I wouldn’t worry, Mangetout. You just need to be a little more laser-focused and avoid getting caught in thought silos.
Ah jesus guys, I come to this place to get away from that sort of shit. Have some pity!
In the discussion of resumptive pronouns following (81), an important property of these three types of EC is not quite equivalent to the strong generative capacity of the theory. To characterize a linguistic level L, the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction is unspecified with respect to a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. By combining adjunctions and certain deformations, a subset of English sentences interesting on quite independent grounds is, apparently, determined by the traditional practice of grammarians. I suggested that these results would follow from the assumption that the theory of syntactic features developed earlier may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate the levels of acceptability from fairly high (eg (99a)) to virtual gibberish (eg (98d)).
To further describe and annotate, the interrelation of system and/or subsystem technologies is further compounded when taking into account the evolution of specifications over a given time period. In particular, the fully integrated test program adds explicit performance limits to the subsystem compatibility testing. Thus, the independent functional principle maximizes the probability of project success, yet minimizes cost and time required for any discrete configuration mode. In this regard, the product assurance architecture effects a significant implementation of the management-by-contention principle. Based on integral subsystem considerations, the product configuration baseline is functionally equivalent and parallel to the structural design, based on system engineering concepts. Specifically, the characterization of specific criteria recognizes other systems’ importance and the necessity for the philosophy of commonality and standardization. Without going into the technical details, initiation of critical subsystem development presents extremely interesting challenges to the preliminary qualification limit. However, any associated supporting element necessitates that urgent consideration be applied to the anticipated fourth-generation equipment.
Of course, further and associated contradictory elements effects a significant implementation of the total configurational rationale. For example, any exponential Folklife coefficient necessitates that coagulative measures be applied to Krapp’s Last Tape. In theory, any associated supporting element must utilize and be functionally interwoven with any communicatively-programmed computer techniques. In summary, my proposed independent structuralistic concept adds explicit performance contours to our hedonic Folklife perspective over a given time period. In this regard, the incorporation of agonistic cultural constraints is holistically compounded, in the context of improved subcultural compatibility-testing. Interestingly enough, a large proportion of intercultural communicative coordination adds overwhelming Folkloristic significance to possible b-idirectional relationship approaches.
I, for one, would like us to be proactive in troubleshooting our synergy issues, and crash on finding a strategy that will enable us to push the envelope.
<<shoots self>>
Ah, that’s better.
Look, fuckers, are we going to do this WELL or are we going to do it BADLY?
We’ll do it well. Just keep that in mind while you’re working.
Who’s for more cake?
Tansu, I don’t think you’ve got the idea…
ahem…
I mean, you’re failing to achieve cognitive buy-in to the prevailing paradigm within the overall strategic intellectual interface environment.

So we’re going to have to do this the hard way, huh? Well leverage this, bwa ha ha!

I went to that meeting.
A while ago there was a grid circulating that enabled one to play Bullshit Bingo with these phrases. I think it would need to be significantly updated now…
You could play dab cricket in a similar way I suppose: singles for “blue sky”; a 4 for “leveraging synergies” and a 6 for “best of breed”. All out for a duck if anyone actually tells the speaker he’s talking bolex.

Sounds like a good chance to play Bullshit Bingo!
You haven’t lived until you’ve attended a IBM “Jazz style brainstorming Session” where much like Jazz ideas can move from simple forms to complex flowing multifaceted … God will someone please kick a pencil into my ear and end it all.

Just last week I went to see BT drop some dope-ass beats down at the club and…
oh, this isn’t about the DJ?
Man, I guess I really dropped the ball on that one, huh?
“Jazz style”? I have an awful feeling that you aren’t joking.
I’m not. If I still worked for them I’d pull the actual description from their intranet.
Nightmare is not the word for it. My manager nearly shit himself laughing when he called me in to tell me I had to attend. Buzzwords and bullshit to the max :rolleyes: They even flew some company fuck from Vermont to run the thing. 2 Days of the most annoying shite I ever had to deal with.
Good piss up after though

Just curious. What happens if someone, at one of these meetings, just stands up and asks, “Excuse me, but what the hell are you trying to say? You aren’t really saying ANYTHING, are you?”
It’s like this is some form of liguistic Emperor’s new clothes.
Everyone pretends there is something there that isn’t, to avoid not conforming with the crowd.
I mean, I would love to be at one of these meetings and stand up to ask the speaker to parse out a sentence of this verbal diahrrea.
particlewill, I saw a manager stand up during one of these seminars and point out that the emperor had no clothes. He started into a diatribe about the utter crap that the company veeps pay for but he was cut short by the jarring crash of his career hitting a brick wall. The crash actually threw him over two rows of seats in the auditorim; he stumbled out the door as he tried to get back on his feet.
I’d report what happened to him next, but I never saw him again. I’d ask around about it, but no one at work remembers the guy.

We can’t leave any child behind, Steve. If Tansu doesn’t respond to the pitch, it is we who must revision our communications template, maybe even rationalize our consumer interface capabilities. Why don’t you fast-track a task force to brainstorm conceptual rejoinders? Set an agenda, grab someone from IT, marketing, HR, finance and legal, coordinate your calendars and run with it. Remember to copy the CEO, CIO and COO.
Oh, and you’d better get particlewill invested–we’ll want him to beta-test and green-light any new campaign.
I’m nearing saturation; could somebody just sense-check this thread for me?
