It seems like all you know how to do is engage in ignorant, uninformed, personal attacks/insults. Not that it matters, but -- in addition to having had a news story I wrote published on the front page of the N.Y. Times (midwest edition) -- I've: a) Designed and implemented trans-national, trans-atlantic corporate data network for the trading arm of a major Japanese bank. b) implemented "array of pointer to function" in FORTRAN 77 applications. c) Written date parsing routines, originally in FORTRAN 66, that would recognize virtually -any- 'rational' date expression -- including the likes of "this 23rd day of June in the Year of Our Lord 2012". had a switch for 'prefering' European-syle (DD MM YY) or American-style (MM DD YY) dates when ambiguous. User-manual for the free-form command parser merely specified a 'date' was required at a particular point, would frequently generate user inquires 'what date _format_ is required?' Answer: "Use what you prefer, it will probably make sense out of it" d) Written the _first_ commodity-options 'theoretical value' calculation routine that was fast enough to be used in 'real time' in determining 'fair value' for exchange-traded commodity options. When the source data may change in a fractiono of a second, Doing 'Cox-Ross-Rubenstein' math *before* the underling data changes -- invalidating the calculation- in-progress -- is challenging. Doing it for the -entire- market, which requires sub-millisecond timing, is far more than just 'challenging'. e) Written the worlds fastest project scheduling software (merely 4000 times faster than IBM's offering at the time). After I demoed the software for over a dozen senior IBM construction executives, they contracted with the firm I worked for, for project scheuling services for -all- their major physicaal plant construction projects. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also bought a copy. f) Wrote the _first_ PC-based software for 'off-line' creation of control-files for a high-end video-tape editing suite. File format _entirely_ undocumented, required 'reverse-engineering' of everthing. g) Designed and implemented a complete _real-time_ market price data distribution system (everything from the incoming feed processing to the subroutinies that the 'user applications' used) for a major Government Securities brokerage. Stand-alone code on dedicated processors for each incoming feed, feeding a back-end server, with multiplexing daemons on each workstation, to support multiple simultaneous applications. Commplete with application-level transparency for the crash/auto-restart of any system-level component, and auto release of resources previousl allocated to now-zombie clients. Everthing _guaranteed_, by architecture design to be non-blocking, _impossible_ for one client app to adversely affect quote delivery to other apps, even on the same machine. h) Designed and built a complete 'subscription publiication' accounting system -- complete 'subscriber management'. billing, payment, earned- income handling, -and- 'fulfillment' processing. i) Written 'hyupervisor' (for lack of a better term) code for a mini- computer system, to automate a management task on that machine that the _manufacturer_ of the hardare and O/S said could _not_ be automated. > Aggression is normal today from such people, that have "good position" in > some companies and fear anyone could read any other than "established" > opinions. That is an amazingly accurate description of _YOU_, Wociech -- You might consider why you feel it necessary to _personally_attack_ anyone and everyone who "has the nerve to disagree with your _opinions_".
