in thread OT: Why Hackers dont do well in Corporate World

Note that Abigail got kicked out of the USA for not getting a piece of paperwork filled out on time.

There's some sort of moral there, but I'll let others find it.

    Are you (we) sure which Abigail is being quoted? There was another Abigail of told-em-so fame.
    (That might've been the reference (above) to the scary devil monastery)
      Good point. I had not heard of the other Abigail.

      Doing some research, I found this source for the quote, which makes it seem that it is an abigail with a delanet email. Googling for that gives me this Abigail, which suggests that it really was the other Abigail who is being referred to.

      So I was clearly wrong. Live and learn.

        So I was clearly wrong.

        It looks to me that you were right the first time - but wrong when you said you were clearly wrong ;) How's that for irony?

        A quick super search for posts by abigail-ii containing "foad" returns Re: Generating Regular Expressions and Re: Deobfuscation for fun and profit, which have links to foad.org/~abigail. One is a japh talk from 2001, the other is a program to generate regular expressions. Re: The quest for pure perl shows a cpan search for Regexp::Common and lists the author's email address as abigail@foad.org.
