| thafreak | Wow, 11 days and the newest server I own will have uptime of a year... | 05:01 |
|---|---|---|
| thafreak | explains the itch to go buy new hardware...haven't done it in a year :) | 05:01 |
| thafreak | <rant> | 17:37 |
| thafreak | So, there's this student...who's going to be a sophmore or is a sophmore | 17:37 |
| thafreak | and is supposedly a computer science major | 17:37 |
| thafreak | but "html" is the extent of her "programming" knowledge... | 17:38 |
| thafreak | WTF!?!?! | 17:38 |
| thafreak | </rant> | 17:38 |
| thafreak | What's wrong with kids these days... | 17:38 |
| thafreak | I was programming in elementary/middle school...nothing crazy, but still | 17:38 |
| thafreak | If you're not the type of person who at the very least, TRIES to learn some programming in k-12, why the HELL are you going into CS?!?!?! | 17:39 |
| thafreak | that's like some one who's going into electrical engineering, but never took anything electrical appart before being in college | 17:40 |
| thafreak | ok, so apparatnly I put the </rant> way too early | 17:40 |
| Unit193 | I'm not exactly into programming, only tinker a tiny bit in C, python, ruby, or whatever else it's written in, but I didn't plan on being in programming. :) | 17:48 |
| thafreak | are you a CS major in college? | 17:49 |
| Unit193 | Nope. | 17:52 |
| thafreak | then you're not the problem :) | 17:53 |
| thafreak | you're in HS aren't you? | 17:53 |
| Unit193 | I'm going into a computer related dept (IS, IT, whatever you like to call it), but not programming. | 17:54 |
| thafreak | Why can't all people going into college be like you | 17:57 |
| thafreak | plus you're in an IRC chatroom | 17:57 |
| thafreak | you're ahead of the curve | 17:57 |
| thafreak | probably 9/10 incoming CS freshman would give you a blank stare if you asked them what IRC was | 17:57 |
| Unit193 | Heh, got a blank look when I told someone they'd have to have a HDMI port on their laptop. | 17:58 |
| Unit193 | And yeah, that's just bad. | 18:00 |
| jandrusk | Wow | 18:03 |
| jandrusk | Kids these days. | 18:04 |
| Unit193 | Cheri703: You don't happen to be around do you? | 18:05 |
| thafreak | I can understand senior citizens not knowing what an hdmi port is, but I get frustrated when my wife forgets...she should know that, anyone under 60 should | 18:05 |
| thafreak | unless they don't own a tv | 18:05 |
| Cheri703 | for a little while longer | 18:05 |
| Unit193 | Ah, then maybe not. Major computer issues, and was wondering if you had hints, but don't want to tie you up. | 18:07 |
| Cheri703 | I have about 10 minutes | 18:07 |
| Unit193 | Basically, windows partition went missing after a bad stint with a partitiontool+bootrec (latter really killed it), so I'm trying to hunt it down with testddisk. | 18:08 |
| Unit193 | -d | 18:08 |
| Cheri703 | ew, good luck! | 18:17 |
| Cheri703 | I used "partition find and mount" in the past with some success, iirc it is for windows | 18:17 |
| Unit193 | Heh, thanks, I'll really need it. | 18:17 |
| Unit193 | Yep, but can't boot windows since that's the lost partition. :P | 18:18 |
| Cheri703 | any other computer? | 18:18 |
| Unit193 | No, not windows. | 18:18 |
| Cheri703 | alright, off to work. good luck | 18:21 |
| Unit193 | Don't kill people! | 18:22 |
