Re:Polish politeness. (Score 1)

I tend to agree... I got my high school math education in Poland, and after coming to study Computer Science in USA, I did not have to do much in any of the math and theory computer science classes. Ant that was almost 100% true for my BS and almost true (75%) for my MS. Science subjects in general are just not very popular in this country and the society and media do not help. Just look at how "geeks" are always presented on TV. Finally, look at the big corporations where technology people are usually stuck at some "senior developer/network support" position, and the only way to get ahead is to become a pencil-pusher, who produces tons of presentations and documents with no meaning. I guess, I did not say anything new.
