On the other hand Java and Eclipse are shit.
I can't let this go without comment, I work with Java and Eclipse every day.
Java is a solid object oriented language, with widespread support and proven ability in production systems around the world.
Eclipse is an absolute delight, a joy for any programmer, and it's written in Java.
Where's the excrement?
"Minor things like your email client"
You obviously have never been forced to use Lotus Notes. I spend about 10 minutes every day waiting for that POS software just to update it's display. Another 20 minutes a week working out how to do something that is banal in any real email client. That's over an hour each week wasted on crappy software. One hour of my time, especially at the companys expense, is not minor.
When you spend all day working with software, and a lot of time with a particular app like an email client, the choice of software has a huge impact on your work environment.
Minor: no. Major.
i love idiocracy references
Gotta agree with that. I was moved.
Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, like, you know what I mean, like...
cool squad names
This is the military, everything is number sequentially. The best they would ever come up with is squad 001, 010, 011, 100, 101...
I wish I had mod points, that is funny.
They were just trying to feed their kids. Victims of a war they had nothing to do with.
It's ok, according to George Lucas they were just termites. And, let's face it, he should know.
if you are an astronaut an the mission has been rescheduled like 3 times because of failiures on the ship would you fly on that? i wont, i guess that bird its to old to fly any more.
You get a chance to fly into freaking space (ok LEO, but it's still space) and you're going to say no because the craft needs some maintenance? I'm going to guess you never bungie-jumped or sky dived.
I still can't agree that people should eat food and drive cars that they can't afford. I don't to see how health care should be any different.
Should we privatize the fire service? What about the police? Why should I pay for others to have their house fires put out, or from being saved from murderers and robbers?
Healthcare should not be provided based on how much money you have, unlike your example of bread vs caviar or Kia vs Lexus.
This is a case of Care vs Profit. Doctors and other health care professionals are trained to care. Hospitals, HMOs and insurance companies are in it for the profit. Profit wins out over training through coercive and/or surreptitious practices. For example, the doctors who work for HMOs may get bonuses for rejecting a certain percentage of claims or for rejecting the most claims. With NHS doctors are more likely to be carers first, profit centers second.
I watched "Sicko" the other day.
Every country with national health care has far lower costs then the United States, and overall greater satisfaction from the citizens.
Not to mention longer lives and lower infant mortality.
Pound for pound, the amoeba is the most vicious animal on earth.
