Yeah I don’t have the permissions to post it. It would be awesome if you could post it for me =)

Hey cool post.
I personally like web apps, simply because it doesn’t take up space on the hard drive. The biggest problem I have with them is that for the most part they don’t work without an internet connection.

Just one correction, I didn’t notice any others, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there aren’t any “kingdoms and their wasn’t these huge platforms” Should say “there weren’t” (two words changed)

I noticed this same post on The Teen Geek, although it’s “pending”. Is that because you wanted to check it through more, or because you don’t have permissions to post it without it being checked? If it’s the latter, do you want me to add some tags and a category to it, and then post it for you?

Comment on Rants About School by Ziaix

My school did that as well. All the clubs were for very specific groups, and stuff like the magazine club they did sucked because 1) they never used anything we wrote, and 2) the magazine was rubbish and useless.

They did a computing club, but the technicality running it was never really around (He was great, but damn paranoid - spied on people using the computers for games )

But the educations systems atm seem to be a total mess. They’re all teaching stuff way below what we could be learning with a good education system.

Wow! Macs only for graphic design!?
My school got a Mac lab last year, and they were used by the Design Technology (DT) and Art departments mostly, but there was no specific rule about it. The school also got a new Music lab this year, which has Macs in it. It makes it a lot easier for me when I’m doing my composition, although they didn’t set the network up in QUITE the same way as on the Windows computers. For some reason, if I save it to My Documents on Windows, it’s not available on the Macs, and vice versa. I can get around this by saving it in a more public place.
As for the computer club, my school used to have one of those, and it was really good. We did some stuff on networking, and programming, but unfortunately most of it was just looking inside of computers (which is very fun at first, but gets boring after a while lol). One time, we even installed various distros of Linux on the school’s “Laptop Room” computers (a room with laptops in it, being used in much the same way as any desktop), which have now been replaced, because they were terrible computers.
Unfortunately, that club was cancelled, and replaced with “StarCraft” Club. YUK!

Holy crap! AI with the mind of a 6 year-old. Interesting.
I wonder if the programmers working on the AI make a class which let’s the AI make it’s own variables.

I was actually reading on Engadget around a year ago now that they’ve got AI on par with a 6 year old or something o.O.
They’ve also made other things like robots that can play football.
All I know is that I’d hate to be one of the programmers for people working on AI… SO MANY VARIABLES…

@Thomas
Oh, I actually find that very well done on Google’s part. I think it’s a really simple and neat way of doing some pretty advanced, complicated, things.

By ‘messy’ I mean in the Waves it can get messy to look like because of random blips in the middle of other blips.

Yeh, I’d have to agree. It’s much cooler and more efficient to use. But it gets messy very quickly. In my inbox I only have 11 waves, including 4 from doctor wave, but already it’s feeling very messy.

I agree the interface is really clean and tidy, but the do get messy, and it breaks down a lot. It will be really helpful for collab projects, and messaging in a style halfway between forums and IM/e-mail
