This seems blatantly obvious to me. Forget any psych certs and licenses. You can do IT work without them, and you can do the same in the psych field. Just don't lie about your qualifications.
Most psych patients won't give a damn about your qualifications anyway. All you need to do is listen to your patients. Psych patients don't feel better because they talk about things. They feel better because someone is listening to them about their problems. If patients have initial problems talking, just stay quiet, and stare at them with a puppy dog look. This shows your devotion, and that you are so interested in them that you are willing to wait for them to talk. Take notes. Before each session, read the notes and bring up topics during the session. This, again, shows the patient that someone is interested in their problems. Psych therapy is a long process, so you can always shove off difficult issues to follow-up sessions. If you are lucky, the issue will take of itself.
Now imagine if IT was like that! In a heated meeting about bugs and missed deadlines, just say something like:
"Now I feel anger here. It is really important for all of us to recognize that there is anger here, and we need to accept the presence of anger. There are issues here and we are not all happy about them. But we do have to accept that we cannot always be happy all the time. Not being happy is part of being a human being. Now about the system having bugs, bugs are an inherent part of programs. If it didn't have bugs, it wouldn't really be a full living program. By having bugs, the program is just completing the totality of its existence. And as to the deadlines, sometimes we are just being too hard on ourselves . . . "
It's not about the Ed Woodesque film anyway. These folks would just find other reasons . . . real or imagined . . . to storm anything with a whiff of America about it.
"Hey, Abdul! America says, 'Tastes Great!' Islam says, 'Less Filling!' Let's riot!"
These folks are in a permanent state of outrage against the US. They are just looking for any reason whatsoever to vent their unfounded anger.
Sorry to break the news to you, America, but Islamic folks don't love you. Never have, never will.
Maybe if someone made a Reality TV Show about it, ordinary folks would finally understand this.
It doesn't need to be tasty. It just needs to come packaged as part of a "Happy Jungle Meal" with a toy for children. What you call a new species, the Congolese call, "the same old smoked Sunday roast dinner, again."
For the Democratic Republic of Congo, Benjamin Franklin's quip is valid, "Hunger never saw bad bread." Places that call themselves Democratic Republics usually are neither. Watch out for a name change to the "Democratic Republic of America."
Now . . . do these bushmeat critters have a natural resistance to AIDS . . . ?
"Commerce is our goal here at Tyrell. More rat than rat is our motto. Ratchael is an experiment, nothing more. We began to recognise in them a strange obsession. After all they are emotionally inexperienced, with only a few years in which to store up the experiences which you and I take for granted. If we gived them a past, we'd create a cushion, a pillow for their emotions and consequently we can control them better." (Tyrell)
"Memories. You're talking about memories." (Deckard)
Free beer, served over a Internet "series of tubes". They could make money by selling information about what and how much you drink to anyone interested.
No, but voters do! Both candidates are vying for the Latin-American vote, so a Latin-American Data Center is a good political strategic move. They can sell Latin-American Data to both political parties! Listen to both of their speeches for signs of things that appeal to Latin-Americans' voters' likes in Google.
Additionally both candidates are after women voters. So the US Secret Service has taken a special interest in Latin-American women, just to be on the safe side.
I forgot, which candidates does Google own, again . . . ?
. . . there's always one last bolt that doesn't fit, and too many screws of the wrong size, too few of the right size, a dinky little five-sided hex wrench, and an ancient Egyptian plan for building pyramids written in Hieroglyphics.
NASA needs a gear-head astronaut with NASCAR Hillbilly Armor experience. And a six-pack to offer him, because he will refuse to take pay for such a simple task.
Tony Soprano's crew "helped out" in the decision process, and get "a taste" of the business. They are moving into the "used" satellite and satellite "insurance" business.
"Dat's a nice satellite youse guys got's dere. Would be a shame, if it had an 'accident' . ..like a fire in the kitchen . .."
Flaunting something not available for sale in the US definitely has a lot of "bling" value. Just like banning songs from radio broadcast in the UK would increase the sales of records. Hollywood stars, rappers and such will flash them around.
So it might be illegal in the US to sell them. Will it also be illegal to posses one? Will the folks smuggling drugs in a tunnel under the kids on my front lawn, switch to smuggling banned phones?
If I was a South Korean diplomat in the US, I would smugly hand Samsung phones out as diplomatic gifts.
When battling superstitious folks, who believe in black magic, a soldier commanding a squad of rats could really scare the living bejesus out of insurgent types:
"Do not dare to think about attacking us, or our hordes of rats will destroy your crops and rape your virgins!"
On the other hand, having rats as your henchmen might also convince them that you really are the Great Satan. I guess we'll need some field trials to see how that works.
Steve Jobs stimulated his creativity by "Going to the Magic Kingdom" while tripping his balls off on acid, back in the 70's, when it was still OK for CEO's to trip their balls off on acid.
Nowadays, most CEO's just act like they should "get their lips away from the crack pipe!"
Their women folk carry all the family's tech gadgets under their burqas. There is plenty of room under there, and nobody frisks a women in the Middle East. Well, at least no one who wants to keeps his hands.
And folks in the Middle East don't leave their women folk alone in cars outside the compounds either. That would cause a public outrage. So the women folk get to carry all the tech gadgets into the air conditioned compounds, and have geeky LAN parties by themselves, while the men folk are hobnobbing.
The Neanderthal would probably take a look at our civilization and complain:
Look, after all that we have done for you kids, and this is all that you come up with? We worked really hard to provide you with a good future, and we really think that you could have done much better . . . etc."
Police Commissioner: "Our officers are NOT stopping and checking people because of their ethnic background. Our officers stop and check based on the DNA of the people. It's all scientificously based."
The Iranian people are historically a fairly progressive bunch.
The German people are historically a fairly productive bunch, but the former communist East Germany economy was a total road-wreck. That's how bad communism was, if you take a nation full of Germans, and make a poor country out of it.
I'm equally confident in Iran's theocracy of doing the same to the Iranians.
No, this is why governments are spending lots of money on "Smarter Cities Solutions." Those city folks just keep getting dumber and dumber. The cities themselves need to get smarter to keep up with the decline.

I'd just install a good skipper, and be done with it. Actually, make that three skippers, so each one only has to do a 8 hour watch.
. . . and some ex-Navy private security contractors . . . how big is that Jolla again . . . ?

He would have had bezos killed by his secret ninja assassins a long time ago
No, Apple would have sued Amazon, because they have a patent on the shape of Jeff Bezos' head.
Go totally deskless. And steampunk it with useless gears, chains, scissors switches, etc.
And a Guillotine for your OSHA folks.
The Canary Islands are the Cancun and Las Vegas of Europe: a boozy sun sex sand party romp. Where else would you travel with research grant money?
Although, what happens is Vegas, stays in Vegas, so I am not sure if Quantum Information can be transmitted outside the islands.

It depends on how you touch it.

. . . the FBI are the ones trying to break into your system.
But why would I want my DSLR to run Android?
So you can Photoshop your pictures as you are taking them . . . ?
. . . maybe there would be an intelligent "Add Angolina's Leg" button . . . ? That would have been a hoot and a half with the Prince Harry fotos . . .
. . . than how come I am not interested in any of those products that Amazon tells me should interest me?
Maybe there is something wrong with me?
Maybe not conforming to their purchase expectations is a sign of criminal activity . . . ?
