"and do absolutely nothing except provide for 'snack/bathroom break' time during the show" I wonder if Advertising is responsible for the rise in obesity in the US population then? Isn't it a bit like Pavlov/Behavioural ? Once you get up to fix a snack during a break, you ALWAYS get up to fix a snack during a break, except when you are going to the restroom to relieve yourself of the aforementioned snack?

So when I'm out for a walk, and I try to whistle back at the birds to get them to respond (and sometimes I'm close enough to get a response) I have to pay royalties? What about duck calls? You don't want to tell a guy with a gun that he owes you money... ROTFL

Reminds me of the training video "Meetings, Bloody Meetings" with John Cleese

What happened to peer code reviews? Maybe it;s not 'quick' or 'agile', or 'extremee', but a code review is where you tell the programmer "You need better comments in here. etc. etc"

duh! guys, not 'How fast does your ISP advertise'

My ISP says 25Mbs, but I've never seen anything like that

House was O.K. , but both of my cars are Fords with 'Activsync' running Windows.. They know my GPS location and they can download my phone book, but they couldn't set my clock. I had to do that manually

Harass people at their homes? Try to force their way into people's homes? Really? Any evidence for those statements? Certainly Unions are not perfect, but they are better than the alternative - Matewan...

"You can't learn that in college, and the smart managers know that." The you missed the whole point of college. In school they baby you, in college it's entirely up to you to do the work outside of the lectures/labs and how well you do it. In other words, learn how to learn.. That's what hiring managers know about you when you have a degree - doesn't even have to be a CS degree. "This person can learn how to program from a book, or one their own "...

As an HP consultant once told me. HP was a company that measured everything (before they spun off Agilent). they determined that they could use a pretty slow chip (PA-RISC) and slap a bunch of cache on it and out perform the Alpha, which was a beter chip, but with less cache..

'carbon black' sounds interesting. Could that be used for Ink jet refills?

Cue the movie 'Idiocracy'...

This could put the State of Delaware out of business. There's a reason so many US companies are incorprated there. What't next? The Cayman Islands?

Obviously they have discovered that the friction of the atmosphere and the ether is causing this.

I'm sure there is no thought that managing the servers remotely from 8 miles away means that they can also be managed remotely 2,000 miles away. This is an alternate explanation for 'server hugging'. People are trying to hold on to their US-based jobs!
