Jinn?
According to critics, an eavesdropper, constantly striving to go behind the curtains of heaven in order to steal divine secrets. May grant wishes.

Companies poured $47 billion into enterprise systems last year, despite high-profile ERP disasters at Hershey, Nike, and Foxmeyer. The technology can pay off if you implement the system correctly...Ah, OK :-) More seriously, what are the lessons learnt from these "high-profile" disasters?
The friday five: TV
Friday Five:
- How many TVs do you have in your home? one since last September, it's my girlfriend's; I had none during the previous three years
- On average, how much TV do you watch in a week? between zero and two hours (i.e. sometimes watching a movie or documentary)
- Do you feel that television is bad for young children? as with everything, the dose makes the poison; I think (note: not "feel") that TV can be a disvalue to the development of children, because it encourages them to be passive for long stretches of time, but I wouldn't want to deprive them of (good) cartoons
- What TV shows do you absolutely HAVE to watch, and if you miss them, you're heartbroken? none
- If you had the power to create your own television network, what would your line-up look like? even if I had, I wouldn't
