JFC! I've been going through this at work today - the developers of a third-paty app designed the app for low utilization companies - our company is a bad fit for this software. We're in the top 500, and our usage patterns expose every scalability flaw in this software...


to me that sounds like a market waiting to be developed: some enterprising (get it?) coder can cook up an IDE and compiler and target the XP market.


"profits from the web server market"... WHAT profits? Apache & Nginx are both... wait for it... FREE! So is the underlying OS. And who's number 1 and 2 in the market? Oh yeah, Apache and Nginx...


just go to where the jobs are, duh!


If Moses had been a government instead of a person he would never have made it down from the mountain with the Commandments. We really need to reset government. Or maybe mandate that every law has an expiration date, no more than x years in the future (x being some value shorter than a legislators term).


Now all men and women are slaves. Just buy a gun and not register it. You sir, are deluded that we are freer.


You're right, gun registration is the moral equivalent of chattel slavery. Even though it doesn't exist in my state, or in fact in most states. And clearly, gun registration is the obvious effect of the Civil War.


I don't see how it was an obvious effect of the civil war, the first registration legislation came shortly after prohibition in the form of the National Firearms Act under the argument that it was need to help control the mob.


I was being sarcastic.


OK sorry, I don't pick up on it some times in written form.


Yep, makes perfect sense: develop a cheap, cost-effective nuclear reactor design with someone who is a big competitor to the US, and who our children will most likely have to fight a war against. Yeah, perfect sense.


Gotta say - the whole breastfeeding-prevents-ovulation myth needs to be ended. I have two children 11 months apart, a third a year and a half after the second. All of my children were breastfed - and it didn't stop ovulation.


I should have said that it tends to inhibit ovulation. I don't believe it's a myth though. It's just not a perfect mechanism.


right, then EVERY transaction will be traceable. No anonymity for anything you buy.


that would be highly ironic, considering .Net was MS's response to Java.
