Why Learn Data Structures

Posted by: WingedPanther in Untagged on Jan 03, 2009

One of the "odd" things that happens when you are taking CS courses is that you will be required to take a course on data structures. You will get to do wonderful things like implement a linked list, a binary tree, a stack, and a queue. After you spend months cramming all this stuff into your brain, you will then move on to the real world (TM) and start programming for your daily bread.

PuppyLinux

Posted by: ooisootuck in Untagged on Jan 03, 2009

Hi,

I came across another portable Linux distribution called PuppyLinux. It is different from Slax that I introduced previously as it runs on Xfce, not KDE. It is very modular as software could be added, changes could be saved on different media, including CDs and DVDs.

Feel free to visit at http://www.puppylinux.org and

What Every Student Needs To Learn

Posted by: WingedPanther in Untagged on Jan 01, 2009

Following up on Donovan's article, I thought I'd offer my take on what (US) students need to learn by certain grades.
1st grade) How to read and add/subtract single digit numbers
6th grade) long division, fractions, how to spell (by rote), able to do speed drills on all single digit arithmetic and double digit addition/subtraction.
9th grade) Algebra, chemistry, history, writing 5-page papers,

School Systems in America

Posted by: Donovan in Untagged on Dec 31, 2008

Does anyone else notice how bad the school systems are getting in America? If not you should really open your eyes and check to see what your kids are learning. The home school statistics for 1998 - 2008 are listed at http://www.educationcounts.govt.nz/statistics/majori_education/schooling/homeschooling/32587 it states that the amount of home schooled kids from 1998 - 2008 has increased by an

Programming in Kosovo

Posted by: MathXpert in Untagged on Dec 28, 2008

“PROGRAMMING” – for most of the youth in Kosovo this is an unknown word.
There are too many reasons for this phenomenon. Most of the Balkan countries are “one step back” comparing to Western Europe or US countries. The reason is simple: Balkan has had too many conflicts and wars in its history. While those countries spent most of their investments in weapons and army, other countries

Computerizing: friend or foe

Posted by: amrosama in Untagged on Dec 26, 2008

I’ve been thinking about programming from just one side, the good side till one day while working I found out that programming (or computerizing) makes people spend less time working and do less effort which will one day make the manager think:” why the hell am I paying them, they are just doing few clicks and hitting keys on a keyboard”. This will make employees get paid less and we the

PHP Security: Temporary File Names

Posted by: Jordan in Security, Programming, PHP on Dec 24, 2008

Temporary files may not seem that important, being just that: temporary. Applications need them for different reasons such as database query caches, incomplete version of a word document, files being uploaded, etc. Clever attackers can use them against you and/or your system by redirecting output, exposing different data than intended (which could be confidential data), hijacking sessions, and

DWITE 2

Posted by: chili5 in Untagged on Dec 23, 2008

On December 18th, I participated in my 3rd programming contest. I'm very happy to say that our team got three problems completed.

Problem 1 - ASCII Rhombus - we got 5/5
Problem 2 - Word Count - we got 4/5
Problem 3 - Unicorns and Teaspoons - we got 5/5
Problem 4 - Time for Change
Problem 5 - Now In 3D

After looking at the test day for problem 2, it was obvious as to why we lost the last test

I don't like the word "Teenager".

Posted by: Aereshaa in Untagged on Dec 21, 2008

So today I got thinking about the strange obsession our media has about "teens". No other subject seems to create as much worry as our "online safety", our "depression", our "anxiety", and so on. And yet, no word on any sort of cause other than "They're teens" "they don't think like adults" "they haven't matured". But still, let's check out the origin of the word "teenager".

Access Sucks

Posted by: WingedPanther in Untagged on Dec 18, 2008

Compared with both Oracle and SQL Server, Access is an absolute joke. The reason is because it was never intended to be an enterprise-class database. It was meant to be a support tool as part of the MS Office suite. It provides minor reporting, minor interfacing, and easy database design. It's a database for people who don't know how to use databases.

Here's where the problem comes: You are
