    Managers can somehow measure how good or bad consultanst are on the current project.

    Why should you hire consultants?
    -peer review inside their organization
    -personal development. it takes training to become good in your field. they have in-the-house training.
    -they pay hard on their mistakes. Cash. When you buy outside your organization your excpectations are higher

    But well. You have to learn form one mistakes. For bad managers it is just easier to hide in the crowd. To do what everybody else does.

    just show that linux is not user friendly. Ugly girl. Smart? Yes. Sexy? Yes.

    "When a new song begins to play, JuK can show its title over the panel for a few seconds. You can even go back or skip ahead!"
    For me it is most annoying feature on mozilla firefox (download manager)

    GUI is just like language.

    Linux is for geeks and windows is for below average users. But both will work.

    Remind you. When I sit behind some computer I want to see familiar interface. Personal computer is personal. Burt sometimes you just have to assist co-workers. Where is this file. How should I do THIS. Etc.

    It helps to have a common denominator. Even if this is the as low as it is at the moment (windows)

    I would like to to see a future where op. system is free but you pay for graphical interface. One for accountatnts, one for shchool boys, one for programmers.

    "Does anybody really read Playboy for the articles?
    The articles may not be the first part of the magazine most readers turn to, but judging from the letters we get, millions of Playboy readers also enjoy our award-winning journalism, humor and fiction. The only people who can rightfully claim to read it solely for the articles are the thousands of blind readers who peruse our Braille edition, which has been distributed by the Library of Congress since 1970.
