I realize this might offend some people, but there it goes:
As a Sheepdog, to protect the sheep, you've got to be meaner, stronger, faster, and smarter than the Wolves.
So you want to make sure the Sheep don't actually see you.
So you wear a nicely pressed uniform with a tie and keep the M-16 in the trunk.
You can also make sure the videos the Wolves produce get aired on CNN, so the Sheep will quiver agitatedly and pay the nicely uniformed Sheepdogs handsomely.
Of course, the Sheepdog must never let the Sheep or their journalists find out just how brutally and gruesomely the Sheepdogs deal with the Wolves. Besides, bloody Wolves body parts strewn haphazardly across cratered fields does not make for great TV.

I don't consider Slashdot a waste of time. It is three things: A source of information, a source of encouragement (see what other people in the same situation go through, and how they cope/resolve), and a way to feel part of a community of like-minded people.
All three of these benefits are generally lacking for geeks in the Fortune 500 workplace environment.
Excuse me, Lotus Notes is not the worst piece of crap among all the software ever released on this planet, it is BY FAR the worst piece of crap among all the software ever released on this planet.

There's a reason the military conducts wargames.

Am I offtopic enough yet?
All good except for this tidbit:

If you don't like my conclusions, draw your own!
It seems to work for the SOA-touting consultancies.
But that's the point, isn't it: to make search engines for people who don't use boolean logic and regexes.
Indeed. When I search for "camera", I WANT all 634,000,000 results dammit.

Eh?
You must be using cost-based accounting instead of activity-based accounting. (look it up in Drucker some year)
Ya'll ain't got the darn memo? Texas sure is the center of the whole frekkin' world.

Woah, can't believe it... A substantiated statement on /.

I'm sure the adult industry will find innovative uses for a device of this shape...
Damn, did I just post that from my company computer? (sig in training)
Thanks, I had forgotten his name.
We too are hoping for a jython that implements python 2.5, but we're not holding our breath.
Don't expect too much out of jython since the main dev was hire by ms to work on ironpython.
Indeed! I use French zeros and English zeros. How do I tell them apart? They're pronounced differently :)
We still have a bunch of zeros here...
But will you stop playing their games?
They left out Morgan Webb? I can't believe it.
