Hahahahaha..heheheheh...that was a good laugh (wipes a tear).
This is a typical response when one feels his/her rights/privileges/way of life is threatened. Did you feel the same way when A10 Warthog blasted to smithereens in phoney wars far off distant phoney enemies? Did you feel the same way when felt pride and power deep inside saying "I am the citizen of most powerful country in the whole world, because we can!!"?
Grow up. Smell the coffee and realize Karma, unfortunately, has nasty habit of coming back & biting. Even if takes decades or millenniums.
How strange? I have the reverse experience. After destroying 5 CDs trying to burn some files in Windows Vista, I dual booted into Ubuntu and burned a perfect one using Brassero, in first attempt!!
Companies underbid projects with aggressive timelines and less resources. Theme these days is, get projects at any cost, we will figure it out once the project starts moving.
Who/what is responsible for this?
1. Sales teams who put pressure on project architects for low costing. 2. Solution Architects who think each of their project member is Linus Torvalds. 3. Existence of bench resources. Idea is to underbid and deploy bench resources (unbilled) as anyway they are idle. 4. Unbilled bench resources suddenly getting deployed in new projects.

Here's a dilemma for you... With all your honor and dignity what would you do? This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.
Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately.
You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact. There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. There are huge masses of water all over you. You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.
Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.
Suddenly you know who it is -- it's George W. Bush!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men.
And here's the question (please give an honest answer):
Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?
Actually I was thinking of a 20 metric ton vibratory road roller. Just find the guy, he'd love roll his machine over your stuff. Smoke a cigarette with him...perhaps you will learn something about real life.
For the basement types x86 desktop guys. While the whimpering noise you make, please visit a Enterprise Class Datacenter of a large organization (if you are allowed inside). An hour downtime of their Operations System would result in couple of million dollar (USD) costs. This is where Sparc and Power PCs run.
Please do not compare your Suzukis with a McLaren F1's. (Its a theoretical argument).
Yes, I have migrated large enterprise Operations Systems from Sparc to x86_64 (Opteron).
ASICS makes some good quality professional sports shoes. There are some ASICS models that tune themselves to suit women's menstrual cycle (apparently, the foot structure changes during their monthly periods).
A Bus stops and two men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:
Emma come first, then I come. Then two asses come togeder. I come once-a-mora. Two asses, they come togeder again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time.
"You foul mouthed swine" says the lady, "in this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!" "Hey, coola down lady" said the man "I'm a justa tellin' my friend how to spella 'Mississippi' "
They say we are creatures of habit. My Home ICON moved to the right!! Thinkpad Touchpad vertical scrolling refused to work.
Ok, found solutions. Moved Home ICON using customization. Had to download latest Thinkpad Synaptics driver to make Touchpad scrolling work. (why the heck one has to download Touchpad driver for Firefox upgrade is beyond me)
Oh, brought the tabs below.
They say, if you look at ugly goat long enough, you will like her beauty:)
I do not have an axe to grind. In 70's & 80's during my growing up years, I always admired you guys. You made things "Built to last", you made things that were interesting and useful. I took pride in owning American made stuff. There was element of "truth" in American made stuff and technology.
What went wrong?
Here in Slashdot, I hope there are Americans who acknowledge this. What can be corrected?
My pet theory is, this MBA stuff is destroying what made America proud. Companies need to be run by Technocrats (Engineers who are passionate about their ideas) not someone who is playing tunes to numbers (Wall Street, Venture Capital Funds etc).
WTF really? I am into Database knitting business for long long time (17 years). Never heard of Computer Associates Database product. Okay, I've not RTFA.
Sheesh guys!! Don't we already know that young of animals learn by playing? Look at kittens, cheetah's cubs or children of most animals when they play.

IT has taught me Psychology, Politics, Business, Meanness, Stealth, Intrigue, Black Humor and Survival. I think I am ready for Sainthood
The photo of chinese people in the link is morphed to show more people. Look at top right hand corner.

I miss the fiddling of 3.5" floppy shutter sound when talking to others.

Welcome to the service economy.
The lawyer needs new litigation to survive.
The doctor needs constant dis-ease to survive.
The engineer invents new ways to survive.
It all boils down to paychecks. One is forced to invent new ways to suck blood.
It is not about growth and solutions. It is not about common-sense. It is all about survival. Parasitic survival.
The service economy and service sector is clearly uncivilized. It works on extracting your mind. Think again, 24x7 world. Reminds me of Matrix movie.
At times, I wish I was a blue-collar worker.

These days, casual conversations are contests. Didn't you get the memo?

I take refuge in Karl Marx - religion is opiate of masses.
At the end, it boils down to this: we are selfish bastards. Period.
I'd suggest anyone venturing to invest in stocks to read book The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham
In Sanskrit (ancient language of India), there is a saying:
Vinaash Kale Vipreetaha Buddhi --during the time of destruction, we go against our intelligence.
I don't remember the exact quote....
