    Agreed. Acrobat does a great job of leading you down the road of depending on Abobe's proprietary world of advanced PDF functionality that is better left to other technologies.

    IBM is all about cramming the absolutely most asinine complex and difficult to support solutions into your company. After IBM consultants had had their way with your project, you will need to pay them 250-350/hr utilizing their professional services division to support the crap that crammed into your infrastructure. IBM is the IT mafia - absolute bastards!

    RTFA: "Everyone in Gono knows the spots where you can get a clear signal - there's a good place to stand by the well on the northern edge of the village, or a few people have sticks propped up on their roofs from which they hang phones. The best reception is up in the cliff, where a few dozen people live in rock huts."

  21. Load of Crap on Followup On Java As "Damaging" To Students · · Score: 2, Informative

    These guys are shills for the "Ada industry" and are not really crying about "damaging to students", but rather how difficult it is to find Ada programmers in support of their personal financial interests. And they do so hidden behind academic titles. Depressing. The world of programming for new grads is mostly about web development which is either Java, PHP or .NET. A CS program "rich in Ada" is not very beneficial to grads. OO Java Development is an excellent teaching language and is very pertinent for a bachelors of science in CS education.
