Why are they advertising to me? I have no money. After tuition, food, and computer upgrades (For geeks this is a basic necessity:), I don't have money to blow on frivolous purchases.
I'm surrounded by advertising! Aieeeeeee!
...when parents forget that life is sacred and they start creating custom "designer children".
I can understand correcting birth defects and things like that, but when we start tweaking every little gene to suit our personal taste, isn't this child now existing for our own pleasure? Such a parent will probably take credit for every accomplishment the child has. What do you think?
I know this is offtopic, but I had to make a comment on this person's sig. I keep seeing that sig soliciting developers to go to www.beunited.com to help out BeOS. The only problem is, when I go to that site I am "turned away at the door" with a message telling me (in several different languages) that the site is under construction. I remember seeing the same thing when I went to that website a month or two ago.
Either they don't really need developers that much or else the need a webmaster who can type with more than two fingers! Get with the program, guys!
