  • Commented on The Ferguson Question
    I dunno Charlie, Perhaps introducing a differentiation between 'gendarmerie' and 'police' muddies the water a little, especially as these terms vary in meaning from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Nation states don't decide suddenly one day that we'll police in this style...
  • Commented on Spoiler Thread
    Well I didn't fall into Boston harbour but I did stay up till 2am EAST to finish the book, so thanks Charlie. :)...

  • Commented on How To Survive A Death March
    As luck would have it I read Ed Yourdan's book on how to survive death march projects before I fell into my first one. I'd recommend it as a survival guide for anyone out there in project land, and not...
  • Commented on Sitrep
    Speaking as someone who's nation decided to build a new capitol, the result is much worse than just a boring company town. You end up with a bureaucracy made up of bureaucrats who are the children of bureaucrats with no...
