Larry the only thing messy is how you nest your comments in a post.

If this is a mess to you then you must be using some odd software to read it.

Never said music was a slacker course.

You proudly claimed that your school would not allow you to take many music classes.

I said the two philosophy courses in high school were slacker courses, Please reread.

You resort to being net nanny every time you get worked up. It's a shame you can't do better than a newbie especially with all that education you done learned. Please reread.

The point is you don't leave HS in the US "educated" buy Jackson's definition
You didn't have the review of the aptitude test when you were a kid?

Never had no reviews of my aptitude. I'm a high school drop out, 'member?

No wonder you were aimless.

I worked for a living. What's aimless about that?

sounds like you were in the third world
school, since it happens in the US and
Europe, as I understand it.

I took tests but I had lots of fun with them. Unlike you, I was not thinking about how to use the educational system to make money.

Yes, I would say Math and science are pretty closely related. I'd take
one Newton over all the philosophers ever born.

You mean like Zeno, Pythagoras, Descartes or Russell? Hmmm... was that philosophy or math we were talking about?

What the *** is zenographics, anyway,

Just a small company where I worked.

and how much philosophy is in the code?

Excellent question! That's the kind of question you ask in a philosophy class. Care to give it your best guess?

and why is it so odd that people make a living off it?

Because it started as something useless. Graphics used to be considered a toy with no really use. Most people today don't get how much math it takes to make this stuff show up on your monitor like magic.

Is code for printers the foundation of the modern industrial world?

Some of it is the same code as for all kinds of other things. Code is often like that where we use the same solutions for many applications, even some applications we never thought about when we wrote the code.

there would be no printers with out it?

In technology companies it's often about intellectual property in the code that may have applications to many seemingly unrelated software applications. You just need a little piece of every printer sold to make some good money. Technology allows us to leverage or work so literally millions of people can benefit.

with out verifyability, you have nothing but aimless rambling.

It may be that we have nothing but aimless rambling or maybe you have sorted this all out and know what the meaning of life is and can share it with the rest of us. I hope it has something to do with playing CG :-)
As I write this I can hear the fireworks going off at Disneyland.
