Self-study hyperlinks and take a look at the (free) wealth of info Khan has out there. If interactivity is your thing, the forums are far busier than office hours were in my university STEM classes.
I don't think I'm alone in hoping this is cool enough to parlay funding another mission of this magnitude. Hats off to the engineers involved with this...very well done.
...and a nudge in the direction of Sparkfun, Adafruit, Hack-a-Day, et. al. This particular community is vast and welcoming for the most part. Example code, parts lists, and detailed write-ups are all over the place.
Sorry for offtopic, but I've been trying for ages and cannot figure it out: How do you get a shell in the latest version of Ubuntu? Somehow I can't seem to find it...
Yes, it is "that bad" when the posts are blatantly sensationalized marketing pieces about random plans instead of completed projects. "Triumph in computing and robotics?" Give me a fucking break. You'd have to be completely ignorant of the history of embedded computing to write such absurdities.
Work on two computers at the same time, and have them be not near each other. While a command runs on the one, run to the other and do stuff there, and vice versa
I'm one of those guys too. I don't think I would have got my foot in the door without having web dev and C++ code in the wild though. I did a ton of QA before I committed any code, and added Android dev to my virtual resume before getting a good job. Once you are there, skills around logic / math are great items to have in the colloquial toolbox.
Nice try Dwight. I have exactly printed two documents at my current office: my background check documentation for a third party security clearance org and my offer letter when we were bought out by one of the big dogs. Multiple monitors and projectors are cheap by comparison.

Next time those bastards grab your line and won't let go, give them a really, really fucking loud reason to.

Meh. I'm waiting for an egocentric trillionaire to build a 27" iMac Beowulf wheelhouse cluster.
Follow-up: what do you suppose are some of the best ways to defend against tyranny?
Moat. Can't go wrong with a moat.
Am I the only person who immediately thought of the scene in Monsters vs. Aliens where Dr. Cockroach revealed that his Ph.D. WA in Dance?
Yes.
Well, hopefully I'll get a new dishwasher sometime but I doubt it'll be networked.
A man can dream.
Will it run Linux?
Take my advice, find a job you are happy with and make it the fun place!
Nerf guy alert...
My response to that company:
"I quit, because you're a fucking moron. Have a nice life....chump."

I'm afraid you missed that joke, Anonymous Coward.
I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Anonymous Coward.

Ahem. It runs Linux.
People would rather buy Motorola Droids even though the adverts feature ninjas and giant robots.
Even though?
Spot on. I broke into the game with a math degree and code in the wild. I was hired by an EE who fell into software dev in a similar way.
