I'm going to buck the trend here and advise the more conservative position. I took a developer job in the insurance industry right out of college, and I have no regrets. The work is rarely exciting, but it's stable and not very demanding. I have great work life balance. And developer jobs in non tech related industries seem to be largely immune to the upheavals and layoffs currently affecting the tech world.

Twice the refresh rate means twice the frames, so I'm twice as productive.

Or at any rate, that's what I'm telling my job to try to get them to buy me a high spec gaming monitor.

Iirc they did know, or at least Arwen did. Elrond says something to the effect that she will be giving up her eternal life when he's trying to talk her out of being with Aragorn.

Yeah you're right. I have read the most recent one, I just miscounted.

I quite like Mat too, but never could get behind Nynaeve as a character. All the Aes Sedai, even the young ones, seem to have this attitude of "I know everything so I'm closed off to new information" which is infuriating to me. Egwene and Elayne outgrow that somewhat by the end, but less so Nynaeve.

Tough call, but I'm going to go with Wayne from Brandon Sanderson's Wax and Wayne trilogy.
