COTD: Slave Hacks

clipped from www.warwickhughes.com The fact that these yo-yo’s have been “averaging” temperatures from divergent locations TELLS YOU THEY ARE NOT SCIENTISTS! Only political hacks. Aside from the other “weak kneed” aspect that finally dawned on me. The “big guns” don’t do their own programming. They have a “graduate student slave” do that. (Thus the “comments” on the impossibility of doing various data manipulations IN THE CODEs.) The “big guns are 45 to 65 years old. With probably a mean age (valid) of 54 or 55. A LOT of folks my age have NOT kept up with the rapid changes in computing technology. It’s a GREAT temptation to LET SOMEONE ELSE (i.e., younger, eager, needed a stipend, etc.) to do that work. Making the “big guns” all the more fraudulent. Sad, very sad..
