Absolutely. I live in Texas and my school district just sold a bond to build a 58million dollar stadium. It is amazing and stupid.

Yes indeed this is the model that IT departments should be aiming for. I have worked at corporate places that do have "developer" access and it worked well, if you can't manage your own machine it gets taken away.

Mr. President, There Is No (US) Engineer Shortage 580

Posted by Soulskill on Friday September 02, 2011 @12:56PM from the just-a-philosophy-major-surplus dept.

McGruber writes "Vivek Wadhwa has written an article in the Washington Post titled, 'Mr. President, there is no engineer shortage,' which addresses the perceived national shortage of engineers. Wadhwa slams China for its practice of applying the 'engineer' label to auto mechanics and technicians, yet fails to slam the U.S. for its practice of applying the 'engineer' label to sanitation workers, building janitors, boiler operators, FaceSpace coders, MSCEs and DeVry graduates. He also says, 'Some of [the U.S.'s] best engineers are not doing engineering, and some of its best potential engineers are not even studying engineering, leaving us short-changed in solving the important problems of the day.'"

This is spot on.

Exploration and Production is High Margin
Refining and distribution is Mediocre Margin

If the Oil trading group acts to maximize the profit, it could be at the disadvantage of the refining and distribution operations. It is a very very complex supply chain. This break up will allow Refining and distribution to maximise their own margin without regard for the upstream supply chain.

Oh so now we are trying to rehabilitate Rush?

The guy is a fringe idiot, and every now and again it seeps through. Just because you let black people appear on your program does not mean that you are not racist.
