I was on this page (interesting little article, that), http://www.codethinked.com/post/2007/12 ... -Code.aspx

and someone linked to this quiz: http://www.malevole.com/mv/misc/killerquiz/

Probably the scariest, yet funniest thing you'll see all week. :wink:

I got a 4/10. I guess it just shows that serial killers look like normal people, as do language designers - that doesn't seem at all surprising.

I humbly request that gravaera unplug his computer.

I got a 7/10. I was mostly guessing though.

*reappears after long absence*

Got 10/10 in the quiz... I thought the differences where fairly obvious.
One could also use how old the photos where as an indicator, some where obviously taken in the precomputing era...
Plus a computer scientist would never use a beany ;) So the second is out...

^^^ Wow. You must be a genius: I took it twice. Got 4 the 1st time, and 7 the second. :lol:

@Brynet-Inc: I humbly suggest that you try Google Chrome. It's lightweight, not too flashy, and pretty fast, too. :wink:

It hasn't been ported to BSD, and a different browser will not magically make Flash websites accessible.

I got 7/10 on the quiz. Pretty hard, actually.

I got 6/10. "Not bad, but it might be best to avoid a career in either law enforcement or I.T. recruitment." #3 is a trick question!

7/10, by random guessing (at least, I didn't know any of them).

That would be good trick question. He's not a language designer though. Or a serial killer.

8/10 but could've done 9/10. I picked one at random cause I couldn't decide.

I just remembered about Troy Martin after this screenshot and looking for his last post came upon this topic.
10/10 "You'd spot Hannibal Lector in seconds at an Open Source conference. Your liver's safe." :)

The beard thing's easy to account for - I always have to shave several inches of hair off my face after a programming session.
