Your statement is false. I am not 'there'. Not that it would help the argument any further, but I have encountered some other posters who are not 'there' as well. Probably being there correlates (-) with 'nerdiness' (whatever this might be) and (metaphorically?) gives a picture of what/. has becum.

Well, it was definitely more fun working for he Americans (who were also much more well esteemed) these times, even for the lower grades, as I recall from stories from my father who was a POW at Camp Roswell (Quote from Wikipedia: "In addition to the airfield, the Roswell POW camp was built for up to 4800 Prisoners of War. Most of the POWs housed at the camp were German and Italian soldiers captured during the North African campaign. The POWs were actually used as construction laborers on local projects and many of Roswell's parks were built by POWs.

The prisoners used stones of different colors to form an Iron Cross in the riverbed."; I might add that my father escaped hard labor by working as a 'blood-sucker'; I myself later visited his superior in Hollywood, FL.).
Despite the recent movement to the contrary, not everything needs to be done by companies FOR YOU.
Yes, but (gov(bought by the companies) & al.) suggest otherwise. Imagine a networked system of independent agents propagating crucial information (and care) and on the other side weigh in why communication is basically monopolized.

Totally agreed (and I wrote my first code on a TR440). But the era you refer to is over, and things are about total control now. So you could see a swing from Wintel to (whatever basically closed device) connected to a "cloud" (basically a super-mainframe that gives the 'owner' total control) as a (further) step to provide a structure catering for future conflicts when resources become truly scarce. Just an idea.

What is so bad about being an artist? I remember a book 'TAOCP'.
The author earned a Ph.D. in mathematics.

Probably much better than 'scientists and politicians', the former doing 'fence research' for the latter.
