I scored 73 decimal, which is 0049 hexadecimal. This makes me an "Operator". If you ever need to jack into the Matrix, I guess that means I'm your guy

Joy, 4 years of Computer Science and I'm only an Operator? My real life must be getting in the way...

I counted up to 211.

Mostly on the old shit that I've used.

And a lot of the programming stuff. Sure I've programmed it, but did it work - no. Not a bit.

you know terminal/trash-80 babys like me have an unfair advantage...

especially since we already know the programming versions of Latin, and dead sea scrolls....

Yes they do - most of the stuff is from the late seventies to late eighties period.
COBOL was the langauge in addition to Assembler and RPG when I got my
certificate.

I heard that they're offering a LISP course at CSUN, so if possible I'm going to take that sometime in the next few semesters...

The main problem with this test is that it assumes you everything. In reality people specialize in a particular field of computer technology. I am for example a master C++ programmer with vast knowledge of Windows development. But as funny as it may sound I have a hard time using MS Word, Photoshop etc.

I think that's because it's trying to see if you're a hacker in the traditional sense of the word. Hackers, by definition, want to learn everything possible and won't stop at anything less.

Or people like me who started using an Apple ][e when I was 2 years old and haven't stopped on stuff since. Not to mention experience from ages 7-13 with industrial control computers etc, so its no wonder I scored ridiculously.
