Maybe he can get the Boeing engineers to help him figure it out.

According to the article NASDAQ made 10.8 million profit by shorting Facebook in just one of their rule violations. So they aren't even getting fined as much as the profits they made violating the rules.

Because when most of started watching it, it was THE SciFi show. There really wasn't much else.

The other 2 central principles of Discoverability and Visibility, Metro fails at both of these as well. I accidentally opened a PDF in metro and after 5 minutes had to google how to close the app.

Roads are usually paid for with a gasoline tax. This worked out great when everyone drove cars as the more you drove the more you paid. The problem is as we move to alternative fuels there will be no one left to pay for the roads.

Bike lanes cost money to build, and money to maintain. They may not get worn out by the bicyclists but they still need to have the street sweeper run, the lines painted, signs posted, cracks sealed, etc. Around here the bike lanes are not used nearly as much as the rest of the street, I would say probably the bike lanes cost more per mile used than the rest of the street.

More likely, he has 12 of them in the back they just aren't selling, and $20 to have it cleaned and $20 to have it framed, $10 tops.

Robert Kearns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kearns

Invented the intermittent windshield wiper. Showed it to the big 3, they said no thanks, but then installed them anyway. Successfully sued Ford, but it took 12 years. Spent the entire amount suing Chrysler who took it all the way to the supreme court. Lawsuits against other manufacturers were dismissed for technicalities (by then he was acting as his own lawyer).

In this community SCO is as well known as Wal-Mart. It's been mentioned literally thousands of times on this site. (8300) vs. only 5000 hits for Wal-mart.

A generation or two ago they probably said the same thing about cars. Used to be you could overhaul your engine in your garage and people often did. The technology improved and you didn't have to know anything about a car to use it. People moved from tinkerers to consumers, the old timers complained about the kids who couldn't change a tire or set of points, and the kids saw no reason to learn it as there was more interesting things to learn in the world.

The cycle continues. The things we spent a lifetime learning don't seem valuable to our kids. And that's probably the way it should be. By now computers, like cars, should be a solved problem for most people.

If he's the only one complaining then he's probably the only one on the team who knows what code is supposed to look like. Getting standards written and having code reviews could very well make things worse. You'll have to write your code like him.

I missed a meeting one time and the team decided to write some standards. I came back and found some great new standards. e.g. Always declare all variables at the top of the method. Every function must have a try catch. All variables are set to nothing at the end of the method. etc. etc.

I accidentally opened a metro app and had to google how to close it. There is no excuse for that. But other than that I've been fine with just ignoring the metro part and treating it like a win 7 machine.

I think the main difference is it wasn't a drug company involved, it was technically a pharmacy that botched it. So it's traveling down an entirely different path.

You can say the same about leaches. Over the course of a life time the few cc of blood won't make a difference. It might just as easily be good for you if you happen to have certain medical conditions.

You can protect yourself easily with antibiotics, so why worry.

Finally, it could make someone else sick, and you'd be in a great position to pick up stuff cheap at the estate sale.

I'm confused. How can it the government be selling off massive stockpiles and driving the price down and there be a shortage at the same time. Surely they can't both be true.

On the other hand the insurance companies would benefit if we all went 20 MPH everywhere and never had a major accident. Actually getting to a destination in a reasonable amount of time is of no benefit to them. So maybe they aren't the most objective.
