I'm not sure becasue I recently met someone like you, or the person you claim to be.

I'd think that real programmers would recognize syntax varies. They would first grok the boolean logic that solves the problem at hand, next they would formulate "higher level" statements that produce decision support. And grow. This is all regardless of syntax disciplines.

Oh my. I just posted an original thread subject: "Greed"
In that post I ranted about CxO culture and pointlessness of trying.
Thank you! Thank you for helping me make sense of my gut feeling and somehow understand that I'm trying to... to make a life, not make money.
Out of touch executives are running the country (US) into the ground from within. They percieve a need to squeeze every penny into their quarterly EPS reports. CxOs will stop at nothing to look good on paper. Their shortsighted strategies combined with an out-of-touch lifestyle make life a living hell for a vast majority of their collective underlings. Their only concerns in life are:
1. Where do I park my boat? What? No valet service?!?
2. ???
3. PROFIT!!!!!
If executives were more entrenched and had more at stake there would be more coherent operations at work. CxOs need to have their livelyhood at stake in the same way the rest of us do in order to make the right decision. Nothing trickles down to the underlings. You might survive in this corporate culture by sucking up. 1 minute of "face time" has become much more important than fixing a problem or making an improvement. God help us all.
This is just great! An automated way to harass people from... (insertstatethatbeatgators)

It would seem that by probe or in person, we have found a way to get their on our own.
Can't that be considered God's will? After a human mission to Mars, we'll have acomplished interpanetary travel, perhaps touching God himself. Or, perhaps God is playing us. Either way, our "contamination" of Mars could prove to be a blessing for an organism somewhere down the time line.
It may be Gods will that allows us to get there. Fronteirs are important to the human species.
Balance will be achieved. It is the way of things.
From infinitesimally small to the most grandiose, the scale of nature is infinite. Frequency, vibration, oscillation, revolution, sense, and being are all derived from this flux.
The wavelength of light is to big to "see" what protons and neutrons are made of.
They must accelerate particles to speeds that approach "c" because as a particle's momentum increases, it's wavelength shortens. This gives us the ability to "see" what is happening in these fancy bubble chambers.
...with society 'Sharp business is cheating and not getting caught.'
There is an undercurrent that looks to exploit whatever opportunity they might have. There are many people that would rather cheat/quit/stall than fight an honest fight, or play an honest game, with all the ground rules laid out in advance.
Some might argue, "there are no rules - just don't lose".
What is so wrong with losing an honest competition?
Wanna flip a coin? Will you snatch it in air rather than take the chance of losing?
If you answer "Yes" then DON'T PLAY
Good, healthy competition is important. I've had a hard time getting a fair shake in some arenas of life. I fear for the long-term population at large based on my relatively limited lifetime observances.
Anyone else sense a "wild west" atmosphere where there are no rules?
We are approaching a world where "what you can get away with" is more important than "what you are good at".
I'm OT but...
Be careful there. You are generalizing - perhaps based on what the RIAA, ClearChannel, et al have "allowed" you to hear.
Rap started out as one of the purest forms of music. It was all about self expression and making the most of the "instruments" you had available to you (aka turntables).
Some of the common criticisms about rap "bands" are very similar to the criticisms the baby-boomer's parents had about rock-and-roll bands.
"It all sounds the same"
"Who's killing the cat"
"Turn it down"
"An electric guitar (or turntable) is not an instrument"
"That isn't music - its just noise"
The point i'm trying to make is: like blues, rap is pure. The turntable, while ripping off other artist's tracks, isn't always balant and sometimes is a very creative use of teh medium. When done properly it is more of a compliment to the original artist, than a "copyright infringement" (echoes from the past - as I like to think of good scratching).
I'll conceed that "popular" rap is a load of crap, but so is "modern" rock radio.
So, you just go ahead a piss all over rap - you've been conditioned to think that way.

Oh yeah - one more thing. If they are that less-geeky that they can't configure Windows Explorer, you'd better remember to tell them to type:

When they are done. Have fun.
No this isn't some social engineering trick. Windows really does have a decent command shell and some great command line utilities, especially if you know VBScript and WMI queries.

At least it's good for something.
