I do not understand how that is boasting... just following the thread topic.Quote:

Haha, timeshifter is always first on the bannedwagon. Followed closely by me. :(
It's also short for: CounterStrike Source (which imho will always be better than Halo)Quote:

"COBOL? Forget it." What I have found recently is that a lot of State Gov't still use COBOL, because uncle IBM has made it easy to do so. So if you happen to know COBOL and don't mind maintenance, you can find a job.
Which is why I made the statement that I wasn't trying to knock him down, just make sure that he knows the amount of talent lurking about this forum.Quote:

@Minitech: Keep it up, you're doing great. I need a whole bunch like you to pay for my old age. I intend to be high maintenance, too, so you better get a good paying job and work hard at it.
Luckily, not Michigan (at least mdit, the core of MI) We're .Net (mix of vb and c#) and Java with a twist of vb scripts for server maintenance.Quote:

I remember when I was a teenager and knew everything there was to know about computers. Everybody told me how smart I was all the time because nobody else knew how to do anything with them except play games but I taught myself programming. Then I went to college and found out that I really didn't know anything. There were tons of algorithms for different types of sorts and searches. There was documentation and coding standards that made it easier to work in large groups.
Then I got a job and found out there was a whole lot more I didn't know.
Now I work with all of the new-hires we get that are fresh out of college. They don't know crap when they get here and we have to train them in all of the stuff that we do. If you aren't writing code that links 25 different servers and manages terabytes of data and has to do it in under an hour you really are just getting started.
Just remember that all the work you are doing now will be a big bonus in the future because you are learning how to find out how to do stuff on your own which is a lot like it is when you have a job. You'll find that a lot of your time is spent surfing forums like this one to ask the other nerds and geeks of the world how to deal with the big problems that you encounter.
To back this up, I've learned more from this forum than I ever did growing up tinkering with programming and everything I've learned in school combined.Quote:

Nope, it isn't in the Orange Box. However, if you did buy Half Life 2 standalone game, you got Counter-Strike Source with it (I think...). I got one of those HL2 special editions which also gave me HL2: Deathmatch, HL: Source, and HL: Source Deathmatch.Quote:

I am 50 something years old and was programming before a lot of you were even born. It is humbling to know only one thing for certain, I don't really know much.
The modesty is starting to become immodest.

Well if you don't know much it doesn't mean that you know nothing so you could know one thing and that thing could be that you don't know much.Quote:

You guys better stop before some impressionable webtard reads this and forms a cult. You know it would happen.
