[QUOTE=sphynx;21603122]Just love the the guy with the blurry coolface in the background.[/QUOTE] that's general mcchrystal (now if only CSI was real and we had proper enhance.) [editline]12:20PM[/editline] Also, best of luck to the NYT against the WSJ's new Greater New York section.
It's actually a fitting diagram, the situation in afghanistan is unbelievably complex.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;21600188]If someone can't understand a flowchart why are they in charge of anything[/QUOTE] That's not a flowchart, that's a fucking mess of arrows and meaningless bullshit. [img]http://www.edrawsoft.com/images/examples/Flowchart%20for%20computing%20factorial%20N.png[/img] This is a flowchart. As you can see, it has a clearly defined beginning and end, processes, decision (diamond) boxes and inputs/outputs. I just hope my sarcasm detector isn't broke again
The article is exactly like that diagram. Too big and too hard.
[QUOTE=dutchah;21610304]Too big and too hard.[/QUOTE] There's obviously a joke here but I don't have the heart to make it.
I fucking hate Powerpoint.
That's a overwhelmingly terrible way to show that much information. Split that shit up for fucks sake.
Holy fuck. It's more complex than the Tokyo transit system. [img]http://theexpertsagree.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/tokyorail.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Wakka;21600859]The Moscow metro is less complicated than this. :confused:[/QUOTE] Fucking tangled messes of CAT5 cables are less complicated than this. I truly pity the poor bastard that had to make that.
I think it pretty effectively makes its point. We are in a really goddamn complex situation. Also, the US Military, from the Pentagon on down, uses this as a time saving tool. They have a lot of shit to filter through and this really makes it simpler. In the US military, good PowerPoint presentations get good contracts. I should know. My dad makes presentations for them all the time. 6-10 slides covering the main points plus elaboration beats the hell out of solid text being read aloud.

It's a bowl of spaghetti!

Well at least they color coded it.
I know there are aliens and lizardmen on that picture. But I just can't find them, yet.
[QUOTE=gufu;21621457]I know there are aliens and lizardmen on that picture. But I just can't find them, yet.[/QUOTE] Since Waldo is there (look to the right of Havens/Ability to Operate, which is in red) there has to be aliens and lizardmen. There has to be.
Looks like something Glenn Beck would use minus the Swastikas, Hammer and Sickles, photos of Obama admin and miscellaneous dictators.
