[Novalug] Off-topic -- Job market -- Current state of -- Was "SSN use"

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

Changing the captain doesn't instantly affect the course of a 
supertanker. What he does now will affect the Future, but not so much 
the present. And as passionate as I am about M$ vs Anything else, it 
kinda pales in comarison to the Really Hard Problems he is facing, so 
it's more of as low priority.

You know, there was a Directive in the 80s that said all computer had to 
be Posix Compliant ... maybe they should roll back to that.
