I was in my electronics class today tweaking a custom PCI interface motor controller card I assembled from scratch - I mean, I started with ground up broken eyeglass lenses, refined the silicon... you get the idea - and some weird guy came in and started talking to the teacher. I guess he was a former student or something :rolleyes;
Anyway, he comes over, and is all like "Man, I remember when I was just a dumb kid like you in this crappy class.."
I'm like "WTF dude, this is, this is independent study. I'm working on a project for the UIUC robotics department"
He just stands there glaring at me and goes "uh, whatvever"
I explained to him the project I did last year assembing a 500 computer cluster for the U, and the software I wrote for Ebay Store, and he's all, "yeah I bet you don't know C++"
I showed him the source for some assembly I'm working on for a wristwatch PDA, and figure he will go away, but he just keeps standing there staring at me.
Finally he points to the dual opteron I have sitting in the corner, and says "that your rig? AMD sucks!"
I was so pissed!
(I hate adults..... for the most part)
