My understanding of Ayn Rand is as an existentialist story teller [AKA: writer/philosopher].
Journal Journal: Will Vista Kill Microsoft?
It used to be that Microsoft was the operating system that strove to be most easily usable by the lowest common denominator, and Linux was perceived as a tool only for the most serious geeks. So, by using Microsoft products for over a decade, end users had been, in some degree, 'dumbed down.' But the main intent, make no mistake, was to please the end user.

Journal Journal: He 'finally' recognizes global warming? 3
Okay, idiots in the 'media', *I* am the one who does not believe that humans make a dent in the global climate. President Bush has been drinking that Kool-Aid since 2001 or earlier.
Seems nothing can satisfy the National Socialist international press.
Was thinking about researching this tonight. Many thanks to the readers of National Review for doing it for me.

Head office was designed as a cubicle farm in the middle of a big room with conference rooms along all the walls.
The most important application was the meeting scheduler.
One fine day I got invited to a meeting at head office.
We leave the plant at 4 a.m. for a 5 1/2 hour drive.
At 10 a.m. we wonder into the meeting room, which was in a seperate building from head office cause all the othere were in use.
The first 1/2 hour of the meeting, the gent who called it is on his cell phone calling everyone else who was supposed to be there, telling them that this meeting was important.
OK a bunch of people wander in.
Each and every on fires up their laptops, go the the meeting scheduler and start preparing for the next meeting.
The meeting itself took a half hour to decide that most people were not ready for the meeting and we would have another.
Then we drove back.
Not long after the CEO (who was new to the job) made a policy change.
"From now on, Thursdays will be no meeting days. Security will not unlock the conference room doors & will do walk throughs to toss out anyone caught in a conference room. Please take advantage of these meeting free days to get something of value done."
Happy times.
