Yeah, it's almost as classy as your unsolicited "FU Dickhead" in the first place.

I hardly started it. I made mention of the fact that just because he has a doctorate in whatever it doesn't mean he'll necessarily be able to answer a question about crystal reports. And then you started going on about how cool he is and he's in the top 5 programmers in the world. Do you really believe he's top 5 in the world for programmers?

I'm definitely one of the top systems programmers in the world, guys
in this space (each of whom I know personally) are Linus Torvolds,
Richard Stallman, Larry Wall, Bjorne Strustupp, and John Carmack. My
work is not well known outside of the hardware design community because
my software is used primarily by hardware developers. I've written two
successful compilers, lots of X server code, and I founded two software
companies (www.bitraker.com and www.simplescalar.com). The latter
company markets the most popular computer simulation and modeling
tool ever created. And, unlike most systems programmers, I'm also
an experienced computer architect and hardware designer. In the late
90's I was a computer architect at Intel where I helped design
the trace cache in the Pentium 4 processor. So I guess in a nutshell,
I'm the best in the world for what I can do, but there are very few
people that have my entire skill set...

BTW, I think very highly of Mark too ;-) He's a great brother and
a hell of a sysadmin.

Ok, so now the guy is comparing himself to guys like Bjarne Stroustrup (which he can't even spell closely) and Carmack??? What a joke.

How many people haven't written compilers and X server code whilst going through school? Give me a break.

It's funny how he's the best in the world yet I, and I guarantee you few others, have even heard of him. He's a famous enigma, I guess.

this guy is an idiot
he maybe really good in what he does, hez a professor at UMICH which is great

but frankly calling himself the top 5 programmers in teh world is stupid


where i went to school at USC i took courses under some super profs

Adelman (the A in RSA), Numenn, he wrote Kerberos

not only did both of these guys design/come up with the idea, but they also coded it

Neither of them ever claim to be the top 5 programmers /developers in the world


not only is it ridiculous to make such a bold claim but its also hard to come up with such a ranking of any sort

I am not sure Stroustrupe or Carmack themselves claim to be among the top 5 programmers in the world

Why didn't he throw Knuth in there for good measure? He chose Stroustrup, so why not Gosling, Ritchie, or Kernighan?

Each of these guys revolutionized computing in one regard (some more than others), and as a result are highly respected and well-known. Your bro may be very capable, and indeed, might have equal ability; however, he is not even close professionally. What aspect of computing has your brother impacted so profoundly as these guys?
