Again? When was the list time YOU uttered that phrase?

It sounds rather like these people should be promoted no? What business doesn't want the guys who go "with the guaranteed seller that will no doubt create an impressive revenue spreadsheet"?

so, is this 9 lines of code, or 1? as bad as lines of code is as a productivity measure, I would say number of code statements would be a better one. It would still be a bad one though.

Agreed. Simply putting a computer in a classroom has no effect. Without incorporating it's use as part of the curriculum, what is most likely to happen is that it will sit there unused. There also has to be the support in place to maintain them.

No red tape, no bureaucratic processes, no politics, no concern about being polite and correct about everything. Also, no customer support. It's a wonder what you can accomplish by not giving a shit who you inconvenience. Just get the job done well enough that it works.

The next day, userx who has a little bit of know-how has gone home renamed said .exe file to .ex!, comes into work the next day, copies it to his desktop, renames it again, runs it and infects himself.

Why does it have to be an easy transition? They're in the military, give them OpenOffice on *nix, and tell them that's what they use now.

Lame Duck Challenge Ends With Free Codeweavers Software For All 433
gzipped_tar writes to tell us that The Codeweavers "Great American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge" has ended in surprise and free software all day Tuesday (October 28, 2008) at the Codeweavers site. A while back Codeweavers gave President Bush a challenge to meet one of several goals before he left office. One of these goals was to lower gas prices in the Twin Cities below $2.79 a gallon, which has since transpired. "How was I to know that President Bush would take my challenge so seriously? And, give the man credit, I didn't think there was *any* way he could pull it off. But engineering a total market meltdown - wow - that was pure genius. I clearly underestimated the man. I'm ashamed that I goaded him into this and take full responsibility for the collapse of any savings you might have. Please accept our free software as my way of apologizing for the global calamity we now find ourselves embroiled in."
