xscreensaver still has this. I have it on my laptop. Sometimes it triggers when I'm out consulting. Clients think the machine crashed. How could you not notice this is a crash screen from HPUX?
You are lucky, I got nothing for heavily suggesting a ~1M/year saving.
The only "personal" reward I get from that is: whenever I feel guilty for not having done much in a given day, I remind myself that by this action alone, I've saved my company several times what I would ever cost them.
Helps with self-esteem, but I don't think my company see it that way.
That's the difference between perm/consultant I guess.
Perm is more "we pay you so fix this", consultant is more the reverse "we need this fixed so we'll pay you".
I always find that dynamic hilarious because in a general sense permanent employees have more value than contractors/consultants as perms usually have a much longer tenure at a company (years and years, vs 6 months to 1 year).
However one thing I noticed after moving to the UK is that the culture is completely different here - everywhere I've worked here there are contractors who stay for years and years like a perm would. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make me reconsider why anybody would ever be a permanent employee beyond a bit more job security (ie long term contractors definitely have to trust that they'll be renewed, even if they usually are it's always possible for the business to decide otherwise).
