I'm 20 years younger than this self-proclaimed cranky old man, but I say fight for the chance to be a programmer if that's where your passion truly is! Turn off the TV, get by on less sleep, cut back on social events, and spend every spare minute working on projects that help you thoroughly learn the programming language you're passionate about.

In short, become an expert at whatever you want to do. And don't listen to anyone who says you can't do it.

I'm sorry ... but If you're dumb enough to believe that you should subject your computer to steam AND dumb enough to believe that doing it naked in the shower is your only option -- as opposed to hitting your computer with a blast of steam from that button on your iron, or holding your computer next to your pot of brewing tea -- then you deserve what you got.

Even if what you surmise is correct, his sentence structure is still abysmal. At the very least, he should have separated the instances of "to" for clarity:

"Schools are the one place on Earth to which people look to fix what is wrong with society."

However, this sentence is still really weak. He could deliver a lot more impact by removing the dramatic reference to our planet and saying something like: "We depend on schools to educate our youth and prepare them to solve the problems society has created." Then again, maybe his feeble letter is an ingenious attempt at demonstrating just how lacking our schools truly are.

...I was on vacation the first week in May, and I didn't do JACK except watch two entire seasons of The Office and a few dozen movies. It really was amazing how much Netflix I watched. I almost need another vacation from how much work I did with the remote control in one hand and fattening food in the other.

My first thought when I read this was that it was neat but not all that useful... then I saw I could block Experts-Exchange!

That was my first thought as well, and I have promptly blocked them.

Too bad you have to click a link and go back in order to block. I almost always middle-click links to open them in new tabs.

The Levitra commercials always say you're supposed to contact your physician immediately for erections lasting longer than 4 hours. And drugs.com seems to agree:

In the event of an erection that persists longer than 4 hours, the patient should seek immediate medical assistance. If priapism is not treated immediately, penile tissue damage and permanent loss of potency could result.
