One such definition is "lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society," which leaves "standard considered comfortable" up to interpretation. Regardless, the fact that there's scarcity of resources will result in a perpetual state where some do not have as much as others. The real issue I was getting at with this post was not that there are those who are poor, but rather those in such a situation who feel that they are deserving of more without putting forth the necessary effort.

In fact, I really appreciate the armies of smart app devs who unselfishly (for the most part) contribute to an amazingly robust world of OSS while much of the world passes by, oblivious to such a noble contribution. Okay, it's sounding a bit cheesy, but you and your world of peers and colleagues need to know that your contributions are exemplary. As for the entitlement thing .. I read once that the poor will always be with us. I count these entitlement-seekers as a part of that crowd. Dear Graham, I really appreciate this article.
