poaching in my area

[trochee]

heh. The number one search company is poaching from the number one operating systems company. And the Beast is pissed.

Now don't fight, people. There are enough of us NLP people to go around. And some of us won't insist on becoming a minor emperor to switch.

Nice to know there might be a job for me when I get done.

My impression is that MS has been playing catch-up on search for a long time, and this won't help them.

Uh... i believe these fields aren't going away anytime soon.
Did you see Tharp42's neat entry about engineers ?

That was sweet fun to read. And may get thrown into my computers and society class (so I won't comment over there...).
