That's right. None of this bullshit proprietary code nonsense. We're talking about writing code to tally votes, not send rocket ships into outer space. Someone could have a talented and gifted class of high school kids write source code for a new voting machine and get it done before lunch break.
Exactly. I remember Dr. Van Allen being summarily bitch-slapped by NASA for suggesting the very same thing. Lots of good PR in manned space flight and the droids couldn't stand anyone running counter to the status quo.
again looking for another bailout. I'd be happy as a clam if Wikileaks or something equal to that brought them all down, with no Goldman Sachs politician able to save their sorry asses.
Only certain questions will be selected and they will probally be ones he already has an answer prepared for.
He was kept in a bubble from the time he first ran for office. In his re-selection bid rally attendees had to sign an oath of loyalty just to get in to see him.
This affair will be very tightly scripted with no time allowed for anything other than softball questions.
Thanks to the rise of the DLC in the Democratic Party this kinship with the GOP is even more pronounced. This wild-eyed fear of the righties over having a true Liberal in the White House has little chance of ever happening. Anyone who would truly threaten the status quo will end up deader 'n a Kennedy.
now self-building chips. I've wondered what those crazy Canucks have been up to. Well besides a certain angry redhead in Calgary. Must be the long winters up there.
Even before the Patriot Act was enacted HIPAA is giving the government free access to our health information. Funny how the MBA droids in healthcare drone on and on about the privacy afforded a patient's medical records, but are deathly silent on how this law gives up our health information to the government on a silver platter.
I seriously do not get this ungodly zeal for hiring 20-somethings to run the IT world. Time for the Sesame Street crowd to step aside for those who could construct a website that was actually user-friendly.
where people in the organization rise to their level of incompetence. Management, no matter how much they pay lip service to the terms open communication and employee empowerment want nothing of the sort. You went straight to the CEO about this, so where was your immediate boss while this was going on? Talking to the man upstairs might make you feel good most likely won't accomplish anything other than causing tensions in the workplace.
Use this experience as a valuable lesson for another job. Learn everything you can here. Hell, take on as much responsibility and work with this as much as you can, be a highly valued employee. Don't have anyone trained to do what you can do.
Then leave.

We already do that. It's called the experiment in amerikan kapitalism. (Corporate Socialism for those following along @ home).
where one can actually get paid for coming up with drivel such as this. /facepalm
C'mon boys you can do better than that.
Well in that case I'm sure Grand Island, NE. would love to have you.

just to balance things out for the righties. Bubba's microchips and fried chicken in Tupelo, Ms., soon to be expanding to Tuscaloosa.

The U.S. taxpayers did.

What illegal immigration? Just call them Cuban instead of Mexican. Problem solved.
