No ^D is EOF.
^C sends SIGINT to the current process.

Oh.
Oh, it suddenly makes sense.

Interesting, where do ya'll live?
Our college did that recently too
Nah, who gives a shit about that. Use ^G and listen to that awesum beep :P

My PC doesn't make the clearest PC speaker beep as well - it's a sort of noisy sound.
My teacher started at MS Word, then Turtle graphics. Then my school can't afford CS teachers, and now I'm hooping they will start to teach us real programing or atleast something like HTML (even tho I already know it). But I saw another class writing QBasic too :( . So now I think I should just teach myself programing.

If you don't mind being pretty much the only one asking english questions, I'd suggest [url=http://www.coolbasic.com/]CoolBasic[/url]. Most of the community is Finnish and I'm banned from the forums as is, but you can go ask on the forums for an english version of the manual (I recall there was one somewhere) and just start writing small games.
More info on the page & forums.
[QUOTE=Chris220;24938899]With programming, you can be faster than someone who can only type fast, providing you make good use of keyboard shortcuts
Like shift+home or shift+end to select a whole line, and some editors have ctrl+D or something to duplicate lines as well
Of course, utilising those well as WELL as typing fast is great[/QUOTE]
Thats the whole idea behind vi(m).
Taking my hands off the keyboard to use the mouse is frustrating.
[QUOTE=turb_;24935130]I see no point learning to type faster, since I can't think that fast anyway.[/QUOTE]Never thought of it like that. :P

Dude, why are you complaining?
[QUOTE=Nipa;24935397]I type at a fairly average speed of 110 WPM, but my peak has been 130 WPM. It hasn't all been all that difficult for me - I just picked it up and now I have people asking me how I learnt to type that fast. I blame my obsessive GMod playing (the last 4 years).[/QUOTE]
I go that fast, not hard to believe.
Also, not really programming related, but I can't believe my tech teacher thinks that the PSU is the fan, and that a Terabyte is 1,000,000 Gigabytes. :frown:
[QUOTE=Zally13;24952774]I can't believe my tech teacher thinks that [...] a Terabyte is 1,000 Gigabytes. :frown:[/QUOTE]
Strictly speaking, it is. The unit of 1024 gigabytes is mis-using the "tera-" prefix.
[QUOTE=Zally13;24952774]and that a Terabyte is 1,000 Gigabytes. :frown:[/QUOTE]
As Wyzard said, it is.
You're thinking of a Tibibyte.
I meant 1,000,000. A million, not a thousand, sorry.
Bytes should be on the unit of measurements
I wish these measurements would stay consistent for a few minutes so I could get around to learning them >:C
[QUOTE=turb_;24945834]Dude, why are you complaining?[/QUOTE]
Because it was boring. I had to draw a whole castle by typing <:( , besides there is just no reason to learn it. I guess it's sorta similar to HTML5 <canvas> tho...

Turtle Graphics is the best shit ever.

IDK, I might attempt to make a Turtle interpreter sometime.

Fuk da si.
Base16 is genetically superior to base10. Most people are too simple minded to realize it.
I learned Turtle Graphics from Kindergarten to Third Grade. I was in a private school, and that shit was nostalgia.

Yay, our instructor was reasonable and told me that you could do the labs in any language(the rest of the class is doing them in scratch). Sadly there is a lab that uses that fucking picoboard so I do have to do 1 lab in scratch.

Humans think in decimal because we learned by counting on our fingers, but I'll bet that if we started teaching kids hex in kindergarten, they'd grow up using it as naturally as we use decimal.
Then we could start using it on public signage, like speed limits on roads. It'd be a big transition, sure, but most of the world has managed the switch to metric...
Except America. Slow fuckers, the Metric system is so much better..

Nonsense. 16 ounces in a pound makes so much more sense than grams and shit.
Same with 8floz in a cup, 16floz in a pint, 128floz in a gallon. It all makes perfect sense in binary.
All we really need to do is change a foot to be 16 inches and we're set.
And a mile should be 1024 of the new 16 inch foot. (0x400).
So with some minor adjustments the US system would be the perfect binary measurement system.
Don't think of 16 as being 16, think of it as 0x10. The math would be just as easy, we'd just have sixteen symbols for digits instead of ten.
I think your on to something there

Yep, 0x10/0x100/0x1000 is very simple and easy to follow.
