    I've got this ancient Pink Floyd tshirt, actually I got it in '93. It was an Animals theme shirt. It had the cityscape background in black and grey with a pink embroidered pig in the middle. I've drawn and redrawn it several times in black and white. I thought it would make a good branding if done right. I want to put it on my inside left forearm. If things went well with the first, I would also like a coiled rattlesnake, ala the Gadsden flag, on the opposing arm. Maybe include the latin too.

    A somewhat obvious option for when they block webmail like yahoo, hotmail, AOL (I'd block them just for spite.) and gmail. Some around here pitched a little bitch when they would no longer be able to check their email, work being their only access to the internet. I still have to SSL into my webmail client as they seem to have blocked the port it uses. Regardless, I can still check my mail.

    I think the bigger question is how the hell this article made it to Slashdot to begin with. If Time wants to get exposure to the geek community, let 'em buy an ad.

    We could also add team member selections like in fighting games where you select the strike team. A resume and general description could be used as specs. You possibly could use more, but that would violate some EEOC rules. Plus, it adds a bit of chaos to a otherwise predictable system. Bob has 5 years experience in Win2k3 Server and a meth habit. Jenny knows all the latest languages and must pick up her kids from day care by 4PM every afternoon. She also cannot work weekends. Eugene will work for $5k less than everyone else and 55+ hours a week, but he smells bad.

    Why don't you write a development simulation to do this. Call it SimiDevelopment. They can manage the various aspects of the project, hiring more coders and consultants, having the network turned into a botnet ala Godzilla in SimCity... How meta would that be? Have them play this game that incorporates the real world issues between developers, managers, customers and stock holders. It would undoubtedly have an anti-management slant, but I think that a good thing.
