        Leslie Nielsen could tell you!

        If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
        You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
        Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

          None, changing light bulbs was not part of the job description.

            I'll go with 2, 1 to incessantly whine about the lack of light, and 1 who thinks there's 2 possible outcomes, bludgeon the first to shut them up, or change the damn bulb, and they choose the latter.

                          No need; just derive a new one from the old.

                            None. They only blackbox test.

                              Sorry, you need to include a Change Request for a new bulb build.

                                None. They'll just have a contest and give away prizes to the CP member who changes it the fastest and with the most wattage.

                                  What about the consultant hired by management in the vain hope that they will figure out a solution while the other two are fighting? Or doesn't the consultant count as a developer?

                                        Two, one to complain about it, the other will stand up thank goodness that someone finally dimmed the bright ball overhead.


                                        Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
