Step 1. USA develops it
Step 2. Steal it
Step 3. Rename it 'Almighty Hapiness Warrior Dragon Plan'
I am sure China appreciates the US doing the R&D for them on this project.
So basically the USA is *still* not taking steps to secure its critical infrastructure networks and other countries including China are still taking advantage of said lack of security. Wow! News at eleven. Meanwhile the US and her allies are doing the same thing back. Australias DSD motto is "Reveal their secrets, protect our own" http://www.dsd.gov.au/ I'm sure teams in the NSA and CIA have similiar mottos. The idea of good guys vs bad guys because of the lattitude and longitude of where your mothers uterus deployed you is stupid. Everyone is doing it... you just don't hear about your team because reporting on it would be unpatriotic and not in the national interest.
"I am only interested in general purpose work, utilities"
They (all reasonably mainstream languages) are all fine for this. You can even get the free version of visual studio and do C# / VB.Net and by learning the libraries of one pretty much know everything you need for the other. C# is a lot like Java and flicking from one to the other is easy as is stepping down to C++ or over to Javascript.
I'd say Java / C#. Both free, both compliment the other and MSDN is huge, seriously HUGE in depth and breadth. C# will also lead into powershell which may be better suited to what you want to do potentially.
by nerds... " I’ve written about Enceladus about thirty two bajillion times, because it’s fascinating, and photogenic as heck" given just how nerdy this is no doubt it will have fewer responses than more mainstream non nerdy articles on slashdot.
"Religions all require you to believe in things that cannot be proven, despite their being unlikely"
Sounds like quantum physics... which also has a large number of people (spending money) that believe in something that can not be seen or proven. Physicists around the world a dedicating a large amount of their lives to theories many of which ARE MUTALLY EXCLUSIVE meaning someone is going to be wrong. Mathematically 'proof' exists of a 4th dimension... but just because the maths 'adds up' and it could be possible doesn't mean that it does exist, yet many many smart people believe that it does. Before you bust on religion I suggest you educate yourself some more belief in things that do not exists is not limited to relion but also a healthy chunk of the scientific domain. The irony is that Steven Weinberg IS JEWISH and a physicist that believed in the Higgs boson at one point... to date no one has seen any traces of the Higgs boson.
Ummm... given that he has used numerous machines compared to a single typewriter nothing. Further a greater awareness of Cormac McCarthys work exists within the general public.
"...we understand 'the incomprehensible'..." and yet so many are unable to meet and seduce attractive women... something that people of average intelligence and sometimes low intelligence have been doing for tens of thousands of years.
"so we are less oppressed in some ways" just not when it comes to social integration.
"They expect us to be weird, so we don't have to hide it as much in order to get by." or maybe there are no other equally qualified but less weird people available at that time.
Those were the days. Even without memmaker QEMM's days were limited though. Memmaker just brought it about faster. Those were also the days when having 'Norton' on a product was a good thing.
... if a game was created that had the faces and bodies of various judges (this judge in particular) and politicians and played like GTA complete with hookers and drug use I don't think that said figures would care very much about the first amendment. What if a game about hookers was created with a character that looked like the judges wife? Would he care as much then?
Infinite has various contexts. One being intersection and in theory all things being equal GUIDS should never technically intersect. Just as two parallel lines run parallel for infinity, although the two lines clearly have a start and end. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity Still for the problem in the thred GUIDs are the solution. Nitpicking of english aside.
Actually use GUIDs.
You will run out of numbers (finite) long before you run out of GUIDs (infinite). So no, incrementing numbers is not correct.
Also if you are using SQL replication and the likes incrementing numbers will clash and you will need to have a GUID column anyway.
If you were the enterprise developer you think you are you would know this. If I was your boss I'd suggest you start looking for a new job based on both your talent and your attitude.

I think we are on the same page... which initially I didn't, i thought it was from the point of view of IT (in support of and IT dictatorship). Nowhere I have worked during my career would someone get fired for fogetting passwords etc. most places with bad IT realise that they have bad IT. Getting fired for no work being done due to bad IT policy is just an unfair dismissal case waiting to happen. Better solution, fire problems in IT, hire new IT. But hey I'm probably preaching to the choir.
What a load of crap. In instance number 1. support is not doing their job... in instance number 2. your suggesting that a support bitch, or even their manager has control over the hiring process? Give me a break. Nothing worse than support people that have some complex about how much better they are than users. Support people are the bottom feeders of IT. The guys that aren't good enough to contibute in any meaningful way... their jobs is free up the the real IT talent to do their job. What if the forgetful user just happens to be a core part of the sales team? Or a director? Half the time people can't get work done because 1st and 2nd level support don't know what they are doing.

I'm not saying it's how things should be. I'm just telling you it's how they are.

Yes, please, define "mainstream". Just because an organization makes the news frequently doesn't make them "mainstream".
Reminds me of Linux users... only not in the news as much.

Drugs = Dopamine release
Gambling = Dopamine release
Erowid / Casino = different pathways to same result
Although casino probably has a cleaner comedown and less nausea (mushies, Ayahuasca etc.)
"but also every last installed application" ... yeah all .01% of them (comparative to every last installed windows application).
Those were the days. Even without memmaker QEMM's days were limited though. Memmaker just brought it about faster. Those were also the days when having 'Norton' on a product was a good thing.

Yes but you can't patent it if it is a natural mutation. Therefore it is an unnatural mutation hence GM.
Ummm... you missed the point. Please educate yourself before trying to educate me. ROT13 'was a joke'. http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/rot13.html

No you did not fix it.
