Strange, I've lived in Northern Virginia for 40 years, and never had any of these problems.
Considering that they were convicted of fraud, and the volume of fraud involved, they got a fair shake. It's pretty much the same as if they committed mail fraud - they just used a different medium.
As far as that handbasket thing is concerned, that's just because our 13 electoral votes went to W...
You forgot UML. UML is going to replace us Real Soon Now. I got into an actual conversation at work with a scientist who was convinced that UML could do anything software engineers could do and generate better code, if the problem set is defined well enough. The problem with this is: How well does the problem set have to be defined? This same guy was talking back in 1996 about the advanced AI systems of the far future world of 2005. I'm still waiting for it. Kind of reminds me of the old Harris cartoon about "You need to be more explicit in step 2".
I seem to type at about the same speed on my 1.5GHz PowerBook at home and my 2GHz Centrino-based Dell at work.
Most of what I do is programming, and between the two platforms, I have noticed that it takes about the same time for Visual Studio to compile on the PC as it takes XCode to compile on the Apple. Borland C++Builder on the PC is faster than either, though.

Opps! My bad; I mistyped. That's a 1 GHz Centrino-based Dell. Sorry.
