]] This is our third company and is still small
]] family IT company.
Nothing like aiming low...
We missed the dotcom bubble timing by just seconds:(
To be honest, it is more fun this way.
We have lots of time to play / joke around. No pressure.
I don't have to deal with investors and the like.
Oh s#!t, I forgot,... we have investors.:(
My wife and I started tech companies together and so far so good. This is our third company and is still small family IT company.
My wife is more into the management side while I'm more on the tech side. We even had my father on the board. He's retired now, though.
Yes, there are ups and downs situations.
The whole family feels the tention when we're approaching deadlines or facing tough situations. We have to take turn supporting each other. Playe roles. Make sure you don't have a situation in which you're both in miserable situations. Don't ever blame each other. Ever. (Blame things on somebody else?)
On the down side, you can't prentend working when you're actually browsing. Like right now. What are you doing reading/.? Go back to work you slacker!
Yes. That's why we have
formal methods - which tries to prove that your software behaves as expected. At least, in theory.
I've been working in a similar area (in hardware) to prove that our designs work as expected with limitted success.... Ok, I lied... Lack of success is more appropriate. So I switched to just teaching it.;-P
Software is an unprofessional engineering field.
When someone created a software, s/he wrote a disclaimer right away. I have not seen a disclaimer in a bridge / building written by a civil engineer.
... but it doesn't go into any great depth with regards to higher-management issues, such as a corporate policy, ITIL/BS7799 type work.
What would you recommend on ITIL/BS7799?
Also, why would you mention BS7799 but not ISO 17799? Books of these type are usually pricey. Any free / PDF-type documentation? I am collecting docs of this kind. Thanks...

You are assuming that China's software quality is way behind other parts of the world and will stay that way. You are so wrong!.
I visited Beijing three (or was it 5?) years ago and went to some software houses and a campus. It was pretty impressive what they did at that time. Now, they are also progressing rapidly with the help of Indian IT training schools. They have bright minds. Although in the software area, I think they are still behind India.
IMHO, this China's decision is comparable to US decision's of not allowing (limiting?) outsourcing / offshoring software development to non-US entities. What's the diff? What the two countries say: "Who cares what WTO says".
No, that's not the first jail sentence. Here, in Indonesia, there was one case of domain name squatter that resulted in jail time. The person who did this registered a competitor domain name. He was sentenced to jail. It was treated as unfair competition. He went to the slammer for 3 months!
I did several recruitments "gigs" for several companies. I don't like lies.
Trust is important.
If you lie, I could imagine if you work in my company. You'll do bigger lies.
It's not your fault that you had bad luck.
or, was it your fault that made the previous companies went under?
If it was not your fault, then you shouldn't worry. Just relax.
Now... if I can find an online / PDF / html free novel that is as good as conventionally published novel I would be happy. Is there? It's even better if it has security / cryptography twist in it.
Look at how women and other religious minorities are treated before you start saying that other geeks are just like them.
You know, for all the talk of democracy, there hasn't (or won't) been a women elected as the leader of the country in America. Meanwhile in countries where there are lots of Muslims (eg. Indonesia) there has been women presidents / leaders.
Back to the original topic.
I'd say geeks are just the same everywhere! Coding is the major (only?) force that drives them daily.
Who cares if you're white / black / brown / yellow / purple / green / red, as long as you have the urge to use vi daily, you're okay.

Isn't that a good thing? Patents and WTO are overrated. See this web site: Against Intellectual Property.
