After all, one fool may think the software is ready for the version 1.0 label, while a more experienced manager would say no, that's a 0.8 at best.
Also, I've worked at companies that make new products using the same underlying libraries that older products use. In fairly serious production environments, often it's more important to know what the underlying version is than anything else, and therefore we would label it with the version of the libraries. This was expected by our customers, as well.
Well, as someone who is completely in agreement with you, let me try to answer that.
The difference between a fatal accident and a death by terrorist is just that--one is an act of God, or almost, and one is a tragic, senseless act by a man. That's why it terrifies many of us.
I just think it's important to remember that personal level of it, when we're trying to reason with the unreasonable.
God, dude, what are you going to do? I mean it's bad enough over here, but I've been watching this "feature creep" in a country I admire for the last decade as well, but I've never seen it put so depressingly well:-)
I've been wondering about this a long time, myself. Another example: What if I'm just some kind of super genius who can look at an encrypted stream of CSS data and manually decode it in my head?
Which I'm not even sure I'd WANT to be that smart!
I think you're misunderstanding him. He's not saying that's how it should be, but that's how it is. It's a warning against allowing the law to become an ass.
Although security standards do have some appeal, the way it's playing out is that everyone is doing the same thing--that which is required to pass a "security scan" and no more. No reason to like, think about it or anything, or hire a real expert. Mind you, it's hard to assess the expertise of someone if you're not a member of their profession.
Anyway, monoculture is bad, mmkay. Not saying I have a nice pre-packaged solution with a pamphlet and everything....

Yeah, cool. So what do you do for IM and Facebook?
When it comes to games, hardware has been outpacing the ability of software to actually ustilize it for several years. That's why when I started my game, I decided to actually use everything I had; and sure enough, I've overheated a few cpu's and graphics cards of unsuspecting players (not permanently, of course!).
It's very high poly and is a "big room" game, which takes lotsa gpu and cpu both. And one day, when it's finished (in a decade?) it'll be playable on a modest machine:-)
Yeah, really. But why even have that late bloomer penalty? After all, the goal is that kids learn the material. If they learn the material, hallelujah, give 'em an A.
I'm studying the AT&T U-verse postcard with more interest, now. Although I hate AT&T, and seriously doubt they're much better. In fact, the postcard has a tone of fine print on it. And that's just the postcard!
I've gotten a lot of interest in Linux from non-techies with this angle. I say, "I can't actually say that it's virus proof....but it's virus proof". And they get very, very interested, because getting a virus makes people feel bad and stupid--they don't like it one bit, even as they can't seem to help themselves getting pwned every other day.
A couple are even using Linux now. Linux really is ready for the desktop...
No, they're not by old skool standards, although I have long agreed with your sentiment. They are Personal Computers, but they are not IBM-PC clones. That's where "PC" came from, was the short form of IBM-PC.
Although I agree with all your sentiments, I would like to point out that the Iraq war is all about government working with industry in order to make an ass-load of money for them. This is beyond "regulation", and is in fact manual intervention in the economy in the form of looting the public treasury.
It's not so much about "regulation" or not, but just not letting criminals get away with crimes. And creating an environment where they know there will be consquences for their actions, helping to inhibit such psychopathic behavior.
...if they only charged, I dunno, three bucks for the game. Because that's what it'd be worth to me to try a game to even see if I'll install it more than once. Which is usually never, as most games suck.
Spoken like a true lawyer (in spirit if not in fact).
Meanwhile, back in reality, while Pakistan's lawyers take to the streets in support of the rule of law, our lawyers are busy helping the government to enslave the people.

No, it carries no meaning whatsoever.

lol...although I agree with you...we're talking about a rotting corpse in an Armani suit, and a Lamborghini. They ain't dead, yet.
if you can draw, it's pretty wicked looking.
Personally, I'll still with Blender, for now.
Which rocks, by the way.

If they'd just get rid of the UMD disk slot, it'd be a real slick device.

Got no performance problems. On reasonable good hardware. Also, I can actually collide with concave things.
Like I said--I'm using the power available to us. I think 40-75fps is acceptable.

Who is the organizer of the XMPP working group? Who accepts/rejects new additions to the standard?

I know, I'm an old guy, I was there
Descent3 was my favorite game to play with my Nvidia shutter glasses, and it looked FANTASTIC. Well worth the minor discomfort.
You definitely want the wireless glasses, though.
I used them for Battlefield 1942 as well, and it was ok. I'd still be using them for gaming if I hadn't bought my big flatscreen.

Uh, no, you're wrong. And overly paranoid.
Not saying paranoia is a bad thing. But you've got way, way too much of it.
Duck! The joke missed you.
Nonsense. Since when is Google the press?
They're just a big internet database. 'sall she wrote.
lol you're just now realizing this? It's called fascism, look it up.
Actually, sorry, I shouldn't laugh. But if you're American, it's probably worth noting that the U.S. has never, ever, been particularly humane.
