Frank of course is a sheep molesting, pathological liar and all around
putz, doofus and world class moron. We all got your number Frank. No
matter what you say, we know you're a psycho, a pervert and mental
midget with absolutely no redeeming qualities at all.

No you stated NO FACT. The article clearly mentioned Vista.

Please don't mention sheep molesting in comp.os.linux.advocacy because you
are sure to wake up Roy Schestowitz.
There is good reason why he is known around the campus. as "baaaa baaa
Schestowitz"

It still highlights the general poor quality of MS-Windows programming
methodologies spilling into serious software development cycles and today's
design techniques. While software has become more complex, it is also true
the teams developing it are much larger, better funded and generally less
disciplined. We somehow think a business NET ad-hoc programmer makes a
embedded systems programmer, and that is a fallacy for greed.
Quite frankly, it scares me to think MS-Windows is in command and control of
some warships, or even anything else. I wouldn't even board a cruise ship
if I thought it needed MS-Windows to make it go. Leave MS-Windows in the
pursers office, or the cocktail lounge. But not on the trim, power,
navigation -- sorry -- just don't trust the crap.
But people have already died because of MS-Windows insecurity and it isn't
widely acknowledged. Take the big NE power outage a couple of years ago.
At first, US said Canada did it, then Canada said the US did it. When in
fact it was some Microsoft Windows virus on a SCADA control network making
response so pitiful the power grid popped off line. Those dependant on
electricity, say a home medical device of some sort, some died.

Yet we blindly fall into the pit of MS-Windows is good everywhere. When it
is clearly, as in Vista's case, and unpredictable over complex piece of
bloatware not fit for use anywhere except a wet fanboys dreams.
We need to get back to basics in this business and skip the caffeinated hype
turkey talk.

In article <1l1i4zt4ow56w.1le5ew7pmd4of$.dlg@40tude.net>,
Might have been who ever NASA used as the subcontracter. Remember how
Lockheed Martin went off and put English standard units into equations
designed for Metric units and got the Mars Climate Orbiter clobbered?
When I went to college in the mid 1980's our physics book used metric so I
couldn't understand this. I mean why on Earth would anyone outside the
automotive industry use English standard units?!

I believe they did a similar thing with the Hubble as well.
One team was using English the other metric.
Personally, as an Engineer, I could never understand the reasoning for
Englsih vs MKS.
The problem is thinking and converting.
Example: Typical American (like me) knows a foot is *this long* (stretch
your arms out) but has no idea how big a meter is.
They are constantly trying to convert which makes a mess of things.
If they were taught in terms of MKS their would be no problem.
