Classing yourself as a peer with Einstein, who was a "lazy dog" and Foreign, IIRC, is one thing, but to class oneself as an equal to Paul Dirac, who was English, is quite another. The man must be out of his tiny Colonial mind. ;-) Louis -------------- Bye.

The wish-fulfillment in this pic is both touching and pathetic. Mostly pathetic. Yes, it's sad that people like Einstein and Bohr had to manipulate a photo so they could appear alongside such scientific greats. Incidentally, Bohr had such difficulty getting funding, he frequently had to turn to beer.

However, I hit a glass ceiling. If I’d an MBA I could have gone up to senior vice president and those guys got incentive pay on the order of Michael Jordan. http://www.uncommondescent.com/intelli....-170963 Really? Poor wittle Davy Wavy would have made it to Senior VP at Dell if he hadn't been so cruelly discriminated against by those evil bastard business executives flaunting their fancy-wancy MBAs in his face.  Hint: while it helps, I don't know of any high-tech company that requires you to have an MBA before you can join the ranks of senior management. In any case, he could have just gone out gotten an MBA. It would have been a piece of cake for a super-genius like Dave.  And if he was the monster engineer he claims he was then Dell would have almost certainly given him permission to take the classes part-time.  I've known two or three dozen engineers at IBM who've done this, and Dell is no different.  His griping about a "glass ceiling" is patently ridiculous. And that NBA-quality "incentive compensation"?  The same reason he claims to be a "self-made millionaire".  Dell stock options went through the roof in the 90s when he was lucky enough to be working there.  "Dellionaires" were ten-a-penny at the time as just about everyone in the company was reaping huge profits from the soaring stock price.  I know a couple of senior managers who work at Dell today, and their incentive compensation is not even close to NHL-levels these days, but closer to zero than anything else.

God did not create the human spirit. Got [sic] can only create physical matter. Spirit can neither be created not destroyed. A-holes (non-believers) are not part of the body of Christ.
