Why does BLS predict a rapid demand growth for Software Engineers?? in comparison to all engineers in general... http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos267.htm BLS = Bureau of Labor Statistics (US Govt) And on second thought, will the majority of these jobs be going to foreign workers?

Is software "only Mathematics" and therefore not patentable ? There are arguments in some circlues, that the programs in computers are simply mathematical algorithms, and as such (being "only" math) they should _NOT_ be subject to patents. Thier argument is "you can't patent an equation" and...
