But?$400 Billion spent on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that doesn?t work and no one seems to need, and the Republicans don?t say a word. HUGE difference. Developing and prototyping a Military Fighter is nothing like writing a simple database... especially when you consider most if not all of the code is out there already, just needs to be compiled... A very dedicated high school student could probably write the site as a senior project in a couple semesters.... snerk If you look at PsychoSnotty's "iDesign" pages, you'll think a junior high school designed and programmed them. How do we know that Harry Krause could do any better than a junior high school designer/programmer? --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com These days, probably not as well. Kids these days never seem to come outdoors and play, so they must be doing a lot of compute ring. Our public website is a billboard... Most of the hard core "design" we did in the past revolved around making different systems and languages "talk" to each other... Here's the deal.. I will stipulate that "one week and ten grand" was a wild exaggeration for effect, but I made my point. If you understand that most of the problem with the ACA website was that too many different companies "shared the wealth".. (Probably half the money went to the paperwork you need to fill out to write a website for a local college for **** sake....) The problem was, too many companies, with different operating proceedures and structures for building a site, it was a case of "too many cooks spoil the broth". If one company had taken a team and written the thing, I still submit it could be done for a million or two.... probably less... You just have to get by the source here, and look at the facts... The fact is, the project was so splintered, it never stood a chance... That is so stupid it's beyond belief!! Just what you describe is done all of the time, all over the world! Not stupid beyond belief. Is why we have a lot of bloated bad software. Write a " hello, world " program for windows and just see how big the program is. All the class defining, windows subroutine calling. Why you now require a gigahertz speed, terabyte drive to run a home computer and get any throughput. Oh horse****! Windows is bloated because most people didn't know how to run a computer until they could click on a picture with a mouse. GUI it's of disk space. takes the computing power. Bull****. PARC developed the GUI and they ran on XTs. Go back to the original MAC and Windows GUIs and tell me how they did it without 2 gigs of memory and 500 g. The ultimate GUI is most of the shooter up games. Nowhere near the relative memory required to run WORD. Sure it ran on XT's THEN, when it was a small, mostly useless program. BS. How much more does the newest iMac do than a 1987 Mackintosh? The software is bloated because of the tools and the equipment. Nobody in the PC world worries about memory or storage. I did years of embedded system design and programming. We were limited to amount of memory and a requirement for speed. We had problems with new graduates coming in and not using the most efficient commands. In the 1960's / 1970's bank online mainframe systems had anywhere from 40k to at the max 8 megabyte of memory. That included IBM 303x systems. Sure the newer stuff is faster, and if you look at games, those programmers are some of the better ones. They have to program for speed. No one will buy a jerky screen update. If it weren't for the demands of th GUI, you'd not have "jerky screen updates". Also, other programs are getting more and more demanding. 3D BIM modeling is a perfect example. How many home PCs are running 3D BIM. Modeling? Quite a few. How many business are running a Windows machine for CAD design? Millions upon millions. Not major CAD. Horse****! Bull**** yourself. They are running PCs but not windows. Mostly UNIX based systems. You stupid fool! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...design_editors Sometime in the early 1980s, I had a client in Virginia who developed and was marketing a pretty sophisticated CADD program for architects. It ran on IBM PC type machines. There were also a couple of pretty sophisticated engineering CAD programs out there for PCs. -- Religion: together we can find the cure. |
