  1. Re:They don't "suffer" from attacks. on DoD Lost 24k Files In Attack On Contractor · · Score: 1

    You just figured that out? Uh, would you like to go to war for me, er, I mean the U.S.?

  2. Re:Of course you don't. on Obama: 'We Don't Have Enough Engineers' · · Score: 1

    Disagreed. German engineers are paid much more on average and enjoy a much higher standing in society relative to their software developer counterparts. Plus, their work isn't located in the sticks (which is essentially impossible to accomplish in Europe as it is).

  3. Re:Of course you don't. on Obama: 'We Don't Have Enough Engineers' · · Score: 1

    You weren't an engineer to begin with (it's a shame that so many software types donned themselves with that moniker in the late nineties).

    That designation is left to those gullible enough to swallow the B.S. spiel from the Financial States of America about technological youth.

    thegarbz hits the nail on the head above. Why become an engineer? He's also right that other societies value engineers just as the U.S. trivializes their talents.

  4. Re:False Premmise on Is There a New Geek Anti-Intellectualism? · · Score: 1

    Condemning academic institutions at-large epitomizes pseudo-intellectualism, and further explains why the world has to tolerate so much mediocre technology.

  5. Absence Notice on English Teenager Invents a Better Doorbell · · Score: 1

    I'd rather leave a knocker in the dark than remotely respond so as to let him/her know that I am away...

  6. Re:"Creative" on Is Process Killing the Software Industry? · · Score: 1

    Real-time software for airplanes isn't particularly creative as opposed to robust. What validity does your comment have, then?

  7. Re:Occam's Razor on Chinese Stealth Fighter Jet May Use US Technology · · Score: 1

    Who cares about (production) factories? The innovation (to steal) is carried out by analysts, which has been run like an Asian mafia the past few decades. It's easy to steal data given the joke that security is in the States. Just ask Bill Clinton.

  8. Re:Demographic Data on Goldman Invests $450m In Facebook · · Score: 1

    Define how the term "successful" (I assume this adjective was intended) applies for such people

  9. Re:Just shows how far HR is from people doing the on Seagate To Pay Former Worker $1.9M For Phantom Job · · Score: 1

    In Europe they use these methods to ensure that they can hire their own first. Guess they never got the memo that the way upwards meant treading over your fellow Westerner. Silly long-term vision they have...

  10. Re:Hey big spender! on Los Angeles Unveils $578 Million Public School · · Score: 1

    Who cares? You would be filthy rich from having taken the bribe from the contractor who built the school. That's what public administration in the U.S. is all about now, right?
