I still do because I'm too cheap to buy software and too lazy to look for a F/OSS package.
But really, in a production (i.e. being paid to do it) environment actually code by hand??
This is a horrible idea. What happens when the beamer is hit by a micro meteor nocking out the com and pointing the sat at SF?
It turns everyone gay?
No wonder folks hate the Fed - they have no idea what it does.
...you insensitive clod.
I hate the taste of coffee, I'm not fond of hot drinks, and I dislike the feeling caffeine gives me.
I've always been a morning person, and even with less than 4 hours of sleep, I'm pretty much always good to go at 7AM. Provided I can then get a good night's sleep the next night...and saying nothing about what happens around 3PM

I heard cocaine will do that to you.
But, kudos for giving up the blood of puppies!
Or, we could call it what everyone else is calling it. Grid computing or sometimes cloud computing.
Or, we just call it what the old timers originally called it: time sharing.
It fits. Just because it's over the internet as opposed to dedicated lines, I don't see why we need new terminology for basically the same thing.
Anyone expecting privacy on these systems is a fool. It's not like either of these companies is regulated in any way, to say nothing of the fact they provide their services over the Internet which you only have read
Exactly. The same goes for traditional cell service. Why just the other day, I was in the grocery store and someone was yacking away about some big business deal in the bread isle. I sat there "shopping" while this guy was talking about financing, etc, etc, etc...
Then, I moved over to the soda isle, this young chicky apparently was having boyfriend troubles and I offered to help but she got all indignant and looks at me like I was a perv or something.
Then, over in the fish isle, this middle aged guy was trying to figure out if he should get the Salmon or the Trout and asking his wife, I think, which should he get. I told him the Trout. Great stuff. Again the funny looks! I don't get it?
The bread isle, this person was pushing their cart talking away and I answered - god I hate those blue tooths! Same thing - weird looks!
I won't tell you about the guy on the street talking really loudly but without and Bluetooth or Cell - he asked me for money.
What was this again about privacy and phone calls? I forgot what we're talking about.
A turbine is an engine that converts energy from a fluid flowing through its blades into mechanical work. Turbines in Hydro electric plants generally rely on the gravity potential of the fluid, but other turbines can rely on other components of the fluid's energy (such as heat and pressure in a thermal power plant). That said, even mind controlled hamsters can't run for 24 hours. I call shennanigans.
So, in the case of a jet engine or any other gas turbine, the gas is considered to be a liquid?
In my design, I would use very flatulent mind controlled hamsters. Hamsters that are fed beans and drink Guinness beer exclusively. Granted, it smells horrible but I don't have a mince up the hamsters as the parent does. The hamsters would fart into the gas turbine, and considering the methane component of said fart, would ignite.
Unless something really needs regulating, leave it the hell alone. Food? Fine we need an FDA to make sure our food isn't nasty and contaminated. They probably overstep their usefulness in some cases, and under step it in others, but that's expected.
Unfortunately, industry will stick their noses in when regulations are being written. Wonder why the FDA doesn't have many warning about the mercury in Tuna whereas private consumer groups do?
Let's just say, legally this would be considered hearsay, but it was said that the Tuna industry was literally looking over the FDA'a shoulder when those regs were written.
So, even then, Government is too easily corrupted. Unfortunately, I don't have a better idea.
Why would companies replace systems that are working well?
Because the director of IT or whatever his title is will want to be able to put on his resume that HE moved a company from a "Legacy" and "Outdated" system to a modern "web based solution" that enables "greater productivity" among the workforce saving "millions of dollars". Now, he can put that on his resume and go for the CTO, CIO, or whatever jobs.
I've seen it and it works.
You see, it's a technique. It takes years of practice. First, you drink a shit load of caffeine. Then, after it gets in your system, you bring up Slashdot. Then, and only then, you get in touch with your inner self, connect with the Universe, and connect with your higher power as you see Him.
Now, type blindingly fast "First Post". Hopefully, it will come out fist5 posts. See how I did that?
Again.
firsyt posts.
See?
Now, you try.
Troll indeed!
Time for the miracle of mass production and economies of scale.
Yes, for another brand. Tesla, I believe, will be a luxury sports car brand in the spirit of Ferrari. Meaning, technology developed for and by the luxury brand will then be perfected and moved to a grocery getter brand, maybe, the "Maxwell" or better yet, the "Edison" brand of cars.
Every woman who enters the sex industry is a head case. They have virtually NO self esteem and they use. Ask yourself, why does a woman do that? Many of them are actually pretty sharp, too. Some of them make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and they blow it. Some of it they blow up their noses.
Secondly, I see time and time again, men who give those people their hard earned money thinking that person "likes" them; hence why those women think men are losers and suckers. I'm not saying why I know this.
Comparing a stripper to a tech support engineer?!?! What?!?
God! I have to draw a picture every fucking time I post here! Jesus Fucking Christ!
OK, so what red-blooded geek male *wouldn't* want that job, tracking down the perps?
Strippers or any other woman in the sex industry basically thinks men are "suckers" and "losers". All women in the sex industry are head cases. Stay away from them.
On the eighth day, God created FORTRAN.
