    So I won't say who exactly so as to protect the stupid... I was presented with a problem of how to load test a network connection in China. The suggested solution was to hire 30 people to sit in a room and hit enter all day long on a URL. Not kidding you! I told them if they would instead just set up a machine and let me remote into it and set up a load test with VS2008, that would be a better if not cheaper option. Its stuff like that that makes this profession fun. Still, sounds like something that would happen to Dilbert in Elbonia.

      So it's you that's responsible for the unemployment in China! :-D Was it one of your colleagues? Go on, you can tell me, I won't let on.

        Stop taking away peoples jobs. Imagine if they said we dont need you, we have a computer that can do programming without you! Then what? :-D ;) ;P

            I hope to work on the AI capable of that. And I expect only 1% of the royalties of what it produces :-D

            Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

              I've known more than a few burger flippers who couldn't pass a Turing Test...
