I, on the other hand, prefer to think the exact opposite.

I think most people are born intelligent. You are either enabled to form the correct neural connections or raised in a way that makes your intelligence degrade significantly.

Sure it does!
You also don't make any speling mistakes, are never WRONG about your FACTS, and you rule the physics with your intellect.

No, you see this is an individual.

Of course individuals have no right to "Trade" - that's for corporations.

"The fact that there are no disc-shaped aircraft in the skies today, though, suggests that the USAF's flying saucer efforts probably never got past the prototype stage."

Not so! It in fact suggests that the Greys filed a cease-and-desist suit with the Galactic Court to stop humans from producing a craft in that shape. They won, and *that* was when the Americans really sat up and started taking notice of Patents.

Other galactic species are talking behind their back, though, because the Greys sued with a design patent based on "rounded corners" for a flying saucer...

Fortunately, we do not let the people who feel themselves directly harmed decide upon criminal punishments.

The parent was saying that AS A SOCIETY we should ignore it, not that the people directly involved would be able to do so.

Unfortunately, you have misread the parent and I will be charitable and say that, rather than you simply disagree and are clutching at straws.

Uncharitably, I then read your next line and must conclude that you are willing to equate desecration of Jewish cemeteries (presumably to incite the Nazi knee-jerk response) with someone REPOSTING SOMETHING THEY FOUND to Facebook.

I do hope you are never in any decision making capability where you can affect people's lives.

Oh no, Matthew Woods is the big winner in this.

He has clear insight, in a way that most of use are only peripherally aware of, into where government is trying to take us.

No doubt that although he will keep his head a bit lower profile, there has been a sea change in his heart.

You can't get that sort of Win without having that sort of experience.

If you consider any water that has been in the interior or a cell of a human being as "human", then it is entirely correct to call most beer - diluted humans.

Cheers!

"Clever of them to patent this, since knock-off space-junk removal systems are in such high demand"

If one does not think that the orbit around earth is going to be increasingly cluttered on is just not looking very far.

It is sad on a supposed tech and science site for someone to suggest that the clutter will not become a problem.

The refrain seems to be why patent anything that doesn't have immediate use.

What a crock of shit.

I would rather not give any money to people driving this type of frame of ideology for the internet.

That's one more site I need to stay away from, I'm glad that they are self-flagging.

I hope that all similar sites follow their awesome lead, it provides a wonderful signalling mechanism.

I hardly need to do any work at all if they would all just do that.

It would be like the 'evil bit" made manifest.

I wish that were the case...

Sadness.

caveat - this is talking about as the poster requested, production deployment of web services from big companies.

The software should be able to be deployed by nearly anyone familiar. Any changes to deployment are modifications of install scripts or applications.

Actual deployment to a production environment should be able to be done by a lot of different roles.

I prefer not to have developers deploy because they have access to a lot of different possible packages.

Build should be produced by CM.

Test should be able to install on their test systems, as checking the install is part of the test process.

Once a gold build is produced, the people administering the production application servers or ESBs should probably manage the package deployment.

Please don't tell me the developers are also administering the production boxes!

But really, test is familiar, development is familiar, systems should even be familiar... It could really be any of them.

"Should" then just becomes a choice made, and someone puts it down on their time card.
