[QUOTE="brandontwb"]I'm talking about consciousness. Do you need to grow or reproduce to be alive? brandontwb

Since nobody really understands what gives us consciousness, it's kind of hard to answer. Who knows, maybe we are just coded to think we are conscious.

Life is pretty much the ability to reproduce (not just sex, but divide cells etc.).

No, they shouldn't be looking this bad.

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"] I've got myself a university textbook on game development, and a PDF teaching me how to learn C++, but I hate learning such basic commands that it feels like i'm accomplishing nothing :(

A foundation is always the most boring part, but you can't build your house without it.

[QUOTE="Darkalfx"][QUOTE="xfactor19990"]So guys is Java a good language to know?Wasdie

Well if you can program in Java you will learn the basics of object oriented programming and basic, rational programming. If you know those, adapting to other, widely used languages isn't that difficult.

Simple huh?

How about you write me some sockets in C and encode them with a special algorithm and send a string of 1 million numbers between 3 servers, encyrpted, and decrypt them, and then seive out all of the primes.

Good god... the horror... THE HORROR!!!

As for Computer Science being terrible. It depends. It's taught terribly, but in practice it's a ton of fun, like a big brain teaser. They teach you syntax instead of logic, when honestly syntax is a google search away, but the actual logic can take you days/weeks to figure out. I find programming rather easy, it's the actual problem solving thats difficult. It's also impractical. In college you're writing complete programs alone, while in the real world that would rarely happen. You would most likely be working on certain aspects of functionality.

Yeah, I hate computer programing too. I had to take a class in basic computer programing last semester and I did terribly. It's just one of those things I can't wrap my head around.

Sounds like programming is too hard for you. Which is great. It means that your one less person getting into my profession, less competition for programming jobs.Diablo-B

Programming isn't about the languages at all. It's about the logical flow of things. If your good at that, then a company couldn't care less if you know the language you use or not, because thats not whats important. You can learn that fast as long as you know how to code. so.. obviously, you can't do logical flow well. I LOVE programming, it's so relaxing.. it's creative, and it has infinite possibilities. fastr

Well they're not the girl scouts new method of selling cookies. I mean, if they're not aliens, what other explanation is there for them? They're certainly things humans couldn't make. That one that floats above Jerusalem and then shoots off instantaneously at incredible speed. Thats just not explainable really.
