Ah.. thanks

Umm, isn't that showing that you are (potentially) vulnerable? I.e. the "echo completed" is being executed. Change that to some other arbitrary shell command, e.g. ls -al

I voted for the current government. Why? Because of the fiasco with the previous government changing leaders every 10 minutes and some proposed legislation (by the current opposition) I didn't -- and don't -- agree with.

The problem from my point of view is that I voted to try and make the best of a bad situation. Unfortunately, both major parties seem to have the same policy ideas! So, shit, they may as well be the same party. How can we elect leaders when they all seem to have the same ideas (well, once elected)? So, as mentioned I am part of the problem (because I gave them my vote) but what is the solution?

Anyone would think that we're a country led by the USA rather than a Commonwealth country of Britain. It's stupid. And this all started with the Free Trade Agreement. Personally I'm sick of the USA sticking their nose up other people's arses, but I'm out of ideas on what to do about it.

You're probably joking, but the OS is VxWorks.

Terror? People were terrified by this? Really?

Nope. It's a waste of time. Much of the time the people writing the unit tests are the same people writing the code, so their assumptions are also in the unit tests.

For what other purpose would you put your employer in your linkedin profile?

And what, exactly, does using an "interface builder" to build a GUI program teach you? Nothing. Respectfully, it seems that you seem to be part of the problem rather than the solution.

Commercial IDEs from vendors like Apple and Microsoft are "better"? Better for what? I think that after a statement like (in addition to the "gui builder") that you need to take a step back and consider what your stance is and how well you really understand things.

Tell me, what is the "order of the algorithm" that the gui builder generates?

I know that editor's at slashdot have a reputation for not editing summaries, but this has got to be the worst example of a summary I've ever seen. Perhaps Timothy's shift key is broken, or is it now acceptable to start sentences with a lowercase letter? Proper nouns seem to have escaped the need for an uppercase letter as well. I normally just ignore typos in the summaries, but this is beyond belief.

That might be interesting if: (a) somebody didn't reference the law every time they see a headline ending with a question mark (i.e. every couple of minutes) - I assume to look intelligent; and (b) if it were actually true. Did you know that any headline ending in a question mark can also be answered 'yes'? Or even, shock, 'maybe', or even more shocking 'possibly'?

I agree that the grammar could use a lot of work, however their name is Panagiotis. This name suggests to me that English is not their native language, so I'll cut them some slack. Delving deeper, the name Panagiotis suggests that the person is from ancient Greece. I'd have to do some more research but it's even possible that they're from a period even earlier than the so-called Archaic Period. This dates them at somewhere between 2000 and 4000 years of age. Given the transformations that all languages have experienced throughout the last 2000 to 4000 years it seems reasonable to expect some differences in grammar and punctuation.

Finally I got 5th post!

The only thing detracting from my enjoyment is that it's possibly the last post in this thread as well.

a) because it's behind a paywall; and b) how can the original data even hope to be located when a majority of the population can't even read the paper?

What happens if they do make a billion dollar fuck up? They get a big golden parachute and dismissed. Big deal; i.e. there is no risk for them.
