At least he was nice enough to suggest you become a consultant so you could be decently rewarded

Thanks for the laugh.

7 years ago I dealt with a consultant in Telecomm. He was corporate, I was regional. And quickly I learned he knew nothing about the switches we were working on. Each statement from him was corrected by me. He made 3 times my salary, and reminded me of it often.

When he left the project he suggested I become a consultant, as he knew that I knew more than him, and thought I’d like to make some extra cash. Nice!

cinnkitty: I recommend watching “God Inc.” on Youtube – that explains it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2f4heaG288

Vlad: Stop saying that out loud! You’ll give the cosmic creator ideas.

Veikko: The Borg are very adaptable.

Vladimir: Yeah, and the borg, too.

Though I’m not sure whether THEY support utf-8…

“Seriously, what we need is a total rewrite from the scratch.”

Is that what those “Terminator” movies are all about?

Mr. Angry,
I called 1-800-Need-God and it was just like every other help desk I’ve ever called. 5 million layers of “our menu has changed, please listen to the entire recording before making your selection.”

When I got to the part where you have to wait for your name, I thought I would die from old age! Do you have any idea how long it takes to get to “Wendy” when they are listed alphabetically? Gah!!!!

Veikko: all good nerdy points

shadowshian: maybe that killing ourselves thing is a feature not a bug. It’s possible that according to the design we weren’t meant to keep populating forever.

hmm i wonder are people in IT egomaniacs … naah. i have a sing sitting on top of my computer that says “God is busy now, can I help you?” well considering peoples current behaviour we allways been good at getting our heads fucked upped and killing each other. because we are such a clever little creatures we manage to create new ways to kill each other or a new way that will kill us every few years.

Yeah, just look at the bloatware this “human” thing has become during all these years it’s been in production… There is even a support layer for this ridiculously old “hunter/gatherer”-protocol, which nobody has used for years!

Seriously, what we need is a total rewrite from the scratch.

And it could support utf-8 andiPv6, too.
