All of them.
Programming isn't the only job where people act professionally. People working in the food industry know very well that doing their job badly can harm people, and take that responsibility seriously.
I've known a lot of people who called themselves developers who did not show anything like that degree of responsibility.
I feel that implying an insult to millions of good people who are doing a good job is not exactly nice.

Some do, others don't.
When money is involved, some people don't give a damn what happens to whom. As long as it increases their profit by an extra $0.01 per item, they will take shortcuts.
Look at the horse meat scandal of a few years ago: it was cheaper, so it got used instead of beef.
I've visited a lot of food companies for business over the years, and there are some who are excellent (Mars, Unigate) and some that I won't even go near the packet on the shelf! Those I won't name, they can afford better lawyers than I can - but one of our sales-droids described them as "the kind of company where you wipe your shoes on the way out".
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Sure, but it was processed properly and safely; there was no health risk.
No-one but a complete lunatic would intentionally do something to food that they know would harm people -- people can sleep at night after having ripped off money from your grandma, but not after having made her ill.
If you avoid eating cheap garbage from countries with low or "variable" standards (like the US and China), your food is safe unless something has gone badly wrong, somewhere along the line.

It's not only the people working with food that's directly intended to be consumed by humans, there's also those who deal with food for animals. As much as I like to believe those handling food for humans are responsible, I won't be so confident with those at the start of the food chain.

Reason #1 to never eat meat in the USA.

Is meat quality really that bad in the US?

Growth hormones, heavy metals, etc.
There are plenty of horror stories. Some of them might not be true, but smoke:fire.

Not sure whether that's true everywhere in the world. This can be a matter of concern for those who travel extensively.

Frightening. The good man pays the price.
I've seen some farmers in India protesting against Bt crops. But global conglomerates (won't name them) try to suppress them. All because of of money.

Yeah, well.
The trick there is not to live in Belgium unless you're a harder criminal than the rest of them and you don't have children.

Hi Guys... I don't know how to write SQL Scripts. Is there any good tutorials or lessons, please share.
Thank you.
|
|

|

Any programming question should be placed in the right forum (not in The Lounge which is not for asking about programming).
See the "discussions" or the "quick answers" menus in top of the CP web page.
Searching "how to write sql scripts" in Google will return a lot of samples and pages related to what you ask, but, keep in mind that a so wide question will receive vague answers, please, try to elaborate your question a little bit more: what have you tried, what you want to do, where are you stuck...
Good luck!

Assuming you're on SQL Server you should have a look here[^].
And if you're not, it's still pretty good.

Best guide around!  
Thanks!

Well, it is good.
Clear and easy to understand, as complete as you could ask for as a beginner, and no word diarrhea.

Stop, stop! This room is getting too small for my growing ego 
Seriously though, I do my best. Your kind words are very much appreciated

Hi,
I have gone through a lot of websites and seen the review about Nexus 6.
I have got a balanced feedback about the product. So, I am confused if I should buy it.
If you have used it, can you please highlight the difference compared to similar low priced android mobiles.
I would welcome alternatives too (android only).
Life is a computer program and everyone is the programmer of his own life.

Since you'll probably not keep it for long before upgrading again, why not get a better one for a lot less money?[^]
They're all made in the same factories, anyway. You'd just be avoiding the "redistributed by a foreign company" overcharge.

When it comes to 'Nexus', there is no doubt about performance. But you should keep in mind that you will be having almost 6" display. I can't even imagine having phone with such a large display. I'm using Nexus 5 since last 1 year and it's just awesome. Everything works like a charm on this device.
If you don't have problem with large display, OnePlus One is a great alternative to Nexus 6. Even, OnePlus is going to launch much better device OnePlus Two later this year.
