The idea of having a GUI that eliminates typing errors, simplifies operations, logs the success or failure, and shows at a glance what configurations are set where is just so 21st century.
Yes, because creating a configuration file once and copying it to thousands of systems is just soooo haaarrrd.
Side-note: Linux has had front-ends/wizards/GUIs to create configuration files for a long time.
I work for Accenture, my counterparts in India cost 1/5 of my wage and in many ways equal my quality. I'm not going to stick my fingers in my ears and him loudly, it is the facts.
Well I've worked alongside Accenture for years, and if what you say is technically factual in the slightest that means that
a) You are as technically competent as your Indian peers
a) That standard of competency is not very high.
tl;dr Best to be thought a fool and say nothing, than to speak and remove all doubt
That's a little insensitive, don't you think? This is an article about the *Indian* military, so wouldn't a more accurate abbreviation be OMS (Oh My Shiva) or possibly OMV (Oh My Vishnu)? Just sayin'...
No, it would be "Robot of Killing. Fund Where; Pls do the needful"
After all the code-upgrades, slow-downs, Rob Malda retiring, and even changing-hands that Slashdot has done over the past...what...ten Years I've been coming here? It's the _community_ that impresses me.

When one company buys another they take on all liabilities (like long term contracts and loans) as well as all assets (like cash and computers).
I've seen a common "mating dance" between corp before one "absorbs" the other. Goes like this;
1) Owners of Corp A sign documents that merge all their agreed-upon assets into a new holding corp.
2) Another form is signed dissolving Corp A and liquidating all assets to Corp B.
3) Corp B signs the forms that acquire the Holding Corp that is no more than a skin-bag full of Corp A organs.
This is how Corp A gets rid of "if we get bought, we'll give employees X amount for Y years of service" clauses that you previously negotiated.

No it won't!..Yes it will!
No it won't!...Yes it will!
No it won't!....*sigh* No it won't! Wait, what?
I have no idea who got the bright idea to wrap kids in cotton for the first 18-22 years and then throw them to the wolves.
Although I'd *love* to take credit for that one....remember the WWII generation? They went to war as boys, came back as men, and stood on their own two feet. Everyone's been expected to follow the example they set when they returned to the homefront.
Then the hippies came....
I realize there may be a financial incentive for rewriting what is no doubt a fair chunk of one of the key "selling points" of the DOOM 3 engine, however I'm glad to see that this is being done so the source can be released *publically*. Even if not much comes from it, I personally enjoy going over the code released from id Software...it's like going and in time and watching Da Vinci with a hammer and chisel.
(Yes, yes "Carmack's no Da Vinci", but he is as close to one as most Programmer's can get.)
