[rescue] The end is one day nearer....

[Joshua Johnston]

Nono. Remember, the only use of the word "innovation(tm)" has to be
approved by Microsoft now. After all, they're the only ones that're
"innovating(tm)" anything. All innovation has to be a product of
closed-source private projects that can be swallowed up by a massive
mono... crap, sorry folks.  Thought for a second I was on Slashdot.
I'll stop now.

P.S. I'm still annoyed I'm way too young to have been able to appreciate
Xerox PARC when it mattered.

*sigh*  It used to be that companies like ATT would give their lab
divisions a nice chunk of cash and say "OK, wacky scientist types, go
come
up with some cool shit and have fun."  And it was good.

Now, marketing convinces senior management to drop a metric assload of
cash into some or another engineering group (nerds they may not be) and
tells the engineers "Make our stock rise and be quick about it".  And it
sucks.  *sigh*  Once innovation became a suit-n-tie buzzword, the end
was
upon us.
