Comment Mission Statement (Score 1) 301

Agree with your executives what your mission is: security, stability, reliability, user friendliness, whatever...

Then the reports you need are those that demonstrate how well you are fulfilling you mission. Anything else is just extraneous BS.

Yeah, besides the drinking tea and screwing up Patton's plans and calling chips crisps and drinking tea and heating up beer and using metric system but not really using it at all and making tiny but really cool cars for stealing gold from the Italians and Jeremy Clarkson and drinking tea...

...what have the Brits ever done for us!?

Just imagine the amount of bashers if the news would had read;

Windows Vista is causing outrage and frustration, with early adopters wishing they'd stuck with previous versions of the Windows. Blank and flickering screens, failure to recognize hard drives, defaulting to the old kernel, and failure to get encryption running are taking their toll, as early adopters turn to the web for answers and log fresh bug reports in Windows forums.

This again comes from the fact that both Windows and Mac OS X releases are properly tested and maintained and tend to be in more professional quality.

But why don't the Linux distros go to same lenghts? It shouldn't be impossible, unless of course, commercial projects are maintained more professionally.

I know I shouldn't feed a troll, but I just can't resist.....

Outside of downloading, I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 (RC1) in about an hour - mostly unattended (while I was doing other stuff as well).

A friend of mine who is a complete MS fanboy is currently at 4 days and counting for a Windows 7 upgrade.

I think I value my time too much.

Not that I disagree with the principle of performance related pay, but how you judge performance can be manipulated in such a way that massive yields are made and everyone gets rich - when in reality the company is heading straight for bankruptcy.

At which point, of course, the government bails them out and they award themselves huge bonuses (for being good socialists)
