will need dynDNS, not sure how well that works

Don't expect a Dyndns free account to work for longer than a year or so, even following the rules. I don't mind they want paid but if its a "time expirey" free offer, just say so upfront. I was using their client software which which was all up to date and they booted me for inactivity WTF. Still unemployed so, No I can't afford to pay them. I just need to lojack my daughter's laptop so it phones home. Trying http://freedns.afraid.org/ and wget. YMMV

We need some sort of holodeck that allows people to be fully immersed in their work environment without being physically present.

Management needs the holodeck to measure productivity by the level of discomfort on the slaves faces, its about the effort. The hardest working boss is always available to promote how hard he's working. Getting that image of "the hard working minions" to his boss is the biggest challenge. Show the boss your visible suffering and your most of the way to success in business.

"Peter, You've been missing a lot of work lately."

"poor oversight" is not the same as "accidently having an accident."

Do some reseach on Davis Bessie and all the alarms and best practices they ignored for costs. I'm betting the plant manager's kids don't live downwind like mine do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Davis-BesseHole.png

Anyone with thoughts about how the petition might have been worded to avoid this loophole?

They're lawyers, if you have to pin one down try a nail gun. The current age law slogan should be "We're assholes for loopholes." Politicians should serve only once using mandatory selection by random social security number, how could it be any worse than now?

The oath of office would be, don't be a douche bag.

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.

Comment Re:Sales is hard (Score 1) 202

I run a company where we are pretty good on the engineering but until recently were pretty bad at sales. (we're still not great but improving) And the result showed. We make a good product but that isn't enough by itself.

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