Re: I know it won't happen
This pretty much happend when I worked for a large comms company. People took the money and were looking forward to getting out, being, mightily pissed off at the way things had been for a while (many thought it deliberate before the offfer to go).
I was moved sideways and backwards and forwards and all over the place - not actually with a role but still getting paid - eventually met my old line manager who had been brought back on as agency staff at three times his old rate.
Greetings of 'what the fuck are you doing here?' were exchanged followed by many chuckles as we tried to work out how many millions the cost savings hadn't been.

Re: Universities can't do training, they just do "Education"
Terribly sorry if Universities are not churning out robotic fools purely for the use of the commercial sector.
Terribly sorry if Uni's want to EDUCATE people.
Terribly sorry if some students want to go to Uni just to LEARN and not become a company drone.
Sorry to be such a huge inconvenience to you.

Wearing the hat that says 'pedantic git', did we actually see the Tardis destroyed or just loads of bright sparkly stuff followed with a couple of minor distractions with Missy and Calara getting the old 'EXTERMINATE!' treatment?
Shirley any self-respecting Tardis would have the decence to explode!

Australia's biggest IT project failure/blowout may have started today
Re: NBN delivered? lol
"Australian IT / Comms is a joke. I know guys who worked on the Queensland Health project, and it was run by complete muppets who were all political appointees who knew nothing about IT."
Well, we here in Blighted are about to see the back of a 'top advisor on technology' who has managed to make several sow's ears of a large health project without a single actual real thing being done.
"One of David Cameron’s top advisers on technology, Tim Kelsey, has resigned from the NHS to take up a job with the health data division of Australia’s largest telecommunications company."

No, don't thank us, the pleasure is all ours.

'Positive and public proof of my manhood and virility'
Immediate recognition of someone I used to work with.
At any given chance he'd whip out photos of his kids to prove his sperm had been active at some point. Never any pic of his missus (who, I guess played some small part in this) and also used to show his kid-pics to women he was trying to pick up.
At one time we had a young-ish female as a manager and he tried the 'my sperm is awesome' on her.
I asked her if he'd tried it on -- she said she tried not to laugh all the time at such a pathetic apology of humanity.
Journos to be spared replacement by robots, BBC claims
Re: Teachers
The robots are usuallly found in the Academy/Free sector. They are known as 'classroom assistants' whose job it is to 'instruct' pupils in what ever wet-dream Gove's clone has dreamed up.
'Teachers' are far too expensive and likely to go on strike when pissed off. They also are an everpresent danger as they may encourage pupils to actually think.

Re: Just asking....
Plenty of stuff about the shadow cabinet and the lack of females at the top.
That the shadow cabinet was discussed between Corbyn and the Labour Chief Whip and that the whip is female seems to have been glossed over.
But, yes -- plenty of thinly veiled 'sexism' claims.
Try expanding your search or even looking at the 'politics' section.

Outsourcing to 'play a part' in reducing £1bn police IT bill
It's only money
"The Police ICT Company was originally hoped to cut coppers' IT costs by £465m a year. However, the body has since said it is aiming for savings of "at least £150m" per year."
Usually the beancounters have already allowed for these 'savings' in the budget available. Then the 'savings' never materialise so the plod wil be shat on for something out of thier control
Sure works like that with my local authority.

Cognitive computing: What can and can’t we do, and should lipreading be banned?
Hmmm. . .
"Bishop believes there are three things humans do which are simply incomputable. The first is true creativity.
The second is understanding. Computers will never truly understand concepts, he argues, basing this on John Searle’s Chinese Room Argument suggesting instead that they display a kind of computational quasi-understanding.
Finally, he doesn’t believe that computers will never be truly conscious."
I just think he's biased. Taking a human point of view -- but humans do tend to be full of themselves until they screw up.
