But don't expect to write code that keeps a 777 safely in the air. That is the type of scenario that we need discipline, not creativity.

Is just an ignorant statement; because the two are not exclusive of each other. The creative mind may come up with a piece of code or test scenario solves many problems elegantly; and avoid a disaster where a disciplined mind would have just written to some poorly written specs (all specs are poorly written).

Comment Criminal Activities (Score 1) 170

I believe that the criminals too are in information overload. They have sooooo many stolen identities that they just don't know what to do with them all. .... NOW.... All we need to do is pollute that with bad information as to cause them and their customers to question the validity of the data and stop buying it.

" No, there are not, nor will there ever be Death Panels."

They won't call them Death Panels they'll call them 'Quality of Life' consultants and when the cost of your care exceeds a target you'll be evaluated on whether the money spent will actually give you a standard of life deemed necessary to continue the expense. It will be a necessary cost cutting measure, the average person at the 'end-of-life' (age) costs 2 million dollars in the last 4 months of life. To think that there won't be cost cutting measures in that area is ignorant!

WTF! What an insulting asshole! The best work-ethics in america can be found in Iowa. Let me enlighten your stupid ass, Iowa sued MS over some pricing crap, and they eased the $$$ on the settlement when then they unveiled plans to create jobs here. The suit was settled, a year later MS pulls the plug on their plans. Fishy. But not as stupid as your comments.

I had typed out a long reply trying to educate you, but I lost it then said WTF, you'll never really understand it. City idiots thinking that gardening and farming are the nearly the same thing and that were going to loose all our farm land to developers. I do remember I wrote MORON at the end though.

I agree with you second paragraph on cars, your first paragraph on corn prices and starving people is an easy sell to the uneducated and uninformed, it is just not true.
The price of corn has NOTHING to do with people starving.
Your theory is when corn is less than $2/bushel every one eats well and when it goes to $4+/bushel people are starving, yet that is NOT EVEN CLOSE! The farmer produces the same number of bushels whether the price is $2 or $4, one hurting at $2/bushel is the farmer, yet people go hungry no matter the price.
Hunger can't be tied to the price of the crop to the farmer! MORON.

Comment File distribution management (Score 1) 291

I wrote an application that I implemented on 20,000+ machines that replicated files over 256kb WAN lines using UDP, because UDP is connectionless is at a lower priority than TCP.
It sent 1 kB/sec for a total of about 8GB a day. Of course it was no easy task (2yrs development) to create a protocol that can detect and recover missing parts of a file then reconstruct the file when it is complete. As well as replicating to machines that were off when they were turned back on. It used MS SQL server to maintain the file lists, sends and WAN connections. It ran for a couple of years.
My work canned the whole thing in favor of Microsoft SMS, because it has web reports I guess. Not many company have as many branches as we do (>1,000)
