Another point that I forgot to make is don't learn programming on your own! Take a class, it will be easier on you and you won't have to unlearn any bad habits that you will get by being self taught. When you are well along in a language or two and have a good grasp of good programming...

Learning to manage pointers is a pain, but it will make you a better programmer. C++ has the same issues, but instead of remembering to free your mallocs, you have to remember to delete all your news. I think object theory, especially as how it is implemented in C++, is too much to foist on a...

Learning C first will make you appreciate all the higher level languages even more. ;)

And what do you think the Python interpreter is written in? ;)

For programming, start with C. Despite what Microsoft would have your believe, C is the foundation that pretty much every OS and device is built on. With C you will learn not only the basics of programming but also a good foundation in how computers work.

I understand how it can be offensive, but you need to look at the concept. You have these emotionally stunted (almost sub-childish) AI personalities, and this is the best insult they can come up with. Schoolyard taunts. Rather then get offended, this is a good time to talk about taunting and...

Could they at least keep the main characters of Japanese ancestry?

Too bad it doesn't light up like it does in the game. I can't resist models that do that.

So, Homeland Security, realizing that they can't do anything about terrorism or whatever the hell their mission is, decides to crack down on copyright infringement so they will be seen as doing something?

They are suing because they don't want people to have a viable defense against them.

I don't block advertisements. I block Flash. Now this has the side effect of blocking some ads, but you don't need flash to advertise. All Flash ads do is slow down my browser and annoy me with their autoplaying audio and video. So if you want me to see your ads, use JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG, text or...

The only time I use IE is when I have to update Windows for a client or more importantly, to download a better browser.

Really, it depends on the context. I'm fairly awkward around people in general, at least I feel that way.

Well ventilated.
