  5. Re:Poor Sony... on North Korea Denies Involvement In "Righteous" Sony Hack · · Score: 1

    The messages from the hackers contain some grammatical errors. These grammatical errors provide a clue as to the hacker's native language. My guess is Eastern European.

    It is best that this rule is taught as early as possible, because that is how the real world works.

    I was taught this rule in the 8th grade. The teacher left the classroom and when he returned he asked who was talking while he was out of the room. Me and two others raised our hands. You gave the three of us detentions.

  25. Programming is a tool used to perform work. Learning how to use a tool does not make you qualified to do anything. The analogy being teaching somehow to write does not mean that person can now go and become a best selling author.
