Sort of a disappointment. But still a step forward.

Raspberry Pi

It's a great project being sponsored by Cambridge University. I myself will us this with an Arch Lxde setup. I eagerly await this. I will definitely purchase at least the $35.00 model and play with a LAMP server. BTW, I'm dual booting Ubuntu 11.10 and Windoze 7 right now. I'm soon going to play with a dedicated Arch system that It doesn't really matter if I brick it.

So you want people to be interested in computers?

If you do, stop making them so complicated. It started out with stuff like the C64 which was really simple but has evolved into what is is today: a mess of obfuscated drivers that don't even half-way capture the hardware's functionality. However, it think apple is doing the total hardware management right, they just have stupid fan drivers that don't even switch on when they're supposed to. As technology evolves into faster hardware, the software gets even more complicated leaving the next generation a random mess of 3d transistors and mucked up terminologies for parts that don't even do the same things as they were first meant for in the first place. Sure, the next generation might learn the programming languages, but they better damn sure learn the hardware too. /rant

Thoughts on S.O.P.A.

It sucks.

...And for the lulz:

Python

Oh why must there be two different versions? Why can't V3 be backwards compatible with V2.7? If Python V3 is the future, why is 2.7 more widely used?

#What about this too?
print "Why can't the be syntactic sugar?";
#At least we're still dynamicially typed and
#Require mandatory indentation :D

Long live 2.7, long live 3.1, and long live Python, Linux, Java, and BASH.

Update

The blog isn't dead as I am finished converting back to Windows form the lovely platform that is known as Linux. Oh, how I miss the non-existent program crashes. D: At least I still have my BFF's Firefox and MC. Oh well, It's a huge touch-screen, can't complain that much since I got it 100% new and cheap. Tried to remove most of the bloatware and I'm capable running at 90% user-started programs since Windows' DE is so freaking slow. But, 90% on this computer is faster then 150% on my last computer so I'm ok. However, this will be another story whenever I start programming. That will sure be fun. I have to actually go to a website and run the installer rather than the lovely "sudo apt-get install" command. Oh well. I guess I'll take Ubuntu, Slackware, Backtrack, or even Mint back once 11.10 comes out. (Natty Narwhal was too soon). Hopefully Linux for human beings will come to its senses and make feature freeze a little sooner next time.
