Clare, I empathize.  I know of a lot of good, conscientious folks here
in the States - folks with careers that literally span decades - now
looking for work, or changing fields.  There are a lot of really good
software architects selling real estate these days.

What the corporations don't realize is that this is going to, in the
long run, weaken the talent pool.  Flood in a ton of people who know
nothing, replace the people with actual experience, and who is going to
guide the cheap labor?  Companies are already, unbeknownst to them,
relying heavily on lists like this to run their business!

And when the folks who USED to answer questions here stop doing so, what
happens then?  One day someone is going to ask "how do I find the main
memory capacity" and there will be nobody to answer...
