Google needs to buy new pictures of that part of the ocean; I zoomed in all the way and didn't see anything except more blue. D'Oh! | :doh:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If you had zoomed in far enough, and a picture existed, it would be this one....http://www.flickr.com/photos/83568034@N00/2694462873/in/photostream/[^]

Thanks, Obama. Good job unilaterally blaming it on the programmers.

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting.

His mistake was to allow them to hire the American branch of CGI, a corporation with proven track record of consistent and miserable failure with the Canadian government.

huh?

programmers are going to fix the problems, not project managers, not politicians, not anyone else, right?

Obama's saying he personally doesn't have the skills to get into the details of fixing things, not that programmers f***ed it up.

Your comment is based on the assumption that the failure is one of implementation, rather than management and design.

no, not really.

even design changes have to be implemented by programmers.

it's not like project managers can just will programs into existence.

How do you tell them that without being considered a nuisance and a bad teamplayer?

Politicians are always realistically manoeuvering for the next election. They are obsolete as fundamental problem-solvers.

Next time around, instead of debates, we should hold a televised coding challenge among all the candidates; speed, accuracy, and 'elegance' of the solution will all be scored by an impartial panel of professionals from rentacoder.com. Big Grin | :-D

The we'll download the voting machine code from SourceForge and let the chad fall where it may! Laugh | :laugh:

That he believes the failure is a coding failure. He didn't say, "If I could, I would personally take over managing the project" which would indicate it was a management problem.

that is something you made up. there's no evidence in the real world that he actually believes it. he didn't say it, and his words don't imply it.

if the project was a new dam, and it was behind schedule and he offered to "grab a shovel and start digging", would you assume he was blaming the guys with the shovels for the delay?
