Dude it will take you more than 1 life to get into the IIT :) On the other hand any ape like you can pick up a keyboard and start typing BS :)

IIT workers are garbage.

I work in Silicon Valley and all I see them do is sit around in the cubicles of Americans asking "What is byte swapping"? "Why can I read this file on a PC but not a Mac"? "Why does it crash on one machine but not the other". LOL.

IIT "grads" are like USA's 7th graders.

You are 18!!! And you claim to be at the top of your game earning a 100 bucks and hour????

Analytically I can think of two reasons:
1. You are not putting your 7th grade math classes to good use and using waaaay too many zeros next to one, so you actually *are* at the top of your game flipping burgers for 10 bucks an hour :)

2. The only other people I know who do infact earn 100 bucks and hour at your age are those who have really nice and tight ass :-P

So which one is it??? :)

I am not 18 I am 40 you moron. I've been around a lot longer than you and I wasn't brainwashed by commies in the schools like you.

I've written 19 successful commercial software products and I invented anti-spam software. I've worked at Apple, Sony, Hitachi - you name it. I worked on PlayStation 2 at Sony.

What exactly have you done with your life that makes you even remotely qualified to write on this subject moron?

Get your mind out of the gutter and you may amount to something.

Does anyone want to take bets on how many years it will be before Adobe goes belly up with a tandoori at the helm?

Not to mention people like Anil Bhavnani and Lily Tran - who runs the Acrobat project.

Just look at what they did to Sun - it's all Indians and Chinese and their stock is at SEVEN dollars. Apple's is at $170. LOL. This is the result of Tandoori and noodle-shop owners trying to do software.

The best thing as an American that you can do when you are asked to TRAIN your filthy tandoori replacement is to WALK OUT. Drop the whole project in the company's lap and just WALK. No notice, no nothing. Drop it in their laps. LET THEM FLAIL AND LET THEM FAIL. Without your training, their cheap labor is actually a LOSS to them. Make them laying you off COST them money and this will stop REAL quick.
