My new Dev Manager has just snubbed our plan to buy a £100 remote-controllable (via TCP) powerstrip so we can reboot whenever we want some GSM modems we've got that lock up frequently. They aren't used much, not mission critical for us, but important for one of our customers. I'd probably write a quick script to reboot them every hour or something. Anyway, instead we've got to recode the whole damn system to use an online SMS-sending service, with about 4 more points of failure, and a far higher per-SMS cost. All to save £100. Maybe the dev manager just wanted some new toy to play with?  No, he's just an idiot. He also had a clever plan to drill holes in a vehicle fuel tank to put sensors in to measure the fuel left...  Hmm, clearly a Darwin Award Nominee.  If I was you I would have told him to go for it and stood back at a safe distance to watch the fun.
