Hmm, this notion of a co-op is utter nonsense. I'm Korean who immigrated to this country when I was 3, and I can tell you straight up that my parents NEVER had any community co-op to borrow money from.
They had enough saved to get an apartment rented for a few months, and both worked two jobs each. They worked like this for years, saved enough money, the risked it all to buy a mini-mart dairy.
As was metioned by someone else, they did put in 14-16 hours a day, often times 7 days a week, and I did help them. Fortunately, they succeeded and are now retiring comfortably.
They were fortunate though, because all those Korean grocers you see, all of them are not making good money like it may seem. It takes hard work, good business sense, and intense dedication and willingness to not give up.
If my immigrant parents could speak hardly no English and had practically no money make it, I don't see why many here couldn't.
I'm your neighboor in Aliso Viejo, and thankfully everything still works! I just got this service installed a couple of months ago and can't believe I have to worry about not getting service already... Sheese!
As an 31 year "old fart" I have to totally agree with you here. I'm much more interested in taking the time to deeply understand the fundamentals of whatever technology I'm curretly using or learning. Plus, I've learned to be very careful in what I invest my time in learning, instead of always trying to learn the "latest and the greatest". Besides, from most of what I've read and heard it seems as though because of all the technological innovations going on (especially in the biotech industry) we are going to live longer than before. Thus, even though I'm 31 now, due to the expected rise in life expectancy, I'm probably eqivalent in age to a 21 year old! Plus it seems as though our popular media is far too facinated with so called child prodigy techno "whiz kids" rather than on people who make a real significant contribution to technology, who are actually in the older age brackets (Knuth, Stroupstroup, Kernnigen, etc.). But I guess this should be no suprise given that our culture is mostly obessed with star athletes and pop entertainers in the same young age groups.

I believe that's what they're doing with the binding of the CLI to Standard C++.
