Nearly every game I've played, I hit a wall somewhere. It's one of the reasons I love the Castlevania series. You never hit a wall. Have trouble beating a boss? Go beat up on the weaker enemies for a while and level up.
You don't need to know lots of programming languages. You want to know three or four languages really really well. You'll accumulate languages as you get older just due to the changes in the industry. Make sure you know a common application development language like C++, C#, or Java. And make sure you know at least one scripting language such as Python or Ruby.
You also want to read books on design and the development process. If you haven't already read them, start with these: "The Art of Project Management", "Object Oriented Analysis and Design", "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software", and "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code".
All are essential reading for a seasoned developer.
I also disagree with your second comment. One of the things I like about software development is that pretty much everything you need to know you can get from books and the internet. A couple years of experience will give you the rest. But the OP already has that.
And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
I've got the original theatrical release on VHS. I don't care for the director's cut so I never bought the DVD. Now I'm glad I didn't.

As mentioned above, you do not have to press the escape key. You just have to enter an escape. ^[ (Control-[) enters an escape character. That's the ascii definition of that sequence. Just like ^G is bell and ^H is backspace, ^[ is escape.
Emails like the article describe sound like identity theft. That sounds a lot more prosecutable than your average spam. I wonder if the average spammer would take the risk.
There is no mathematical proof that everything can be invented hasn't been
Actually it is easily provable that we haven't invented all the things that we can. -- We don't yet know everything there is to know about how the universe works. Every time we learn basic principles about how the universe works, new stuff naturally follows.
That's not to say we won't blow ourselves up somehow before we make it that far.

It was Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa and not Johnny Depp who first used the phrase "guidelines" in the Pirates movies.
Is this enough of an error to doubt the veracity of the rest of the article? ;-)
I dunno about Linux, but I nominate Ceren Ercen to represent BSD.
Yes I know she doesn't do that anymore.
Even so.
Probably not even a good private.
Then you forgot to install vim.
I knew it! I knew it!
What were we talking about, again?
Can they put it in Mountain Dew?
The pidgin site has been slashdotted.
Hmm or perhaps is pretending in order not to air its dirty laundry.

I suspect you'd find a wider variety of 2d games on the Nintendo DS. There's a lot of good 2d games for it.
If hammers were so good, we'd be using them to tighten bolts.

All I can say is you don't get out much. Lots of shrinkwrap software written in C/C++/C#/Java is developed by folks from a wide range of ages.
I have to disagree with both of these.

I'm sure your post is true in general, but my Mom is smart enough to use OSX.
Looks like his server has just been blasted by the /. element.
Which can also be poisonous and explosive.

I agree about how preserve should be the default. However you can easily set
alias cp='cp -p'
to get what you want.
You'll be able to hear the music on the soundtrack go all ominous.

Microsoft is not known for playing well with others. However most MS products can accept wmf and emf files - and they are (or can be) vector based.

That's great that you got the screen shot. I wondered if anyone else had noticed this yesterday in the few minutes it was up.
