Solution. Design an Documentation oriented language. Just write the documentation, and the software will be written automatically.

Or an artificial intelligence system that parses the code and, from a big database of programming design and bibliography, write nice and concise documentation.

Maybe it could be achieved with a bunch of reverse engineering documentation monkeys, ;-)

There was a hard drive in an open box for a ridiculously low price. I bought it without checking the contents, and got home to find an ancient hard drive in the box. The store refused a refund and I sued.
I suspect employee theft plus collusion with the store, or else how was the drive on display for so cheap?
Fuck you Best Buy.

Bone alignment? Do you really think your bones can get out of alignment without leaving their sockets? If you are having problems with your bones go to your doctor, not a chiropractor.

that's why you pay a good sysadmin (for a lot of money) if you need good security, and don't if you don't.

if your server is important economically or even supports some life saving tools/etc and it doesn't have a good sysadmin, that's your error.

If you get an unimportant server hacked, well, no big deal. Rather that than being disabled or die etc by like.. far.

on the other hand, you probably want 100% of the surgeries to be successful.

You have to learn how to lie well. Job ads often read like, "Ten years of pure experience using ONLY A, B, C and D." If you take them literally, then nobody will fit them due to the shear combination impossibility.

First, I am a Libertarian. It is was you neo-cons that applied it yourselves. Basically, the reagan and W type of politicians that we can no longer afford. And you neo-cons/teabaggers are the ones that killed the fiscal conservatives.

This is delusional. First off, the Libertarian party is run by truthers and John Birch-style cranks. It has no coherent platform beyond "cut my taxes and your services". It will never, ever be a serious party in the US without a wholesale change in both charter and leadership. The Tea Party people are the ones who are the actual fiscal conservatives these days, and the fact that you label them "teabaggers" and lump them in with neocons displays a shocking ignorance. You call yourself a Libertarian but your political outlook is bog-standard dorm room Marxist.

Because the more that you launch the lower the fixed costs. That was the idea of the shuttle that Nixon pushed. Sadly reagan killed that.

Because it's not true in practice. Launching the Shuttle a bunch of times only makes each flight marginally cheaper because it was designed for performance instead of operations - there's simply too much that has to be done between flights. So great, instead of paying a billion a flight you have the cost down to $500m (and here I'm being generous), but to do it you need to quadruple the NASA budget so you can fly every couple days. Not that you could do that anyway with only four shuttles.

Doesn't make sense. We will never, ever have practical access to space with the shuttle, no matter how aggressive the launch schedule is. And what are you going to do with all those flights to LEO now that you have no money for anything but launching?

Later the neo-con congress of 2000 forced NASA to not develop VASIMR or transhab. Thankfully, a patriot pushed transhab into BA, while an astronaut/engineer/physicist with the help of NASA created a new rocket engine.

There was never a neocon congress. Is that your definition - "a neocon is someone who does something I don't like"? No wonder your world is full of them.

VASIMR isn't the holy grail of rocketry, it's just a new twist on ion engines. It will never be powerful enough to be used as a primary stage booster. In other words, it does nothing to get us out of the blind alley we went down forty years ago. I have a lot of respect for Chang-Diaz for not giving up, but even if everything works out the way he wants it won't have much effect on the overall picture.

People who oppose Democrats != Republicans

People who oppose Republicans != Democrats

That is the biggest load of bollocks I have seen in a long time!

It's just laughable, the old man couldn't buy phonographs so he turned to drink and was constantly drunk? how about spending the money he bought the drink with on records?

The whole piece is complaining about other people getting stuff, even trivial stuff, and yet he couldn't?

And then they all become alcoholics? Where did they get the money?

Not to mention the premise was each according to his ability, so if productivity went down it means there were slackers. The idea is to root out the slackers, not make others compensate for them. Were people afraid to tell others to pull their weight?

The whole thing is a big joke, for fucks sake grow up!

should read > Nokia will make easier to keep tabs on you.

And just how would that work, with maps that are stored on your phone and no network access required?

By the way, Nokia seems like they are touting their gps feature as unique among cellphones. This phone I just got has been around for a while.

No, Nokia has had GPS with free downloadable maps for ages, what is unique is free drive navigation and free walk navigation that doesn't require a network connection to use, plus free events guides, free Lonely Planet guides and free Michelin guides.

That is absolutely correct.

Theism is not a religion, it is simply a belief in God(s).

You can be a theist and still say fuck God, I'm going to do what I want.

You can be a theist and not agree with any of Earths religions, past or present.

Theism is not a religion and atheism is not a religion either.

1. I just tried it in 00 2.4 and it works.

2. Good job they can then.

3. That you're just making stuff up?

Sudo does it in a different way, only requiring the use to type his *own* password

Sudo can be set up to require the password of the account that is using sudo, the password of the account being requested, or no password at all.
