The problem was too simple for your PhD brother?

Yep, don't ask him to do anything like figure out how much a quart of milk costs when it's on sale for "2 for $2". You end up spending like $18 on milk.

But didn't he get it wrong? In truth my first response was just utter crap I made up. I didn't read the question in depth enough and figured that my limited knowledge of crystal would have killed my ability to give an answer.

Anyway, like I said, a PHD in semi indonesian computing doesn't mean that a person can do anything with software, does it?

Yup

http://www.simplescalar.com/ here is some software he wrote only 2 other tools like this exist in the world according to him.

Ausm

Does your brother have as serious an ego issue as you do?

I'm not sure what those links are trying to prove...that my dad can kick your brother's ass? It seems to me that your line of thinking has brought you to the silly conclusion that just because your brother has his doctorate cobol architecture he suddenly knows more than everybody else about all software and is an instant master in everything from crystal reports to medical software used to track my prostate infections.

Not really. Unless he's doing 2 hot chicks at the same time while writing his software.. then yes.
 
Just for fun, here's the PM (I guess not so P now, just M) conversation Ausm started with me:

Ausm - 12:09
FU Dickhead

Ausm

me - 12:11
Don't you need to send me the same PM again?

Ausm - 12:12
Or 3 more times in your case fvckhead....


AUsm

me - 12:13
What are you so angry about? Because your brother isn't a programmer?

Ausm - 12:15
Not angry just pointing out that you are a jerkoff which you probably already know by now

My brother is one of the top programmers in the world the problem was probably to simplistict sort of like your brain

Ausm

Ausm - 12:17
Checkout his website if you think I'm full of shit

http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~taustin/

me - 12:22
I didn't say your brother didn't have a PhD (in hardware design, not software, in case you hadn't noticed that), but that his answer was wrong.

Are you trying to defend his wrong answer or what?

Ausm - 12:29
He design's CPU's and also develped a Software tool Called simplescalar used by the top professionals in the computer industry. Like I said the problem was too simple or not enough info. My Brother is one of the top five programmers in the world.

Ausm

me - 12:30
Who are the other 4 top 5 programmers in the world?

Ausm - 12:31
You want his e-mail address so you can ask him personally?


Ausm

me - 12:33
Sure.

Ausm - 12:35
austin@umich.edu

If you don't think he knows programming software feel free to wow him with your knowledge...


Ausm

me - 12:37
What's your name? I'd like to let him know who's telling me to contact him.

Ausm - 12:39
Don't worry I got him on the cell phone right now and he is laughing at your comments

Ausm

me - 12:42
So you're not going to tell me your name, do I have to refer to you as "Some guy claiming to be your brother"? If he's on the phone right now, why don't you ask him who the other 4 top 5 programmers in the world are, that way i won't have to email him.

Wow, such hubris. I can understand being proud of your bro, but lets get real.
 
Egads, Ausm, you have some issues, man!

Anyway I am in the top 10 programmers in the world and I once beat your brother in a freestyle coding competition.

I had a laugh at that one. I'm sorry Asum, but that is just plain silly to make such a statement.

yeah, but he's top 5.

Is there like some sort of BCS for programming?

He's not, cause there are 9 guys that are better than me and I'm better than him! Personally I'd put him around top 50, MAYBE top 40, but not even top 30 let alone top 5. One of the competitions was to create a 3d game with an engine at least as capable as that used in Quake and it took him nearly 3 hours to write from scratch. Pretty slow, really.

you sure he didn't beat one of the other top ten? maybe he has done really well against the top 50-100, and has a decent strength of schedule.

if we only had coding playoffs!

You might get a response in a week or so...due to the significance of your e-mail could take longer. Oh thx for posting PM's without asking first you are a classy dude 😉
