I wonder if most peole realize just how much id software did for the gaming industry. Sounds like it would be a great place to work.

I'd much rather work at Armadillo Aerospace. But I admit my bias.... :) It's still John Carmack though. He's a nice guy too.

Going on who you are and where you beez, I take it that's your place of employment? The way I see it, gaming is one of the few industries besides pyrotechnics that you can get paid to blow shit up. It's great. :-D

Nope. My employer is a "little bit" bigger. :rolleyes: I would just rather an Aerospace company than a gaming company. Once you work with the real-thing, gaming is never quite the same. :-D

Me. Who am I to disagree with my kids and my wife (or do you think they are just saying that)? Of course if I have to disqualify myself then Douglas Adams.
Happiness is knowing that somewhere out there, there is a bullet with your name on it.

Perhaps you're onto something. I am yet but a young n00b in the ways of "thing." :-D

There are no role models worthy of the title "Hero" anymore. Well, no. That's not true. Those firefighters that died trying to save people in the twin towers. That was heroic. Marc
People are just notoriously impossible. --DavidCrow

People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh Smith -

I most definately consider most firefighters as heros but I give no special status to the ones that one present in nyc on the 11th. All firefighters that die in the line of duty deserve the same honor and recognition.

Most of them wouldn't go into a bombed building in the first place either. Also, let's not forget the ones that didn't run after the first tower fell (they had plenty of time to run btw).

I don't know about heros, but if I were to have the opportunity to meet anyone, I'd almost certainly choose Richard Feynman[^], with Lynn Conway[^] coming a close second.
