I think this is an excellent question. While I know that this question is rather important in the US I don't feel as if it was as important in old Europe. I guess it's mostly a religious / moral thing that is not that important in secular countries.

Basically, as a GWM I think "It doesn't matter whether 'It's' a choice, my love-life is just none of your business." or in other words http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5YrB7TpT1Y

> the difference between a serial killer or someone who qualifies for the death penalty and an unborn child? Seriously?

I can't, at least not concerning that peoples life. Did you give life to them? What makes you think you should be allowed to take their life?

>Sun hardware was robust.

So robust that we had to send an entre RAID to Ontrack because of a firmware-glitch in 2001.

> No vaccination, by choice? Get the hell away from my kids.

What about if there's a measles case in too-young-to-immunized kids around them they should be held responsible. I mean - if you choose to be a danger to society you should not be part of it.

Sounds like she needs an iPad and an external keyboard.

Been there, aunt is happy.

> I bet it didn't study aromatherapy

I bet a PRG would be sufficient for this...

> Are they dumping toxic chemicals?

They are dumping toxic laws and precedences into judicial systems all over the world.

> Fair enough, but what is it backed by?
Mathematics.

> last I checked, the firewall GUI only exists in OSX Server

The firewall switch is in "System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall".
There's a button that reads "Start" and it is accompanied by a label that reads "Click Start to turn the firewall on".

I agree that this may be hard to find for some, especially if they can't read AND hear.

From my experience the optimum process just depends from company culture and team culture and how clear the requirements are.

The _only_ constant observation I made is that every project that did not test on every level, passionately, very early and continuously was doomed. If you don't define and prove quality you will not deliver quality. If you test you will define what you build. The more complete your tests are, and the higher levels they reach, the more you and your customer know where you are heading to.

"Just build your idea" may feel good at first, but your team will suffer and burn at the most inconvenient point in time.

DO TEST. A LOT. AND THEN MORE. AUTOMATE.
EMBRACE YOUR TESTERS. OR ELSE.

It's way easier to be creative if when can be sure that your project will not die a horrible death.
