You're saying the US is not so bad, not compared to Cuba, Nicaragua, Croatia, Israel.
Amen brother. I was stunned the first time I traveled into the U.S. from Canada after 9/11. Old ladies are being asked to remove their shoes along with everyone else so they can be X-Rayed! I just barely resisted the urge to scream and merely rolled my eyes...
CVS integration is built into the Eclipse platform. If you're going to use Subversion integrate in Eclipse with Subclipse.
When I'm working on a project where I have NO IS&T to support me I set up my own Subversion server on an Apache box (usually my own machine) download Eclipse, point it to the update sites for all the above and it's off to the races!
Check out the The Adaptive Communication Environment it does a lot of what you need to do, it's rock solid and had been deployed in a number of military and avionics applications.
Possible new features include an updated icon, a completely new marketing campaign, one driver for an HP scanner written in a drunken coding blitz at 3am, and a new desktop wallpaper prominently featuring the Microsoft Logo.
I can't wait until FreeBSD and other inferior OSes get tools to find memory leaks. One day....
You don't think UNIX apps written in C++ leak like their windows counterparts? The problem there wasn't the operating system, it's that C++ should only be used by experts because it's so %^$^ hard to get right!
They tried to speed things up by going from perl to a compiled language, if that was the true bottleneck and they were spending all their time in the perl interpretor the mistake was not that decision, the mistake was the choice of compiled language. (C++ is %^$^ hard!)
Don't get me wrong... I love C++. I also love to drive cars. I don't let my son drive cars OR code in C++ because both require training to be safe. Coding C++ is like driving a Formula 1 racer... one wrong move and BLAMMO...
CTRL-HOME... only SHIFT-HOME when you want to take it with you... (And CTRL-SHIFT-HOME if you want to take it ALL with you...)
*sigh* All that wonderful knowledge and I'm still stuck on this backwater of a planet full of ape descendants who think that digital watches are pretty nifty...
I thought they used space shuttles to send things to other planets. Oh, the things you learn...
I hope you were aiming for Funny...
They have never been used for anything interplanetary and never will be!
The Shuttles were good for launching SOME satellites (it was scaled to be big enough to lift 1970's spy satellites to get military buy-in) into SOME orbits, making it the MOST expensive way to launch satellites.

You're thinking of Canada... you know, that REALLY big state up north eh? The one with the igloos and the funny red uniforms?
Quebecers speak Quebecois, just ask any Parisian who's been to Quebec or any Queb ecer who's been to Paris. Tabarnac!
While speakers of American may outnumber speakers of English, that still doesn't make your dialect English.
Yes... first you revolted, then the Canadians kicked your butts and sacked the Whitehouse... thus paranoia is born! :-)

That's because it is already dead.
No... it's just sleeping...
Sleeping? It's pining for the fijords!
wikiquote has a nice list.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the terrorists have won.
Your papers?
If you're doing PHP and considering either CVS or SVN I'd recommend :

Just think of her as WMD
... for the past two weeks I've been checking for landmines everytime I wake up and my head feels like someone called for arty.
From you description, I'd jump at it... you're young enough to take risks and you're bored. Strike while the iron is hot.
More practically, it depends on just how bored you are, how big a pay cut, and how much risk is there in the startup.
Even if it all falls to dust, having the risk-taking, interesting job on your resume will probably help you find the next job.
+5 Funny? Are you kidding, this is the most insightful thing I've seen in weeks!
From the overview:
Funny... I was thinking MCSEs...

That would be Windows ME
I really should stop replying to my own postings... but leak detection tools are available for UNIX... (or at least for some platforms)

This is not about Meglomania, they're just big geeks with big toys.
Anyone who's ever studied any aspect of AI aspires to passing the Turing test. Even attempting to do so requires enormous amounts of time and talent.
The Shuttle has indeed been used to launch some interplanetary missions; Magellan and Galileo spring to mind.
You are correct Sir Bruce... but that was 16 years ago. Can anyone come up with a recent example?

Have I officially become a grumpy old fart or has the quality of hardware hacks that reach the front page dropped dramatically?
What's next? A wireless router "retro-fitted" into a fishing tackle box with retractable CAT-V connections?
Wait... that sounds useful...
It would be great to see Python get some better documentation tools
Doxygen claims to support Python.
If so, that's just stuffing a heirarchical DB inside a relational one, which is stupid
HERETIC! Burn him! Burn him now!
(Be wary of pointing out common sense truth to the believers, it tends to be hazardous to your health.)
*sigh*
The next level of inanity is storing compressed XML in relational fields to "increase performance".
That's it... I'm going home to mother...
