Do you have to reduce EVERYTHING to dollars and cents?
Have you heard of principles, dignity, pride?
Who said that you have to bend over backwards to satisfy your clients? I'd hate to have these clients. Mine are satisfied with a good deal, and I mean good to both parties.
If your clients tell you to bend over, you bend over? You seem to have a very sad life. Grow some spine, explain things to them, and you'll be surprised about how many of them get it.
And, in case you wonder,
I'm not a student. I own a business. And yes, I'm doing rather well even with principles.
Maybe DJ won't play any better, but the fact you seem to miss is that it can't play WORSE. If Kasparov is run over by a bus, we have to use the second best human. DJ is the FLOOR now, and it will be better every year.

Savant? I think you're not!
If you had even leafed tough the book, you'd have known that it has nothing to do with the Biggs robbery, but to the previous Great Train Robbery ( Victorian, as in Queen Victoria )
As an tennis player and fan for many years, I rather think the opposite is true.
Mc Enroe's inability to control his temper cost him a spot among the truly great. Whatever advantage he got ( and certainly did it on purpose) psyching and disrupting opponents was more than balanced with the damage he did himself.
He was one of the more gifted players I've seen, and truly amazing when on, but his career, as a whole was not really consistent, and he won far less than he should have.
I agree with your post, but professional goalies do a lot more than that:
They study penalty shooters, their previous shots, their habits, how do they execute under pressure, etc.
Then, they look at the stance, the angle of approach to the ball, the position of BOTH feet, and at the last possible moment, they evaluate the information, choose a side and hope they guessed right.

You make my point better than I could.
By cultural I mean that other CULTURES (you know, there are other countries around there) don't think money is everything.
By the way, your list of REAL issues is making everybody outside the USA and Western Europe laugh. Rich child worries, anyone?
Cheers,
It must be a cultural thing, but...

I certainly do.

Where are the moderator points when you need them?
Please, somebody give this guy a +1, Insightful.
Youe hit the nail right on the head. Time spent learning is NEVER wasted. Instead, is the best use of time.

This is going out of hand.
I second that!

I still don't understand why there's no ATX mobo to try a Transmeta chip on.
I have no need for blazing speed, but I'd like a quiet machine.
Please, Taiwan?

It's Capablanca. He was Cuban.
Kapablanca is a chess player from the KDE team.
Hey, troll!
What's the problem with KDE? If you can find the POWER button in your computer, you can use KDE. Nothing 31337 about that.

I'm beginning to realize that you Americans have a very short attention span.

Cyberiad is also a favourite of mine. I still remember some bits and chuckle, after 30 or so years.

The fact that MSFT changes file formats in Office all the time should work AGAINST them.
Two things are needed:
1) Competing applications agree in a COMMON format. MSFT is out alone in the cold.
2) Your part: when you receive a Word (or Excel, or whatever) document, YOU SEND IT BACK. (OK, maybe not your boss' docs.)
In a very short time you'd see the power of standards.
Amen, SaintAlex.
IMHO, the moderator system works surprisingly well.
Reading posts at +1 or +2 filters silliness OK for me.
I log in almost every day, read one or two articles, have karma 10 and I've been moderator three times in five wees.
The system is very good at giving points to more or less normal people.
Yes!
A lot of us, self taught programmers, would be very grateful for some guidance:
A suggested curriculum.
Bibliography.
Lectures, notes, when possible.
etc.
I think a site like that woukd be a very cost-effective way to spread kowledge.
Anybody interested?
I think it only proves that Picasso knew shit about computers.
If you know of a computer that gives you ANSWERS, please letme know. I certainly want one!
In my experience, on the contrary, if you want to program you need a very thorough understanding of the problem.
In fact, one of the best ways to be sure you know some subjet well, is to try to program it.
The other is to teach it.
I understand what PicassoTRIED to say, but his exemple is a very bad one.
