Come on Don, you know good and well you can make up for lost time by
throwing more people and money at the problem! (g) Look at the company you
work for, Microsoft, their projects are ALWAYS on time and underbudget
aren't they? Bill Gates wouldn't have it any other way.
Sorry, I don't buy it. You get a letter from Citicorp stating that they
>are 100% compliant in their critical code as you mentioned it above and
then lets talk again.
Unfortunately a letter gaurantees nothing.
My point is that mass hysteria
>occurs because people are NOT self reliant and they know it.
I agree, our societal systems may discover by comglomerating service and NOT
empowering the individuals we have shot ourselves in the foot. Do YOU know
how to grow some corn? (grin)
>stupid companies abound everywhere. most firms are run at the top from
patronage
>not competence. I know.
Bill will not be happy to hear that. You definitely do not seem to be a
company man.
>people involved with global IT operations. IF anything, I am convinced
they are so far behind
>Y2K compliancy and have no idea how bad off they are...well...it wont be
pretty.
That is the beauty of our world, so many self correcting systems, they
abound everywhere. It may not be pretty, but it works.
But then
>next to their other screw ups that were literally 'criminal' well.... it
made Y2K look like a cake
>walk.
I would be interested in your insights, however I think you will be afraid
of giving away secrets, such a problem in our world, everyone wants secrecy.
The hilarious thing is that the main guy in this 'family' is heralded
across the country
>as a visionary, american cowboy hero, rah rah sis boom bah entrepreneurial
wizard in control of
>his destiny and a boon to society and american apple pie yadayada... from
what I saw behind the scenes
>this guy seemed like simply a crook with no sense of ethics.\
Yes, I would be VERY interested in getting some details, but then those non
disclosure agreements always screw it all up don't they Don?
But then look at how well crooks lie,
>like Clinton for instance?
What do you mean LIE, he was a visionary, he was a prophet too!
The Arkansas Gazette reported the following statements by Bill Clinton --
then a law professor at the University of Arkansas (and a candidate for
Arkansas' Third Congressional District) -- on 8 August 1974:
"I think the country could be spared a lot of agony and the government could
worry about inflation and a lot of other problems if [Nixon would] go on and
resign."
"[There is] no question that an admission of making false statements to
government officials and interfering with the FBI and the CIA is an
impeachable offense."
You better get back on topic, Don't worry, be happy.
