Re: TI-H: Demolition Calc


Well, i don't know most of the RFC's by heart, but i know the SMTP
protocol, POP3, IMAP, FTP, HTTP 1.1, TCP, IP, UDP, ICMP, and a few
others that have slipped my mind at the moment. I'm afraid i don't
know much about ethernet except how to make cables, and hook them up
(well, not the hardware/protocol part at least). I'm more of a
software and high-level protocol soft of person. After all, we're the
people who make the software that users pay for :> (You can have the
best 3d card in the world, but if no games support it, no one will buy
it except the fraction of the population who write proprietary
software). Anyway, I also care about the end result of something. I'm
one of those people who has to have the best of both worlds. Not only
must my code be fast, decent looking, and easy to improve, but the
program itself must look good from a user standpoint. I think of it as
the kind of idealism that has all but died out in the modern computer
world (thanks to companies like Microsoft who don't care how slow and
crash prone it is as long as it looks pretty). Unfortunately, this
also means I don't get much software development done, but haye, you
win some, you lose some :>

And yes, I agree that those who are on IRC and think they're ereet
know it alls are annoying. I much prefer those who think they're ereet
know some, but there's always someone better and much room for
improvement types. I fall into the latter catagory. Speaking of IRC,
if any of you want to hunt me down, you can probably find me on
SlashNET (irc.slashdot.org) dwelling in #slashdot
