Useless Statements

Are there actually any real programmers even frequenting this board?

because it seems to me that the only people posting responses are:

1. making fun of grammar
2. saying not to help the person
3. making an obvious and unhelpful statement
4. insulting the OP's intelligence
5. insulting the OP's choice of prog language (regardless of what it is)
6. Insulting the OP's Operating system (regardless of what it is)
7. Making a statement that is inaplicable in the situation, or
8. Using some form of leetspeak/pseudocode to insult or otherwise make a statement that is moot or inapplicable


so i would find it interesting if those that frequent this board fill out a quick questionaire:

A. Your Age
B. Your Level of Education
C. Your Experience with Programming (list all applicable)
and finally
D. Your current Occupation and Paygrade

Ill start with the next post...

>>21

me again

classes ive taken:

Data Structures in Java (first class)
Discrete Math (nothing to program here)
Advanced Data Structures in C
Computer Organization I (circuits in simuaid)
Systems Programming (low-level C, Perl)
Analysis of Algorithms
Operating Systems (C and Java)
Computer Organization II (MIPS and x86 assembly)
Programming Languages (Scheme, ml, C++)
Compiler Writing (C, yacc, my favorite class so far)

currently in

Unix and Network Security (to understand hacking you must become a hacker, great class)
Computer Networks (C, this guy sucks)
Computer Architecture (verilog???  fuckin lame)
Multimedia (matlab and image encoding/transforming, meh)


also, my work is in beta-testing a brand-new programming language my compilers professor wrote for scipting automated code transformation for optimizing performance-critical functions (thats a mouthful, right?)  im part of a small team, its kinda neat.  way better than enterprise programming imo.  id rather do something fringe/out-there than something common.
