Well, they can't spare any. They need it to sop up all the beer they
spill, and to catch the batshit.

Guano... isn't that what Texans put on their tacos ?

John said:People who work in retail for low pay need to be insulted--heck, they
should be flogged in public--that is one of the worst jobs I can imagine
and you are a fool to do it if you aren't paid DAMN WELL for it...
People can't help but notice you are a fool for doing it--and treat you
as you deserve--since when you have taken enough of this abuse, you
ABUSE THE CLIENTS/CUSTOMERS back--it can all be overlooked, just a job
related hazard... <grin>
Very insightful. I think you hit the nail on the head. It's a
classic positive feedback loop.
(BTW, I saw your other tries, but couldn't approve them and still
keep my promise to keep the topic at least somewhat related to
product development. I hope that this doesn't keep you from posting
things that *are* at least somewhat related to product development;
That was a really good observation about retail.)

Joel said:The whiny customer does ask for many things that aren't reasonable in an
inexpensive product (full power-on self tests), although it's also true that
in many cases a lot of self-diagnostics can be added without changing the BOM
price at all by just adding more software. Of course I have no idea if that's
the case for the particular product in question here.

the software folks should have written that code early on if
only to verify >that the first runs of the hardware performed
adequately. Better to ship that stuff, hidden from the user,
unless you absolutely have no room in the ROMs for it.
I have my own opinion about
how the author of the page should have handled this, but I would
like to hear some other opinions first.
