    As a Jew, I am offended by such a statement as well. And how any self-respecting moderator could have modded it "Funny" or "Insightful" is beyond me.

    Just that. They declined to comment. They are not refuting it, thus it must be true.

    Its 9:56 am. I just got home from the ONE public school course I take, am eating breakfast, and will soon work on my other studies. I am only responding because I'm bored. And I'm not saying I should get anything extra, my parent post was simply stating that we high schoolers do not necessarily write crappy code.

    You call me the arrogant little shit, and yet you have no idea what my true skills are. You seem believe that because I am in high school, I can't POSSIBLY have any good skills. This my friend, is where the true arrogance lies. I'm homeschooled. This has given me a major advantage over people my age, because I have more spare time and more control over my courses. Other than the core classes, I can study what I want. I've chosen programming/software engineering. Also, my dad is a programmer. He has taught me not only how to write code, but how to write it in a manner that can easily be debugged, understood by someone not previously familiar with it, and how to document it. He has taught me a lot of things that no intern would ever learn in school, because he's let me help him and work with him on his software projects. Real projects, for real companies. You may want to stop and think before calling someone an arrogant shit again, as the arrogant one may instead be yourself.

    UML... Unified Modeling Language? I do not know UML, and I have no need for PDL. I know how to document my code, not just comments, but real documentation. I know how to write test cases, use debuggers, profilers, CVS is my friend (although recently I've been looking into SVN). I'm still learning, I admit that. However, I do most of the skills an average intern would be expected to have. Keep in mind interns aren't meant to know everything about their field... they are still learning.

    -blinks- I find it humorous that you all call me arrogant, and yet you are the ones unwilling to admit there may be a high schooler out there that does know what he's doing. Yes, I know what a Karnaugh map is. And for your information, I have recently gotten into assembly. Ever written an efficient path finding algorithm on a 68HC11E microcontroller? No? Didn't think so.

    Just because someone is in high school doesn't mean their code is crap. I'm in high school, and can easily program circles around guys who have been programming professionally for years. This isn't because I rock, but because overall I have more experience than they do. I've been programming since I was 8, and am now 17. Thats approximately 9 years of experience.

    It might... but then thats not really extracting O2 from the rocks, its just providing the plants with nutrients to extract O2 from the CO2 we're breathing on them. It would be easier just to transport our own O2 to the moon.

    Well, they /are/ going to extracting it on Earth in this test. However you are right, they should have instead measured it in volume at pressure instead of weight. What is the average airspeed of a laiden swallow? A earth-laiden or a moon-laiden swallow? AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
