It is quite possible to tele-commute with today's technology.  I do it
frequently.  I live in the 508 area code and commute to the 617 area
code.  The company pays for the telephone line, with extended service,
so the calls are local.  I have a 9600 baud modem and a 19" black and
white Graphon X-Terminal.  Response is quite adequate.

regards,
fletcher

CAUTION

Arizona is not a very good place to work even when the economy is robust.
It is a right to work state and there is no labor law and it is legal
in Arizona to be fired for bad cause, good cause, or no cause.  If you
are expecting a wage scale like those in the Midwest or Back East or
California, forget it.  Also the taxes are high and the educational
system is mediocre at best.  Also Arizona is heavily dependent on the
fortunes of the US defense industry and with the down sizing of the
military there are going to be a lot more Arizonans collecting
unemployment.  The maximum the state of Arizona pays for unemployment
is $ 145/week.

A lot of technical people like  myself have had it with Arizona and are
leaving.  If you are a golf caddy or waiter or bar tender or bell hop
then maybe ARizona is right for you and the resort type of state it is
becoming catering to rich retired and Japanese tourists.

Many U.S. companies have no benefits for the mother, much less the
father, for childbirth.  You are expected to take time off as unpaid
leave or as sick leave.  This is turning around somewhat but, really,
I don't think companies should pay people just to have babies.  People
should work.

This is why Sweden is such an immoral place.  I am afraid that if U.S.
workers had any vacation they might go there.  Luckily the amount of hours
spent at work vs. those spent in the pursuit of one's own ideas, hobbies, and
dreams has steadily risen in the United States since the depression.

Look, if you're going to post crap like this please restrict it to your
lazy continent.  Unlike your Swedish dictatorship that forces people to
relax, travel, and have leisure time, U.S. citizens are free to work
as much as their bosses expect.  We're fortunate that we don't have to
make vexing decisions like "what will I do with myself?" and
"am I having fun yet? (tm)" all the time like you poor oppressed
bastards.  I just wish those last two weeks of vacation were gone, along
with the boring religious holidays (which are just an excuse to fight with your
family) so I wouldn't have to sit around and drink when I'm forced not
to work.  It never ceases to amaze me how lazy people can be.

Perhaps you don't realize it, but someone has to work as hard as the
Japanese.  If we don't work as hard as the Japanese then they'll be
working harder than we are!

I gotta get back to work, I've only got about 30 more working years
before I'm dead!

It is only available for SPARC (I think).
It is for runtime detection of mistreatment of dynamicaly allocated memory
(i.e. anything that is ultimately using malloc). This includes memory 
leaks which most other things cannot handle.
It works on any language (given the restrictions above).
It not only tells you where in your source something is going wrong
but where the memory was malloced as well.
It is exceptionaly easy to use - you just change the link line in your makefile.
It depresses everyone using large GUI libraries since they all seem to be full
of code which is at best dodgy.

it sounds to me like his hearing lose could have a lot to do with it.  i

Sorry to say, but this depends on the company. Usually though,
I believe the process goes something like, someone opens the 
mail, a pile of resumes are created. This is usually done by
rececptionist, although I have known of one case where the 
night shift of security did this...

Then either a card gets created here saying "Thanks, we'll call you..."
or it goes to someone or something for evaluation. After this
it will get a card if it didn't before when it gets filed...

I think one of the biggest barriers is that management science is about
30 yrs behind.  The current state of management in most compaines is not
really adaquate to monitor or measure intellectual products like software.
How does management determine how long a project should take (especially
since most people in management don't have a clue about what's required
technically.).  How do you measure thinking and analysis?  I think management
wants to take the easy way out and just consider time on the job - and
the only way to monitor the time spent is to heard everybody into a 
centeral location where they can be watched.  Of course it doesn't 
mean the the employees are being very productive but it makes management
feel better.
 
The solution.... don't know, perhaps we have to wait for the current
ranks of managers/VPs/etc. who have their roots pre-information age,
to retire.

This is part of telepresence research, which is going on actively around

on at the University of Toronto under Bill Buxton.  It looks very promising,
and unlike, say, virtual reality, actually has some real-world value.  

People are able to interact well via videophone and some kinds of 
cooperative screen presence, but it is still a much narrower channel
than that which most of us are used to.  Still, once the devices accrete
their own culture (much like the Net), they should work well for software

My prediction is you'll see this become an attractive feature of working
