They should use a NoSQL multi-shard vertically intgrated stack with a RESTfull rails driven in-memory virtual multi-parallel JPython enabled solution.

Bingo!

He said "shit". He talked about people running out of room for their shit and having to get a bigger house so they could put more shit into it. And that is what 90% of what most people own is, shit. Even more so now that both software and hardware tech are designed around planned obselesence. That nice new smart phone or table you have will be shit in 12 to 18 months when the new model comes out. And your personal information is shit too. The price of all your personal information google has on you is probably less than $1.00 when they sell it.

Ponder that for a minute.

Necronomical Linguistics?

OTOH, having a common name which is that of a monster, such as Charles or Charlie Manson, is an advantage as well. They google you up and there is so much noise due to your evil namesake they give up.

Based on my experiences in corporate America, incompentence is the most likely explanation. Remember, the larger anorganization grows the IQ of that organization approachs that of the generalpopulation.

Teaching content which requires programming; science, engineering, language emulation, biology, robotics, etc.; is a "two for one". They learn content and then use programming to analyze and explore that content. Programming without context is useless for most people.

You haven't spoken to an HR department lately have you. Recently I had to file a ticket and then get into an email war with a gumby in India(?) after they shorted my paycheck. Why, pray tell, did they short my paycheck? Because they thought working 4 10 hour days was unauthorized overtime. It finally took the intervention of two managers to convince payroll that the overtime laws in the US were different than those in whatever 3rd world country with pretensions of greatness the person was from.

Don't for get to dump the backups to /dev/null

While the manager who purchased it the garbage, against the sysadmin's advice, gets to go skiing/boating/drinking etc.

Downward, not across.

Who hired them?

The wonders of spell check. Anyone care to debate "Pubic Policy"?

ONE partner did it, I don't think the others knew his motivation. Hence it being unethical.

You have a lousy legal team. Are they heavily invested in MS btw? I in fact worked for a start up where the partner in charge of tech bought only MS because he had stock in the company. Very unethical.

First off, given the fact that NSA created then cracked RSA type encryption about ten years before it was invented by RSA, all encryption should be considered cracked. I propose we make the next few months a "call a [Muslim | member of WAR | Tea partier | Socialist Workers Party | Wobbly | Other fringe group member] month]. Use a bogus code like:
Alice: The swallows fly over Tehran
Bob: Paris has many sparrows in the sky
Alice: The sky over Paris is glowing in the spring.
Bob: Springfield is a city in America.
Alice: In Springfield Homer prepares his couch.

etc.

Pump so much noise into the system as to make it useless.
