This thread is no longer fun. How about starting another one, Mx?

Sounds good to me.

Why, are you running out of excuses for your failure in life?

It's pretty obvious this time Burtie.

What's pretty obvious, Maxine?

No, it's just that this is an aviation newsgroup, and I come here to discuss
aviation. If you are truly fascinated by me personally, you can start a fan
club.

You may not be able to, but the people I had working for me managed
to do $99,585 worth of work with just Windows on their machines.

What work did they do that required only Windows? Writing with Notepad?

"Go **** Yourself ! " is NOT an offer.

Granted, but I don't see the connection with interviewing.

Mostly generating requirements and specs, then writting ANSI C code
based on the specs; thousands of lines of ANSI C code.

None of that requires any tools that don't come with Windows or can't
be downloaded for free.

Oh, yeah, one guy used telnet in a command prompt window to login to
the clients machine and create some Oracle tables.

If you had to ask it is no wonder you can't find any decent work in IT.

You said they had only Windows. Now you're saying that they downloaded
things.

I know what Windows itself includes, and it's not much, certainly not very
useful for doing productive work.

No moron, the documents were done in Word format.

For those that don't have Word, OpenOffice is a free download.

The C code is in text format, which can be done with lots of things that
either come with Windows or is a free download.

None of that requires any tools that don't come with Windows or can't
be downloaded for free.

I said they had Windows; learn to read.

I know of no one running Windows that hasn't downloaded piles of free
stuff.

Are you really so stupid you don't know that?

No wonder you can't find work.

You can't even work up the initiative to download free tools.

And for what it's worth, they could have just as easily used a free Linux
with free tools.

So your whining about not being able to do contract stuff for lack of
"infrastructure" is just more whining excuses for your utter failure.

What "very tiny airplane" are you trying to rent at $353.50/hr?!

That's not an exceptional rate for Europe, assuming you can find a place that
will rent airplanes.


For $353.50/hr you can rent my very tiny C150 anytime you like. And I
bring it to a field near Paris and I pick you up to bring you to the
field if you rent it for = 3 hrs/week.

BTW. A week ago I was in France and a very tiny plane was €85/hr wet
including instruction.
