Actually, very little of the good stuff from the 60's and 70's gets played - it's a _long_ time since I heard any Mothers, Grateful Dead, Steppenwolf, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Pretty Things,... on the radio.
Actually I heard recently (but can't recall the source) that Dubya has an IQ of about 92, and Bush Snr has one of about 97. So that makes him of below-average intelligence.
I think he's actually talking about young people who claim to be expert programmers in a virtually infinite number of languages, rather than young people per se.
I usually don't bother about getting books rebound, after all, gaffer tape is pretty sturdy...
However, I _do_ get my shoes resoled (you don't just throw away a $A300 pair of RMWilliams boots because the soles and heels are worn) and I have been known to get TV sets repaired as well.
This is how we do it in Australia, too. It is by far thye best system, and very difficult (though probably not impossible) to rig. I guess this is why the US politicians don't like it, preferring voting machines which are more error-prone and make it easier to "fix" the outcome.

you forgot
. Profit!
> It'd be like if nobody had heard of George W Bush except that he was friends with that Ken Lay guy from Enron.
Hopefully, that's _exactly_ how he'll be remembered in the future.
Actually, it's more British motorcycles which leak oil - their cars (and I've owned several cheap ones) aren't too bad.
Country Music?
The thing that those who are driving this process really want to keep secret is that economics capitalist-style is actually a zero-sum game.

Yeah - but when what you hear is _noise_, is that really better? Also I have yet to find a computer that comes with a turntable ...
Yeah, but _free_ beer doesn't cost anything. There's an ancient Australian saying, that nothing tastes better than a free beer.
SCO probably no longer employs anyone with sufficient technical knowledge to make such a story plausible.
Well, you could post as an AC.
But - but - you end up with black ink all over your fish and chips, so it really isn't even fit for _that_ purpose.

And, after all, Henry Kissinger got a Nobel Peace Prize for his sterling work in bombing Cambodia back to the stone age ...
How do you get NaN?
I mean 0/n (where n is a large finite integer) is still 0.
You really should be ashamed of yourself for criticising a living saint ;)

> Mind you say what you like about Reagan, he is a lot smarter than Dubya
...
Yeah, but a seaslug is probably smarter than Dubya. I mean, I take your point, Reagan being senile and all, but
I think the US has recovered from Vietnam, but they certainly haven't got over it.

Everything, seeing as we're all commies.
Mathematics is valid (partially - see Goedel), but it _isn't_ true. Nor is it false.
If you don't understand calculus, algebra, etc, then I'd bet you program BADLY in all those languages.
