    have you been able to come up with a perfect measurement device that can measure circumference of a circle to billions of numbers of Pi and then try and measure a great circle of a star?

    No? well then I guess I am going to have to say no, I have not found a perfect circle yet, but we have a lot of places to look.

    And you think that will remain like that for long? Silverlight 3.0 will probably include those facilities.

    We blame Republicans because They have run the country almost completely unimpeded for 6 of the last 7 years

    It is kind of hard to make a case otherwise.

    And I would not go singing the praises of conservatives.... there are almost NO paleo-conservatives left in this country... you know, that group who cared about civil liberties and a tight belt on the budget... gone... replaced by neo-cons and religious nut jobs.

    even people with a CS degree lack such abilities if their program was focused on theoretical ideas and lacked any focus on the engineering aspects such as schedules and document creation, and customer relations(yes, that is part of being an SE)

    Get one of those and get an MBA.

    there is something magical about MBAs...other MBAs seems to sense that you belong to the club and treat you with a level of respect that the rest of the work force does not get.

    Join a contracting firm then. There is not guarantee of work, but you can be contracted out, and they will provide some training for you in languages that they would like you to be acceptable in.

    In such a situation, while you are not getting guaranteed work, you can easily jump ship to a contractor. My friend did contracting and was offered twice as much as he was getting at the contractor from a client (it saved the client $100 an hour).

    Your friends likely got where they are by taking a 40K job, working their ass off, moving to at least one other company, and politicking quite a bit.

    Best advice....

    Be nice and helpful to everyone, get your boss to like you, work hard, produce good ideas, and you will be heading towards a 6 figure salary.

    I deal with Chief executives a lot, and the one thing I noticed is that they have lots of friends and business acquaintances, they are almost always cordial to those who work around them(there are certainly exceptions), they produce good ideas, work their ass off, and the board of directors are fond them.

    Since congress is the most important body, proportional representation would have been applied there as it is in any nation that runs such a system.

    Had they known about it, they might have structured the system of governance differently as well.
