I'm not sure that people want/use as much web apps as you think. Most of the web is still "documents", and if you want an browser adapted for webapps, then use prism ( http://prism.mozilla.com/ )

Then it wouldn't be the browser as we know it. The browsers are misused because originally they were a document viewing system.

Actually it's far from simple. Do you find the back button easy to use ? And, speaking of applications, I don't think that the webapp is a better methaphor than the desktop app.

It's amusing because I don't write like this at all. Instead, I sit in front of my computer and refactor until I'm satisfied with the result.

Yes, but calling somebody a "hacker" is completely subjective, contrary to a doctor for instance. And somebody's hacker is someone else's noob.

Does it really matter to be a hacker or not ? - or rather, to be called a "hacker".

Not necessarily. I'm sure that an emulator differs in some subtle ways from a real machine.

Well, Java has his problems too. I'd suggest learning C and then switching to a real object language (for instance io - http://www.iolanguage.com/ ) Do you want to learn those languages for your career or just for yourself ?

I don't know whether geekcorps is still active, however, you should be more lucky with the Lion's Club International, which organizes similar projects : http://www.lionsclubs.org/

And don't forget numpy/scipy for numerical computation and nodebox for plotting ( http://www.nodebox.net ) which are extremely convenient libraries.

The problem with your approach is that you separate creative and non-creative persons. And everyone could be creative, if given the chance.

This is not a problem for a webapp. Or is it ?

Are we really defined by the tools we use ?

No qt is the reason. qt is well designed and thought, contrary to gtk. And it's not because qt was written in C++.

Given its market share, I don't think that Google could be replaced ; instead - if it happens - it would be rendered obsolete by a new paradigm for finding data.

Actually, I think that spending some time cooking is a good distraction, and breaks are good for productivity.
