More than likely. But even if it wasn't, keep your prejudice to yourself, you know. But anonimity and such, it turns some people into asshats.

Whatever it was. Not kosher. But the anonimity of cyberspace makes some idiots think they're boss when in reality, they're just puny dicks. Nothing to wonder about for me.

That's a fair argument, and it did cross my mind after I said that. I agree, to a point. Look at what happened at Heathrow over Christmas. Legacy systems built over decades become a house of cards. There comes a time when upgrading is inevitable.

We go through it all the time. Spare parts become unAvailable, application requirements change, and sometimes they dont. Many life safety specs still require pstn service.

Your right about cultural resistance. The operations folks are still very proud they can run the railroad with pencil and paper.


Yeah, it's the fear of the kind of change that will improve systems and make things better I've never liked. I've always embraced change for the better, but I've worked with people who will refuse to use new systems because it's out of their comfort zone.

For some reason those biker gangs often manage not to be labeled criminal organizations, even though they're the first people I would contact if I was in need of an automatic assault rifle and enough explosives to blow up every fast food restaurant in town.
