Maniac: I've already coded a trojan - it's a program that shows slides of naked grandmothers. Works better than any rubber
Sling: I actually like being unemployed - it fits my Jimmy Buffet state of mind. I'll admit, though, it's sometimes boring but that's why I want to work on something to advance the cause of man. I envision a day where education will be advanced enough that a person can go to a bulletin board, pick an interesting subject, become an expert, and join a team working on a project that suits your taste at any given time.
rmp: To accomplish a bullet-proof anti-spammer, I would have to code up an Overlord program. Much like the villian program in
Tron.
bounder: LOL. Unfortunately,
semantician turns out to be a made-up word (look it up
)
OIO: That one sounds good. I didn't know they were in such a chaotic state. I'll look into it to see if they need me but I already have a internet based DB lookup solution in mind.
laz: Although facile, you're idea has merit in a roundabout way. How about a program that helps monitor and control environmentally friendly waste treatment systems?
Eagler: Working in a corporate IT department is like a slaughterhouse. They're called
code reviews midnight: I'm not adverse to being poor. As long as I've got beer money and friends, that is. There's a long drawn out rationale for that attitude so I won't write it out, but trust me, it's a complex as most Master's thesis.
Raub: I was a superhero -
The Cat Lord. With only the power of my mind, I could stare at a cat and make him nap - eventually. However, the other members of the Justice League were jealous of my power and kicked me out (damn Aquaman!). One day, they shall feel my wrath
Rip: Interesting theory, and probably applicable in a limited way. I think it's more accurate to say that every person constantly wants to make an imprint on earth. It's just that 99% of the time, when someone sets out to acheive this goal, it ends up not being what they envisioned and probably more work than they enjoy. They soon stop wanting to imprint and relax into a more casual lifestyle, calling themselves wise for discovering the man behind the curtain is a taskmaster. I would say the profile you outline certainly fits my situation, but asking me to marry and have kids! Man, what did I ever do to you!
This has given me some ideas though . . .
Thank you everyone
