        Why? The commute to Nigeria every day is going to be a killer! BTW: I'd remove the link to your company facebook site from your sig if I was you, before someone decides it's spam and starts reporting you - which it probably is...

        Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

                  Why would a company make all their staff sit at ridiculously cramped desks then get rid of people so they end up with pods of empty desks then setup unused computers on the empty desks so it doesn't look like they're empty? Purely hypothetical question, of course.

                  Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                      It's because: 1. There are so many billionaires (real billionaires, not penny-pinching milliardaires who call themselves billionaires, like in the US) in China who don't have a clue what to do with all their money, so they build stuff. 2. Local governments have even vaster funds to spend on trying to relieve the population expansion of existing cities (I live mainly in NL, which population is lower than that of each of the bigger Chinese cities). The problem with both groups is that they have, so far, shown a remarkable level of inability in figuring out what people want. I'm seriously considering visiting Thames Town on one of my next jaunts over there. It looks well cool.

                          Mostly to funnel and generate corruption money thrue illegal funding and underpaid workers and crappy construction quality.

                          I'd rather be phishing!
