Contractors are like prostitutes. You don't pay them for the job, you pay them to leave when the job's done.

Just leave the money by the bed when you leave dearie.

My time to rant, totally off-topic, I expected to click on the link above for an interesting read, it was my fault for not reading the nytimes.com, it is early in the morning, anyway, I get the nytimes please-login-to view this page garbage. As a matter of fact, most of the pages that I read I cant avoid the blood-sucking please register stuff. What school of web-development are these people going to where page views require the user to enter personal information. The data that they collect can't possibly be relevant, do these people actually believe that people on the internet are going to take the time to provide accurate information. Are they collecting this data and analyzing all this information to make better web-pages? Not to mention, some people use more than a couple of machines, some people re-install their machines, reset their settings, which means I have to re-type in my information again just to view some article, I probably didnt want to read in the first place.

I recently worked on a project to add registration to a newspaper site. It was used to collect basic demographics on users which in turn would increase sales of online advertisements, the main source of revenue. This newspaper had a sizable amount of staff which produced the online content, so I can see why they went this route.

Unfortunately, unlike the established engineering disciplines, anyone can walk around saying that they are a software 'architect'. So, it doesn't mean a whole lot in one sense.

Except people falsify their data when they sign up for it, deliberately posioning your data. Qhy? Because they can and because you don't have a right to the information you ask for.
