you know what, DragonTHC, I can empathize with your frustration.
but please don't assume that you are somehow morally superior to the poster.
the whole 'you should be ashamed' or "you're an incompetent @$$licker" attitude is awfully presumptive.
if you read the post carefully, the person says:
"I am absolutely shocked at how much is taking place within this company that I have little to no experience with."
It is hard to believe that this person would be "shocked" if the employer actually disclosed all
of the details that the job entailed up front.
Therefore one can assume he/she wasn't given the
whole story before accepting the position.
Speaking from experience, a situation like this, however overwhelming, is a great motivator to learn new skills, consume vast quantities of caffeine, or to start searching for a new job.
supaneko, i would advise that you check out a subscription to O'reilly's Safari Books Online ($20/month).
That way you can search through and check out
a great many books on multiple topics w/o breaking the bank.
what about codifying human to dog relations? (bad joke:)
or human to animal?
or human to environment?
or corporations to humans?
it seems that we are getting ahead of ourselves.
i fail to see why an entity like a corporation can be considered a "person" (except for voting) in our (U.S.) legal system.
it can last for perpetuity, be bought and sold, and can divide or grow at will, capable of collecting wealth
more vast than any person.
it seems like this would devalue the "personhood" of humans.
i wonder someday if this will happen again with robots or ai computers.
also wouldn't it make sense to have a robot's "intelligence" center not necessarily embedded in the
robot itself, but remotely controlled by an outside entity (like an external legless ai computer).
then we'd have to make laws about not abusing smart computers.
and smart computers shouldn't be able to abuse us!
mine already does and it is dumber than my cat.
yeah, the people who brought us Jscript, their proprietary version of Java, and who have failed to document the Windows registry for more than
a decade are bitching about open standards.
