I'm glad I inspired you, though I'm not sure that was my intent.

Glad to hear you're picking up the language.

Philosophy majors, not so much. This seems to be the case for women of all nationalities.

9, but I did manage to beat two professional progammers. One of the other guys in my class wrote the best subroutine for this contest EVER, so I wasn't in a pool of midgets.

I'm glad I inspired you, though I'm not sure that was my intent.

Thank you.

"professional programmer" unfortunately isn't such an elite classification.
but congrats.  I hope you crack open a theory book someday

[Bloodwake]

Can you recommend any for a complete noob like myself? I suck at everything, especially math, so keep that in mind.
