Besides, based on my personal experience, most developers I hired before slacked off 80% of the time, if they are not directly managed by a project manager or leader, I know because I used to be one of them. :-) Now to put a bandaid over this whole comment, It was meant as a comment and does in no way say it should be used in every situation, and yes my anarchist and anti-social background likes to mess with people, I am just evil some times. :-( Sorry. -- Guillermo Antonio Amaral Bastidas (gamaral) Free/Libre/Open-Source Software Advocate & KDE Developer http://blog.guillermoamaral.com/ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
