Of course, but I think Eddy was commenting that many deals like this are for stock or stock options that end up being worth a bit less than advertised.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Mostly, yes, with an optional part of credit in your local currency. If someone says "cash", I expect real "cash"

As there is "nothing new under the sun," perhaps this is not really new, after all, but it struck me that programming is a lot like choreography, as coders must previsualize and plan the precise movements of multiple "dancers" so that they cooperate in space and time and, especially, do not collide with one another.
A case (or at least a six-pack) in point is the choreography that must take place between the server-side code (such as C#) and the client-side code (such as jQuery) in an ASP.NET or Sharepoint (or other type?) of app.
Unfortunately, while aspiring to a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers-type of partnership, I often end up with what looks and sounds more like a mosh pit populated by drug-addled psychos.

So, Shannon, just why do you want to B Clay?

No, no, no. At first the dance starts. Then the lead pulls a bonehead move, and the second whacks him. All downhill from there

So.. does this mean you subscribe to the Three Stooge Choreography school of software design?
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Yes, I have always enjoyed making data dance.

The term actor is used a lot in OO programming... You can script the actors like you choreograph the dancers. However, I cannot think of a good match for:
dancer is to mosh pit as actor is to ?
I am stumped on that one.
OO note: mosh pit is a true aggregate!

dancer is to mosh pit as actor is to "reality" show.

But take satisfaction in the fact that at least yours are moving. The other guys are huddled around the pit wondering why everyone is dead.

Maximilian,
That reminds me of the following saying:
There are three types of people in the world: Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who ask: "What happened?!?"

I don't know about everyone else, but they dance perfectly in MY dance studio.

Erm...that is Fox News.
They are about as reliable as using Top Gear Maths to launch a space craft...

Why do people think that about Fox news? Daily Mail, perhaps, but Fox news is no worse than any of the other media outlets and certainly a lot more balanced than CNN or MSNB-hee-haw.

It is not something I "think", it is an opinion based on experience.
CNN is equally crap.

fox news is the only news service that is not owned and/or controlled by the far left. hence they will show news and not ask for permission to show first
