My university started with Java. Fortunately two of the (especially intelligent) professors wanted scheme to be the first language we were taught. Of course the other professors voted against that because they wanted something more "relevant", so Java it was.

So instead there's a required programming languages course we spent half the semester learning/using scheme and the other half using it to understand other types of languages.

It's definitely worth taking the time to learn IMO.

GEdit is a pretty decent choice on Linux.

While I do agree you need to emasculate a bully, "smiling and laughing" only works if you're being verbally bullied. In order to emasculate a physical bully, you need to either make them feel fear or pain.

I couldn't agree more with this article. My father was old school and told me to do whatever I needed to do (to not be bullied). Stand up for yourself and you gain respect for yourself and from others. (and it most likely wont happen again)

"Kine" means Excellent in Hawaiian, Which would make more sense than saying Kind/Friendly bud.

Highest rated urban dictionary definitions for "Kind Bud" also state and correct this common mistake.

Probably the first post that has legitimately made me interested in what a Mac may have to offer. That said, the ergonomics of the iPad look haphazard to me.

Mind = Blown.

Good way to put it in perspective, thanks.

Ok is there anyone who honestly though it would be more than an over sized Ipod Touch?...

Considering that, and all the restrictions, this is probably the saddest piece of hardware/software that I've seen in a while.

"Hey look! I just bought a 500$ picture frame"

Point well taken, I will admit a lot of been looking at it through my cheap college lifestyle goggles.

I know that the masses are going to fall in love with the upcoming Apple Tablet, but I still don't understand why its getting so much hype =/

Hopefully to stand up to the buzz, it is more than just a souped up iPod Touch.

Am I one of the few to think that it might not be "all that"?

On a semi related note, Intype is an example of a great piece of software that should have been released as v1.0 already.

If it were to be released, I personally would pay for it and know many others who would also (in order to feed their development). But in its current (development) state I opt for something with backing assured.

Idk what else to say except Awesome :D

Scripts to capture the information?

Good point, I just need to get more "practice" with programming... anything :P thanks!

Good advice, I've been over thinking it. Thanks :)
