In fact at least 1 Maersk ship have been attacked by pirates, so even more the reason NOT to go sailing

Good luck with your new job

I work for Bring IT dept in the UK and my boss is the programmer for us with our own in-house software (a rather smaller shipping/logistics company).

Myself - the last programming I did was:

10 PRINT "Herr-Berbunch is the greatest Kaluen"
20 GOTO 10

Thanks guys!! The news have spread like a wildfire in IBM. I have spend several hrs on the phone with people congratulating and asking questions.

You could program a Stuxnet-like virus, let yourself be captured, then infect the pirates' computer systems and thereby destroy their IT-infrastructure -...oh wait...

McBeck · 01-25-11, 10:16 AM

Well...I will not work as a programmer, but as a Program Manager.
A program is a number of projects with project managers. I will sit on top of that. I have done that in IBM for more than a year now - its fun
