I prefer the Royal Marines take on leadership which is that the person with the most knowledge and skills in a 'situation' takes leadership irrespective of rank.

A friend sent me an email.
He asked if I felt bad because fellow programmers were 'swinging in the wind' over the Health Care website problems.
I told him that delivering a non-working site and getting paid millions of dollars is called "winning".

Programmers are like the Jedi. Full of midichlorians and connected through the force.
Don't try to deny it.

I love this sentence. It shows what went fubar, in a great way (On the other hand side, I'd guess that there were some more things going fubar...).

The thing that's FUBAR about it is the government had a hand in it!

Remember when Hollywood made films based on NEW stories ?
On the other hand, I'd buy that for a dollar....

I like shiny films with lots of explosions. Now, as long as they don't remake Die Hard (I know - Bruce Willis keeps trying to).

I think so, but that was so long ago I can't be sure.

Good point... but I'd still rather watch the 14th remake of Batman than ANY "reality" or "talent" TV show.

All the best writing these days is for animated kids films. They're wittier and more thoughtful than mainstream 'live action' which has become almost entirely obsessed with effects and action where the story is secondary.

If...and it's a big if...that trailer wasn't all the good bits from the movie; if the movie isn't just special effects and a quick cameo by Samuel L Jackson: that could be way, way better than the original! Here's hoping!

The lead actor is very good, and last two movies from the director are also very good. The costume and gadgets looks cool. This should be a fun movie.
