No, you'll be fine. You're just jumping in head first. I would suggest Python as it's a lot cleaner/elegant and of similar power. You are just starting out with a stick shift instead of an automatic.
It can be both ways. For most people, a command line is either too much power or too confusing, and a GUI is all they need. They dont care about wget or [insert ftp client here], they want to click a link then click save. Moving files? Renaming them? Listing a directory's contents? WTF is a directory? On the other hand, most slashdotters are more advanced users who can handle having everything at their fingertips and are more productive that way as a result.
Blaspheme! Dare you soil the name of vim! Even emacs deserves better than this you unbelieving pagan. Go back to the abyss from whence you came, spawn of evil!
On a more serious note, I liked IDEs much more than simply editors until I used a serious editor. I started with emacs but soon gravitated to vim, the choice is unimportant however. A properly configured vim or emacs can be 10x as productive as anything a traditional IDE can offer, much parallel to the comparisons between the command line and the GUI.
Me too!!! Uphill both ways, I know how you feel. Of course, we had to feel out the morse code in the wires by holding it between our teeth and waiting for a shock, no fancy lights or whatnot. AND WE LIKED IT!
Even growing up in the states it sounds funny. Some more funny names are Indian derived names like 'Chattahoochee' or 'Apalachicola'. And I grew up in Georgia where these are commonplace!
Even more stupid is when people really think it's a big deal. Who cares if they change the official time or not? People just use this and other trivial things as a reason to get off WoW and bash USA, Canada, [insert target country here]
Actually no. It does, however, prove that Americans like me are overweight. How fat would you feel when you realize you weight millions of times more than your car?
Tux gets the call of the wild (simply yells 'LINUX, HO!') and immediately all self respecting nerds in the surrounding territory rally behind him, whilst bickering about petty thing amongst themselves enough to drive anyone mad. (and absorb mana too once you reach level III!)
Yeah, I guess it was. However, programmers was plural, so it should be programmers'. Being pedantic without being a spelling r grammar nazi can actually be helpful!
A supernatural creature of Scandinavian folklore, variously portrayed as a friendly or mischievous dwarf or as a giant, that lives in caves, in the hills, or under bridges.
I get it! So a troll is either good or bad, and either big or small. Thanks, that clears a lot up.
Train systems, like mass transit in general, exhibits its benefit when its USED, like a turbine engine. Sure, a single passenger in a buss is more polluting than a car. In the US, Amtrak is... all most people have and it isn't that great. One of the Few things i admire about Europe is their mass use of train systems, they are very reliable, fast, efficient, and overall a good solution to mass transit problems.
You had me until the 'capitalist' part. Chinese have so few freedoms, and businesses are no exception. I researched them for a human right project last year and, while there are many successful businesses in China, it happens falsely most of the time with heavy government interference. Without it much of their economy would crumble. Most of the big names in Chinese business are at least partially government owned or run. While they are not entirely 1984, i wouldn't go so far as to call them capitalism either, I'd rather not soil that name.
It does help that you wont have to upgrade it for a long time. Hell, i have a friend that's still running on a geforce 2 mx and he can run most modern games, albeit on minimum settings. Until just recently we felt little need to upgrade it.
The Internet is(was) doing absolutely fine. The only reason it will bork is if they (the UN, and the EU to a lesser extent) get greedy and start interfering, yet they are to fscking blind to see it. The Internet WAS an American creation, and its not like our government has any direct control over it. They just want attention, and they are creating a problem to make the US look bad and make them look like the saviors on the international scene. The UN cant do politics right, it stagnates. What makes them so bold as to think they can administrate a massive global network?
I have always liked the Artistic License, it is very business friendly. I think that, for many cases, it is just the right balance of freedom and control.
People also seem to forget that regime change in Iraq was US policy since Clinton. Bush did *not* have to ask Congress for permission as he would only have been carrying out our laws. I think hed did the right thing in getting Congress' permission however, and simply hating the US for being different is wrong, as is hating anything, including the EU or the UN. Disliking the US for specific purposes is ok, but generalized hate of all things American is wrong. However, before anyone bites me, most people who criticize the UN don't do it because its different, but because they believe it is wrong.

Yeah. Java? nearly as fast as C or C++?
Most. Painfully. Ignorantly. Sun sponsored. Comment.
EVAR.

Where the heck did you fing FreeBSD 7?!? Link a torrent, even their site says 5.4 is current and 6 is upcoming. You've got the source my friend.
Then they are already in the top 1% for design, truly an accomplishment in a day and age when design like myspace is acceptable. **shudders**
Yes my son, thats what we call 'dedication' in the workplace. Don't they teach you kids anything useful these days?
A hideous skin too. And it just doesnt feel right.
