mircea_popescu: you should see the screaming matches that errupt in my board meetings every while or so.
mircea_popescu: a well. yes. all it requires is a degree in not saying really stupid shit. which, granted, is a rara avis these days, kids being pushed so hard to explore the space of possibilities they never learn to hedge their bets.
