If a stopped clock can sometimes be correct why not a nymshifting troll

It is the troll’s purpose to provoke angry reactions.  Writing the truth is 
an anathema to that goal.

That was easy.  (Good grief, you are quite naive, aren’t you?)

Silently setting a follow-up to troll another group is 
fucking rude and ignorant, you stupid cunt.
If you insist on doing this, set the follow-up to a dead

Especially when the experimenter is lacking the ability to tell the 
difference *and* the ability to realize their own incompetence.  However,
that is not what this newsgroup or any other of the involved newsgroups
is intended for.

Please do not feed the trolls.

Please do not crosspost *without* Followup-To.

I am not and have never been.  It is obvious that in addition to not knowing 
the subject that you are discussing, you also do not know whom you are 
talking about or talking to.

I have a BSc in CS (so, unlike you, I know what I am talking about regarding 
that field, too), and I have been working as a professional software 
developer for ca. 20 years.  Currently I am working on my second BSc degree, 
this time in Astrophysics.

Whereas it is also obvious that you are a loser who wastes their life by 
pretending on Usenet to know anything whilst simultaneously failing 
continuously to make much smarter people believe that you are not the same 
obnoxious person by posting under continuously changing pseudonyms.

You are probably doing this because you are very isolated in real life and 
are trying to get at least some social interaction, some attention, this 
way.  Your obnoxious behavior and inability of proper self-assessment and 
self-control, however, will eventually cost you your Usenet account with 
your current service provider as it did with the previous one.

I pity you.

what "professional software developer", fool, you are not even an engineer. 
This lying bitch is not knowing what to say. And BSc are for fools, I can't 
even remember I learned something along the BSc. Kiss my ass, a BSc program 
is the same as high school physics. You fucking lying idiot. Piss off now. 
Or say something short, worth reading. You are not "a software developer", 
much less "professional". Fucking stoopid, homepage designer. lol.

That rather depends on the particular high school. Generally speaking
the BS courses require what is equivalent to a high school general
science survey course that is introductory in every respect, designed to
keep the student from being completely stupid. However you can look
around in the sci newsgroups and see how, among the CS grads here, the
goal usually was not met. Even where the goal was met, the graduates are
conversant only to the extent that they can talk a good line to impress
the great unwashed while lacking significant knowledge. For a local
example, see Arindam Banerjee.

There are two distinct individuals with the same name so care should be 
taken to distinguish them.

A survey of CS candidate courses shows their emphasis is usually on 
accounting or alternatively on artistic displays.

No, it does not.  A BSc degree is the first academic degree.  You study it 
at a university or college, not at a high school.

You are merely arguing from your own ignorance, knowing nothing about 
physics, computer science, or higher education first-hand.

I can't even remember I saw another taking a Bachelor degree twice. You may 
take a Master, in order to change the direction for a PhD. You must be a 
fucking liar or an idiot. You didn't passed the first bachelor exam, you 
idiot.

That is because you are the idiot.

LOTS of people get dual BS degrees and there is no such thing as a
"bachelor exam".

you are fucking imbecile. It's something called *final_thesis*, idiot. Plus 
many others along the road. Then you come up with nothing to this

In the western world, college physics is NOT a recap of high school
