If you're not willing to work a little harder to make the users' lives a
little easier (a net gain in the long run), you're a pretty fucking lousy
engineer (please note that this is a conditional statement).  I'm tired
of the "technological" priesthood" who want technology for themselves and
don't give a shit about bringing it to the rest of the world.

Sorry for the profanity, but my patience is running *very* thin.
