Too much

Bill Gates was sad about his lack of familiarity with a certain bespeckled wizard:
...Chairman Bill Gates admitted that he has not read enough Harry Potter...
I've never read the books, but even reading about it seems a bit trying - makes me feel rooted to the spot, one might say.

But back to richer hacks computer moguls, Gates is claiming there aren't enough people taking comp sci in college to fill a need for IT workers. Say, enough so that they're as common as Fox reality shows, and the market for them makes them cheaper than...Fox reality shows. I knew some comp sci students back in Halifax, all of whom complained about the humanities courses they had to take. They were pale and aghast (the pale part just being a coincidence - honestly even the Indian guy just had a pale, WASPY mindset) at the idea of learning about things written that could not be compiled. Maybe we don't need too many more of these.

On an unrelated note, are there any songs besidesThe Supreme's "Love Child" that use "Tenanment Slum" in song? Do we need more songs like this? Doubtless there's a rap out there that in desperately seeking a rhyme went down this ill-advised road.
