You are not a Jedi. Do not trust your feelings on this.
One thing I am now doing--and I admit it's onerous to myself and those around me--is I've taken to obeying speed limits and taken extra care at traffic lights (since our region has them in various municipalities).
It's a form of tax protest. Why help it pay off for them?
This is being done because of incompetent management, plain and simple. They figure gathering a bunch of metrics on an employee is good management. It's not good management.
Brilliant.
But there is a certain poetic justice that Amazon inflicted on Borders and B&N, seeing how they killed so many local bookshops.
Who will inflict justice on Amazon?
Is Microsoft better than Oracle? I kind of see it as the East Front: Nazi Germany against Communist Russia. Can't they just destroy each other completely?
It is just too bad, that somewhere in the past couple generations, we've lost parents that actually care about what their kids eat....than actually had at least ONE parent that knew how to cook and prepare a nutritious meal, and knew the importance of that, and at least the insistence of at least sporadic family sit down meals.
Not just caring about what we eat, but teaching us some self-control. My mother wouldn't stop me from scarfing those Nacho Cheese Doritos when we got a bag. She was just too soft on me, bless her heart.

There's a car analogy for EVERY situation. Car analogies are like the cars you find in a junkyard, crushed.

The smart ones go into politics, because that's where the real money is.

Mod up. That video is terrific.

Because they don't believe they did wrong. They really believe they made mistakes, the first of which was "get caught."
More than that, why should the shareholders--the frickin' owners--care? They bail at the slightest hint of decline.
Help! I'm trapped in a dungeon in Redmond, and my masters make me test the Win.....
The Marines are part of the US Navy. Can't they call in F/A 18s off a carrier?
The F-35 shouldn't be the JSF "Joint Strike Fighter", but the DNF: "Duke Nukem Fighter"
This isn't just a Cargo Cult. This is the people dropping the cargo believing in it.
I tell the children when I see a policeman with a radar gun that "he's on a revenue drive."
Anyone else remember MS putting out IE 5 for HP-UX and Solaris? It was grotesque.
Seems simple to me.

On the contrary, I view FB as a venue to advertise myself
Facebook should be called "People Magazine for Nobodies."
