the other day on slashdot someone asked why you have to take all these other bs classes when you just want to learn how to be a computer programmer and today someone is asking why you don't learn anything else except how to program. maybe these two slashdot posters should get together and talk.:P
having a diploma may not mean a whole lot, BUT, it does show is that a person has the dedication and the ability to learn all of the subjects that are throwed at them.
have you ever met someone that ALL they know how to do is code or the like? it's scary.
even 300k Real or other compressed streams are not high quality...they are sacrificing lots of things. (sound quality included) sure, you can tell what it is that is being displayed, but definitely not something to watch a full-length movie at.
im not even mentioning this crap about streaming video over a 28.8 modem. hell, you can't even stream a decent sounding mp3 over a 28.8, and i don't think you can get much more compressed than mp3, without just destroying the music.
Take 100 random kids who all eat cheerios. The majority probably will either be prone to violence, stupid, or have something wrong with them as adults. Does this mean that cheerios causes these things? Hell nope.
This is not a cause-effect situation. Kids playing video games in childhood might be relative in some way to violence or stupidity in adulthood, but there are MANY more things to take into consideration.
This study can never be done properly, just like thousands of more BS studies you hear about having to do with psychology and the like....although it's amazing how many people will believe sh1t like this without even thinking about the legitimacy of it. (mainly old ppl/zealous religious ppl:P)
