Look, they listed the four crappiest films anyone could have chosen as launch titles. What more do you wan? I mean do the editors have to tell you XXX 2 was a bad movie?
I suspect you've missed the point. The database (db2) is doing most of the work and is indeed written in native code. The interface logic most certainly is appropriate to be highe level, but the database engine itself is probably better off as native code. Ditto for the operating system kernel.
An ideal spreadsheet program would be written in a functional style, but since most spreadsheets do not allow you to have extra variables in your functions (all variables are cell addresses), nearly any complicated spreadsheet application uses numerous temporary or hidden cells for intermediate calculation data. That's not fuctional programming at all, it's tons of global transitive state!

My point was that saying "he's just doing his job" is not a valid justification. I'm sorry if that was unclear to you.

I beg to differ. You can blame them, and in fact you should blame them. That is how a market economy works: if I don't like that a certain shoe manufacturer profits from child labour, then I blame them for it, and stop buying their shoes.
When we accept questionable and dishonest behaviour from corporations, simply because it is somehow expected of them, then that is how they will behave. The truth is, it is expected from them only because we accept it. If we didn't, it would no longer be profitable and they wouldn't do it. Companies have no intrinsic moral; their only moral stems solely from the criticism we as consumers place on them. Humans are the only source of moral in the system, and we must use it.
I heartily agree. Common sense dictates that yes these people are people like you and me and most people are not evil, but that does not justify what the organization as a whole is doing. For example almost no one faults the individual US soldiers in Iraq, but a large umber of people believe the war in Iraq is wrong. Those are not conflicting viewpoints, and conflating them is a logical fallacy.
So you're saying this "man" sits between you and the machine service you want to talk to, in order to hijack your credentials? Almost as if he's "in the middle" of the transaction? I wish we had a simple name for this kind of thing.
This article's results are obvious. When Spider-Man went to high school in the 60's he was able to synthesize web fluid in his chemistry lab. What do modern high schoolers make? A fat load of nothing that's what. I say we need more web fluid in schools.
That's all well and good for consumption, but what about content creation? I'm pretty sure an ipod is no replacement for a mix board, and a camcorder is a pretty crappy non-linear editting solution.
As you say AC it comes down to whether you would learn mor buying the book, or doing independent research. In this case it was a course on aesthetics - a topic of which there are hundreds of seminal papers/essays freely available by luminaries, and in other cases they were art studio classes where practice counts more than reading someone's description of a technique.
When I had a class where the textbook looked like crap, I didn't buy it. I figured in a 10 week course, attending all the lectures, I could get by without some $150 200 page waste of money. I graduated with honors.
If it's handled improperly, and gets shut down, it will be a serious blow to any in roads already established toward providing free, community wireless projects.
You shouldn't let fear of precedent prevent you from fighting for what's right.
Then he'd probably say you have a ArrogantSmartass/Linux system. And you'd need a compiler that can support at least C and C++, which is no fun to write. And to have a true operating system you also have to rewrite a version of EMACS.
Still, even assuming perfect selection of points for maximum uniqueness, You're going to need a lot of data to compare against, or you'll have to suffer through a lot of false positives.

That's nothing, think of all the poor semicolons stuck delimiting Perl code!
I say they change the name back to Phoenix or Firebird and tack Web Browser onto the end.

You forgot the other exception, "Join me, fellows. Together we can effect change in the system."
I think the customers he's referring to are users of Microsoft Frontpage.
Simple for Ask, experts are those that best further the marketing goals of their backers.

More likely you think you're living in a paralel world where MS lived up to it's marketing hype that NT would be a microkernel.

Didn't you watch Back to School w/ Rodney Dangerfield? "Tha last guy coulda been a maniac!"

SCO has customers?
You might know them better as Defendants
Isn't the sysadmin's job to decide which commands a user can and can not have access to?
You can go for the Stallman special Linux + X + Emacs . Fully functional laptop environment that'll run on hardware from the 70's.

I stand corrected, and thoroughly!
