I'm reminded of the saying, "Do stateways change folkways or do folkways change stateways?"
This is probably a bastardization of the quote, whose author is now lost to me, but there ya go.
Okay, I didn't mean they were "fake." I just meant they were unwieldy, in my experience, for writing something like a web browser or some other major desktop app. I wholeheartedly support shell scripting! It's very important.
I still mean to say that you need to know what you are looking to write before you go choosing a language. Certain languages are suited to some things and not others.
That is the first question you should ask yourself, actually.;)
One thing you might learn, from a tinkering-with-Linux point-of-view, is shell scripts. Surprised no one mentioned them yet. They aren't really "programming" in the sense of creating apps, but they are fun and a cool part of Linux.
Yes, the books are very good. I love them, all of them, better than any of the movies.
A major reason that I like Star Wars is the sense of wholeness in the politics and atomosphere (Though speaking of which there is NO SOUND IN SPACE) that was drawn up by Lucas, and consequently written so effectively by authors such as Michael A. Stackpole.
Throughout the movies, though, that sense is maintained for a good portion of them, although there is a definite sense of "shiny" modernism to the first three episodes that doesn't completely fit the later films and the continuation novels.
Ah, I tried it this year...Too bad our team was totally incompetent. I enjoyed the problem-solving a lot, although I missed the satisfaction of being able to accomplish something.
I am not doing it next year, I have really no way to get a team together. Too bad!
I think some people really go out of their way to write these things, but comic relief is always welcome in the computer society.;)
On a similar note, dead hard drives make good paperweights, and everyone knows Windows CDs make good coasters, and shrinkwrap presents a choking hazard to pets and children under 5, and and you can always tangle cords up to make large balls, rope, chains or whips or whatever. Manuals for miscellaneous programming languages are recyclable, CRTs can make effective anti-electronic equipment electron guns and goodness knows what people will think up for uses for a dead speaker...
Right, don't look for a chicken hatching out of a duck's egg, you know?
I personally don't mind the sequel bit, the first one was too hard for me because I never got time off from the hard 1P mode to play against my friends and learn new skills.

Next they'll be asking us if pictures of our homes are okay.
Stupid typo - 'no effect'.....
FTFY
"Dire affect"? Like someone's expression is really serious or something?

Now I don't know about any of you but are all the images missing on the site?? All the pages are missing too.

Yep, website is absurd, but I will probably get the game. I love Metroid Prome, and multiplayer will make my day.
..something to the effect of "If Micro$oft made cars..."
is "Crt+Alt+Del". Okay, not really. But that would be awful funny if it were...
