Quoting from the thread:

"California has, as most states do, I believe, a wage level above which
an employee can be considered exempt (if he or she also meets other
criteria). In most industries, this is twice the minimum wage; but
only in the computer software industry, it was $41 per hour as of 2001
and is indexed, so it will be $43.58 per hour next year."

The discussion was about whether "an employee" *can* be considered 
exempt "in the computer software industry."  Some employees in that 
industry can be considered exempt without satisfying the wage test. 
Even among people who do programming as part of their job, except at the 
most entry level, some will also have other responsiblities which could 
qualify them under the executive or administrative exemptions.
