Programming Prodigy Arfa Karim Passes Away At 16
quantr writes "Arfa Karim, child prodigy, youngest certified Microsoft Professional in the world and winner of the president’s Pride of Performance, breathed her last breath on Saturday night at the Combined Military Hospital in Lahore. Arfa had an epileptic attack on December 22 and had been in a coma since."
You don't understand because you're just a useless little twirp with no real life experiences.
Your assumption. It's easy enough to lump someone in with a specific group just because they don't agree with you.
No one asked you to care
I just find it funny that the instant someone dies, they seem to become immune to criticism in some people's eyes (that or you can't insult them). Anyone who dares make a joke or insult them is obviously objectively evil or wrong (or, at least, that's what they appear to be saying).
we're just puzzled why you feel its time for insults to her.
I didn't. But perhaps they thought it would be humorous (and it might have been... to them). Watching people take offense to it is what I find amusing, however.
Filthy, filthy copyrapists!
She was a programmer. A gifted, young programmer.
Slashdot reported on the death of Denis Ritchie, why not her? Or do you feel that they don't matter?
Because Ritchie was an icon to FOSS zealots, while Karim was a prodigy within the Microsoft ecosystem. And, frankly, those hated stereotypes about IT people were largely based on observations of some members of the Unix fraternity.

You're sure it's one loonie and not a whole community of people who hate you?
Because you are a bit of an asshole...
