    So you'd like a buzzmortem to synergize the discovery process and script the experience?

    One or two 30-45 minute meetings per day...? Work out the average hourly rate x 15-20 people and that's quite an expensive overhead. Did the people from all the different projects have to be in the same room with each other?

    I think they mean autonomic as in the autonomic nervous system, "which controls bodily functions that are not under conscious control". And autonomic management must be management of bodily functions not under conscious control.

    Unconscious, bodily functions .. That sounds like the management at most companies!

    Hopefully the police will use careful searches rather than keyword hits with endless connection of unrelated items. Because Computers Don't Argue. (After all, you are within six degrees of seperation with terrorists, murders, armed criminals, drug dealers, George W. Bush...)

    "Ah Ah, I know what you're thinking. 'Did she bite six times or only five?' Now, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is the Plasmodium falciparum, the most powerful protozoan parasite in the world, and could blow your metabolism clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

  16. Other breaking news from 135M years ago! on Ancient 'Godzilla' Crocodile Discovered · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dispite rumours of a patch-up, members of the supercontinent Godwanaland have officially disbanded and gone their seperate ways. "It's not that I don't like them, we've just drifted apart," said ex-member Australia, "I just need to do my own thing for a while, evolve my own style. I might bump into the rest sometime later on, it's a small world." Not all members of the supercontinent have taken the break-up so well. India was last seen driving north at high-speed toward Laurasia. "Could be a bad accident if 'e doesn't slow down," one observer said.

    Regardless of the comp package, start networking the hell out of your soon-to-ex coworkers. Get names, phone-numbers, be the keeper of the list, organize pub-nights and get-togethers. When they find work elsewhere (or even start their own business) who are they going to remember and call? You, the organizing gatekeeper that you'll be positioned to be. In these situations, social schmooze power wins.
