Or alternativly the Met did not learn the lessons from 15 years ago when they left the default passwords enabled on their main switch. Huge bills where run up by phone preaks dialing in and then out again - I even got asked to post to alt.2

Well Athens had that system and made some bad kneejerk descisons - for example The Mytilenian Debate. And you would be handing much more power to unelected civil servants. I think both parties going to OMOV and doing away with primary's go

Yes anyone who has aspirations to be a professional in this industry really should be happy to take a problem and come up with some outline solutions/approaches on the fly. Though as my first job was at a RnD Organisation this was expected

Different strokes for different people I often sketch out my ideas and possible solutions on a white board or on some sheets of A1 flipchart paper laid out on a spare desk near me.

Well that was the point SOS is a very high end mag they run articles by industry experts that start out "when I where a lad working for Georg Martin on Sargent Pepper" I was boggled that they reviewd audio equipment which you had to write y

That's interesting I had not come across that negative aspect of the German system before. Maybe that's why all the "names" on the German internet scene are so "dodgy" with limited share holder protection the is much less incentive for norm
