Is that a philosophical question?

No, no. We're not going to dominate the world. Any half-demented monkey with a stout club and a winning smile can do that.

We're Engineers! We're gonna FIX the world.

Although admittedly slightly over budget and roughly two weeks late. And there may be some parts left over when we're done.

You forgot the program code that needs to be debugged, and the as-built drawings that need to be drawn after the measurements are taken and verified. Also, don't forget the after-action reports, debriefings, staff feedback sessions, etc.

Then there will still be operating budgets that the accountants need our input for, the lawyers asking about potential liability issues, marketing asking how are they going to sell the fixes to the public, and the economists worrying about the economic impact of what we have done.

If you want to fix the world, you go ahead, and tell me when you're done. I WILL not be holding my breath waiting for the report!

No worries. All that after-launch stuff will be handled by the Production Dept. Not our problem.

And I assure you that in World 2.0 there will be redundant specification forbiding incorporation of lawyers into the product design.

Quite interesting trend...

Just for laugh... The first CR4 member to whom directed his first thread?

First thread: "Diva Mummy" on NGC pretty cool 10-Dec-2004

Don't know to whom it was directed, but it didn't get a reply 'til (tomkaighin) 20-Mar-2008!

Wow!!!

I wonder if I could wait an answer for such a long time.

At least mgaulin wasn't expecting for a more technical/urgent question like: "How can I stop my WC from overflowing"

Your information about CR4 history is well appreciated. Thank you

Well ... you could hold on to that thought (and live in denial).

Or you could accept responsibility for your own interventions (not recommended).

Or just keep taking the tablets.

Then again, you could just re-define the language as you go along - like this:

... which we in the UK now call "redaction". That means we didn't do it - therefore, it's not our fault .

OR whether we did or not - we certainly couldn't tell YOU - which is not an admission that we did

And you don't owe any apologies - we in the US are still coming to terms with "rendition" and how to deal...

"...we do get paid per post don't we?"

Get mine paid via BACS directly into one of my off-shore accounts.
