Boeing

Is it just me or is Boeing screwing up more projects than usual just around now?

And by the way I thought the article was fine (for the INQ anyway!)

What?

This is by far one of the most terribly written articles I have ever read. Just bad. I don't even know where to start, but 'panoptoly' seems like a good choice.

Tip #1: Use spell check. It is panoply, not panoptoly. 

Tip #2: Don't use fancy words to cover up your complete lack of writing ability. If you can't spell it and don't know what it means, don't use it 19 times.

Tip #3: At least read some Inq articles before writing one. Wrong style, wrong length, wrong everything.

Tip #4: The first sentence is terrible and does not make a good first impression. Muppet, wtf?, calling a person a muppet might make sense, referring to a failed project makes none. Also, its Arizona border, not Arizonian. Arizonian is a person from Arizona.

Tip #5: Stop writing. Please. I am dumber after having read this.

case study anyone?

"The project was rushed, the costs had been under-estimated and the users hadn't been consulted"

Would make a useful case study. The circumstances would appear to be similar to a case study used for a module (software engineering processes 1) in a hnd computing course where we had to study about the 'london ambulance service' when it was changed over to a computerised system.

They really don't get it....

You don't need super-cosmik technology to see illegals coming over the Mexican border. You can pretty much just stand there and watch (its a long border but geography funnels the migrants through relatively small parts of it). The problem is that there are just not enough people to catch the migrants -- you need more boots on the ground (paying the existing ones better might help as well).

Its same problem you've got in town centers in the UK. There seem to be infinite budgets for CCTV and loudspeakers to squawk at you but no money for a couple of plods to actually wander around and harass the drunks.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
