What are we doing to get Ada *into* those jobs? If Ada is really so great and the guys who are picking C++ are such boneheads, then it really must be possible to start a company aimed at developing avionics computers that would just blow the doors off of the competition, right? They're just a bunch of boneheads who are picking the high cost, long schedule option for no better reason that this is what is "popular", right? Idiots like that ought to be *easy* to out-compete on the bidding of the jobs - if Ada really produces that much extra leverage. We'll be knee deep in $$$ by noon tomorrow, right? Or is our confidence in Ada's superiority not so high? Down off my soap box now. ;-) MDC Ed Falis wrote: > > > Jeez Marin, > > Reading an awful lot into a single job ad, don't you think? > -- ====================================================================== Marin David Condic I work for: http://www.belcan.com/ My project is: http://www.jsf.mil/NSFrames.htm Send Replies To: m o d c @ a m o g c n i c . r "Face it ladies, its not the dress that makes you look fat.
