More reading comprehension FAIL for you Nicky:
the OP was the one who made the claim, not me. I only offered a 'what is?' for the "Who".
Not at all. The discussion was whether Macs were excempt from cuts at the JPL.
Even though I didn't comment on it directly, **IF** you had a clue about what the National Labs are and how they're funded/run, you would understand that it actually is relevant.You chimed in, with your usual irrelevant bullcrap and plastered a link with no connection to the discussion.
No, that's just you lashing out in an attempt to blame others for your own ignorance.You're quite the slime-ball, habeeb.
To spoonfeed it to you, the staff at NL's are predominantly contractors from corporations/Academia, and the structure provides the means to circumvent several Fed-based constraints on how to do business. One that's most commonly known is the functional circumvention of the normal Federal pay scale - - which functionally caps salaries as per 5 U.S.C. 5376 at under $200K...feel free to ask your Brothers-In-Laws how far this is below 'market rates' for a talented PhD in a cutting edge technology area.
FYI, if you're not familiar with the Fed pay constraint, here's but one recent article on the topic:

Crickets.From only 4 hours since your prior post? Sorry, but some of us actually have something called a "Life". Perhaps you should try it yourself, so as to spend some more time with your children ... oh, but then they would realize that you're note only a loser but alsoa bigot: no wonder you troll CSMA instead! ;-)
