I don't question the scientists' integrity. I fully expect the them to change their minds, come to new conclusions and correct their mistakes. I expect policy makers and advocates, however, to exercise a bit of integrity and responsibility and give scientists room to work and breathe, instead of rushing out the room with results in hand to declare that the sky is falling. But that's me.
I'm just saying the term is rather Orwellian. It may be practical and it may be necessary for the needs of the many but there's something very newspeak about choking someone's connection and calling "improving quality".
And I wouldn't work for you.:)
Going to college and getting a degree does not, in a real sense, prove that you can learn. If anything, it fills you with a false sense that you've actually learned anything. Granted, it will fill your toolbox with a host of "tools" but real learning comes in the real world.
The only time that I hire a college degree is when I want to hire a toolbox. Granted, I do have a Phd on staff, but he'll be the first to tell you that he has a lot to learn.
The most effective people I have hired and worked with are the ones who have taught themselves, hands down. No contest. Time and again.
A hacker can break into one person's home computer and get their info, or they can break into a google server and have 2 million people.
This vulnerability already exists. The organizations are known as the IRS, SSA, Dept Labor, etc. Furthermore, Google probably has better security. Oh, and did I mention, Comcast, Time-Warner, DirecTV, Edison Electric, AT&T....

I've always found QOS to be rather Orwellian.
I wouldn't hire you.

It's been a good thirty years. Time for the Queen to send someone down and reboot the Australian government again.
