how come they don't commit suicide while playing? they all seem to commit suicide after they are done playing. you know what i think?

they are depressed. they have been so up high, were important and now, there's no light, camera, action for them. plus serious financial difficulties which is the norm amongst majority of retired sports athletes.

but it's also sad that they are not vigilant. the backdoor is a lame backdoor that a middle school kid could pull off. how no one noticed is unbelievable for so long!

gemster@hidden:~/Unreal3.2$ grep DEBUG3_DOLOG_SYSTEM include/struct.h
#define DEBUG3_LOG(x) DEBUG3_DOLOG_SYSTEM (x)
#define DEBUG3_DOLOG_SYSTEM(x) system(x)
gemster@hidden:~/Unreal3.2$

freaking (system)

it wasn't even something creative hidden with a race condition or buffer overflow, I hate to trust that ircd server, until the entire source is audited triple times over.

You can't be serious.

Once upon a time, there was not any job that really required science, math and technology skills? Go back to 1850.

So I suppose we should not have taught them. Do you think the job comes before the skills or the skills come before the job?

Frankly. There are more than enough jobs that require math, science, and technology skills. It's 2010. We are no longer in the industrial age, we are in the tech age. Even if people don't work in the tech fields, they will be able to apply their skills using technology. We are at the point where physicists, chemists, biologists are needing to know how to program to dig in into their work. Do you think it doesn't apply to other's in different fields? Please!

Jobs will be created when we know we have people with the needed skills.
It's when there aren't enough people with the skills that you need that we hesitate to create jobs because training is expensive!

really? and what components does your computer have outside of disk drives doesn't your television have? people turn on/off their TV tons of times a day, it's the same electronics component. Please!
Shed the myth! Hard disks for the most part are now better designed than back in the days, systems boot very fast, there is no need to keep your computer on if you will not be using it for a long time.
