My programming class hates me

Warik try to improve your attitude unless you want to live alone your whole life...

runner,

I'm not at the community college. =)

The Varnsen,

That's kind of the idea. I don't like humans. My goal in life is to find the perfect woman (i.e. my female equivalent) and move into a secluded area of the country where I will have to have as little human contact as possible. They truly disgust me.

warik, the more I read what you write, the more I like you. we are very similar.

were you allowed to use regular expressions or the split() function? shit, I don't have JBuilder on this machine or I'd look to see if split is even built in - I know it is in perl and vbscript and javascript - I have trouble keeping track of what can do what.
either of those would have allowed that to take about 5-10 mins to write depending on how fast you type.

You seem like a kid who was abused by other kids troughout school and you´ve created your own little world where you feel special... You feel like the world works around you and for you; By isolating from the other you´ve also created a big ego!!!

Happy,

We were pretty much allowed to use anything. The prof. wanted the individual characters shifted based on the characters of the keyword, plus he wanted us to destroy the spaces in the string and create encrypted blocks of text 5 characters large in its place. It was all pretty simple, but took a little longer than I had wanted it to take because I had to comply with his specifications which involved having a basic encryption cipher superclass and two extended classes for different encryption methods.

Still, it's REALLY sad that it takes these people more than five days to finish. I'm predicting MANY empty seats in class tomorrow. lol

I can't wait till the next assignment. Today in class the professor was like: "ok guys I know the first two assignments were pretty easy... that's only cause it's the beginning of the course. The next one is going to kick your... you know what." People were like: 'the first two were easy??????????????????" LOL THIS IS GOING TO BE HILARIOUS!!

varnsen, I don't know if you are talking to me or not - but I can tell you that the voices in my head don't like what you are saying. the dragon isn't happy at all.

and warik, did the prof explain that type of encryption can be broken by hand VERY quickly and that it is esentially worthless other than something to prevent someone from being able to read it off the page without a bit of work first?

last year I wrote a dhtml minesweeper when I was bored at work, I wonder where that is now - I think I'm going to fix that up a bit and add it to my page. sorry, random train of thought since I'm seeing assignments.

and hey, warik - do you think you could forward all of your assigments in your comp sci classes to me? I'm a major geek and actually like doing that shit, so that would be fun for me.
I know - hand into L symbol and raised to head. does anyone even do that anymore?

Uh, actually I haven't been picked on since I was like 10.

I've created my own little world where people aren't incompetent. You should try it. It makes life much more enjoyable.

You feel like the world works around you and for you;

Actually, I feel like the world works against me. Can't you tell by my posts? Take a literary analysis class - it may be of great help to you.

By isolating from the other you´ve also created a big ego!!!

If this were true, why would you think that I'd care?

No, he didn't. How would someone break that without knowing the keyword? If the blocks of text are chopped into equally sized blocks and the keyword is unknown, the text should essentially seem completely random.

Besides, he said that the point of the assignment was to let us fool around with String, StringBuffer, StringTokenizer, and the concepts of Inheritance and Polymorphism... not to write a killer encryption program to be used by a real company and stuff.

Too bad, the latter would have been more fun.

Count to 30 and then check your e-mail.

Has this incident prompted homicidal thoughts? Perhaps a good old fashioned flogging of the imbeciles?

 

[HappyScrappy]

if you really want to know how easy it is to break - I can give you a big ass list of books to read. by hand, fairly easy - by computer - VERY easy. seconds if that.

I'll now check my e-mail. thanks man.

and then bedtime for me. more work tomorrow (I'm actually starting to enjoy work now since I'm starting to get "work" done there again)
