I just received a Code Project Offers e-mail with the subject line "Kick start your career with new dev skills".
I read it as "Kick your career in the balls".
Where's my resume...

When I read the subject, I thought that CodeProject was now offering e-mail addresses, an in <yourname>@CodeProject.com.
Thoughts anyone?

This sounds like a good idea.
Added bonus that CodeProject is Canadian, and assuming that their servers are physically located in Canada, would be less easily compromised by the data snoopers from the NSA and FBI.

In theory, the FBI is limited to the borders of the U.S. The NSA charter is to monitor global signals intelligence, so the Canadian border means precisely dick.

My ISP intercepts all online searches or just the ones that google don't find and pops up their own search page. Rather annoying.
So if you tell me the traffic going thru my ISP is not monitored in some way or form.......

For us Americans, it would make the email MORE likely to be snooped.
In theory, domestic internet traffic cannot be datamined without a warrant. To get around this, the various spying agencies have been rerouting domestic internet traffic to various foreign locations, datamining it there, then routing it on to its destination. Traffic that is actually international does not need to go through this ruse, as the US courts have held that data which crosses a border is not protected, even if that traffic is intercepted within US boundaries.

It is one story you shouldn't smile about. The stupid bint was in charge of social services when a child, they were supposedly protecting, died in the most horrific way at the hands of her mother's boyfriend.
Ms Shoesmith does not deserve a penny for letting that boy die and yet she's been rewarded with a 'six figure sum'; purported to be around £250k.

She has been rewarded because she was scapegoated in the most blatant and stupid way by people trying use her to deflect all other blame.
It is one of those situations were nobody involved at the time deserves any credit at all, and their actions since have made everything worse.

I agree she should not have been sacked.
She should have already resigned. It was her job to oversee children's safety, she was responsible for the dysfunctional department. A scapegoat would have been the social worker or the team manger, but not her. Sharon Shoesmith was paid a very high salary and with it went the responsibility. She failed and should not be rewarded, it is a travesty.

It is, but it is the failings of others that have led to this situation.

Agreed.
However, when the only one of the bunch who was even lightly punished gets rich from it, what message does that send?

Agreed that the story shouldn't be smiled at but I don't think Ms Shoesmith should be vilified in the way she has.
The reality is, the case didn't cross her desk until Baby P had died, the social workers that were in charge of the case had already undergone disciplinary procedures (blame the fact they weren't sacked on the mindset of 'public servants' anyway) and Ed Balls wanted to make himself look good so announced that he was taking action to sort the situation.
The inspectors that went into the branch were under instructions to ensure that a result could be delivered by Balls and a number of them disagreed with the way that the NHS and police were absolved of blame while all the fault lay with Ms Shoesmith. She'll likely never work again so some political point scoring could take place and I think that alone deserves her some sort of recompense.
