It's reasonable to assume that if Hitler wanted you to die, he wouldn't poison you with a sandwitch and risk being called a woman behind his back. Anyway, motivations do not matter…

I was hoping to get feedback on why a contestant would be able to compete very well with Pascal over C++. Because that's what he's been practicing with. CS courses in schools in Ea…

Exactly, just give me the gist of the illegal or highly suspicious activities amongst an otherwise perfectly legal invasion.

Me too. I know a lot of people with degrees in Law, Linguistics, Literature (in their respective languages) and so on who moved to the US and now have regular jobs because their de…

Care to elaborate on why you chose C/C++ instead of Java for the backup client?
