"you're a tobacco-style propagandist."

A total non-sequitur. So much for you ability to reason.

As for your ability to comprehend, this is two new and different insecticides and the study has a laughable dearth of data points. Go rant about your organic vegetable garden somewhere else. You're barking up the wrong tree with me.

When did I ever say insecticides were good for bees? The myriad previous explanations for colony collapse have always prominently included various insecticides as part of the reason. Which is what you should learn to do: reason (and learn to read what is actually written while you are at it.)

Comment The State of Oregon has failed at many IT projects (Score 2) 163

I've worked on several fiascoes that the State of Oregon has tried to build over the last 30 years and they always end up as fiascoes. Motor vehicles, child support system, a consolidated database of Oregon state welfare recipients. They all failed for one reason. Oregon State workers are a bunch of lazy, incompetent, featherbedding incompetents.

They take off on sick leave for days at a a time without even notifying their bosses. Are promoted based on minority or gender status instead of competence, sit at their desks all day doing nothing but go to meetings coffee breaks and lunch, and have such a strong union that they can't be fired no matter how bad they are.

I don't bother working for them any more as every big project turns to shit because the workers don't care. They are FAR, FAR worse than federal workers who at least know how to effectively hand off the real work to competent contractors. Oregon State employees can't even manage that trick.

HTML5 has all sorts of client side processing and XML is sent back and forth between servers and clients in a blizzard of unnecessary tags.

If REST is so fucking obvious why were so many web apps written that weren't RESTful?
