The Eternal Thread #79: I'm a parakeet *beep*

[The Emerald Dawn]

Oh god Solaris.... I remember learning that system on the Sun platforms. It was Unix-lite.

unix lite?

its bsd V

Are we really going to get into Berkley vs Unix?

It's like British English vice American English. Yes, there are superficial differences, and a few humourous deviations, but we're talking about two branches on the same tree.

<-> Whooo boy, good luck with that one. What's the degree your going for? Political science? :0

History, actually. I just refuse to allow the human element to be removed from the hindsight of history.

Ah, I see. That's awesome. I wish you the best on that one. :3 What do you intend to do with the degree?

[Ethel mermania]

and weirdly enough, i am a little jealous of you.

how so?

i enjoyed school. the pressure to pay the mortgage and be a parent is fun and a pain. and i have a challenging and interesting job

[Wind in the Willows]

I really like this song.

[Katyuscha]

Make it cry.

I'd need to give it sentience first. I can't even get it to perform a basic task right now. I bet it's something really small I'm overlooking. The code looks good. Don't understand why it's not working.

I've never really been good at computers.

My goal is to teach. I want to teach at a high level, I want to teach that what these idiot blind children believe to be "Hard Truth" is not anything of the sort. I want to watch as the light pops on in their little eyes and their shallow worldview lies in ruins around the soles of their feet. I want to turn Christopher Columbus into a pariah. I want to show them how to dig for the gory details of their former heroes as they despair at the unrelenting horror that is mankind's past.

And I want to teach them to love it.

most video, and graphic design shops i know prefer macs.

Their money down the drain, because Windows machines can do the same job for cheaper. Here's a list of video editing software. Notice how almost every single program on the list except for IMovie and FinalcutPro isn't MacOS exclusive. So unless you're using either of the Final Cut programs or IMovie (Not sure why you would want to use Imovie) There's no reason to get a Mac as you can get a Windows (Or in some cases Linux) machine that can be just as powerful for a lot less. And that's not even going into the fact that a lot of other major programs can't run on Windows. For the longest time Major companies like Autodesk didn't have any of their software run on Macs, and even now Autodesk's big programs like 3Ds Max are still Windows Exclusive.

what can i tell you the guys i know who do it for a living prefer macs.

autodesk is a drating app.

I'm too good for my own good. Spending my free time working on systems I've designed isn't my idea of fun. My own fault for thinking I could easily implement a new feature.

KoRn are awesome.

Bah! Humbug!

I hope to be the kind of professor that makes classwork worth doing, rather than deadspace in the learning. That's why I want to do higher learning, so I can design the coursework with *less* outside interference.

Can't say I agree.

columus already is a pariah, and i see him as a man of his times, not a man above his time.

Well, that is your opinion.

And yet, we just celebrated a day dedicated to him in the US.

Wait...the US, celebrating slave trade and unrepentant greed and genocide?

Why should I be shocked.

Naturally.

Yup.

Yeah, that's the best kind of professor. You'll have to let me know where you end up teaching. I'll have to stalk you down and learn from you.

Once I get hired somewhere, I'm sure NSG will be able to hear the celebration party quite clearly.

KoRn are awesome.

I haven't heard a song from them that i haven't liked.

I haven't heard many, but it still counts.
