Because it looks better? Are you retarded?

Counterpoint: I quit my last job because I got offered a great opportunity. My boss was awesome.

I took his lessons, and read a bunch of other resources like a mother fucker to get a good grade and I learned a lot. That was the point and I think for a self motivated learner who is willing to search out sources it was a good class.

I learned a lot so I guess, no?

I thought his whimsical attitude and passion for teaching were amazing and I learned a lot for zero dollars. I'd easily pay 100 bucks to have him teach me more stuff.

You're kidding right?

looks like you're both retarded

Let me get this straight because you're being kind of an ambiguous, which combined with your absolutist attitude, makes you a dick.

Please tell me you have examined the curriculum of all computer science departments, worldwide, and made your determination that way?

Actually I find that Computer Science is one of the most narrow disciplines.

I disagree; having any sort of thorough knowledge about computers requires at least some education from almost all parts of the STEM curricula. Any person who actually gives a shit about computers should know (with at least some rudimentary level of competency) a whole spectrum of things from semiconductor theory to abstract models of computation. The set of sciences and fields of mathematics you need to now master to have a solid understanding of the operation of a computer is mind boggling.

I'd toss a few hundred at a kickstarter, especially if at the end I could get a non-active piece of the containment vessel or something.

Subject says it all. Thanks for taking the time to thoroughly answer the questions.

Better check again, the long flabby arm of the law now operates antiaircraft systems. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2011/09/manhattans-real-anti-aircraft-battery-stinger-missiles/43062/

I think it's incredibly naïve to believe that we can, in one atomic action, rip out and replace tcp/ip (or whatever other technology) with something that is "better" for whatever value of the word "better" you assign it to have. An incredible amount of work and research has gone into making things work the way that they do, and not only do they work pretty well, but upgrading them to fix issues like this buffer bloat thing is not some Manhattan Project-esque undertaking, like reengineering the internet would be.

Why mustang? I can see crown victoria but not mustang.
