Real programmers create powerful software. The "how" is meaningless.

One answer to their knack for deleting valid content is to simply NEVER donate to them, encourage every single person you know to do the same, and let wikipedia know you are doing this and why. This is what I have done.

Has anyone heard anything positive or negative about Penn Foster College?

Your profile says you are 20 and you have concluded that you are too old for that "shit"? A. You are not too old. B. The problem is your attitude. You just referred to programming as "shit". Your tone implies you are referring to something

Well, you did specify "online" but what got me out of a very similar rut is . . . reading good books. I read on my machine 99% of the time, and I even use the browser to read said books quite often :)

I would love to read pg's thoughts on this question. Actually, I would love to read more of pg's thoughts on Ruby, what I have read of his thoughts on it has been brief yet highly positive.

I see . . . ok, try craigslist and other analogous free ad places. Be upfront, say to readers that if they have hardware laying around that is not being used, or are considering/about to throw out some hardware, that you will take it off th

I second this suggestion.

If you know how to build/install/repair/maintain windoze boxes, I say go for it and advertise yourself. You MIGHT just end up running into a user that wants to throw out a system that simply needs to have the HDD formatted - I have seen it

Oh absolutely, the machine I am on now (soon to be old machine) runs an AMD CPU, with an SIS chipset (not the greatest for GNU/Linux) yet I was diligent, and . . . it works! Have been running Feisty Fawn for almost a year, no major problems

From my own experience as a GNU/Linux NOOB, I believe that if you research the hardware and the distro you want to run in relation to that hardware BEFORE you purchase, you will be fine. Sticking to the Intel chipsets (as I believe Linus hi

Wait a minute, why do you accuse the poster of flamebaiting? I just read all his posts - he's speaking his mind using logic. Please quote him on what you consider flamebait within his posts, otherwise YOU are the one flaming now . . .

I think that part of his point, which he has failed to articulate, is that future programmers need to undergo the inherent rigor of low level programming so as to build the mental muscle - so to speak - needed to solve highly complex probl

Thank you, I am relieved that someone pointed that out, I was kind of worried, I mean, this is a site for HACKERS after all . . .

ESR also recommends learning XHTML before taking on programming, saying it can teach a person certain mental habits. This fellow however, enumerates those mental habits quite well and accurately, based on my own learning experiences anyway.

I do not want to be a rockstar - or a ninja . . . I stay away from those types of ads, although I probably should take a closer look as other posters have suggested. If we are going to get into that naming territory, I think Wizard or Sourc

I find it encouraging that (as is often the case) pg's thoughts and ideas resonate with my own - bigtime. 4, 5, 7, 19, 21, and 27. Thank you for yet another stimulating and encouraging read pg. I look forward to getting to the point where I

Hooray This SERIOUSLY made my day. Wish I could buy him a beer, dinner, a "massage" ;) at one of the local places (it's legal here) if he is so inclined, a big bag of chips AND a big bottle of Mountain Dew . . . I salute the man.

You still haven't quoted me. It all comes down to that: you insist that my posts state something they do not, and I insist that you back up what you are saying by quoting my posts. Now, if I had MEANT (and yet not precisely written) what yo

Yeah ok man, I have a chip on my shoulder for stating what I perceive and asking that you quote me after you replied to my post as if it stated something that it simply did not state. Come on bud, get real.
