No fair! I program in Delphi, I could easily show you how to convert it to
Java!
Humph.
Of course, the name/stealing issue would not be relevant in this case, as I
trust no one here really cares much for stealing the glory. Whatever glory
that may be.
I remember a recent conversation with a person I met on AOL (yes, sadly, I
also have AOL, it's the only thing the locals here understand,...heheheh)
Anyway:
T=TrekerX
C=Crypto86
C: "hey do u still have that pkmnhq.com site?"
T: "Yeah, what about it?"
C: "why do u keep it, i used to like pokemon but now i dont because im going
into 8th grade and theyre so stupid"
T: "I keep it because it pays."
C: "why do u like pkmn?"
T: "I don't, I maintain the site, it's my job there."
C: "why work on a pkmn site when you can go get a prog to cheat surf4free or
alladvantage?"
T: "Why are you talking to me? Leave me alone!"
C: "at least I dont read geek books about c++ i use real progz and warez
and hacks now i dont like pkmn"
T: "Go away. Go play with yourself or something. Use a 'pr0g' or 'h4x0r'
and be 'l33t' <g>"
C: "ure so stupid, u can just go use a prog to hack sites"
T: "Why ? Go AWAY you moron!"
C: "no, go here <www.oogle.net/spot1.htm>" <--- crappy javascript while(1)
type-thing which loads messageboxes, basically a nuisance.
T: "Bye, you've been blocked."
As you can see, this person is inclined towards more malicious computer
uses, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
I guess the interviewee has a point.
