Yes id bet that the Author hasn't worked in a place with a proper "engineering" background making something physical whether with machine tools or a 3d printer is not the same as knocking out some c# or java (the COBOL of the 21st century).
If you think you can replace pr software like Solidworks or Pro/E or MATLAB by getting "industry organizations commission high-quality software" cheaply you obviously have no idea what is involved.
My first job was at just such a place for CFD you think will be cheap - we spent the cost of a small house on a single bit of HP instrumentation gear (this is before they sucked)
I think that is the EU that provides development assistance - and Wales does get support fro larger companies playing the political game why does BT have an engineering centers in Cardiff Belfast and Glasgow?
This is what I was told at British telecom back in the late 90's going through the board for promotion at SE there where approximately 20 or so promotions from se to senior se every 18 months of so in a division that had 60k employees - brutal competition.
I was told by a senior guy that passing the paper sift stage meant that you could do the job technically the board (interview) was to work out the 20 or so of the 400 or so who made it through the paper sift.
Took me 3 goes to pass but there was no role for me that year:-(
And in a lot of production environments any maintenance is done at strictly controlled maintenance periods at my first job we had one job deep inside a coal mine) that could only be done during their annual maintenance period miss that window and you would have to wait for a year.
And as long as you don't take the piss and pay them fairly) will go beyond the call in emergencies - with a third party you get what you pay for "oh right you want a word changing there that will be 2000 and we can fit you in in the next sprint in say 3 weeks time".
they would need the IMEI number so unless its a phone company insider after you should be ok. One would hope that phone companies have proper audit systems to flag anything dodgy.
>> Uh, you are aware that Amazon's profit margins are typically only 'a few percent'?
After the spurious licensing costs for the amazon brand are applied and the tax wizards have done their magic and hidden it away in a friendly tax haven you mean.
Ah like the legal case in the Uk over whether they where cakes or biscuits as value added tax (sales tax) is payable on chocolate-covered biscuits, but not on chocolate-covered cakes.
This on balance is a good thing it simplifies the tax code reduces red tape and cost to businesses and stops the race to the bottom where states compete to offer the lowest tax rates and supports local mom and pop businesses.

"they make the code interesting" :-) though that was referencing a computed GOTO
Does America not have any equivalent to the Truck acts than ban company stores?

no that was when we Perl developers described PHP as Perl for COBOL programmers who had difficulty making the switch to perl
open source intelligence on publicly available information is not illegal
In the Uk this is the last thing we need pigeonholing programming as a low skill low pay "trade" Job.
Its the same for all technical professions in the UK we are universally looked down upon as oily engineers who will get the carpet dirty
no because you pay income tax on more than your direct labour income tax of share dividends for example
And in a lot of production environments any maintenance is done at strictly controlled maintenance periods at my first job we had one job deep inside a coal mine) that could only be done during their annual maintenance period miss that window and you would have to wait for a year.

quiet right should be at least tripled for tabloid hacks and the bent public servants that facilitate them

well if NH charged sales tax they could reduce local property or income tax - which I suspect woudl be wildly popular with the voters
This is less regulation not more.

No just show the time in the UK you furiners will just all have to start using GMT - and it would piss the french off :-)
obviously America was wearing a mini skirt and stripper heels and hanging out in sleazy bars obviously asking for it :-)
Seems to work well enough in the UK
