    I like my manager and supervisors, but don't really like the environment. I stick around for three reasons:

    1. It's a paycheck. These days, this can be hard to find.
    2. I enjoy the practice and insight I get dealing with these problems.
    3. I'm actually doing something useful. I couldn't tolerate "helping" people buy a printer, for instance.

    No, instead he'll receive a few stab wounds (self defense plea) followed up with a sexual harassment lawsuit.

    I'll never have to work again. If the court disagrees with my self defense plea, I'll still not have to work again.

    I used to filter 0's, but I realized that sometimes they have something useful to say that a moderator either hasn't bothered or doesn't care for. Filtering -1 seems to get me better results. There's a bit more noise, but you get more of the signal too :)

    The part where no money is taken/received, apparently. The people in charge of this mess are scrooges. They subscribe to a very bad form of morals:

    1. If it results in profit, it is moral.
    2. If it does not result in profit or loss, it is pointless (or immoral)
    3. If it results in loss, it is immoral

    I forget the name of this system, but it's a real system that sociologists study. I think you could substitute profit for gain, as profit is a subset of gain.

    Honestly, I wish such people would wise up or die in a fire.

    I don't think you understand. These things are used as any other python code. The magic is that C is the backend that actually crunches the numbers. You don't even have to know or care that C is used. All you know is you call the foo method in the bar module.

    I'll quote someone else. Room temperature means something very particular:

    When I learned basic chemistry "room temperature" specifically meant 20 degrees Celcius. It is a fixed value.

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_temperature:
    "For scientific calculations, room temperature is usually taken to be 20 or 25 degrees Celsius, (293 or 298 kelvin (K), 68 or 77 degrees Fahrenheit)."
