    None of our arguments are about your interest in running a large company. They are about making you realize that the job you're belittling isn't as easy as you think it is. Us "thinking that CEOs are great" has nothing to do with anything.

    The Chief Executive Officer of a company can decide its overall direction, but it cannot individually manage the departments of a company, like marketing or development, as those are managed by their own people. In a company hierarchy, the Chief Executive Officer manages the highest level managers, so to speak.

    Oh, right. What I was saying is that higher level management does not really affect individual projects like a Final Fantasy game or something like that. Announcements of personnel change in the upper echelon of management is more for stockholders and other partners and affiliates of a company.

    I can't really say that this will impact anything at all unless he is heading up a new project upon signing on to the company.

    actually, I was trying to state an opinion that I thought orb would be a good CEO.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    So you're leaving out 95% of my post and quoting a single sentence as an example of "my argument", then implying that it's a bad argument?

    But hey, I'm good at this game too, look!:

    I agree that an orb would make a fine CEO.

    ...n'ya lost me.


    Suffice to say, we can only wait. There's no real way to say for sure at this point whether the new CEO will make any difference.
