There's a saying in the electrical engineering industries... IF you have a problem that "can't be solved", throw it at some guys who just got their bachelor's degrees -- and tell them that it's a simple enough problem that they shouldn't need micromanagement by the senior engineers.
Fresh-out BSEE's haven't been taught "you can't do that" yet.
I definitely agree with this, although there are only rare occasions when it's appropriate.
Yeah. IBM invented microcode so that they could make standardized CPU hardware,
Hmm, so you think that what Wikipedia has to say on the subject is wrong? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Wilkes#Other_computing_developments
Other scientists are saying "I'm not a professional, and so I don't want people laughing at my amateurish code" -- To maintain any sort of credibility, people who make any sort of scientific claims based on the results of computer code MUST put that code for inspection by people who, for example, actually understand the fact that a computer floating point numbers are *NOT* equivalent to mathematical numbers.
I definitely agree with this, too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
