Comment Re:School is worthless... (Score 0) 309

As a guy with a degree in Computer Science and several friends with Law degrees, you are completely wrong. I had a job offer the day I graduated with the company I had a (paid) internship with. My lawyer friends on the other hand, one works for the state for pennies, and several were out of work their first year out of law school. Many of them were spending their time volunteering because that's what they needed to do to make good impressions at interviews. One has now resorted to trying to set up his own practice which has a whole set of it's own challenges (he is starting his own business after all). He likely won't be paid what everyone thinks lawyers make for years if he is even successful at finding clients at all.

Comment Learning math helps you learn to solve problems (Score 0) 1086

Learning math helps you learn to solve problems, so no I don't use calculus every day, but I do solve problems every day. Discrete Math, Calculus, and Physics in my opinion are some of the most important courses a software engineer can take. Programming languages are easy to learn, problem solving abilities come from LOTS of practice.

Comment Re:Worry about the old phones (Score 1) 101

PRETTY sure he isn't demanding anything. If he was (like me) coming from an iPhone to an android phone, then yes software updates are expected. When they don't come of course you are going to be disappointed. I was promised a software update to my phone "within the next couple months" when I bought it. It came with 2.2, by time I got 2.3 NINE MONTHS LATER 4.0 was already out. I went back to my 3gs iphone. It's over 3 years old and running the latest iOS just fine. It actually works better than my year old android phone. Oh, and every app doesn't install unnecessary battery draining/resource hogging services that start up automatically every time I launch the app and don't close when I close the app.
