<div class="gmail_extra">What I think :D... IT has become boring and has ended up becoming just application development which mostly does database fetching back and forth from a db and present it nicely to a user :s. It is still a job but :p its not worth it :D... currently being a brick layer involves more creativity than being part of those outsourcing Mignon out there (me included since i work in an outsourcing box).<br>

</div>this is your own fault. system and society do not instill passion. this is a personal thing.<br>
if you are looking for someone else to generate passion for you, in what you do, you're sadly mistaken.<br>
<br>
take a long, hard look at yourself - you're the techies; the fiddlers; the people that are *meant* to be passionate about what believe in!<br>
isn't this what drove you to want to tinker with linux / *nix ?<br>
and yet, the best you can come up with, is to pick on other people trying to do their work done, in a manner that they know how to ?<br>
<br>
if you're not willing to make && make fix, you don't deserve to complain.<br>
