Duke Nukem 3D had plenty of story to it. You fought aliens, saved the world and got chick-bellies for pillows. Plus, you were Duke Nukem, which is like a novel on its own. Don't argue, just listen.
Half-Life 2 (and this goes to the other moron you replied to) was so much of a story that Freeman doesn't even talk the whole way. That's freakin awesome, dooode. How could you miss subtle elements of storytelling like that? When he started leading the revolution my GF passed out, and when she woke up I was inside the tower ruining alien shit, so she passed out again. Tip: when your GF passes out during a game, there's a story.
Now Doom 3, that was like the closest you got to not being an idiot..but alas, you still suck: Doom 3 had the same great story as Doom 2, which was the same as the original Doom, and that rocked. Just because it had the SAME story as all the other FPS out there doesn't mean it had NO story. Be specific.
Wolf 3D: You're back to being a complete sod again. No story? There were people being ripped apart and made into fighting machines you insensitive clod! Germans staying Achtueng!!! Will nothing move you? I won't go on. You are hopeless.
P.S: Do you know why Doom 3 and Half-Life were a dissapointment? It's difficult to believe, but it wasn't the story, or the repetition, or the other half-assed reasons people like you give.
It was the physics.
Your game can have amazing gfx, but if the enemies dont feel like they're getting hit...if they just dissappear when you shoot floating cotton-like balls at them..if they look like rag-dolls instead of bad-ass mofos when you gun them down, it just isn't satifying. The theory of fun in games revolves around the satisfaction of killing the turd in front of you, watching the bullet( yes we like bullets, not yummy looking marshmallow balls) lodge into his head, driving it into nearby walls. They failed in that respect, thus they fail ultimately.
It's probably worse with the autopilot thing. The system would HAVE to include communication between the software running on the two planes, because the two would have the same algorithm.
Plane A: Crash course [processing] GO UP 200ft! Plane B: Crash course [processing] GO UP 200ft!/*Autopilot puts happy tone music on for 3 seconds Plane A: Crash course [processing] GO DOWN 200ft!! Plane B: Crash course [processing] GO DOWN 200ft!!..etc..etc

In the entire span of your argument you have only dealt only with the user input validation side of software, and tried to make analogies to hardware that are not quite true. We should be considering the performance of the engineered product (software or hardware) against the specified requirements.
If you want to argue that the software requirements are more demanding because of associated requirements that are marginal to the actual purpose of the software, that is another thing. But you are missing a crucial point which is that Oracle or any other company is SPECIFICALLY bounding itself to "non-functional" requirements that are not paid attention to.
The bridge has specific requirements which the engineer is supposed to meet. If, under the conditions CLEARLY STATED through his contract he fulfills them, he's clear. He doesn't need to think about people transgressing the boundaries of these conditions- or typhoons - because they fall outside his responsibility. The operating company must make sure no overload happens, otherwise..their shit is ruined.
With software engineering we continue to make immense promises in the form of NF reqs that get translated into very little effort because the problems are WITHIN our domain, yet they are not our main target.
When you write an IM client, your target is an IM client(bear with me). But you need to accept text. Part of your requirements involve translating keyboard I/O into messages sent accross a network. ALL the involved steps, and the Non-Func. Reqs reflected on them, are YOUR responsibility.
If you can't take the responsibility, don't. I think that is what she is trying to say.
P.S: If you could destroy a bridge by flipping a switch, maybe the engineer would be responsible for that little issue.
P.P.S I hate Oracle slightly more than Saddam Hussein.
Every minute our young people spend on myspace (and similar diversions) eats into their IQ. To demonstrate, please measure your IQ now, then read the following comments (taken from arbitrary members' profiles):
"I love to smile, smiling is my favorite" Wow. That's the greatest.
"I am so glad you joined the little myspace group:) so fun!!!" OMGAWD
"yay..i popped your myspace cherry!" LOL!!!
"LOVVEE AND MISSSS YOU TONS! LOL" LOVVEE TOO!
"About me: I'm on here to meet people that I feel can make me better." Can't argue with that one. BUT.. does that include the girl at the top of your friend's list? You know, the one with the red undergarments?
IQ After reading: Debatable. Oh, and before I go, here's one of my personal favorites:
"Heroes: My lovely parents who have done everything to get me where I am today."
Many monotheists today would definitely go with the "Poof! Chicken appears" line I know, but most of these people also listen to Pat Robertson and some of them like Celine Dion.
I thought I would give you a Muslim outlook on things, because due to the understanding of God in Islam, His omnipotence allows us to make braver postulations.
The evolutionary step from something-like-chicken to chicken-egg involves chromosomal mutation at some stage, the factors involved are presumed (by Darwinists) to be random in both number and nature. Muslim belief holds that God creates and subsequently causes all things. Biology is ruled by chemistry, chemistry is ruled by physics, and God puts down the rules of physics(speed of light..etc). Causality is thus governed by God throughout, and the processes involved in the becoming of the chicken are not based on mutation, but ancient, omnipotent design. That is, the "mutations" are purposeful, inevitable. Survival due to suitablility of conditions is similarly understood, in contrast to the conditions being coincidentally beneficial to the new mutant.
Obviously, if you don't believe in the first place, the reasoning above is immaterial. Please also note that the above is not postmodern neocon crap. God never told us *how* he created chickens, only that he created all things.
My grandma (few years ago) was once alone at home when the fedex people came along with my new video card. She locked the door twice and told them to slip a note under the door, and when thy did she told them to go away. Robbers she thought. Had to go get it myself.

they bring in MS developers.

or.. there's so many people out there I want to beat the shit out of, I'm just gonna join.
