<My performance is stating to be measured in how many jobs I can eliminate :o(> Hey, cheer up. That's good to replace people with software. As Jay rightly points out, people are designed for music, fun, dancing, swimming, massage, eating, mating, watching movies, driving cars, playing golf and stuff, not for geeking away in jobs which machines can do much better. Soon, we won't even have to remember stuff. We'll just have an ASIC in the bone behind our ear linked via CDMA to cyberspace and Google so when we want to know anything, we'll just ask It. Already, Google does my remembering and knowing for me. I just have to do a bit of thinking and enquiring. Ideally, we should eliminate all jobs so everyone can be like me and play and pixelate to their heart's content. The only thing wrong with unemployment is the pay rate. Reaching the pinnacle of Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a good thing. Eliminating jobs is the road to Nirvana. You should smile and think yourself a saviour of humanity, freeing people from the dark dungeons of the industrial revolution. Mq
