Follow the money, don't just look on in horror.

Yeah. Cos we all know if you swallow collagen it goes straight to the skin around your eyes. I dunno who's worst. The morons that dream this stuff up or the morons that buy it!

If the morons didn't buy it, the other morons wouldn't try selling it. So I say the buyers are worse.
Plus this stuff really does work, but it only lasts as long as you're drunk.

Reminds me of when I took my niece to a menagerie to see what was supposedly a wolf.
All we got to see was a small Chinese dog behind a dilapidated fence - it was a Shih Tzu.

Is there a reading list of famous/known programmers or (CS) engineers or ? biographies or related ?
A friend ask about some suggestions, and other than Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, I really don't have a clue.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,

I'm sorry there isn't a page yet for a programmer named, "Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan". Someday when there will be, I'd send you the link for that too.
