I ended up majoring in Finance, but I got my minor in Digital Cinema, which had some computer science involved with it. <br /><br />You're going to have to read it! I know, I have books in my personal library that have not been read yet. I'll probably get around to them at one point. I was reading It, but the print was so small that I stopped. I looked like a fool reading it so closely to my face.Kallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17450682167840838704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4575335184889474111.post-59035734718173011822010-08-05T19:54:56.050-05:002010-08-05T19:54:56.050-05:00It's about a group of security professionals: ...It's about a group of security professionals: hackers, ex-cons, etc. Companies hire them to break in to their bank or computer system to see if their current security is good enough. For somebody who always wanted to be a computer scientist, you can understand why I loved it as a kid. It's fun.<br /><br />Funny you should mention the novella. I have had Different Seasons which has the novella's for Apt Pupil, Shawshank Redemption, and Stand By Me sitting on my bookshelf since the late 1990's unread. I am so ashamed.Valerie Troutmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410883127046380616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4575335184889474111.post-16941338591206740292010-08-05T19:45:19.446-05:002010-08-05T19:45:19.446-05:00Yeah, I have seen Stand by Me.

It was one of his last films. The worst part about it was that Heath Ledger had to come along and repeat the same loss. Have you seen Stand By Me?Valerie Troutmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410883127046380616noreply@blogger.com
