if you understood how things work in this field, your questions wouldnt sound as mornonic as they do. You don't graduate from any university to be CEO right away, you work your way there and i am pretty high up the ladder. So ive been to europe, latin america, america, and asia in the past 5 years. What have you done? |

What, its not like I have to work... :p I'll either end up doing what I want or mooch off my inheritances. Yea that sounds like a stuck up, spoiled thing to say, but I am not going to deny myself the opportunity to do solely what I want to do. That'd be stupid.
Besides going to school would mean spending some of that money. :p Its more cost-efficient to not go to school! :D
Oh and FYI Danny I could go travel around all I want right now, but guess what? I don't feel like it. My brother takes advantage of it though, he is on his second year long stay in Japan, and his like 5th or 6th time visiting over there. I like my ruts, for the most part I am happy in them. I do what I want when I want to, which is a luxury few have. |

Here's pretty much where you stand Nou.
You are incredibly self-centered, entitled, and you are continually making the argument that "most people are below me, so I shouldn't have to deal with what they had to. They're stupid. I'm smart enough to make it my own way because I'm ing awesome."
Well guess what, that's not how the world works. Most people are not able to sit in a basement all their life and learn everything they need to know to be successful, and judging by your reactions in this thread, I doubt you will be either. Being successful, and running a company which seems to be something you want to do, requires you to be able to work with other people. Oftentimes, other people that you don't even like, but this is a part of life. You would not survive in the workplace, I highly doubt it. I don't know why it is you got fired from your last job, but I could probably venture a guess.
You are like a ing child, grow up. You are sitting there and bashing Danny for having a job while you just sit on the internet all day doing whatever you want and freeloading off your family (RICH FAMILY FTW LOLOL)? I work full-time as a valet at the moment to help pay my way through college, is that also hilariously stupid?
You have to be trolling right now, because there is no way anyone is this ing retarded while managing to simultaneously claim they are a genius. |

No, you are working through college. Danny went to college to be a hotel clerk, or at least manage hotel clerks.
And yeah Danny, I know you don't start at the top, but come on, school for managing hotel clerks? Thats like school for managing a McDonalds.

:disbelief
Yea. I am. :p Infact I think this is the second thread that went almost the exact same way. :D
The guy I am working with on this project to tied up in his actual job this week and has a bunch of uncommitted code. So until he is back I am in a holding pattern in terms of this project. I am coming off that developer high where you are so totally involved in a project you dont eat or really sleep for 2 or 3 weeks. Coming off that cold turkey, with out a release... feeling sort of aimless at the moment. :o
I did lose like 4lbs though so I guess I should be happy about that. :p |

Oh. Well I saved up a lot of money while I was on unemployment so I could pay for school right now. :p Even though I don't have to use that money to do it.
My grandfather insured a free ride for at least 8 years of school for all his grandchildren. :p |

So an exam is an "application of knowledge" but homework isn't. Bull excuse for failure.

If I could pick one person on TA who I am comprehensively not jealous of, it would be you. It seems like every attention-seeking thread or controversial post you make is an attempt to draw attention to yourself on an Internet forum, the one social environment where you could possibly succeed or be remotely relevant. And really, how the are you "going it alone" if you have a rich family to support you if you fail? Your intelligence amounts to a geek obsession with a niche subject you've had near unlimited time to work on because you dropped out of school and lost your job. In all other areas you are a comprehensive idiot. Oh, and you've been trolled massively hard by ing Vivid Boy from start to finish. |

lol so you want to sit here and compare our family's wealth? out of respect for mine i would not do it since it's theirs.
And as a programmer, dont believe you won't be managed by someone just like a clerk would. |
