Please dont get me wrong, I am in no way saying this guy was right for what he did. A lie is a lie, and a liar you can't trust. But I just don't like it to be said that you cant contribute to projects (open source or not) because you havent attended a course. But if essjay's articles looked like it was written by a harvard grad, whats the diffirence in his ability now, and what it was when he originally posted the documents? So wiki was going to give him a job? Sounds like people just hating on the under dog. Just my opnion.
Sound just like somone who did attend some cookie cutter course to market yourself to the masses. I rate people by what they do, not what they say they can do. This is foolish. Why is it you "better than tho" assholes always harp on typos? I guess if i really cared what you or anyone else thought for that matter I could have run my previous comment through spell check too. But you did not respond to any of the real "meat and potatoes" of my comment. Your just telling me your better than me (and every other non-secondary educated individual) because you have attended a four year program. Do you feel special they you spent what 50-60k so somone else can teach you? And I am lazy? The problem is you only learn what they wan't you to know. Thats not an education. I still did'nt do a sellpcheck...
When are these poeple going to figure it out? You DO NOT need a 4 year degree from some book stamp collage to succed in this world. I'm living proof, 22 years old, no collage barely have a highschool diploma, I work for a major accounting firm in the IT department makeing a really nice sallary. With the birth of the internet, the youth of america was exposed to more knowladge than any other generation EVER. I am 100% self educated, and learned 98% of that on the internet. So to the big companies and the major schools, get a grip it's almost over, and accept a canidate on there skills. Not what somone else says there skills are.
