Are you by chance an Engineer?

we change your title to "Whining Pussy Who Spent too Much Time in School"? It will help your colleagues understand that you are top tier talent not to be confused with the average IT guy. Seriously dude, if you are concerned enough to post this on /. you don't deserve the title of IT Guy, the ability to influence senior management, nor the responsibility of managing subordinates. Maybe you would prefer a position in marketing or sales.

It's about what's in your head and your heart and not what's on your business card or velcro'd to your cube wall. But if it makes you feel better you can print up a business card that says whatever you want for fairly reasonable rates and keep it next to your heart.

They where not in a public place. They where inside REI which is private property. Which is why REI banned him from returning for one year and he signed a trespass notice.

As an american owner of a company in south east asia this is normal here. I set aside 50% of my monthly profits to pay the locals. 30% to the police, 10% to the mayor, and another 10% to other random government officials to get things done. They stop by like clockwork every month to collect their "gifts". If I don't pay my business gets shut down or drugs are suddenly found in my house or property and I have to pay a lot more bribing everyone else to keep me out of jail. In some countries bribing or gifts is not about business as usual it's about survival.

I don't think it's pushy. Everyone needs goals and it's not like mum said you can't eat or leave the house unless you play Carnegie Hall.

What people fail to understand is that just like the Koreans in the 90s the Japanese where only selling small cars in the US in the 70s. The Japanese had a competitive advantage because unlike the Big 3 they would not have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to re-tool their manufacturing. The US auto makers could never have re-tooled their plants to provide the small cars needed during the timeframe of the oil crisis. When the oil crisis ended people wanted larger cars again and the Big 3 provided them while the Japanese was re-tooling.

Also, during this time the Big 3 where getting hammered but foreign competitors on quality. This is where the Big 3 really dropped the ball in the 70's. Their cost cutting due to limited sales in the 70s affected quality.

When you build tens of thousands of cars you have to sell what the market wants and clearly in the US that is large cars or SUVs. When you are a boutique manufacturer like tesla producing tens or hundreds of cars of year you sell to your niche which in this case is the upper income eco-fashionable. There is no point in mass producing cars that no one wants, can't afford, or cannot meet the needs of a broad section of the market.

At current production rates Telsa will product about 750 cars this year versus GM with over 150,000 cars delivered in March alone.

Speaking of petty thugs...

He gets re-elected.

How about we play it where they both are responsible for the success and failures.

Or we could just blame the Soviets. If they Didn't invade Afghanistan Carter and Reagan wouldn't have funded the opposition and they still might be a super power today. We've essentially traded one bogeyman (the Soviets) for another in Bin Laden.

Actually funding the Afghans against the Soviets started with Carter. Thanks for playing.

I don't think so under the current administration.

You have more faith in the UN than I do.

I wonder why it's just not called "the weather" anymore.

Wind causes cancer too. Anyone who has ever gotten cancer has been exposed to it. Not everyone who has gotten cancer has been exposed to the technologies you mentioned. Also, wind enables nuclear and coal power stations to cause more damage. Wind is a scourge and it must be stopped.
