  1. Re:Listening to Richard Clarke on Richard Clarke on Microsoft security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People's Republic of America. That's cute.

    It's probably true that a great number of people who want to believe Clarke's account are anti-Bush, but that hardly means they're liberal. I know a great number of conservatives who have no love for Bush or his administration and their policies (foreign or domestic, take your pick).

    Even as cosmetic details in Clarke's accounts of meetings with the President differed, the points he made are clearly valid. Even the people who don't like him and feel he's an opportunist agree with him on that account.

    You can dress a cat up like a pirate, that doesn't change the fact that it's a cat.

    P.S. I'm not sure what that last bit means, I just like the image.

  2. Nader on Help Bush and Gore Answer Slashdot Questions · · Score: 1

    I'd vote for Nader but for one detail: the complexion of the surpreme court for the next twenty or thirty years rests on the outcome of this election.

    Personally, I'd rather not see Bush make those appointments.

    Dear Voter,

    I'm voting for my penis in the 2000 presidential election, and I encourage you to do the same.

    My penis loves babies and old people. My penis will make education its first priority. My penis is both compassionate and tough on crime. My penis loves minorities and shuns corporate interests.
    Mine is a God fearing penis.

    I humbly ask for your support this November. America needs my penis. Cast your vote, and let my penis rise to the occassion.

    Regards,
    JMW

  4. Re:Rare to find good managers on Management To Blame For IT Worker Shortage? · · Score: 1
    "As for undervaluing the contribution of IT, that was always the case. Sales & Marketing were the stars, always, and IT was an afterthought."

    Exactly. In many companies IT is still considered an overhead group because they are not directly responsible for bringing in revenue. This leaves IT departments underfunded, understaffed, and ultimately demoralized

    It's sad. The middle-management tiers of my own company are populated with a number of capable, forward thinking IT managers, but their ability to implement effective solutions are stymmied by an upper management that can't get their minds around the concept of spending money to make money.
