Bill, can you please try to fix larger issues plaguing the industry than those mentioned in the article? or at least address them?

Don't get me wrong: I love 2003 Server-- great stuff, but I am now worried about my unemployment. But, i cannot decide if it is realy worse than being employed in this industry (OH the sht I've seen!): management of this industry is so incredibly bad, it's a shame we all suffer as engineers.

Bill, why not address systemic issues within the capitalist environment. Things like: well, like why we all go to college and think that if we work hard, we'll 'succeed'; but in reality, we graduate and face two possible futures: own or be owned; be a dictator or be subject to one; Ahh the hoax of capitalism: creates more dictators than any other form of govt. But, I digress, Bill, how about promoting things like 'industrial democracy' or 'democratically-interpreted scientific method as a basis for rule of law in decision making' (that last one's mine!)

Ok ok, I know this is ranting, but for Lebowski's sake, to paraphrase Rodney King: can't we all just try to fix systemic issues so we can head toward a better, more accurate, merit and method based world?

technology is, in most businesses, not a bottom line element and therefore is under constant scrutiny of the CFO/CEO fo the world to see if the preceived value is there, but CEO somewhere is actaully going to say, "Hey, method and metrics!" and then apply it to determine what works and what doesnt when using tech in business.
