Google caved in to China, so who would expect them to stand up to Russia?

If you ask all your subordinates if the project is "really" on-time, someone along the line will ask for more time and an IT project will never get done.

ICD-9 id just a diagnosis tool for insurance purposes. What do you care if the cancer is in the left or right knee? It is the same amount of money to fix it, right?

Thanks for mentioning voter fraud -- USA-- 2012 and 2008. Again, move on.

Voting without independent monitoring leads to situations like Vladimir Putin getting 107% of the vote in Chechnya in 2012.

Rob, I think the biggest joke will be on the GOP in 2016 when Hillary rolls into the White House ;->

This is one of the few IT projects I've heard about where half the people responsible for governance wanted it to fail and pretty much did everything in their power to make sure it failed. Yet, in spite of those efforts,...

Whenever the government does stuff, we want to know everything, and bad news moves the media. When it comes to private, we're lucky to hear anything at all, because only good news (and a little skin) pays for media. As...

Success. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Sounds to me like Google is trying to do what they think people want them to do. If they had not changed the maps, they would be getting blasted for that too.
In reply to: No win
Albeit on a smaller scale, this incident reminds me of all the problems that Google had with China years ago. At one point, they just decided that enough was enough. Will they do that with Russia? I doubt it. I don't think...

"Last month, the UN condemned Russia's annexation of Crimea and adopted a resolution supporting the territorial integrity of the region." We should not forget that Putin took out a full page op-ed in the NYT, I quote "We...

Interesting that IBM published a white paper about Oracle's Exalytics: http://public.dhe.ibm.com/common/ssi/ecm/en/gbw03219usen/GBW03219USEN.PDF
In reply to: IBM White Paper on Exalytics
I don't want to appear insensitive to the work involved but you only learn how to swim by diving in. We need to get on with this or decide we're never going to do it (a big mistake, I think). Some parts of the...

Yes, 96.77% of Crimeans voted to leave Ukraine. And they used to get similar majorities in national "votes" in Libya and Iraq under the Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein regimes.

I think the skeptics were under-confident that they would have a "well-designed HIT tool" at their disposal as of October 1.
In reply to: Re: ICD-10 different in the U.S.
I can't resist pointing out that nothing is ever "simple" in the US becaue our healthcare system is so overly (and I think needlessly) complex. Having said that here's the CMS counter argument from their ICD-10-CM/PCS...
In reply to: Re: ICD-10 different in the U.S.
Mark, How do you respond to the argument that the version of ICD-10 proposed for use in the U.S. is different (and much expanded) from what's been used in the rest of the world? Many of the ICD-10 skeptics I've talked with...

I can't claim credit (culpability?) for the above attempts at humor. My cousin Joe Tully, the wit of our extended family, fed me a bunch of these. Got any barbs yourself?
In reply to: Chime In With Your Own
Yes there was a vote but if you've been paying any attention this past week you would know that this issue is far from resolved. Putin is now saying that civil war is going to happen and the fighting is getting more...
