Or Delphi.

Some older coders don't seem to know what they're doing, either. At my job I've taken over development of our in-house applications from the guy who was doing it before. Every single project apparently started out from the same template. That means there's lots of code in each project that is never used and just adds bloat. The code is spread out all over the damn place across different classes (when there is no reason for it to be), there are almost no comments, and having so much shared code means that fixing one problem inevitably causes something else to break. Oh, and there wasn't any source control in use when I started, either. The code must have moved around a few times because older stuff was missing and I had to redo it from scratch on one occasion.

I haven't seen regular for $2.xx since the early 2000s. The last few years, I haven't seen it under $3.xx more than once and that was only for a day or two.

I'm against regressive forms of taxation like sales taxes and excise taxes (some states even tax food, I shit you not). Tax the rich instead--they can afford it.

At least the Soviets had bread lines. Today's Republicans would simply let the lower classes starve because the rich need yet another tax break.

We can also get Yuengling east of the Mississippi and it's way better than Coors.

20% isn't steep enough. If employers really can't find qualified people in this country, then they won't mind paying double or triple the market rate to get people with the necessary skills.

My Photoshop CS2 serves me very well and will continue to do so until Gimp catches up.

Me too, especially since CS2 is effectively free now. Adobe shut down the activation servers earlier this year so they actually gave out activation-free CS2 installers AND their serials. It's the only non-douchebaggy thing Adobe has done in recent memory.

The rest of the world can finally see how god-awful their code really is.

And they wonder why people come to believe that capitalism is evil.

Sounds like you guys need to hire a tech writer.

Who doesn't want Cheney dead? When he finally dies, folks are going to celebrate knowing that vile piece of shit is gone forever. It's a shame there is no real Hell to send him to.

Wow, publishers actually accept a raw PDF as the finished product these days? Jesus.

LO/OO.o can produce passable old-fashioned doc files. However, editing a moderately-complicated docx originally produced in Word with LO will fuck it up every single time, I guarantee it.

A couple years ago, I was typing up/formatting a book manuscript with Lyx running on Ubuntu at the time. I might actually finish it one of these days.
