It's not that kids don't "GET" it, it's that kids don't care to learn it. Unless American babies are born severely retarded, the ONLY reason we are unable to match a rigorous schooling schedule like all the countries currently ranked higher than us is because of lack of discipline and laziness.

It's not Apples job to save the Foxconn employee's -- it's Foxconns. I bet you most of the people who are so upset about the "poor treatment" of the Foxconn employee's are the same people who are against any sort of health care reform. Everything you just used to communicate that message...

If they can teach a gorilla to do sign language, they can teach AMD_Gamer to program.

:p

Read again. Specifically the "See what I did there?". VERY specifically the part where I said "That argument is stupid." referring to the one I had just made. and LDU decomp*

Clear is subjective. I've played with code that has done LU factorization and decomp, so yes, it may be clear for me. On the same token -- mathematics written down in your definition of logic is not going to be 'in clear terms' for some.

Glad we're in agreement, then. Also, never once did I say I want to remove the subjects; those statements were in direct response to people claiming it is useless to learn programming in school because people who want to be x will never use it. Funny how you want a bunch of competent readers...

Boolean logic? The logical operators? If-else statements? Putting together a loop? Thinking through a program before you write it? If I do this.. then this will happen.. What doesn't resemble logic?

--> So you've doubled back on your statement and are now claiming that computer science in no way has any relation to learning a programming language? To say programming does not incorporate logic is like saying painting doesn't require paint.

Someone missed all the Apple sales records articles.

In many ways you remind me of George W. "Screw it, just give them a grade and let them through!". You're such a purveyor of statistics and credible sources yourself! Though I fail to see any reason what-so-ever that I need to provide statistics and credible sources when I made no statements...

What a silly argument. Gym class doesn't help people become electrical engineers. Art class doesn't help people become lawyers. History class doesn't help people become mechanics. See what I did there? That argument is stupid. They already teach the basics. Throw in some programming. Those...

Yes, I'd rather see half the nation fail out of high school than to see them all graduate and go into the work force being a bunch of blubbering idiots. It is not my fault that kids do not put in the effort to learn math or english. They're not difficult subjects by any stretch of the...

Shrug If idiots are going to fail, let the idiots fail. Just because there are people who are born lazy/uncaring/idiotic doesn't mean we shouldn't teach the material.

I agree, there should be mandatory programming classes.

No, I learned them in debate/philosophy. So.. a programming class, right?

So.. a programming class. Got it.

Like programming?

------> Uh huh I don't typically say thank you, but in this case, THANK YOU! :p

I'm willing to bet two goats and a cow you're a pretty terrible programmer.

You don't need to be destined for IT to learn the principles of logic. In fact, I think MANY would benefit from it.

Like teaching them to love Jesus. Nope -- K-8 was mandatory, but once you made it to Highschool you were required to only take two years of Math and two years of lab science.

Yes. We're a technology dependent country, and things are only getting more and more dependent. I also strongly feel Math should be a mandatory subject from k-12.

So what you're saying is a large portion of Android users need to use a superior platform, such as iOS? I agree.

You know how many artists actually went hungry because of this guy? I say he gets the chair.

This is TOTALLY the year that Linux makes it big!

4", to me, is the perfect screen size. I loved the screen size of my Galaxy S. Millions of Android users contract a trojan -- which as others in this thread have pointed out, is representative of their intelligence. Which people are retarded again?

2 years and absolutely nothing worthy of the title "competitor". "Imitators", lol Nice.

27k people just got brand new paperweights! Awesome!!!!!

Actually, from the sounds of it, millions of sheep just contracted a trojan using their Android devices because they were not "smart" enough to avoid it. While the iOS people continue to use their devices, without issue. "Stupid is as stupid does" - Some movie

Stop making sense, there are Apple users about and we need to make them feel bad about an issue that doesn't even apply to them.

Obviously it is better, otherwise this thread wouldn't have been called "Millions Caught Up In Android Botnet".

Your analogy doesn't work. You're comparing visiting rogue websites and shady random download locations to using a centralized app store. I would like to think the centralized app store has a higher degree of security than downloading apps from freeappsandpr0n.net.

Of course it is Even if apple offered people free gold, people will still side with android because they get the option of choosing three different kinds of shit.

I still would have bought my iPhone even if fifty Chinese babies died making it.

How is it a form of randomization? You perform well in a warzone, you get commendations. If you perform poorly, you don't get as many commendations. You trade them for tokens, which are then traded for gear. What is the problem here? Splinter is what we call a fanboy -- he's on his last rope...

Thanks, but unfortunately the tampon was designed for those who are 'wide set' and I am thus unable to make use of it. And thank you for agreeing. If you don't put in the effort: you don't get the goods. Remove randomization and have everyone rely strictly on farming commendations. Glad...
