(1) the emperor *still* does not have any fscking clothes. They can put every one of the $DEITYdamned jr. lusermins on every fsking production box we have, make me recover them when the fsking things crsh *again*, have me do backups and openspew and never let me work on anything remotely related to useful ever again, send me to fsking slowaris group, I don't care BECAUSE IT STILL WON"T WORK! I PUT IT IN THE FSKING REPORT THAT WAY BECAUSE IT WON'T! I KNOW HOW MUCH THEY SPENT! I SPEC'D THE MACHINE! If anyone had told me what the intention was I would have said"IT WON'T FSCKING WORK!" Every mid and sr. admin in the place is now out to pasture (read- gulag) because they did not give us all the specs, so now 1.4 million dollars (and *lots* of it in HP's pocket) you still cannot put that many people from all those places on that many instances of $DB. What has truly gasted my flabber is they shut out every talented *nix jockey who said it WFW and gave us toasters, backups, openspew, and the odd mailserver to support. While a bunch of fscking children with 3 years exp. between them, all 6, pound mightily on mega-multi-V-class-super-nuclear-cluster-fscks in the vain hope they will one day cease from crashing. 5 of us sent off to "document and implement $STANDARDS." Over 80+ years exp. between us, some of it on computers. A little less on *nix, maybe 50. If the footnote offends, so be it. As I watch what we worked so hard to build get destroyed by lusers, politics, greed and ego even the Wrath of a Monk canna pain me any more than I am. May all their sendmail.cf files be edited in notepad and returned, only to be read at the next reboot. -- Tom ONeil tom.oneil@oneils.net DISCLAIMER: Use of this advanced computer technology does not imply an endorsement of Western industrial civilization.
