> If we assume that talent is evenly distributed throughout the planet...

This is a terrible assumption. 71% of the planet's surface is practically devoid of talent.

Hey, dolphins are smart!!! ;-)

[kailashbadu]

Nah, you aren't factoring in those who are cruising on a ship at any given time.

[sho]

They're not distributed equally, either.

[TriinT]

The point I was trying to make was not that they're equally distributed, but that the oceans are not devoid of "talent" ;-)

Yeah, I hate it when companies hire dolphin engineers instead of humans. Dolphin programmers will work for half of what a human one will -- often times being paid under-the-table in fish.

[noonespecial]

I've heard, though, that they have an uncanny habit of disappearing one day, just before disaster strikes, with nothing more than a "so long, and thanks for all the fish".

[ojbyrne]

Just a random guess, but I bet if you added up all the costs of dolphin engineers in the US, they cost twice as much. They need those giant aquariums to keep them happy!

That's the funniest comment I've read in a while. Kudos!
