WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WPC 30K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I would participate ;-)

I'm sure you would. The problem would be that not many people have a good grounding in science to begin with. I've seen too many polls where people didn't know that Earth rotated every 24 hours or that the Earth orbited the sun every 365 days....

I'd hope that people on here wouldn't be that bad but not many people understand basic concepts and I wouldn't want it to turn into arguments that most people, including me, don't have enough understanding to really argue with.

That's always a danger in this area. People can get very emotional over science.
 
Re: WPC 30K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I'd like to learn programming, but the only school I know doesn't offer courses in Basel. I could join the informatics students next semester, but the basic course is 6 hours including exercises, and I can't afford that much time.

True, many fields in science would be nothing but stress, you'd think that there would be panic over somethings that have been uncovered in science

I'd like to learn programming as well. I have the same issue that I have no idea where a course is. Lots of people say just do it but I find formal training would be nice so you can ask questions.

Not sure I'm understanding your statement.... ?

Isn't that odd, programming is something I wouldn't mind doing, i am with a group of people who are helping people within my age group learn programming, but we haven't gotten into the stuff that I've wanted to go into yet. :\

Part of the reason I want to take lessons. There's a certain pace set. Of course you get those people who fall behind but you'd hope that most there want to learn.

I wish I had Black to let you know if I was having issues. :P

Going over things you know already can be boring. I do my best not to see it as a negative and see if there's something I may have missed. :) Not always easy!
 
Re: WPC 30K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

What im wrong? :S:S:S

No. You're not wrong. :P I was just saying there will always be people disagreeing with each other over minute detail. You proved my point. :P

Well technically as most people understand it you're not wrong, however it's a bit more complex than 1/4.... :P

My 1520's battery life hasn't been nearly as impressive as my 520 was.
