    You need to play Deus Ex the story in that game is incredible, much better than Halo.

    But I did like Halo's lore, but it didn't come through as well as it should have, and defiantly not to the point were people can seriously consider it to be an excellent story, the games themselves spend too much time beating off the MC.

    I've actually read all of the Halo books except for the most recent one, and they do an excellent job at describing how the conflict is going.
    In all actuality the Covenant should have steam rolled humanity in short order but they don't have proper military discipline. The Covenant wins ground wars through attrition alone, the humans are much better fighters they just don't have the hyper advanced technology.

    My Girlfriend actually speaks Cantonese as well.
    The Words for Bread and Full also sound almost identical.

    And I've more or less given up on learning Cantonese as well but she hasn't given up on teaching me and drops words into our conversations.

    I get to tease her back because there are some sounds that she can't tell apart, it may have something to do with the tonal nature of the language she listens for the tone and not the sound. So I get to tease her by switching words that I know she can't tell apart.

    On a flight there were TVs in the seats where they charge like $15 to use it. So I took out a gift card I had that had about $0.15 on it and swiped it. The TV started right up, it can't process those transactions while its in the air.

    Again it was a high school programming class

    The Perl class wasn't a Comp-Sci either, and I have fiddled around with the programming a bit since then. My senior college project was a programming one and I was a cookie cutter for you're fist paragraph.

    More recently I was reading about the OpenSSL vulnerability and I ran into this article
    http://research.swtch.com/2008/03/using-uninitialized-memory-for-fun-and.html

    I'm now getting serious about learning software engineering aspect.

    As for my line of work I do policy and a bit of auditing, no programming involved.

    It didn't work like that for me. In high school I was very happy to take a programming class using C, technically C++ but we never got to objects, but when I got there it quickly started to suck.

    Our teacher was a bastard, all of our assignments were text processing, using functions that we had to write our selves. I could do it but it sucked and wasn't fun so I basically swore off programming for the next two years of high-school.

    In college we had to take a programming class which I wasn't overly happy about. The language we used was Perl, and there was a good amount of text processing in that class also but it didn't suck for two reasons.

    1. We used a language that was appropriate for the type of assignments.
    2. The class was well ordered, we had an end goal, we were given a project at the beginning of class and every assignment was designed to help us complete the project.
