Do you think that hate speech should not be removed from FB?

We are better off knowing about the haters than to have them seething behind our backs.

Children can't choose their parents

True. But what is the solution to bad parents?

I think Congress is the biggest part of the problem

I agree. At least our presidents worry about what's best for the country, rather than what's best for my district so I can get re-elected.

(1% black in a country that is 12% black)

The question is, what percentage of computer science graduates are black. I can't believe that there are large numbers of unemployed black software developers.

If somebody is happy doing what they are doing

I agree. There are a lot of bad jobs out there. If you have found a good one, then staying there is your best bet.

I think the thing that really gave Microsoft the lead over Apple, is that an old computer truism got turned on its head. That was, that you make the most money by selling mass produced hardware instead of software that has to be customized for a specific customer. With the advent of the personal computer you could write one word processing program and sell ten million copies. Apple was the only provider of MacIntosh computers while multiple companies produced Windows compatible computers at bargain prices.

Here is my impression. Jobs was not a great innovator. What made him successful was his ability to recognize and surround himself with people who had talent. People like Andy Hertzfield and Steve Wozniak. Most managers like to surround themselves with people that look and act "professional".

Redistributes wealth so that the new unemployed can live and find creative and entertaining ways to spend their lives.

I like this solution. I would quickly become one of the new unemployed.

Programming is easy. Developing large, reliable applications that are easy to use, understand, modify, and extend is difficult. Otherwise, programmers would not be making the significant salaries they get, and there would not be so many failed applications.

I am a recently retired software developer who specialized in scientific, engineering, and image processing applications. I must have been considered pretty good because I kept getting significant raises and I retired with a net worth of over a million dollars. I do not know what a netmask is.

Actually, it should be "you're" not "your".

Being English, I think they are saying your Fat

You need some work on the proper use of American (you're not your).

Lincoln was worst than Obama, he killed all those American citizens in the 1860's without trial just because they were wearing Confederate Army uniforms.

Obama is almost as bad as Lincoln who killed all those American citizens in the 1860's without trial just because they were wearing Confederate Army uniforms.

Leaving the standard key bindings in place allows one to be immediately productive anywhere

I have a 90 line .emacs file that allow me to be even more productive on my computers. You win some and you lose some.
