Re:Drilling a Square Hole (with a rotating bit)

You are right, it's not really square, but the rounded edges can be chiseled away fairly easy, especially if the drill bit has the chisel built right into it as jacquesm's earlier image showed (http://www.machinemart.co.uk/images/library/range/large/0104...). although if it's hard wood, you may need to use a solid chisel and a hammer to pound the heck out if it.

After working with computers through the internet maturation, I believed that society as a whole needed to improve their humanity in order to use the technology the right ways. Later I decided we should use technology to improve our humanity. Now I just need to figure out how exactly to make it happen.

I would agree if all things were otherwise static, but instead, one of your smart competitors are going to actually change (improve) how they conduct business and make your sliderule shop obsolete. Just because the economy is sluggish doesn't mean ideas are.

Re:Just Enough MBA to Be a Programmer

As an MBA graduate I'd say these Cliff notes are well said. There is a lot more that goes into an MBA program, but programmers, engineers and other "non-business" people should understand what the business is all about. Saying that, it's also important for us MBAers to understand what programmers and engineers do.
