An anonymous reader writes "Based on decades of growth in CPU speeds, Santa was supposed to drop off my 10 Ghz PC a few weeks back, but all I got was this lousy 2 Ghz dual processor box -- like it's still 2001...oh please! Dr. Dobbs says the free ride is over, and we now have to come up with some concurrency, but all I have is dollars... What gives?"

His pholosopy is " when I am solving a problem, I do not worry about the beauty of the solution, but if, after I am done, if the solution is not beautiful. it is invariably wrong!"

    Bite me. I'm done explaining the contitution and the bill of rights to you pinheads.

    Ether read it and understand it in the proper context, protect it, and then follow it, or get the hell out of my country.
