Like I asked before, do do you you code code like like you you lame
lame? ^_^
I mean REALLY, if yer ability to code is even HALF as bad as your
ability to command the English language you're an even bigger poser
than I first suspected.

>"several" colleges and failed out of every one.
Nope, got my AA degree at Walla Walla Community College. Then I took
a couple quarters at Eastern Washington University and then I took a
quarters worth of classes at Washington State University and now this
fall I'll be going to Southern Oregon University.
I only have an AA degree, however in total credits I'm pretty much at
a BA. See when I first went to college I started going for this AAAS
degree in networking, which I didn't realize until 6 quarters in was
basically just expensive training for CCNA and CCIE certifications and
the degree itself was worthless. At around that point though I got a
high paying job at Sykes, another mistake. I didn't really think much
of all those fun little test they passed around whilst we were talking
on the phone and telling people where to find their product key code.
Unfortunately it didn't take them long to figure out just how far my
knowledge extended (which even then was light years beyond your
typical computer science graduate). They wound up putting me on four
different accounts, E-machines, CDW, Star Office and a newly created
(just for me) third party hardware and software support. On the later
two accounts it cost the customers $20 just to ask me questions about
Star Office or to help them get their say Lexmark printer working on
their Dell shit box. How much of that $20 per call did I get?
Zero...nadda...nothing. And how many hours did they have me working?
12 hours a day...6 days a week. Do you have ANY idea what it's like
to TALK for TWELVE HOURS nearly every day of the week? That job
nearly drove me insane and in the end they basically fucked me over
cause I told them I couldn't work that much. That btw is where that
whole massive posting campaign against AUK and AHM came from, I used
to post to Usenet whilst doing tech support.
So, moving on, I then went up to EWU and took a couple quarters, at
the time thinking I would just go straight for my BA...but it was
expensive even after financial aide and I was SEVERLY dissapointed in
what they had to offer. I took their most advanced C++ course they
had at the time and was bored to fucking tears with the simplicity of
it all. I passed the time by teaching it to people after class (cause
the teacher was some doofy foreign girl who could barely speak English
and was pretty much just retarding straight out of the Deitel
text...not so good for teaching).
At that point I did some more research and found out that it was like
that at pretty much ALL colleges, that they really didn't have
anything to teach me and essentially I would have to wade through
bullshit until I could start working on my masters degree which would
give me the "opportunity" to work on a higher level. I basically
said, "To fuck with that shit." and mooched off my brother and friends
for two years in order to learn what *I* wanted to learn and to push
my creativity and art. Mooching prolly isn't the best word to use
though, because I paid them back in the form of free tech support,
software, games, media, etc. It really was a great opportunity though
because it gave me two whole years with NO other obligations. It
really is amazing what you can learn and do when you don't need to
worry about working or earning a living. The range of learning too, I
mean I have expert level abilities in nearly EVERY area of computer
tech at this point, from networking, to programming, to graphic
design, to rendering, animation, video editing and encoding, web
design, databases, etc, etc, etc. I don't imagine there are too many
people on this planet who can even come remotely close to matching the
number of skill areas that I posses...but then, I learned on my own.
You see, in college you're not really learning so much as memorizing
useless bullshit in a limited range of subjects. Yeah, yeah, you take
all the usual psych, soc, hist, lit, sci and so forth...feelin all
"enlightened" with base level trivia and a penchant for pop psych, but
that level of understanding is hollow, cheap and holds little weight
for real world applications since countless MILLIONS before you have
taken the EXACT same courses, learned the EXACT same concepts,
memorized the EXACT same bullshit and attempted to apply it to the
EXACT same situations/products/code/etc that you are. In other words,
the liklihood that you will EVER do anything unique or groundbreaking
is pretty much non-existent since your base knowledge is common to the
point where it has little to no plenipotentiary in its possible
application.
After taking two years worth of learning I went back to WWCC and got
an AA degree, breezed through the classes like they were nothing and
started a quartly collection of presidential toilet paper. After that
I took some online courses at WSU and eventually decided I wanted to
go with a more artistic approach, so now I'm planning on going to SOU
in the fall to get a BA degree in CMM. Ultimately though, I'm not
going there to learn anything, only to get the magical piece of paper
that tells corporate know nothings that I'm qualified to do what I can
already do. I mean, fer fuck sake, THIS:
http://www.sou.edu/Admissions/video.shtml
is apparently the extent of their video editing and encoding ablility.
Good fucking grief, a gawd damn 38 megabyte Jesus killing MPEG-1
progressive download...*shakes head*...yeah, that's not a half DECADE
out of date or anything.
>BTW, you're simply proving my point.
Wouldn't it be just...NEAT, if just SAYING that would somehow
magically make it come true? ^_^

>Well, no... I learned a lot of stuff on my own.
Yeah, sure ya did, Kiddo. Somehow I get the impression that you're
the kind of dribbler who went to college straight out of high school
and then landed some corporate kiss ass can job shortly after
graduating, in other words, your stupid ass has probably been kept
"busy" with enough bullshit to ensure that you range of skill and
experience doesn't extend any farther than say page 243 of yer 4th
year C++ textbook.
>I went to college and realized that what I learned on my own is very
>small to amount of knowledge out there.
....yeah, that's pretty much what I just said. Of course, even for
someone like you, well, even if you HAD the opportunity to learn on
your own, well, it's quite likely that you wouldn't have the
discipline for it. I mean, let's face it, most of the poser bitches
like you only operate on spoon fed education, yer not so good at
aquiring knowledge without someone there to hold your hand, give you
assignments and coddle you at every step of the way.
>You keep proving my point by being and ass. Carry on.
....right, I don't coddle you and hold your fucking hand so that means
I don't know anything, sure kid, sure...maybe you should go and take
some anti-depressants and a couple doses of Ritalin, see if you can't
wake the fuck up and realign with reality.

WOW, there's that ever redundant lame ass fucking comeback again. You
know, if you hadn't been spoon fed crap all your life you might
actually have enough imagination and wit to come up with something a
little better than simply pointing your fat lil grubby finger at me
and screaming, "ITS ALL U R FAULTS!!1!"

How's that PKB sandwinch, Kiddo? You should run and tell your mommy
about how you "won the Usenet", I'll bet she'll make you some

Uh huh, sure kid, sure. So what you're saying (in retardese
apparently) is that I need to create my OWN hardware from scratch,
create my OWN machine language, then create my OWN higher level
language, then program my OWN operating system and my OWN method of
Internet content delivery (which magically everyone on the planet will
just start using...tomorrow) in order to be a REAL programmer like YOU
supposedly are...*snicker*...well shit, Bumbles, aren't you 1337, I
mean, you just invented TEH WHUL WIDE INTERWEB!!1! Didn'tcha,
Bumbles? ...oh, wait, no I guess you didn't. In fact, you uh, you
really haven't EVER coded...ANYTHING before, have you? LOL
>Go lil' ha<COCK SLAP>
Hey Bumbles, let's see you post again. And hey, this time, try and
look like an even BIGGER idiot, cause man that's funny!
