after creating low level drivers an engineer will create wrappers so that computer scientists can do something useful with the objects I see... so you are admitting to the fact that you had to deal w/ minute details on a very particular process for a very particular machine with no comprehension of exactly how it would be used? I.e. a driver for a particular monitor for a particular computer OS, which by itself is completely useless without the OTHER details/programs/etc. I don't care what your past or current work has been... it doesn't justify your biased criticism of a journalist who is merely pointing out some facts. You criticize his writing and comprehension, but fail to respond directly to his core complaint/point... that being the fact that Cheney's call for 1 power plant per week is already being done... in fact, we are building some 2-3 power plants per week. So let's see some fair, balanced criticism from you rather than biased rhetoric. As for your suggestion that computer scientists are "less detail oriented" and don't work on the "important relationships" than engineers somehow do: get real... your ego is unbelievable... must keep you from getting bored writing drivers which merely let an OS communicate w/ a device. Cooking food is important too, but I would hardly call either very detail oriented. It's us folks writing real software which actually does something of importance and creates economic efficiencies who really get "important" things done. Since when have drivers had anything to do with other details such as business systems, web integration, whatever...?? The only thing they deal w/ is communicatiosn between a device and an OS. Oh... so many details! LOL... yeah, right. - Zen
