When is stability going to finally trump features?

In just about anything related to computers, there’s a tug of war between adding new features or fixing bugs. … in the general computing world, people don’t get sued for bugs, and adding new features is much more fun and sexy than fixing bugs.

I’m in total agreement with this guy. Just going for the free trackback here, heh.

KRT Wire | 03/20/2005 | Congress set to pass measure to keep brain-damaged woman alive

The Senate approved the measure on an unchallenged voice vote during a rare, Palm Sunday session that came amid charges of cynical political maneuvering. Just three members were on the floor and the bill’s prime sponsor, Republican Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida, served as presiding officer.

That’s right. With three senators voting, the majority(heh) of the press is reporting that this bill passed unopposed. That’s a 3% turnout, for those of you keeping score.

For someone who believes marriage should be between one man and one woman, Senator Martinez sure seems ready to involve a third party — the U.S. Government.

Third time’s the charm. My offer was accepted on a nice split level in Des Moines. Assuming inspection goes well, I should be moving in on April 15-16th. I’m excited!

Sure, buddy, why not take a right from the left lane, without looking!

From USA Today:

President Bush conceded Wednesday that private accounts do not address the projected problems with Social Security, but he defended his approach and said he wanted more input from Congress on overhauling the troubled system.
…
But he said Wednesday he will not be pressed into outlining a more specific plan to deal with the projected shortfall. “I have not laid out a plan yet, intentionally,” he said. “I stood up in front of the Congress and said, ‘Bring your ideas forward.’”

Hahahahahahaha. *wipes away tears* So this great idea of his, that everyone else but Greenspan said was a bad one, he now admits is a bad one. The best part is that he’s setting up Congress to take the fall for not following through on his (lack of a) plan.

It’s damn hot!
