DB software (I had to look up ERP.). Oracle paid better than Informatics (later Sterling Software) but the programmer's "shack" at the Unitary wind tunnel included a mock-up of the original Enterprise bridge including life-size posters of the principle characters. Klingon tolerated here!

In my experience, DB jobs are the ultimate catch -22 of not offering any entry level ( i my case) for fear of losing their data and then not giving you any positions from lack of experience. But I guess you are ahead of me. How did you avoid the catch -22?

Serious subject. Oracle was there but I stayed at Ames as a software engineer for the advanced concepts flight simulator. Mainly finished projects other programmers eschewed. Executive-level systems control, error detection and mitigation, real-time data collection. Fun!

SW engineers wrote and shared our own DB code to meet specific NASA requirements.

Cool stuff. I ended up doing much more pedestrian stuff. Some Stats too. It was fun in the end, but I would have loved to have gone more deeply into DB. EDIT: Maybe I am getting too serious for this thread?

An organist contemplating the future decides to explore physical chemistry to realize their dream of free universal sinus glue...

"Musing musician musters munificent mucus mucilage."

[editorial note: Verbs difficult in these concatenations. First choice was "munge" meaning "mangle" but no 'sss' sound. Rule: First syllable match 'mu' plus sibilant as in 'muse'. 'muster' appears correct but alters the initial vowel sound. 'mucus' shifts sibilant to second syllable, 'munificent' to fourth.]

Good, you're in the right track!

Solution: He made a mistake earlier saying that he wasn't infallible, which proves that he is not. But if he isn't infallible then how did he make that mistake? Well, may be he just thinks he did! ... :smile:
(Epistemologically it is possible. May he has a justified belief that he did ... [etc.])

They will be paid in Vatican currency?

(Actually, I don't know if this one exists in the world anywhere else or: in what form does it exists, but in my country the term 'paid in Vatican currency' means something like 'may God reward you'.)

Sorry, my nick was originally a random generated string, to be used in a D&D game. Then it stuck, and it took a decade when I found out that it actually has some meaning... :biggrin:
So I have no idea, what did you wanted to say:sorry:
De mondd magyarul, és akkor érteni fogom.:wink:

"I woas nix, i hör nix, i sich nix!"

One of the rare moments the translation is actually better than the original: "Schultz: I see NOTHING! I know NOTHING!"

Your French is better than ... The answer for me is "hibbdebach". Bet you cannot find out what that means! It is neither nasty, political incorrect, a curse or otherwise problematic. It's a totally normal word in the local tongue.

No, it is a city-state.

But this is not funny. So let me add a pope joke.

The Pope is riding in a limousine on an Italian road. He is bored so he asks his driver if they can trade places. The driver is a bit reluctant, but when the Pope asks you something, you say yes. So the Pope takes the wheel while the driver relaxes in the back. Wanting a bit of excitement, the Pope decides to step on it and starts driving faster and faster. After a while, two carabinieri see a limousine driving past at high speed, start to chase it, and finally flag it down. One carabiniere says to the other: "That passer must think he is pretty important to have his driver go so fast." The other carabiniere goes to talk to the driver and issue a ticket. He comes back a minute later and his colleague asks: "So, who's this guy who thinks he's so important?" The other replies: "I don't know, but he must be important, because is driver is the Pope!"

This one is pretty old, but I thought good. Salman Rushdie, who went into hiding after he wrote the "Satanic Verses " put out a book right after he came out of hiding. "Buddha you Fat Bastard".

I think infallibility may imply he cannot put out bull.
