      Well, I'm sure that delivering a self-wedgy would be cheaper than hiring a wedgy hitman. So I suppose so.

        Surely you could send some hired goons round to yourself to administer a wedgy, then you could have the satisfaction of not exporting the wedgy technical details to those incapable of administering such things!

          Ah - so we would still own the wedgy IPR. Interesting.

            But they might botch an atomic wedgy. (Is it weird that I am a girl and know what that is?)

              I'd love to see that. We toyed with the idea of outsourcing when I was flat out with work 24/7 last year. I thought that it would make sense to pay someone to do the more straightforward work, and I could work between projects doing the complex stuff. It was a disaster. I mention this b/c it's the only reason I can think why you'd do some outsourcing.

                It would allow you to implement wedgies, whilst working on wedgie 2009, and offer the upgrade at a reduced rate. But make sure the EULA is pretty firm, you don't want others nicking your wedgies and marketing them as their own! :)

                          This was the one I applied for a couple months back what was several hours away. I would have eventually had to move. I got good vibes and a no go at the end. Even the recruiter did not know why. Still waiting on the three from the last two weeks. I expect to hear about two this week; the third said they take a long time.

                          if you get desperate there is always the desert in NM.... you might have to rescue a baby squirrel from a rattlesnake or two, but it is always interesting out here.... There is a mythical chinese curse lurking in that statement, but it really is always interesting out here too. :)
