So was iran in 1950s. So was panama in 1980s. That didn't prevent USA from replacing the regimes with dictators. Somehow a USA supported dictator is manna, while others Are bad.

Which is the business of law making should not be left to government. We end up having laws that are detrimental to people.

Anyone the Republicans hate must be a good guy.

Nothing grabs a politician's attention like a donation. Attach a note to that PayPal email and state your request.

Thank you. Irrespective of how many lawyers we get to put in a good contract, we find Infosys one step ahead. They ALWAYS seem to find a way to screw us. I guess, its the price you pay for hiring them. Only in Software do you pay a Consultant to screw you.

That explains a LOT of things for me. I guess there is a special place in hell for Consultants.

Where the fuck is Steve Jobs? Guess counting iTrojans in iHeaven. Stupid moron.

Fragile, inconsistent state of Politicians who seek to reinstate God as Creator and consider any Science as heresy is the REAL cause of lack of space exploration. Someone should pull a Valerie Plame on every fundamentalist politician who seeks to replace Science with Religion. His sex tapes should be published on the internet and would be better if it were Gay.

The British Empire fell because most of the entreprenurial souls were sucked into running the empire instead of doing business.

As someone who hires Infosys as a vendor, i can say this with confidence: 1) Infosys Consultancy is a Brilliant organisation who can actually bring value to a client. 2) Infosys Delivery is a piece of shit that is like the useless two frontlegs of a T-Rex. Attention to detail? Infosys is paid to follow the rules of the company that hires it: not its own inane rules. Infosys tries to bill us for doing their work. Their approach has been : "When the weight of the paperwork equals that of the plane, it will fly". Worst of all, most paperwork is Infosys-own crap- and they try to bill us for producing their compliant stuff. 3) Schedule: slippage is common, even when Infosys tags a 40% buffer. 4) Unless you have a clear, contracted say in what resources they give you, timelines, etc., they will take you for a ride: Their consultancy wing will dazzle you and make you sign a fixed-bid blackbox contract. Then, their delivery wing will come in and negate everything that the consultancy told you. They will stuff their project with 90% freshers from the market. 5) Once i asked Infosys to give me an experienced Business Analyst to handle a business workshop with me. The person landed next day from India. He was a mainframe developer who was the only one available. When asked, the Infosys manager cooly said: "You said you needed an experienced BA. Well, he is experienced in mainframe and he is now a BA. Poof! " I was stunned. Infosys hires the top 99% percentile from the market and acts as such. Each developer, each project manager and each delivery manager is a prima-donna and has a "without us you would be dead" attitude. They get paid to manage their paymasters. Weird, isn't it?

Nahhh. Its Students who are the problem. They don't come to school with a zeal to learn. They come to kiss, fight, blame, and all other things, except learn.

I HATE MATHS. Why? Because my friggin, match teacher kept hitting me with a cane each time i made a mistake. I developed a healthy dislike of the teacher and the subject he taught, and after 30 years, i still don't understand maths. And, am in Computers as a software architect ! Go figure.

Kodak was actually more strategic and forward thinking than most American companies. It is easy to fault Chrysler, GM and American Steel, since their CEOs were interested only in next quarter. But not Kodak. As you rightly said, they entered Digital photography and could have been the leader if they had leveraged their huge distribution network. To add to that, they allowed digital cameras to become a commodity, like kerosene and calculators and PC's. Once something becomes a commodity instead of a product, the costliest manufacturer gets clobbered. That is why Apple products are NEVER a commodity. They are special products. Kodak was right in everything, putting all its eggs in one basket, but somehow they failed to make the leap that Canon or Olympus did. Hell, Olympus or even Nikon is more respected than Kodak for its digital cameras. You can't pinpoint Kodak's failure on bad management, bad products or bad quality ( i still buy Kodak films for my camera), or even bad strategy. They did not fail due to internal reasons. They failed because they fought on the enemy's territory instead of under their own skies under their radar cover.

...Stalin had no use for Lawyers.

Actually, Joe McCarthy was accurate in many aspects. That is why reports ABOUT him from FBI are blocked and many of his papers are either too restricted or have disappeared. Try fetching information about him under FOIA. See how much you can get.
