I'd be interested in whether you're able to get the 50 next month. We have a bunch of IT jobs outsourced here (some local and some offshore through the one company) and SLAs in place around scaling up numbers for projects.
What we're seeing is people being pulled from one project to make up the numbers on another project instead of bringing them in from somewhere else in their organisation. Not always a huge issue but we've had two instances where the project that lost people was a dependency of the one that received them.
Funny isn't the right mod here. I live in Queensland and it's easy to see that we're headed the same places the US goes, just 10 or 15 years later. We even have white guys dressed up as black rappers with bad accents.
On the plus side, this is only being considered as part of a history subject under the heading of controversies.
Well, great white sharks do migrate (http://news.stanford.edu/news/2002/january9/sharks-19.html). But we hang nets off some of the beaches here in oz so that their favourite snack, the flabby gutted aussie floater doesn't have to worry too much about Bruce confusing us with Nemo.
GEORGE: Yeah. I think we really got something here.
JERRY: What do we got?
GEORGE: An idea.
JERRY: What idea?
GEORGE: An idea for an operating system.
JERRY: I still don't know what the idea is.
GEORGE: It's got nothing.
JERRY: Right.
GEORGE: Everybody's doing something, we'll do nothing.
JERRY: So, we tell them we've got an idea for an operating system that's got nothing.
GEORGE: Exactly.
JERRY: They say, "What's your operating system got?" I say, "Nothing."
GEORGE: There you go.
(A moment passes)
JERRY: (Nodding) I think you may have something there.
A conversation amongst the developers:
Dev 1: "You see - we can just rename the exe and then get the job done!"
Dev 2: "Is there a risk?"
Dev 1: "How? Users without sight or with limited vision will have a hard time getting to cmd.exe to rename it - dumbass!"
For sites with large numbers of users and large numbers of legacy applications, regression testing takes a lot of time. Our business environment is slow to change anyway (a government department) and the impact of breaking an application is high (health industry, 25,000+ PCs).
The perceived benefits of SP2 to our organisation where: all PCs are behind the firewall; all PCs are virus protected; policies are in place to specify acceptable usage; were less than the risk of breaking a critical application.
However, nearly all scheduled testing has been completed and our SP2 rollout is scheduled to start in about 2 months...
Is it right back to where it started from? Maybe Xbox180 could have been released - a complete turn around in gaming. Or, oh never mind... I'm still getting used to the idea that the invention of the spreadsheet was a game - so where's the BFG???
If those 2 links are wrong, perhaps you could point me towards a source for the correct data. Damn, since I don't take standardized tests to know whether I'd score in the top 1%, it's taken me until just this moment to recognise a troll;-)

Bigger windows that can still be covered will be fine, thanks. All I thought of when I read this was Blaine the Mono

If their eyes are lighting up, it's more likely to be stargate radiation than cell tower radiation.

For example, I don't care if they're on the menu at Milliway's, but I wouldn't want to see them working at Hooters...

I'd love to know what OS you're running to have uptime like that! :-)

With your historical bent, maybe you could point out that the history of IQ tests according to http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/i/in /intelligence_quotient.htm and http://www.audiblox2000.com/dyslexia_dyslexic/dysl exia014.htm has more to do with Alfred Binet in France in 1904 diagnosing learning disabilities in children.
