I've had moth larvae in chocolate candies, I made it through one or two but it tasted off a little. When I saw them wriggling about I had to tell the rest of the room, much hilarity ensued. The reactions were less than positive, no one wanted to finish the bag. It was cheap Tequila shots all around and that tasted worse than the larvae. Always keep good booze on hand your guests deserve it, furniture polish for larvae its better than Tequila.

That was the best post I've read all day with that one exception. Go try to find a lawyer or businessman that's ashamed of anything they do, I'll wait here.

Yes that really is better.

Maybe the bigger problem is not enough engineers in the purchasing decision loop. I think sales is a symptom of an uneducated customer.

More like enforcers or police, they can't relinquish control without an order from a higher authority. Unfortunately they don't believe there is one.

There are old hackers and bold hackers...

Costs aren't really an issue in medical software it gets passed down to the patient. My experience was with hearing aid software from Seimens that ran on windows 98 and wouldn't install on a partition greater than 2gig. You had to have this software to sell the hearing aids and program them, no hippa issues just greed. I think it was ok on windows xp as long as all the partitions were small. The owner didn't want to pay a ~$5000 upgrade fee, Seimens are just a bunch of thieves. Don't get me started on diabetes meters and data cables.

Is it time to invoke Bill Hicks' law of marketing?

Not enough fireball black smoke radiant energy, the bomb had that homemade white smoke - black powder look, not that I'd know. Yeah, teabagger malcontent, bubba meets earl terrorists, would be a good guesses.

After 40 I just don't care what gives Lumberg a stiffy anymore, new skills entertain me. Business's needs change daily and it's always the shiny new skill they gotta have, proficiency is always an afterthought. Like a room full of tweens waiting for Beiber to puke up something new. I hate peppy, gushing with all that enthusiasm (its like a tampon commercial), they'll beat that out of ya after a few years kid.

In the backwoods midwest, Bowling Green, Ohio you could buy ammo, alcohol, and tobacco at the local convenience store until 2001 or so. I haven't been back there recently.

Paraphrasing Lewis Black: Throw a dart at a map of the country, put a monkey in a plane over the nearest city to the dart in the map. Push the monkey out of the plane (with parachute) over said city, and wait for monkey to grab some person's hand after landing. That your new leader, its gotta work better than what we've been doing.

I had this sudden urge to try out google dns earlier this week.

Call it "chasing the eyeballs", it's just tech harvesting p/r and ad money. It's really funny like a dog chasing its tail.

Same kid of shit my old boss would say like "when our ship comes in". The bigger boss pulled him aside and told him not to say things about when the important people got rewarded, and that we didn't belong to that group. My job and yours is to weigh anchor and row vigorously while they water ski.

I got the last laugh, the company barely exists now, that ship was really a trap, our captain gave away the company jewels without verifiable data metrics.
