If you know the movie reference you'll know just how life is imitating art. Otherwise you'll just be left wiping your (corona) feverish brow.

I may be wrong, but that kind of meme has the potential of inviting the angel of thread death.

A popular comic on how programmers actually create software.
Maybe not only programmers ;)

I had a physics teacher that said exactly that. Some years ago someone asked during a class why we can't have a test with the help of the internet. Some people jumped in the bandwagon of the initial idea.

The teacher just replied, "If all of you want, we can have, but it will not help, I will choose questions tailored to be hard to search for solutions. Just because the tests without consultation have questions you can easily use the notebook to solve them, that doesn't mean that said "internet consultation" test will have the same level of questions."

After she finished we could listen the silence in the classroom. The proposal were dismissed. Remember we are talking about the late 90s, early 2000, the years of the Internet Boom were everyone who were young think that the Internet had solution for everything, just shy away of a search in Altavista or Yahoo.

Same thing to me. My signal processing theory professor was asked by some students what they could bring with them at the exams. His answer: Anything that you can drag in by yourself. 70% failed.

Our electronics exam when i was in Italy allowed us to bring the standard electronics manual that the library had enough of for one por last year student. Thing is no one could understand it.

My boss seems to think you can "just" look stuff up on the internet.

The superlative decapping and analysis which presumably inspired the above meme makes for fascinating reading.

> The 8271 has exceeded our expectations! Where to start? It's a massive chip, encompassing dual cores and a Javascript like execution model. Remember, this was the mid-1970s. Its general purpose CPU runs an Intel instruction set architecture that I don't believe has been publicly documented until now. It's not every day we get the treat of a new Intel ISA.

Of course they subsequently used their newfound understanding of the ISA to bypass copy protection.  ;D

I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

ouch, I did say RTFM to a subcontractor  :palm: They were worried that the pins I had put on my harness drawing were wrong as they were "so short". Well if you just looked at the book you will clearly see that.....
