The more maths you know the less you can do calculations...

I remember IRIX as that operating system that had an amazing number of exploits, and they went unpatched for so long. It looked like there wasn't a buffer that they wouldn't overflow...

The company that makes GTA was sued for content that was not accessible in the game.

Not sure of what the downvote is about because this is an accurate representation of the post-dotcom time. Enrollments in CS went down, programmers would be offshored to India, nobody wanted to be in …

Julia's stack isn't just wrappers around the same libraries though.
