what does it mean if I, a Frenchman, can also read that without having to pause ?
As pointed out below, it sounds like German. So what it probably means is that you learned it from your mother or grandmother, both of whom were very familar with it.
The 'c' in changes shouldn't be there, since it was removed in the last paragraph with either a 'k' or 's'. What is it?
Bzzzt, wrong. In the ch combination it's acting neither as hard c nor a soft one. The ch is in fact a workaround for a sound that didn't have its own letter.
IIRC, some languages count certain combinations as separate letters - Ll in Spanish? Makes sorting a pain in the ass.

Cry me a river. You probably didn't get much sympathy because you walked in here with your "look at me, I got an MBA, hear and obey" attitude, and most if not all of us have met someone like you before.
Frankly I'm surprised more people didn't tear you a new one. Maybe there's some big sporting event distracting people or something.
The corporate strategy trumps your need to have a manager who nutures you at every turn..
Did anyone ask for that?
The fact that you code and create the product is irrelevant, they will find someone else to fill your chair if its deemed necessary.
Strategy schmategy already.
Strategy's become little more than another buzzword. About 90% of the time people say it they really mean "doing the same as we did before, but trying to do it cheaper", "copying what our main competitor just did" or "attempting to do something that looks good on a powerpoint presentation, but that we don't have the skills/resources/guts to implement".
I rule this to be involuntary (even unnoticed) manslaughter.
There's another kind of fast moving machine whose area of operation is usually protected by fences, warning signs and the like. It's called a train. A situation where someone ignores the warnings, goes to the trouble of bypassing the fences and places himself in the path of this mechanism is generally considered as suicide.
Obviously, I prefer Telstra because I get a much larger limit and faster speed than I would with the same amount on Telescum.
Obviously how? It depends on how much the basic cost is and what the limit is on each scheme - which you didn't include in your post.
My ISP is Belgacom and for all their faults, they mix the two models you mention; if you go over the limit you're restricted to 64kbps. You can buy a top-up if you want and you're back up to 3 meg, or just live with it if you're just browsing text and it's two days till the next quota arrives.
I wouldn't blame the Prof. I will re-read that book I bought and see if I still think it's a theoretically good idea badly implemented. But only when I'm really bored, or I need to (i.e. it's in a job definition).
I find it is better to be a generalist (you normally earn more for a start) [...] In my job if there is a need to learn a specific language I just learn it (may take a week or two) [...] I don't normally program for a living and actually design at a much higher level so I normally tell programmers what is required.
In other words you don't really know anything, you make the usual pointy-haired assumption that anything you don't properly understand (but that someone else does) is trivial, and you're a manager.

Is the first time that someone has WHOOOOSHed himself?
So what about Iridium - should it be Irdium? Absurdium maybe.

From what I've seen of Italian universities, he's still being overcharged. Grossly.
Don't be mean. Do you really begrudge the French having one naval victory?

And what A.Gideon said. Ten times over.
Is nanotech 2.0 out yet?
... or making linux ready for the desktop. It is this year, right?
... or maybe shitting in the woods?

The downside is your http proxy rotator suddenly becomes a mass image format convertor.
Perhaps someone should invent magic_apostrophe_gpc.

Nope, I can't hear it. But ... I can just about make out a contrail.
Has anyone ever accused you of being educated beyond your intelligence, or called you an arrogant twerp? Just asking.
On second thoughts, are you sure they don't already?
Am I right, Sir?
