Maybe I'm feeding an AC troll, but there are 1500 people in the engineering department where I work, the majority being software engineers. While there aren't many women, all of them can code in C and C++, because that's what we use for our products.

I take quality every time. My sound system at home includes a mid 80s Yamaha receiver/amp driving two mid 80s Bang & Olufsen RL35 speakers up front and two late 70s Bang & Olufsen Beovox S75 speakers in back. The CD player is a Bang & Olufsen Beogram CD X from the early 80s, and there is an old TEI 10 band stereo graphic equalizer that components hook up through. The whole rig cost me about $100 from garage and rummage sales. I haven't heard anything that sounds as good for less than 100 times the cost.

Dude, the Tesla Roadster is no longer in production because Lotus (who made the body) ceased production of the body.

It will work. Like AC says though, you can get in trouble for not paying road tax. Also, the price varies wildly depending on where you live and who you buy from. In the Chicago area Jet-A is between $6.60 and $7.00, San Francisco area is $5.90-$7.60, and in KC $4.25-$7.10.

Jet-A at my local airport is $4.03/gal.

Not entirely. I have a Dell Precision workstation with a Core2 Quad and it still has PS/2 ports. I'm happily using a 26 year old IBM Model M keyboard with it.

Hey, cool, you're the guy who bought the iQue m5! You really made my day when I heard someone bought one.

I have an iQue m5 and iQue 3600 in the "museum" on my desk. :)

"Drive through the middle of Iowa sometime, a wind farm can stretch for hours of driving down the interstate."

I drive through Iowa all the time, the longest time you'll spend driving through a wind farm is 15 minutes, and I believe that's the one north of Des Moines on I-35.

Speaking from experience, Asus didn't even release the kernel source to their partner on those phones...

"Sprint will be fighting over users. They want users, and they'll whore themselves out 'till they get them."

Maybe Sprint should have thought of that 3-4 years ago. But they were busy driving away all their users with abusive customer service, atrocious billing mistakes and anomalies that were always in Sprint's favor, castrated phones, and a corporate desire to bleed as much money from their customers as possible. Of course, you can't make money if your customers leave, and if you can't make money, you can't have employees, which led to their operational headquarters (which is MASSIVE) to end up looking like a ghost town. Sprint has nobody to blame for their problems but themselves; had they not been asshats to people, they wouldn't be fearing for their continued existence.

I'm pretty sure I can control the universe from my N900. Its the best portable computing device I've ever used. I do Android platform work for fun as well, and I like to use the N900 to scare people. "Why yes, my two year old phone can run Gingerbread, what, your brand new phone can't?" :)

Our company actually used to stamp "Designed in USA, Made in Taiwan" on our products. However, we own our manufacturing facility in Taiwan. While we still design in the USA and manufacture in Taiwan, we only have "Made in Taiwan" on our products today, which I find slightly disappointing.
