First time I heard him speak as well. I thought he did a great job. The slides were perfect for the target audience. His enthusiasm was contagious. Either we watched a different talk or your bias is showing.
seeing how reading books for extended periods of time will deteriorate your eye sight, since you are putting too much straign on your eyes by focusing so close, would using these things as your computer monitor be really feasable for more than a few minutes? I mean focusing your eyes so close seems like a big streign, is this thing even practical?
don't like that asshole in your class on scholorship getting the good grades, no problem, set up a blog with his name bashing the university, tada, asshole gets kicked out, and the curve is back to normal, who said there is no justice in this world.
i just HAD To say it, you made my day buddy, i was laughing my ass off when i read your comment. perhaps i should've been crying, but the sarcasm, and the satire, was just too funny.
as sad as it is i actually know EXACTLY what you are talking about, you basically pick up a pay check wich is about 50% less than what your gross pay is, which really SUX. and so i do believe that you can make as much working at your bike store as you would working for the fat cats at IT, which makes me think of how much loot the mafia picks up cash from under the table (sorry couldn't help it just saw godfather), i mean really what 25k/year "fake" under the table job = 50k/year "real" job, so your avg shome is DAMB BROKE, now think "mafia", talk about well off:).. makes you want to get into organized crime now don't it:)
i think what he meant was he collects cash at the bike shop, err under the table job dumbass, the only thing that lacks is a good health coverage, but if you got a spouse as long as one of you has a health coverage (which they then can get for the "family" )...
ok, your wife IS mad cool...she is also is NOT a money grubbing bitch... as are most women you encounter in this day in age, does she have a sister????? jk:)...
hmm..i'm glad you took the time out of your day to set me staight, however although well said interestingly your argument doesn't apply to me, that's not to say you don't make a good point. i have to agree with you that my grammer is SHIT and i can't spell to save my life, but there are these things called grammer checkers and spell checkers for things that are important, and slashdot isn't on that list, however if i was to nitpick about your grammer and spelling i'm sure i'd find some run on sentances here and there.
I still stand firm on my belief that grades don't mean shit and teachers are (mostly) dumbasses as far as teaching is concerned. highschool teachers tend to be too dumb to teach well, and college profs don't care enough. as it happens my grades thoughout college were pretty good (3.3 with double major math/comp sci, [notice how english isn't one of em] ) BUT that is because i actually liked what i was doing, i learned everything on my own with only slight guidence from proffs, and some shitty proffs actually screwed me over in getting a good education. now take some poor schmuck who hasn't been motivated by any subject matter in his life (lack of any good teachers to motivate him) and doesn't care to learn on his own, because he's not motivated, well he's bound to fuck up in school all the way, does that mean he's a moron, NO. how often does this happen, YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED. the youth from poor families can't really be intellectually motivated by their parents, their parents don't know shit(and not cuz they're stupid), that's why they're poor, and no teachers to motivate them they are bound to fuck up, does that mean they're stuipid, NO. one of my college proffs (great proff) once told me, that most high school math teachers are college math majors who don't really like math, don't do good at it, but have nowhere else to turn for a job.
lastly if you didn't notice, this whole reply is a giant run on sentance in case you think i didn't notice:), but i'm not publishing here. and perhaps you missed the point of this thead, the parent thread nicely pointed out how his teacher is a blatent idiot, all i did was agree that although it's rare for teachers to be THAT dumb, it happens. if you wanted to argue my point, perhaps you shoulda done it in a more logical, less name calling way.
ok lets face it teachers are stuipid, i mean they are teachers, i.e. they couldn't get a real job, ok i'm exagerating here, but seriously i've only had a SMALL share of GOOD teachers in high school and in college. I mean you would think the college teachers would be better but in truth they aren't, although the percent wise there are more better proffs in college from my experience. most of them don't really care to teach in college cuz they are too busy with their research and the ones that teach H.S. are just plain dumb, which is another reason we have a problem of dumb illiterate fucks accusing h.s. kids of "hacking" when all they did was open up a shell and use "talk" or some trivial shit like that. what can we do about it, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (my opinion only:) ), suck it up and live with it, the system is not getting better. thank god for the internet, at least one can get a real education these days. (also proves that GRADES don't mean shit)
hahaha:)
yeah i know that one. i once had a friend who had the hots for this girl, ask me to help her with her cs assignments cuz she couldn't cut it herself, so i helped her, no big deal. also used to help these chix i wasn't interested in, just so they introduce me to their friends, cuz i thought i stood a shot, no i was not dilusional (i think), cuz lets face it, there are NONE pretty girls in the cs classes (the ones i taken at least) i mean i saw ONE once and i couldn't stop drewling...too bad she was taken. i mean seriously a hot chick in the CS business, let's get real... you gotta go into phsychology, or philosophy or one of those.:)
how many IT "proffessionals" do you know that type with their index fingers? If you have mild CTS you can always claim incompitant at typing and get at the keyboard w/ 2 fingers. unproductive sure, but i've known ppl who can do about 30wpm like that.

it's a sad state of affairs.

WOW that really blows man, you have my condolenses , sorry to hear you work for such a bunch of 2faces assholes.
hope you find a new better job.
ok, your wife IS mad cool...she is also is NOT a money grubbing bitch... as are most women you encounter in this day in age, does she have a sister????? jk :)...
umm...wouldn't it be easier to just loop from 2 to n-1 (n = the number you are checking for prime) and to see if they divide it?
and no prime * prime is not prime
