And get ready for your day in the barrel. After a certain level, it's no longer your boss's job to understand all the technical nuances. He's there to motivate you, sort through the advice he gets from all of his team and chart a course from there.
It's impossible to keep up with ALL the technologies involved as you move up the food chain, not only because you have other responsibilities, but becasue you manage a wider and wider array of technologies. One person cannot possibly know everything.
Butch up, get over it, and try supporting your manager rather than tearing them down. If you're seen as a reliable source for info on (your specialty here), he'll take your opinion and worry about those areas where he's not sure of his staff's expertise.
January is a down month anyway for movies. Why not take advantage of it and make the squeeze felt. If this is implemented, we organize a no-movie January where no one rents a movie form the video store or goes to see a film in the theaters.
Drop the gross 20% more than usual in January and people in Hollywood will sit up and take notice.
If a patent application is deemed "frivolous" or determined to be a land grab, no only should the patent not be granted, but the company applying should be forced to pay a fine for attempting to stifle innovation.
Also, any patent examiner who grants a patent that is later deemed frivolous should be dismissed, and barred from government service or activities that interact with the Patent Office.
And then, for every layer of "hostile" management between you and the CFO, add 20% to your budget. Each layer likes to cut a good percentage off the top.
With any luck you'll still come in a little under budget and can trumpet that accomplishment at review time.
Fine, let them buy the land and air rights for all the places the local governments have let them put up poles and wires.
Right now you have the cable companies with the fast lines but no servers allowed at home and the dsl companies with slower speeds that can increase and host servers if you switch to a business-level dsl. that's a duopoly and its not real competition.
In the 7-11-05 issue of Infoworld Jon Udell "confesses" that when he's trying out an unfamilar source component he cheats by installing it on Windows first.
Why? "Because on Windows, an open source component is likely to come with an installer that just works. That's a huge advantage."
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Do you have an anti-American employer? Does your company's policy attempt to violate your rights to assemble peaceably?
Out them to the media. Give the media the angle on the story and call all the outlets. It might cost you your job, but trust me, you don't want tot work for peopel like that anyways.
I think your explanation sounds great in theory but it flunks the real-world test. MS software installs pretty easily these days and brings along all the libs it needs. Or, if the app doesn't get all the libraries necessary, WIndowsUpdate does.
I don't like the fact Linux apps install rougher, but they do.
First, READ my posts. I'm not critical of all libertarian ideas. I'm critical of RADICAL libertarian ideas like privatizing the roads. RADICAL libertarian ideas are BS.
For someone who accuses others of building strawmen, you build a lot of your own. Did I say ALL security guards are "stoopid"? No. But you could twist what I said to imply I did.
This is going to go back to less filling, tastes great and never get resolved so go ahead and say your piece in the next post. I've clearly touched a nerve with you and I don't understand why. I won't respond to any more posts after this one - knock youself out.
How many police and fire people do OnStar have workign for them again? Oh that's right - none. They call the government services and dispatch them. What center is that again? Oh - that's right - the 911 Center set up and run by the government.
As for police, maybe you live in a town where services are bad, but you can change that by voting. My cops are responsive, prevented a break-in in my apartment building last year, and caught the guy attempting it. As for security guards - it's clear you have no experience with them. Private security guard is one step up from burger flipper in most places.
Luckily, the nutbag of ideas you try to foist on the public in the interests of being free of government obligations is seen for what it is by the general public.
I have no idea what FD stands for, but I do know what initials represent the radical libertarian agenda - B.S.
And you're assuming someone wouldn't buy up the land around it to make sure they couldn't do that.
This is why people don't take libertarians seriously. They have some very worthy ideas, but you go to these extremes and lose all credibility for even the more reasonable ones.
No, it's not better. If you had to negotiate it every time you used the service you don't get the leverage of scale, and when you really need something you aren't priced out of it. Say I build the only access road to a hospital. I can decide to charge $20,000 for a single use of it because I figure if you're going to the hospital, you probably need it real bad. That's the model you're talking about.
Hotmail's been my mail account for those places you have to register and click on an e-mail. I don't care if they spam it since everyone I want to has my gmail account anyway.
And of course there's the anonymous yahoo account for more stealthy activities...
Think of it like learnign a foreign language or playing a musical intrument. You have to work at it.
At first, you'll be clumsy and dumb. If you're ungodly lucky some sexy supermodel will find that irresistable. More likely, you'll make an ass of yourself and try again later.
But here's the secret - it's OK to make an ass of yourself. In fact, it's kind of fun. Once you can graduate from caring too much about what people might think about you, you'll loosen up and then its just a numbers game. Get out and meet people. Most of them will be unattractive to you in some way or you will be to them in some way but eventually, you'll meet someone where you both get a +5 Hottie vibe from the other.

Sure it's a different publisher, but Antman gets a movie and still no Flaming Carrot film?

Better than how are the Reagans like a defective typewriter? They have a semi-colon, no period and no memory.

Good Point. Forgot about the 1.21 Gigawatts feature for the subscribers.
By the way, did you get that at Ebay?
Slashdotted by the second comment. That's impressive.
Shark? Check
Ramp? Check
Fonz? Check
Rev that engine, WoW.
It's "Delores" (Long story).

This ain't what Ben Franklin had in mind.
Wouldn't that make it hard to hear the dialog from the movies?
Of course given the quality of most movies these days you may be on to something.

Yeah but Xerox is to marketing and delivering products to computer users what Jessica Simpson is to Classical Music.

The NHL has already proven there is no such thing as a sustainable hockey league.
Yeah, but try invoicing them and collecting. Doctors are the only clients slower to pay than lawyers.
