The level of education is also much higher in Western Europe than in the USA (or so I heard), because the funds for education are better here. Generally, Flanders is renowned for its (relatively) high educational standards. (that means the tests are harder, not that the grades are better)

Also, passing here requires 50%, not 60. You might also want to consider the fact that I had no assistance whatsoever (no teachers and whatnot) to help me study the material.
This kind of stuff passes as 'pretty good' to the normal people out there. To me it's 'meh, could do better, but why bother'. Yes, I'm lazy. And no, I'm not crafting an excuse

EDIT: Oh yeah, should mention this. We have a kind of 'waterfall system' here.
ASO: Algemeen Secundair Onderwijs (General Secondary Education): For people who intend to go to university. Has a very broad curriculum.
TSO: Technisch Secundair Onderwijs (Technical Secondary Education): Has nothing to do with tech, but it is a more 'focused' version of the above. Very few people actually go to higher education from here.
BSO: Beroepssecundair onderwijs (Professional Secondary Education): Teaches professions like baker, butcher, cook... For people who want a job immediately after highschool. The cliché (that is partly true), is that these schools are filled with dropouts and occasionally tardmuffins. Not all of them are, though, I know quite a few nice people from those schools. And no offence intended.

These systems were conceived as completely separate, but in practice, it works like this:

ASO -> if you fail-> TSO -> BSO. Generally, ASO and TSO are approximately equal as far as educational level is concerned, but the practical minds are mostly in TSO.

Regardless, this creates opportunities for 'tuned testing'. You can effectively make tests that are very difficult/very easy without creating too much trouble. It's up to you do decide whether this matters, but meh. (I'm ASO by the way)

Reminds me of this banker, Jerôme Kerviel, who had to pay a few billions. (he was a rogue trader)
The sum was the equivalent of 177000 years of his work. Yes you read that right.

IIRC it's basically allowing programs to be 'notified' of certain events (e.g. file access or link port stuff). I don't know for sure.

It looks great! I thought it was a shot of a huge 384x128 calculator screen

KOS+Calc2net = win. Actually, THAT would be awesome.

@Deep Thought: I don't think he means the game. Rogue's just the title, right Eeems?

Calcsys is not always right about variable names, I've also seen Reals called [A] and such. I think it's a bug in Calcsys, not in the OS.

J'ai toujours le fou rire.

I still regularly use a P3+256Mb RAM+Fedora 10. In fact, it's my standard working PC.

RedHat should work fine if you strip it down a bit. It's what we use on our home server here (waaayyy older still than my computer, and runs fine with RH9 enterprise)

I was referring to GoldenAcorn84, who posted about 'Winning the game has never been so easy' iirc.
