well whatever the reason behind this... i'm sick and tired of seeing this question on the forums;
this question is right up there with
'why are all programmers nerds?'
'why are all japanese better at artwork?'
and
'why are there no gays in programming?'
[rant]
quite frankly, i don't give a damn what is and isn't in programming... all that matters about it is getting things done.
bloody nerds and geeks piss me off royally, because all they ever do is ask dumbass questions and never actually get any REAL work done.
that is the exact reason you don't see any damn nerds who go on to do game programming professionally; they're about as creative as icepops ... most of them fizzle out into application programming which simply requires you to know what your doing, no offence to the non-nerd app programmers on here; but it's true.
this is probably also why 90% of the people on the boards like this are nerds, who seem to have an uncanny ability to remember stupid facts (much like women and they also use them in arguments and digs when it has no real relivance; again much like women :: shudders :
ya know another things that really peeves me off about nerds is how they find girls 'fascinating' ... i mean jesus what are you going to do if you ACTUALLY ever are lucky enough to get close enough without being spotted; study her like david attinbourgh or think the scene will turn into some porno. (believe me i've had it upto ->here<- with damn nerds trying to convince me some lass was giving them the eye in a way which ment she wanted him; you just know the closest they'll come to popping the cherry is through thier tv screen)

sorry, but i've not had a moments peace all day from dumbass nerds, and i am about ready to kill them all if one so much as looks at me wrong.
