"a" and "b" are problems that belong to the business management domain. Business managers at Microsoft rule. So do business managers at medium software companies and up.
When business managers rule at any given workplace, in order to advance economically beyond a certain given point, an individual needs to "become" a business manager. "Success" inside medium-to-large software businesses is measured by a combination of hyerarchical position and remuneration. Higher hyerarchical position and remuneration are achieved by individuals whose actions increase sales volume. Sales volume is increased by decisions made at a managerial level. "Success" at medium to large software businesses does not correlate in any way with technical excellence.
In order to become a business manager, you need to either: give up on whatever you're doing and go back to college and study business management, or keep doing what you do while learning how to think think and act like other (prefferably senior) business managers in your place of work in hopes for a "promotion" to a position in management. The latter results in very strange -if not pathetic- behaviour.
Business managers are not known for being exceptional in any endeavor related to either science nor the humanities. Mr. Johanson's reasoning is typical of the above-mentioned behaviour. When confronted with such commonsense nonsense, I tried to remember that for every problem there is at least one simple solution that is wrong and that working for a medium-large software factory is not the only way to advance economically, not to say intellectually.;-)
If you're interested in further investigating your discovery regarding Corporation Logic, maybe you should pick up Capitalism: A Very Special Delirium by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari.
JESUS H. CHRIST! It's fucking even worse than I thought! It uses the words "Bible" (yes, again, capitalized) and "historical" in the same sentence. Forget what I wrote before, DONT YOU EVER TALK TO ME AGAIN, YOU, YOU, GOD WORSHIPPER!
I read the article you link to until I ran into the word "Bible" (yes, capitalized) and was too scared to read on. Don't you ever sneak up on me like that again! Ever!
Ahh, nothing like the sound of a million lazy asses finally having to do some work rather than hitch rides from artists. Yes, the Internet is a good thing, yes, let's all repeat that.
After visiting the local Sr. Frogs last night I think of the following words and phrases as useful to the average United Statian: Cultura means "culture", gringo is often reserved for United Statians -or whatever they should call themselves-, and the phrase no conocen de otras means "are ignorant of other". There's also gringuitas ricas, which translate roughly to something like "nice, young, united-statian college girls".
It takes balls to do what you did. Be proud of that.
As for the imbeciles who stay at a job they hate because it's "secure" and/or "promising": get some self-esteem and don't believe all the shit you see on tv. We all now how much huge marketing companies that disguise themselves as software houses need you in order to fuck their private sector and government clients (yes asshole, you're paying the government to hire your company to do shitty software, just because they have the mullah to to get the juicy government contracts "under the table."
The article is yet another clear piece of filler that pretends to build antagonism between two important figures of the kernel project. How does this stuff keep getting accepted by Slashdot?
Is this the way Slashdot supports open source, fostering internal divides in exchange of ad eyeballs?

I am not afraid.
I would love to see this chap explain to us how to define "same music". same for whom?
ogg shouldn't be popular. it's technically inferior.

Lol, same thing happened to me yesterday, and it was me who wrote the post.

The Bible is as historical as a toilet, its content is clearly not... Unless you are gonna go creational on our asses too!
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!

Sure, I bet that's exactly what Jesus said to the Devil in the desert.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!
IMHO, and mind you IANAE, "modern" economists will need to learn to subtract long before I buy into their shenanigans.

Some of that support will always be development work. Customization plays a key role in this type of contract.
Just take a quick look at IBM announce today they're making 38.8 million off Open-Source-based services on a single location in the span of four years.
If that is not money, I dare not fathom what is.
And who do you think occupational and clinical psychologists respond to, you pompous ass? I weep at popular idolization of state-sanctioned authority.

Lol, I love Nebraskan minorities! They also form part of the vast minority of Below-Canada-Above Mexicoans.
Prospect business students rebuked for unethical behaviour? It simply defies human logic. They're studying how to be business men, are they not?

Neither will you.
