Well, i'm 14, and right now i'm learning Perl. I've installed several scripts on my website made out of Perl and CGI, so, I decided it would be more useful to my specific needs. Now, on SSIs, i've dealt with them before but I don't really know what your asking. :-)

By the way, what's the average age around here??

Oh I was asking whether you used PHP, ASP, Perl, Python, Java, cfm, etc., for your (buzzword alert) webapps.

I am 18, I do not know about the others. I like internet communities like this cause it proves that I am not really that leet, just everybody in real life sucks bigtime. (WYSIWYG is eeeeevil!)

Ya, i've used most of those in my webapps! :-)

You know, these forums work so much better now that I've told my browser not to use only the cached versions of them :D

Gian your 14! HAHAHA, after all this I find out I've been arguing with a pimply faced, pre-pubescent kid. OH, and now I'm 19 (as of Dec. 26)

Posted by XYZ359 [send private reply] at January 01, 2002, 11:00:04 PM

Cool. Hehe. :-)

Posted by gian [send private reply] at January 01, 2002, 11:04:58 PM

And see CodeRed, I'm 14 and I can still outsmart you... doesn't that make you feel good about yourself?

and btw... I am quite acne free, thank you.

I just figured I would mention that age and maturity have no relationship CodeRed... Just cause I turn the magic age of 18 (which I did), does it mean that I automatically know how to drink responsibly? That I now somehow magically am an adult, whom can appreciate sexuality in an adult fashion, when a week before the magical day of the eighteenth anniversary of my birth, I was under age, and could not possibly comprehend the vast multiverses that a sexual relationship entailed? Now that I am eighteen, does this mean I will understand the label on cigerrette packages? Just cause I am have been in this plain of existance for eighteen years, does this mean that I will not simply collect the warnings on these cigerrette packages, cause now in Canada they have colour pictures of what they are warning about? Do I suddenly gain an understanding beyond that which I had a year ago? How come if I were to live in BC, and not Alberta, this magical age would be 21 years of life? How come in Canada I cannot get a gun until I am eighteen, yet in the middle east, the knowledge for owning a gun is acquired by turning 13, even though in the USA teenagers as old as 16 do not know how to use a gun properly?

So my point: Age means nothing. Children/Preteens/Teenagers are just smaller versions of adults with less experience. Just cause you X number years older than somebody, does not give you some magical power over them.

Exactly.... well put.

DakuDesuDx: Nicely said.

Great, it seems like I'm the oldest. 19 and 364 days.
But I'm not an adult (perhaps by the time I get 104 or something).

"And see CodeRed, I'm 14 and I can still outsmart you... doesn't that make you feel good about yourself?"

I'd like to quote one of my favorite authors here:
"No matter how good you are at something, there's always someone out there who could rip you a new one" -Kurt Vonnegut

Unfortunately for you CodeRed, that person or rather person(s) that could rip you a new one, is anybody with an IQ percentile higher than 10. :-)

Posted by gian [send private reply] at January 02, 2002, 02:51:01 PM

Plus, I'm *quite* sure you aren't _here_ to do it :-)
Dake: Lol.

I am 16, although if you do a search on groups.google.com for Johan Venter (that's me), you'll find 20 pages of posts I was writing to comp.os.msdos.djgpp and some assembly newsgroups when I was 12/13. My point is that age really counts for nothing when it comes to sheer knowledge. Anyway, it's a proven fact that younger people absorb information quicker than others.
