  1. Re:Repeated problem? on Cell Phone CEOs Marked For Phone Cloning · · Score: 1

    Actually Ted Rogers doesn't own the company, the shareholders do. I can understand the company picking up reasonable amounts of personal calls if you have to carry around a cell phone as a requirement of the job. If however you rack up unreasonable non-company related charges then you should be on the hook. Given they expect regular customers to pony up for fraudulent phone charges then it is reasonable to expect Ted Rogers to pay for the non-company related charges associated with his phone. Guess how long it would take to fix this particular problem if that were to happen just once! :-)

  2. Re:They get a life? on Where Do All of the Old Programmers Go? · · Score: 1

    Sorry to pop your bubble about the 15-20 years. I graduated from engineering 30 years ago and was in the computer science option. I also could have gotten a Bachelor of Arts specializing in computer science. I went to the University of Toronto and they had a department of computer science in the Faculty of Arts and Science that had been around for at least ten years. I had started programing in grade 9 by taking the grade 13 course a little early :-). I can even remember hearing in 4th year about this new fangled OS that used things called "pipes" and was programmed in some sort of weird language called "C". :-) I also have a set of the first editions of Knuth's Art of Computer Programming, they were the course text books for some of the classes I took. In answer to the OP I became a project leader and project manager.
