	Uh, people, before you pass judgement on what people
	make I suggest that you consider there is more to life
	than hanging out in the dorms and eating frozen macaroni
	and cheese dinners.  If you lived in NYC, you might find
	$100K hard to live by, believe it or not (apts go $1500 and
	up in the city).  Or perhaps that $100K doesn't include 
	benefits, eg pension, health insurance, etc - those are 
	benefits expensive AND necessary, believe it or not.  Or maybe
	they just compensate their executives well because they
	are laying them off constantly.  And of course maybe, just maybe, 
	these people have paid their hacker peanut butter cycles (just 
	like we are now) and they are at the stage of their lives where
	a career full of hard work is paying off.  So let's just
	call this entire salary thing and whether people are worth
	what they are paid, etc a dead issue and move on.  You
	obviously are rather naive about how salaries are determined.
