     A weekend ago an MSFT programmer asked me a question:
     "What is Algebra?".  That was in a midst of a party, and at first
     I thought he was drunk or something like that, but it appeared to
     be that he remembered word "Calculus" but not "Algebra".  So, we
     discounted that omission as a part of the fight with terrorism,
     after all it's an Arab word.  Later on he'd proudly state that
     his alma mater sends the highest percentage of CS graduates to MSFT.
