I am glad to be "just" an ordinary developer and software architect, not James Cameron.
All I wanted, with this submission, was to kindle discussion. Obviously, that goal was reached:-) The "still" in "still have a human being in charge", however, is tell-tale, and in and by itself already justification enough for wanting to kindle such a discussion, as it is an often-heard argument. You do know, I suppose, that there are already fully automated guardian robots for sale, armed with nothing less than rapid-fire cannons ?
In the place I worked then ( a startup, later acquired by BMC of Austin, Texas and then vanished into nothingness ), music at the workplace was unheard of. So we put money together for a pair of speakers and a sound card, hooked those up to an old PC - and there we went. Each had his say for an entire day: classics, French chansons, hard rock, mainstream - Napster had it all. Those were the days !
You live in a neighbourhood where you get mails about the fucking grass being too long, or the ( can't believe this ) "mailbox is mildewed" ?? What police state are you living in ? Make sure you get away from there. Soon you'll get email reminders to change your underpants. The thought police will come soon after that. Man, man, man.
Worked in that country myself, for some years ( aircraft constructor, currently world's largest ). The guy is right, and spot-on. Trying to get French people to actually be productive is one helluvajob. I was dealing with Thales, once, for avionics parts. Quite often, when I came in at the Thales plant, there would be drum beatings and red flags. When I asked what that was, I got the answer "We are on strike. That is a constitutional right of us, and we use it as we love it". Let such work forces, indeed, go to hell.
A moron who once had business cards with "I'm CEO, bitch !" thinks scientists are going to take him serious because of... what ? Money ? Dontlemmelaugh.

I mean, hey. There ain't one, yet - and my gf already tracks me from early mornin' to late evening....
