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.

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

Adellman infact got the Turing award, the highest possible accomplishment in the field of Comp Sci

My brother designed the most sucessful Computer Simulation and Modeling tool in the world and you think he is an idiot? LMAO Dude Intel uses his software to design their cpu's....I think your the idiot. 😀

Ausm

AS i said hez an idiot not for his technical skills but for claiming something he has no way to prove

yes he did and turns out 1 of the top '5' programmers in the world couldnt solve it 😀

No way to prove checkout the links....You can read can't you? You might need a translator for most of it because it is very technical.

I need to be banned because... why exactly? 😕

This thread needs to be locked because it's turned into a huge flamefest/pissing contest.

Ausm

you dont get it do you

i can give u links to 200 more webpages of professor's/post docs/programmers/developers who have written more papers than ur brother has and developed more tools than he has


does that make them top 5 in their field? probably not and they will never claim to be either

Your arrogance reflects very poorly on your brother. I've never seen any of the greats your brother so easily identified himself with act in that manner.

I really didn't expect this to happen...

nm, already answered

 

[kalster]

Hey I think you were the asshole giving me sh|t about my borther's capabilities...goto google type in todd austin and it will list a bunch of shis accomplishments and don't forget to checkout the Diva project.

Also you last comment to me was

you dont get it do you

My Brother wants those links because those people write those papers using his Simplesclar program he wrote.

I'm not familiar with Crystal reports syntax, but here it is in some generic pseudocode:

if(recordnumber % 8 < 4){

else{
NoColor

% is the modulus operator, as it is in C and Java.


Edit: Some of you guys either don't seem to understand the problem, or are just way off in your answers.

Smart man

Holy crap! Ausm is such an idiot! I only read the first part of the first page when I posted my first reply, didn't realize it turned in to a retarded argument from there on.

I'm an idiot?

Ok in that light if you are not an idiot proove it 😉

I think this is a first...

A "My programmer can outcode your programmer thread".

NERD FIGHT!

lol well

only 1 guy is screaming my programmer ownz everyone in the world


the rest are just commenting how stupid it is so say such a thing 😀

In only your wet dreams..hey man you started this so I will finish it 😉

Ausm

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?

systems programming yes I do.
