Many of the people of the greater New-Orleans area have left the area, one of the visible effects of that is the 2007 telephone directory,What’s also interesting is that the 2007 directory has a Lasik surgery banner ad on the top of every page, reducing the number of listings per page , so the new edition is even smaller than it looks.

Engineers, Scientists, and Technicians almost never make as much money as business executives.
Let’s see a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows, Power = Work/Time
Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have Knowledge = Work/Money
Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work/Knowledge
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done.
Conclusion: The Less you Know, The More you Make.
That’s why i prefer to be a manager, and not a tech.
