But don't expect to write code that keeps a 777 safely in the air. That is the type of scenario that we need discipline, not creativity.
Is just an ignorant statement; because the two are not exclusive of each other. The creative mind may come up with a piece of code or test scenario solves many problems elegantly; and avoid a disaster where a disciplined mind would have just written to some poorly written specs (all specs are poorly written).
I believe that the criminals too are in information overload.
They have sooooo many stolen identities that they just don't know what to do with them all..... NOW.... All we need to do is pollute that with bad information as to cause them and their customers to question the validity of the data and stop buying it.
" No, there are not, nor will there ever be Death Panels."

They won't call them Death Panels they'll call them 'Quality of Life' consultants and when the cost of your care exceeds a target you'll be evaluated on whether the money spent will actually give you a standard of life deemed necessary to continue the expense. It will be a necessary cost cutting measure, the average person at the 'end-of-life' (age) costs 2 million dollars in the last 4 months of life. To think that there won't be cost cutting measures in that area is ignorant!
I think it was the "eliminate the expensive" one in favor of the H1B indian that'll work for $18k a year. Iowa has a better work-ethic than your fraigle dumb ass death. Don't comment until you understand the issues. u got shit-for-brains
WTF! What an insulting asshole! The best work-ethics in america can be found in Iowa.
Let me enlighten your stupid ass, Iowa sued MS over some pricing crap, and they eased the $$$ on the settlement when then they unveiled plans to create jobs here. The suit was settled, a year later MS pulls the plug on their plans. Fishy. But not as stupid as your comments.
I had typed out a long reply trying to educate you, but I lost it then said WTF, you'll never really understand it. City idiots thinking that gardening and farming are the nearly the same thing and that were going to loose all our farm land to developers. I do remember I wrote MORON at the end though.
I agree with you second paragraph on cars, your first paragraph on corn prices and starving people is an easy sell to the uneducated and uninformed, it is just not true. The price of corn has NOTHING to do with people starving. Your theory is when corn is less than $2/bushel every one eats well and when it goes to $4+/bushel people are starving, yet that is NOT EVEN CLOSE! The farmer produces the same number of bushels whether the price is $2 or $4, one hurting at $2/bushel is the farmer, yet people go hungry no matter the price.
Hunger can't be tied to the price of the crop to the farmer! MORON.
I wrote an application that I implemented on 20,000+ machines that replicated files over 256kb WAN lines using UDP, because UDP is connectionless is at a lower priority than TCP. It sent 1 kB/sec for a total of about 8GB a day. Of course it was no easy task (2yrs development) to create a protocol that can detect and recover missing parts of a file then reconstruct the file when it is complete. As well as replicating to machines that were off when they were turned back on. It used MS SQL server to maintain the file lists, sends and WAN connections. It ran for a couple of years.
My work canned the whole thing in favor of Microsoft SMS, because it has web reports I guess. Not many company have as many branches as we do (>1,000)
If you covered a boat hull with it would you be floating the boat on the water or on air? If it's floating on air, could you call that levitating a boat?
MS has never done what the users' want, so give it up. Win7 will not be a 'new' OS based on XP, it will be an extension of Vista with all it's underlying 'features'.
Of course, with Hyper-V, so you can run multiple intances of the Vista at the same (or insane) time, frustration to the Nth.
You've got to be kidding!! Linux is nowhere near ready for desktop primtime. 1.Printing sucks, if you can even get it to work! 2.Video drivers is a total crap shoot. 3.Software development has no central respository for documentation, mostly because. 4.A gazillion distros fog the landscape each with it's own 'version' snapshot of a source code tree, PLUS 'their' changes. 5.Version problems -the first thing you have to do is figure out what your distro is 'based on' so you can update it then deal with all other incompatibilites with other apps version designed for different version. 6.Security unknowns abound because hardly anybody is running any paticular version. 7.Development enviroments - C,C++ horrible.
I wouldn't call it a hobbist OS, when there is no hobbist dev. environment.
Linux will NEVER NEVER be a major player in the desktop arena.!!!

I've been using and programming PC since before Microsoft even existed. When microsoft came on to the seen they had a big advantage - developer support! CPM at the time was the dominated OS but each manufacturer had taken the OS and recomplied it to run on there hardware. This made for small differences from machine to machine some very minor some, some not so minor.
Microsoft defined a standard when they sold IBM, and IBM mis-stepped by not protected the archtecture. Then sold it to hardware manufactures that made there hardware compatible with DOS (and the critical BIOS functions).
But more to the point, now you had just ONE place to go to development support and they had and have good support, such as documentation and development tools for everybody from hobbist to professionals.
Linux will never have a significant market because it's too fragmented, each distro has there own quirks. Too bad.
I'm getting back into Linux because the new.NET is just a scam on the developer community to raise $$$ because they are stuck with legacy compatiblity and can't really take big steps to make something new.
But am dispointed with this fact that there isn't a definitive answer for problems nor a definitive interface (KDE/Gnome) because everyone thinks they have a 'better way' to do something which is great, but results in the fore mentioned problem. At least that's my FEELING, as a newbie.
Ok, that's my two cents. (this is my 'virgin' comment)

I wonder if Bauxite (aluminum ore) would be viable by just puting it in solution to generate electricity instead of processing it into aluminum first?
