"Please do the world a favor and discourage people from using the phone"...
That's the dumbest thing I've read today. To say that typing to on another is in every way superior to a phone conversation is ridiculous. It might have some benefits over the phone, but c'mon.
I admit I might prefer not to talk directly to people some days, but it ALWAYS ends up a better use of 3 minutes than 20 minutes of typing crap back and forth...
And my 2 cents on cubes. It keeps me awake and working. The few private offices I have had were very useful for napping, for sure.:-)
Vista will rock, there is always Service pack 1, 2,..., n, and countless Vista updates to make our computer experience as, umm, as pleasurable as possible...yea, that's the ticket.
Maybe the first one will suck, but, yes, Vista SP 3-10 or so will rock.
I believe that most of what the U.S. does is driven by self preservation and some level of moral high ground (this may be naive, but I do hope it's true in most cases), so I prefer this definition from wikipedia:
"Terrorism is a term used to describe violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians by groups or persons for..."
The keyword is civilians. I don't think the U.S. uses terrorism in that sense ever...true? In fact, I would hope we never resort to such slimy tactics...disclaimer: evil is not limited to one nation or group of people, so exceptions to any rule does occur, especially in War.

If technocracy is a proper subset of meritocracy, then by the rule of inclusion, technocracy IS a meritocracy. :-)
