The problem is most people don't want to be hundred billionaires in 20 years, they want to be 10 millionaires by the end of the month. To do that you don't go for great products, you go for good products you can make sound great to other people and hope other people are stupider than you.

I tend to like every other one... 3.1, 98, 2000, xp, 7, 10...maybe 12?well see of the pattern continues.

I find Microsoft releases a good os... Gets drunk and comes up with crazy ideas... Refines ideas into usable os.... Gets drunk and more crazy ideas... Repeat

Usually this are associated with Christmas lights... What's the rush? Do it right this weekend instead of hoping you have time next weekend and you don't burn down your house in the meantime

What happened in 2013 to delay that report? This seems really sketchy and I'm not a trump fan, just curious...

Actually only two "witches" were burned, about 70% were acquitted and almost the rest were hanged. That's atleast true in England, don't know about the figures for the US.

As evidence of the computers comment here's Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation)

I had a job as a software engineer at corporate job but got let go. Mostly I enjoy backend. I can do front end programming but am very bad at making pretty things. Like sketch something out for what you want for a interface I can program it, but ask me "just make an gui for users" and it will be like win-me quality of bad.

Two things... 1. Your English is very good but it's ineligible meaning not allowed, intelligible means smart to do. Yes English makes no sense. 2. Does it give any signs it needs to go? Like I know my dog will be right next to me when he needs to go out. I don't mean in the room but like pressing against my body or legs, won't be 1 foot away. I had another dog who would sit by the door when he wanted to go out.

I had that experience last week. I half blame the language though cause the way it works is you don't initialize a variable, first time you use it the language automatically makes the variable and default value is 0.

I had a variable countoot that I had a formula calculate. Then a simple if countoot > 0 do this else do that. The program kept doing that. I knew countoot should be 2. I manually did the formula ... The answer was two.

I did the same formula in 3 other programs and it worked correctly. I spent between 1.5 to 2 hours a day for like 3 days banging my head on the desk trying to figure out why it would work. Fourth day me and 2 other guys were trying to figure it out when I finally really looked closely. I realized the formula result was stored in ccountoot(notice 2 c) and the if statement was based on countoot(notice 1 c)...yeah I felt so stupid when correcting the typo fixed the problem.

I may be, but is he?

I can see that. My father started getting sick when I was about 10 and died just after I turned 13 so I don't have resentment since it wasn't his choice but was also kinda latchkey child.
