  3. The answer in two questions: on Believe the Occupational Outlook Handbook? · · Score: 1

    Is the government wrong, or lying, then, when it implies that software engineers and system analysts can expect to have a good future?

    Has it ever been wrong or lied before?

      As an American, am I a fool if I decide to undertake this for a living?

    We are talking about a rather large continent here, which country are you from?

    Yes and lets go further: Microsoft, you are a good, saintly enterprise show us the source code for your products so that we can check that you are not breaking the rules too. Microsoft has, after all, a long record of honoring intellectual property, honesty and playing by the rules...

  13. Re:At what point? on Microsoft Responds to EU With Another Question · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think that is for EU citizens to decide.

  17. Re:And a butterfly could cause a hurricane on Bird Flu Pandemic Could Choke the Net · · Score: 1

    No we already have a FUD tag. Mutation to something transmitted from human to human will depend on how many people in really poor countries continue sleeping with their chickens and ducks. For the moment I don't realy care about bird flu: I am not a bird, I am fighting of the last few hours of the flu we already have.

    Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if in 50 years, the US would have the same political system that China has now: a central party that is in name democratic, but in practice completely static, and where ascension to posts comes strictly through internal power struggles.

    Sorry to wake you, but looking from the outside you have had that political system for longer than the Chinese. They are just copying you...
