So you're declaring success before writing a line of code, before building a prototype, before sitting new users in front of the screen to see if the thing is even usable?
CS has become a joke, and most curriculum's resemble job training in Visual Studio.
Nah, that's not really true, at least not everywhere. I got mine a decade ago and it was top notch. The focus was on fundamentals, not specific languages. I remember scrambling many times to learn a new language just so I could start my real work. I've came out of the program with killer problem solving skills.
I have an intern who is in the middle of his, and I'm jealous of all the cool crap he's doing. Makes me want to go back again.
I'm afraid not. Copyright infringement is not a crime. If it were a crime, then cases in courts involving copyright infringement would be in criminal courts. They are not.
From: here Under the Copyright Felony Act of 1992, Pub. L. No. 102-561, 106 Stat. 4233 (1992), infringement of a copyrighted work may now constitute a felony under federal law

Well, I'm not saying that their choice of advertisement is a good one, I would never do something like that. I just think I know where they're coming from.
A lot of times, tossing two highly experienced developers on the same project is like putting two of those Japanese fighting fish in the same bowl. They'll rip each other apart. They were probably burned in the past and just want less risk of crap happening. I would bet that their lead techie has ego issues.
Oh, this is an easy one. They wanted an experienced worker, nothing more. Their ideal candidate: 1) Knows which end is up on the keyboard 2) Won't demand an outrageous salary 3) Won't try to take over the project.
I bet they have the technical leadership in place and just want people to take specs and do their job, not get into "experience arguments".
What is the pedigree required to build a large bridge, a skyscraper, a rocket, or to perform brain surgery?
Right now software engineering is such a young field. Success isn't dependent so much on process and education as it is on the skill and intuition of individual developers. And there are a heck of alot of software developers out there with neither education nor skill
Software engineering is still becoming it's own thing. I mean, we still keep trying to compare building software to building buildings. We're still pounding things with rocks, but the difference between software and things in the past is that it's so easy to get something up quickly that is moderately useful.
Please, if you're going to give, donate your time and/or money to projects that you use and like.
This whole software activism thing is a huge waste of resources.
You want to fight the power? Build alternative software which doesn't suck.
Then they went and betrayed His trust, and He got angry.
Wait, isn't God "all-knowing"? He should have known he would be betrayed. Sounds like it was a setup to mess with the Jews for a bit. Hmmmm, maybe God is Borat?:)
Excellent, thanks for the response.
So, the issue I have is why does the Christian Bible contain both parts? The verse I listed was a statement from God, not from one of the mortal characters. So...is the New Testament God a different one, or is Jesus just ignoring all the rules of his father? Is the Old Testament basically mythology?
Also, how do you explain something like: Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."
From the interpretations I've read of this, he is referring to Old Testament Law. It seems we're back to picking and choosing truth again.
The fossil record DOES show species just "appearing" as if they were just created.
The fossil record has gaps because it is very rare for something squishy to be fossilized. Lack of evidence is never proof of anything. To claim otherwise is really bad science.

You're assuming that the would-be democratic voters are going to get off their ass and actually vote this time.
Apple, the penultimate source of cool.
So who will the last source of cool be? I'm confused.
Or is someone trying too hard to use big words again?

Good luck with that.

Somehow I think they'll survive.
themselfs?
They use this to help nail Aldrich Ames in 1994.
Based on the hysteria in this thread, why haven't people been complaining about it for the past 12 years?
Denver is cold? In the winter? APOCALYPSE!!
Yeah, I agree. The only thing I learned so far is that the submitter appears to be about as clueless as we are.
Let's try this again....

They don't steal anything, copyright infringement isn't theft. You been listening to too much **AA babble.
Sure it is. Steal: 2. to appropriate (ideas, credit, words, etc.) without right or acknowledgment.
You can agree or disagree with the concept or the severity of the crime, but at least have the balls to call it what it is.

We'll get there.
"Why you shouldn't shave your goatee while drunk"
a public utility that everyone should have a right to access, just like water or electricity.
Read up on Enron, and you really wouldn't want the net manipulated in the same way that they screwed with the west coast power access.
Make it small, and compact.
And don't forget to format the final code to look like a penis, and you'll be sure to win
Atheism is the new cool, but we're still expecting perks for Jesus day?
Funny you should mention that. Guess what article appeared on Digg very recently...
Propaganda? And ineffective propaganda at that.
