People like this are why I don't like to call myself an "engineer" anymore. They've ruined the word for me.
I spent a year at WPI, and its fucking lousy with these stuck up losers, sharing lame "engineering memes" putting down lib arts majors. Mind you, these were not even engineers, just engineering students, most of whom hadn't built a single useful thing in their life outside of school.

And that's in a forum where a lot of the people who visit code. Imagine a place where you have different interests mixed in. By the way, I will say it: I like .NET. My first paying job was in Visual Basic / C#. Used to spend nights writing Perl. Lisp is not special, but it is powerful.
