I'm New...hi!

Welcome. What books have you read so far by Miss Rand?

Probably should be more like what haven't I read.

Anthem, We the Living, Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, Objectivist Epistomology, Journal of Ayn Rand, and I have a nice hardbound copy of the Objectivist Newsletter, which contains all the articles from VoS, C:tUI

What can I say? I'm a bit of a fanboy.

I didn't expand on my intro earlier as I was really busy.

About me: I am in IT as a profession. I have found that I am basically capable of doing anything I put my mind to. I have a business development company and a networking company as hobbies. I love learning new things; I sort of like college, but the more instructors I meet, the more that view changes.

We've got a mini thread here :) :

1) Geeks are power lusters [Felipe's serious contribution]

2) But they aren't in charge

3) Perhaps its because they don't have social skills

4) Or do they just appear not to have social skills

But I fear we're hijacking "dtalton's" thread.

Threadjack away!

1) Geeks are power lusters.

2) They are in charge. Want to watch me cripple a Fortune 500?

3) I have excellent social skills. I think the geeks you are thinking of are the screeching open-source apes that permeate /. Either that or I might be one of the few exceptions

4) See 3.

:P

How does the ability to cripple a Fortune 500 equate to being "in charge"? It is much harder to create than to destroy. Let's see you FOUND a Fortune 500. THEN I'll believe you're in charge.

Plus, isn't this the equation of political power with economic power? For shame! :lol:

Well considering the forum we are chatting on I hope you realize I was kidding. :P

I meant it as a parallel for power that seems to permeate the average business.

And I am working on building a Fortune 500 :P

Welcome to the boards...

Although you have not read much, I for one would be happy to help however I can with any questions you have, I have read many of the books you havent yet.

It is nice to see another person interested in IT. I am learning programming myself and intend to go into Linux Kernal and application design in order to develop my own Linux Os in the future.

/. is a good place to spin wheels with little result. (To readers who don't understand this exchange: it's because you aren't geeky enough :D ) Edited by softwareNerd
