this is EXACTLY the sort of reason I always have thrown my chips in with FreeBSD, not Linux.

Government projects like that tend NOT to use libraries and so not get benefit from a more popular language either.

I use both, regularly, depending on the language.

*insert joke here about 228 and weight*

I would say it's more like the decoy is a crowd-control summon.

Excuse me, what? How does a web application framework like Ruby on Rails try to automate nearly everything for the developer? Are you basing your opinion on it on trade materials?

What a retarded waste of resources. A media circus helps no one. The for-profit medical industry in this country isn't meant to help anyone get better if more profit could be squeezed out by keeping them just barely happy and not ever getting better. This is most especially true for mental healthcare.

You've never attended a conference, apparently.

I work at NASA. All bureaucracies are the same. Trust me. The standards are for tunnel vision.

Pretty sure you got told you should either add it yourself or pay a bounty if you're too lazy.

You are clueless. OS X contains a LOT of BSD code. Linux contains a lot of code that was rewritten because it was "not invented here" -- maintaining architectural similarity with Unix. OS X is not BSD-derived. OS X is a BSD. Linux is Unix-derived, though, because it was not meant to be original.

Are you serious?

unsigned int line = 1;
while (!done) {
try {
while (!done)
dostuff(i++);
} catch (excepion &whatever) {
logstuff();
}

It autonomously drives itself home to charge.

I would love to integrate a Kinect sensor into this design and change the control scheme a bunch....

I've been using Ruby for a decade and yet to find much suck. I love working with the language. Where should I be looking, pray tell?
