I did almost no programming before college. Got about a 3.8 GPA for my programming classes as an undergrad, was one of only about 30 engineering graduates from a starting class of over 300 and just finished a CS Masters with a 4.0. Your point is what?
That's why the university I went to (both for undergrad and graduate) required a prerequisite intro to programming course. If you felt confident about your skills you could skip the course but if you failed the first real programming course it was strongly suggested you go back to the intro course.
There also seems to be a complete lack of understanding in the actual effects of radiation exposure. Looking at this website http://www.oasisllc.com/abgx/effects.htm it looks like up to 1990, only a small percentage of deaths (beyond immediate effects of the nuclear bomb, primarily explosive effects and burns) are directly attributable to radiation. I'm not saying there aren't other significant effects but this seems to suggest that radiation is not the massive boogie monster it is portrayed as...
From what I found, ASUS was top on reliability with Sony, Dell and Toshiba higher up.
Looking from there I wanted a gaming computer and prefer ATI over nVidia at the moment though I'm not sure there is a major difference, Toshiba seems to have more nVidia so that dropped off for me.
I've had issues with older Dells (though newer ones look better) and good luck with Sony but the prices of both for high performance were a tad higher than I wanted. Eventually I found the Asus G73 to meet everything I wanted for a tad lower price and found a refurbished one which had everything I wanted at a much lower price.
However I think they may be more focused on low level development when it sounds like you are more after app development. Also I haven't looked much into them but I don't know what networks they will run on if any...
Price it a little higher than an iPod and I might be interested though for what that gives me relative to my existing desktop and laptop I still don't think I will pay more than about $200 for any tablet in the near future...
Just run normal wiring to a capacitor with some VERY heavy connectors, the charging station would need time in between vehicles to charge up but for a home station this would be fine.
Between my company discount with Verizon and only having one year contract (due to paying an extra $50 for my phone) I think the contract currently comes out a tad better.
I'm with Verizon right now and I don't believe the network is compatible (if its compatible with AT&T phone) so I'd have to buy a new phone. I'll look into near the end of my current contract though, thanks.
I used a prepay phone for years, ~$120 a year for my use of the phone. Unfortunately work no longer wants to assign work phones and they like to block my college e-mail so a phone with an internet plan has become more necessary. So far I've only seen prepaid talk plans...
So you are saying what we need is a simply user changed input? Though even with this, the parent would probably forget to swipe to child user before handing the iThing over...
And having said child work off the cost of falling for the scam wouldn't help teach a lesson? They will learn pretty quickly what that debt they just wracked up really means just like I had to pay the insurance deductable when I had my first accident learning to drive (and was told exactly the difference between that and how much the insurance covered to repair the car).
Natural selection is a fact. Can you point to an observation of one species evolving something that never existed in its genes previously other than the interpretation of fossil records?
I don't believe or disbelieve either side, I just take pieces of truth from all sides and compare and contrast...
I would love an Ipod for internet browsing and reading books. Heck even developing some small apps wouldn't be bad (except don't you need to pay Apple $100 a year for the development kit? thought I heard that some where) but as a developer I think I'd rather have one of these tables despite the increased price:http://promos.asus.com/US/ASUS_EeeSlate/index.htm
I will admit however that finding Visio equivalant applications for the Ipod is starting to tear me away from Windows based tablets but the specs on the Ipod just aren't there for some of what I want to run and the ASUS one has USB ports...
Well according to my democratic acquaintances, money is not fairly distributed and needs to be taken from those who have too much regardless of how hard they work for it and given to those who have none regardless of how little they work for it.
At least that's what I've heard before. Don't particularly like either party perspective, when will someone create the sanity party?

Code is easy, low maintenance, good working software is difficult.

So changing from nuclear to wind or solar power will solve global warming?

Ah cool, thanks for the heads up!

So make a laptop with a touch screen keyboard instead of a typing keyboard?

CNN (MSN?) had an article that stated 3 hours of HD a day would hit the cap, I think they were talking about DSL though.

Speaking of which, when is Steam going to get Alpha Centauri? Wait, where did the topic go again?
