If he cant read French by the age of three, then I vote for the Furry Freak Brothers, with or without Fat Freddy's Cat.
My Dad read me the original French when I was three, but he translated as he went along. Captain Haddock's curses, as translated by my Dad, were great entertainment, and not at all like the official translations.
I agree with all the GP said, but as for racks in the front room - you may find this is a problem when you need to upgrade the wife - which you will, if you keep the rack in the front room, or if you have children - small babies and racks of IT equipment don't mix well.
On the plus side, if you do have a nice big rack somewhere, you can upgrade by installing a new server with new version of the OS, and migrating the data, then upgrade the old server. I do this every couple of years (Using OpenBSD on Sun Sparc hardware for maximum Nerd points) - but then, I have a whole server closet upstairs.
It is probably really hard to find people under 35 with 30 years experience, or get them to work for a pittance. (The strategies closest to the heart of most HR departments).
The FIRST rule of GUI design is that you DO NOT hide the navigation controls.
There is absolutely no way you can provide phone support for your cousins in Arkansas if they cant see what you are telling them about. Its just too time consuming! And there is no way I am going to Arkansas with the present TSA regime in force.
The underlying problem is that PHBs are embarassed to tell someone older than themselves what to do - so they prefer not to employ them. If the result is a ton of badly written, unmaintainable code, well, the PHB gets paid anyway, so WTF.
I know a few people who write good code over the age of 50, but they employ themselves. They know they are better value for money than the young and foolish, who can outperform oldies on SLOC, but not on functionality and usability.
UK law used to say that "Limited Liability" only applies so long as the company obeys the law. If the law is broken, individual directors are completely responsible. There is a concept of corporate liability, but, as I understand it, that is intended to handle civil liability, not criminal liability.
However, that does not appear to be how actual courts find according to the newspapers. I don't know if the law has changed, or if the courts have difficulties with reality.
My local government department claimed they would plead "corporate insanity" if prosecuted for being reckless, but I have it on good legal advice that corporate pleas of insanity are not recognised in the UK.

I worked at a paper mill once. It used as much electricity as the city of Manchester. (UK's third largest city). and ran 24 hours a day, 29 days out of 30

Why would anyone buy a Ford car when they have so many models? its far to confusing. Its no wonder that SAAB is the market leader!
You need more Kool-Ade
In other words, Nokia phones sell well, so long as they don't have Windows on.
Is that why we have Thunderbolt?

The last time that happened, Sir Francis Drake was in charge.
You have never even seen a help desk, have you?

Even Seymour Cray couldn't get asynchronous hardware to work reliably, so there is no hope for mere mortals.
I am a mad cow, you insensitive clod!
You America-centric dykes are a bunch of scum.
(Common sense, probably)

Pacemakers fitted with porn are a threat to national security - think of the panic!
Cutting and pasting comments with loads of white space seems to be popular most places that measure SLOC.
That would make a great cartoon in the corporate reception area!

That the way real men do it!

And, to the rest of the world America doesn't matter so get that into your heads.
