also, we were the ones who were different: we were those kids who were fascinated by this new thing. that fascination eventually turned into passion. for kids these days, a computer is as commonplace as a door. the fascination is still there, but no longer as strong. there's no strong desire to find out how it works.
back when i was still a CS student, i could easily divide the class into two: those who had this passion for programming(self-taught during HS for the most part) and those who were there because they were told that programmers get paid well. guess who shifted after two sems?
You know the type I mean. They’ve read an article that’s contrarian to some position widely held, or they’ve found some obscure fact that contradicts common interpretation. Some of them claim to have known it as innate fact, others claim it to be widespread common knowledge taught to every single person in elementary school. Of course, usually neither is true at all. Most of them are just contrarians. They would never dare to wear a swastika openly, but they love to argue about how the world has “misunderstood” this symbol. Or they view any opportunity for human interaction, no matter the appropriateness, to push their point. You know, like you do.

the correct question would be...
how do we get our kids interested in learning how to program?
and the answer to that would be...
tell them they're not allowed to do it.
That last AVG update encrypts your whole OS.
big deal. it's simply functioning as designed.
The best solution is to add semantic information to hyperlinks - but that's not supported yet...
or you could read the entire post that contains the link
yup, that definitely sounds like someone from /.
/. is certainly drinking the cloud-flavored kool-aid
I'll start... XML
