There should be a link right there on the page, that you could click, and give it your credit card, and then you could leave a tip.
Yeah, I know it was already pointed out, but you know, sometimes enough is not enough.
Your sample has two traits: you know them, and they are engineers.
How do you know which trait to attribute your observations to?
Maybe the real correlation is not with their education, but their willingness to share some of their views with you.
I recall a presentation by IBM several years back, announcing that they were getting involved with Linux.
The presenter explained how brutal it was for IBM when interacting with the OSS community. Nobody trusted them. Their size and history gave them less than zero clout with the OSS community.
But they stuck with it and now they're defending Linux from commercial pirates.
So now Microsoft sees "perception as a big challenge for the software giant."
IBM has to be laughing their way to the bank over this.
I enjoyed TOS and TNG because of the great writing (by a variety of _writers_ instead of a screenplay mill), the amazing chemistry of the cast, and because of the themes about how good humanity _could_ be. My kind of fantasy.
I stopped watching TNG reruns and started watching _The_West_Wing_ reruns for for the latter two reasons.

Well, they're out there to shaft SOMBEBODY.
The function of government is to get people to behave differently than they really want to. Those are the people who get the shaft.
These ISS guys, next thing you know, they'll have broken-down space shuttles cluttering up their yard.
"There goes the neigborhood."
The function of the state is to protect capital and regulate its ownership.
When India becomes fully capitalized, the burden of the state will be harder to escape from.
Well, that would be like legislating the value of pi, wouldn't it?

Maybe the uSoft secret weapon here is to patent their CC wizard to stop OO from making one?
I was programming with just the ten digits and the letters A, B, C, D, E and F. Anything that would fit into FOUR bits.
Or, by turning the display upside down, we could spell "SHELL OIL" in Leetspeak.
BTW, don't forget about the data-center-in-a-shipping-container nodes.
You can't model a breast with Legos.
8. Profit!!!!!
Funny how uSoft gets to explain, repeatedly, in courts _around_the_world_, how they manage to get to step 8 after going through steps 1-7.
Funny, the ad that appeared on the comments page had some code P.S. Anyone remember the HCF instruction (halt and catch fire).
It has to be a Windows box connected directly to the DSL modem.
That way, you end up generating real spam while you're trying to get your real mail through.

Charges? We don't need no stinking charges.
Don't bother to call your lawyer.
What we need is for the name of some elected official(s) to be found in the data.
Then we'll see swift lawmaking action to clamp down on leaks of personal information by merchants and money-handlers.
Set up a different email account for the web page, and don't read the mail there.

I stopped building electronics in 1980 when I could get my hands on a cheap computer.
Software satisfies my creative urges the same as electronics did.
Plus it's cheaper and I make a lot fewer trips to Radio Shack.
(The _Devil's_DP_Dictionary_ states that this only serves to prove the converse, that all numbers are uninteresting.)
