Yes this is the same sort of individual in the UK that pops up from the CBI crying wolf when ever anything changes in employment law - claiming that its hard to fire people. Actually its not, employers always have the whip hand - what they

Bloody hell the IRS is a soft touch :-) In the UK they are very strict on benefits in kind. At one point BT decided that to do away with loads of messy individual kitchens and all the resulting arguments between employee arguments over who

Yes that was what I was thinking of i was always struck by the fact the book (in 1980) had the line "a personal computer would be useful" Ironically Elite was a rip off of the basic starship combat rules in Traveller and i did try and write

I would argue that finding out new things or developing a new model for some systems is "science" whether it is done by a "scientist" or a "engineer" For example you might not know that Brunell developed the design of efficient propellers f

Good point doing the fancy stuff is easy making it work 24/7 and do all the nasty fiddly little bits you gloss over is the hard stuff. You want to be sure the figures add up when you do your first million pound month when the CTO (i think t
