In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...
Today is a third day of the transit workers strike in New York. Their union moron-leaders say, "Dear New Yorkers, we apologize for the inconvenience". It's similar to a situation when a maniac killer tells to his victim, "Sorry, but I have to kill you, otherwise I'll feel depressed".
These criminals do not care that because of them hundreds of small businesses will go bankrupt. Many of them are surviving day in and day out relying on the cash flow from their customers. But their customers can not get to these businesses. Sorry guys, we have to put you out of business, because we'd like to improve our pensions...
MTA workers complain that they have to work overtime to earn $50-60K a year. I have a suggestion for you how to make $50K a year working from 9 to 6. Just get your lazy ass to school for four years, get $50K worth of students loans, study hard and after going through all these hassles become a computer programmer with a $50K annual salary. Most likely though, you will not enjoy the same benefits as you have now, but I'm sure you'll fix it by going on strike! Start with threatening your manager that you'll stop writing if-statements first. If this does not help, stop using loops and iterators. If your manager still does not want to bend, stop instantiating any objects.
Now the union leaders are trying to play dirty, "This billionaire mayor does not understand the needs of working people". These welfare products do not see that this mayor helped to reduce the city deficit from $4B to $1.5B after the damage caused by 9/11.
They go even further, "our workers are predominantly black and Latinos, that's why our needs are not addressed". Yeah, right! Thank you, OJ!
If I was a mayor, I'd start training people to drive buses and trains. And I'd do it today. It's not too late, we'll adjust to the new way of commuting to work, and in a week the busses would be moving people to and from work. Mayor Bloomberg, do not negotiate with criminals. Play hard!

Instead of blaming those loser transit workers, I call them that since I agree with your depiction of them - although you've accomplished it in a much more cowardly manner - I could easily blame those victims of yours or the small businesses as you call them for being so pathetic as to rely on such corrupt system as the NY transit system. Ofcourse, the transit workers put themselves and their families ahead of their victims as given the chance those small businesses would give the transit workers the shaft without hesitation. Do I think that's wrong? Maybe, but let's look at where we live. Our country's economy is based on Capitalism and no matter where you stand in reference to it and its implementations you have to face the fact that in nature it's cut throat and hence there will always be victims and as you say criminals. So, stop looking at the surface and smell the NY reality.

We won!
They are going back to work. Buses already running and subways will be operating by tomorrow morning.
I'd be happy to see their union leaders in jail, but it's not realistic.

Get a life! Talk about something that you have some chance of being coherent about. Those workers don't exist for your convenience any more than you exist for theirs. I have a very strong suspicion that you are in NYC right now, and that we wouldn't have heard word one about it if you lived in LA or SF.
Go back to your gas station. - dan fox
