    If the FSF became a BSA member, it would be entitled to that assistance for GPL projects whose authors assigned copyright to the FSF. I can taste the delicious flavor of irony now.

    I would feel the same way. But I can't picture a job candidate with a three digit IQ actually telling you that he'd just veg out while waiting for the dependency on the PERT chart. (Of course, if he did, you'd either want to hire him for his candor or not hire him for his stupidity.)

    Sorry--that was a cheap shot.

    Anyway, I knew about GIF, but didn't think about PNG. Guess that was about the time of the Unisys LZW fiasco. CIS lost its allure for me when they ditched the old forum software and forced people over to HMI. (I really miss the file libraries for the old 8 bits.) But I was one of those nerds that preferred TAPCIS to CIM. (Really, I preferred to read online, but at $12+/hour at 1200 baud, it would have been too expensive.)

    And we see where CompuServe is now, ten years late to the Internet party. It was cool back in the day, though. A and B protocols, FILTRN, CB and the way 1337 PDP-10 stuff in the PROgrammers' area.

    Why, sir, boss, sir, I can't imagine my ever running out of things to do in such a challenging environment and with such sage leadership as yours, but in the extremely unlikely event that I did, I would immediately approach you to determine what skills you in your infinite wisdom our next big priority will require and immediately set to work researching them and planning my upcoming evenings and weekends around learning as much as I could about them.

    Behavioral questions only tell you something when they're not obvious.
