  1. C++ worked for me on How To Teach a 12-Year-Old To Program? · · Score: 1

    I am a computer science junior at RPI, and they start with C++ there. This way he has something that people actually use. A lot of the languages are quite similar as far as basic syntax, so it doesn't really matter which you start with, and C++ allows for the use of more complex programs to be written down the line. I would also like to mention that 12 years old is not to early to start, but even if they are not interested at that age, it doesn't mean they never will be. I have a few Mathematics major friends who have become interested in programming at the age of 19.

  2. Diablo 3 on Ask Blizzard About Starcraft2, Diablo III, WoW, or Battle.net · · Score: 1

    I've heard rumors of the jumping capability, and was wondering what type of attacks you can do while in the air? Is the jump itself an attack? Do different races jump differently? Does it use up significant stamina?

  3. Re:First Nuclear Weapon Equipped Post on Microsoft vs. Google — Mutually Assured Destruction · · Score: 1

    ...this won't be destroying anything. Companies respond to competition by growing larger and increasein value. That is good for everyone. Crome might do well with people who only care about browsing, and like speed while doing so. But that will only happen is a ton of advertising happens, which they havn't done in the past. Microsoft will always own the gaming community(which I am a part of), and without a huge boom in Crome, will continue to own the most of the market.
