First, a study showing that piracy has a negligable effect on profits and now this? I officially decree today to be the day of "No shit" Stories!

More pictures of post-teenage angst, unfunny cat pictures, and no-talent someecards and instagram! Thank you, facebook! Thank you for fueling the mass intelligence massacre of the second decade of the 21st century!

It sure is a *fine* story!

From my understanding of TFA, it's not official legislation yet. Honestly, I don't see this going through, so calm down, title!

So what? How does this really help us? I realize that the same question could be posed for quite a few of these articles, but I really don't see the point. It's just self-applauding, if you ask me. *expects plenty of -1 Flamebaits and -1 Trolls* Oh well; I tried getting my idea across.

I just murdered two CEOs after reading that.

For web development, I would absolutely agree. However, if they're not going into web development, then Javascript is a great place to start. I actually started out programming last January (2012) with Codecademy, and learned quite a bit about programming as a whole. I didn't bother with HTML, but with what I learned through Codecademy and Javascript, learning other languages isn't as hard as it would be otherwise.

The only reason why I clicked on this story is because the guy's last name is Bacon.

We use a combination of Last Name, First initial, and Student ID number. Basically, it looks something like: DoeJ123456@college.edu. The Student ID ensures that there will be no conflicts.

I wonder if this story is going... to go viral. *is shot*

I know it's kinda pointless to respond to an AC, but I'll do it anyways. The two main reasons for us switching to Linux is for system stability and low system requirements. Both computers are running Linux Mint. My laptop can't really run XP at all, since it keeps trying to use the crapped-out graphics card in it, causing it to crash after about five minutes (it's hardwired to the MB, so there's no choice in replacing; besides, we don't really have the money for another computer in the first place). The desktop computer hasn't crashed at all with Mint, whereas it had a tendency to crash quite often with XP. All that aside, though, I've gotta start somewhere. To me, it seems better to actually use the OS first like a normal person would for a while and learn about the underlying parts afterward than read a book first, then go into it.

Sicne I've finally convinced my family to run Linux on both computers (only Windows before), it's about time for me to learn Linux. I've used his Learn Python the Hard Way before, and it was a great book. Definitely looking forward to this!

*insert pun about the tank being a sham here*

It's still a piss-poor procedure when compared to this!
