't make a difference anyhow. Sometimes I think he's made the decisions he had, simply because he needed to be noted in the history books. Let him declare martial law, because it would be the most useless, ineffective control of society ever. Take for example Iraq, martial law example one. Oh, and how about that nice LITTLE reinforcement effort in New Orleans after Katrina. Like most of the other a**holes in the world, he just wants to look good on legislative paper.
I have to agree with the first response (swift kick in the nuts to whomever came up with that). It's called Google or Regex, whatever you want to use to strip unwanted content from a search.
