Speaking of former Soviet (ne Russian) programmers -- When was the last
time one of *US* developed a tetris, or programmed a rotating Rubik's cube
to be both defeatable and indefeatable? They got some pretty sharp cookies
over there...

The interesting thing about this is that a large percentage of
management and users are much closer to primates, intellectually
speaking, than we are.

This pretty much sums up the current state of the IT job market in the US
right now ;)
Do you mean that an IT job market still exists in the U.S.? That is,
aside from the H1 visa employees imported for cheap labor along with
the cheap outsourced overseas labor.
I saw a funny article the other day. In it the Indians were whining
about all the programming jobs that THEY were losing to the Asian and
former Soviet countries.
