IT Managers on Survivor: Page 7 of 12

This edition: Why your IT Manager will never meet Richard Hatch; Animatronic Talking Fish.
March 26, 2004

  • Doug Colby --
    • They don?t allow pocket protectors on the series
    • If they had someone around that could calculate the odds of this stupid stuff happening they would be forced to realize how contrived it looks.
    • No electronic devices are allowed (PDAs Phones
      etc)
    • Because anybody with half a brain wouldn?t want to be involved.
    • Nobody from IT would be able to be away from the internet and there job long enough to be part of the series.
    • Under the present regime our jobs are so hard to find no one would be willing to chance being away for more than a couple of days for fear of being replaced.

  • Les Moyer -- Without a GPS and without Batteries and without GPS to Cell connections ...How could I ever tell what the correct time was?

  • Scot Templeton --
    • IT would figure out a way to convert the sand into a fiber link between the tribes and create a satellite uplink to the web... other Survivor players would spend too much time on eBay bidding for "comfort" items and food
    • "Outside? There's an outside?"
    • ITs idea of excitement is to repeatedly reinstall and validate the "thoroughly tested [and therefore] most secure" operating system (Per Bill Gates on Windows Security).
