What gets me, is that I bought a hard drive that was labelled 120GB. Now barring all the binary and base 10 speak, it seems logical that when I do a right-click and choose properties on my winbox that it read 120GB capacity. However, mine says 113GB capacity. No matter what number base it is measured in, I believe it should say 120GB. Whether I am actually getting ripped off or not is not the issue. The issue stems from the fact that I FEEL like I am getting ripped off. It seems dishonest somehow for their to be such a large discrepancy in sizes. I mean this gives the appearance that 7GB is missing. That is more than 70 times what my first hard drive was.
So, to beat my point comletely to death... Whether or not I am being cheated is not the issue. It is the feeling of being cheated.
The school I went to started off with the first two classes being taught in Java, the third class taught in C, and every class after that being taught in C++ with a smattering of Java.
I have no idea what they were thinking. To me the first two classes should have been taught in C/C++ and the middle 'Data Structures' or 'DataBase' type courses should be taught in Java/C++. With the capstone Software Engineering courses taught in C++ and any 'Systems/Networking' courses taught in C.
It was a shock in the middle/upper level classes at first since up to that point we had been 'working with gloves' on so to speak.
