I don't see why not. I lease by Bimmer and took out a personal line of credit for my Rolex, put my upcoming tropical vacation on my credit cards, and so this phone payment plan fits right in.

Not bad except for the "scrum" part. That would have me seriously thinking about letting go the team member who referred this person.

I don't have a basement and I make sure that the admin requirements are part and parcel of my written contracts when I do development or database administration.

Fuck sysadmins. I have root on all my machines plus any dedicated database servers and have done so forever.

Get a bonded pair series 1 cable from Belden. I use a 25 footer daily from a mac mini and get 1080p no problemo either from an internet stream, file, or Blu-ray.

"It's a bit of an assumption that it doesn't exist?"
In the absence of any evidence that it does exist the default presumption should be that it does not.

"Q. There's no BNF available.
A. I'll publish it, it's just not on the website yet. We just went public, there's lots of work to still. Good suggestion!"
You do the BNF first dummy. You really should have just used Lisp if you want to create a domain specific language.

I am neither a woman nor a minority. Your attempt at snide has failed due to your incoherent statement.

It's nonsense like this that is the direct result of lowering hiring standards in order to get a requisite quota of women and minorities employed where they should not be.

There are very, very, few blacks or mestizos that have the requisite minimum IQ (IMHO 130) to do effective IT work. Those slight few that do are quickly glommed on to by big corporations and immediately put on fast track executive management programs where schmoozing rather than hard work is the main requirement for success.
