Too bad you are not friends with everyone.

• Structured
  • no line numbers, no brain damage.
  • Edsger might even like it....
• Interesting sharing mechanism
  • when you 'share' your program you are given a code to give to others so they can download
• I think it even compiles to an exe.... been a while since I have used it.

But if the only laws the government makes are to prevent cartels and mobs, but no other law, isn't there then a "Free Market"?

I suspect that the level of operator training may be somewhat higher too, even if it is on the job training.

Several factors mitigate this however 1) LAMP servers are not used day to day to surf the web and exchange email. 2) Usually the operator of the server will do as many of the tasks as possible as a non-administrative user, (This prevents a virus from spreading as fast) 3) Usually the operator of the LAMP server will be computer savvy. 4) In a large number of cases the LAMP server is run from a read-only image, or can be quicky re-imaged from a protected source - if malware gets a foothold. All of these are also true for an IIS server.

The "unauthorized parties" will use a $5.00 wrench to beat you until you tell them the password or as in the case of Great Britain, throw you in jail until you remember it.

It's probably easier to train willing exiles, er colonists than it is to find trained and ready people willing to take the one way trip.

So you can brick the processor? So I can replace the processor.

Only if your plan is to hurt the consumer. A tariff is like a tax, companies don't pay them, they just collect them. Low wage schmucks like me pay them in higher prices for goods.

It does help others find your previous work.

Heh... they have nixed a commodore 64 emulator, and an MSDOS emulator - quick someone whip up an Apple II emulator for them to nix.

Oh no, don't give them any new ideas ... In other news the "Lost Drivers Act" of 2011 has been passed - all car manufacturers are now required to include turn by turn GPS based navigation in all cars. (What they don't tell you is that the device also reports back to the eye in the sky whenever you ask for directions as well as your current location at any time - and it can probably shut down your engine like On*Star, you know in case some bad guy is driving your car)

Build the American autobahn- no entrance or exit except just outside larger cities, forms a backbone across the USA - no speed limit - 2 lanes each direction (inner lane reserved for passing only) - Perhaps charge toll.

I wonder if you are caught speeding but have purchased your pass for the day if the officer will charge you with reckless driving or if the accident you cause while permissive speeding will automatically be 100% your fault. (State saves money on investigation-bonus!)

Of course the developers have their own unit test environment. What I was talking about was an off-line environment where the final product is fully assembled and assumed to be ready for prime time. The very last test before going live.

The developers should have no access to that environment. There is a chance the developer will want to "fix the test environment" rather than "fix the bug in the program." The employees that operate that final test will write reports and the problems will get fixed that way.
