Are there no goddamn PSU manufacturers out there who can make a PSU that isn't this ridiculously idiotic?!?
Are there any bottom-venting EXTREMELY QUIET PSUs that don't cost am absurd amount of money and don't have major and incredibly stupid defects? I'm hoping that the noise goes away, but if it doesn't, I might as well try another brand.

Uh... this isn't always true. A person that practices writing can equal or exceed typing speed. The reason typing is prevalently more efficient is simply because more people use it. I doubt very many people under 18 can even write in cursive, so it's no surprise their typing speed would be faster than writing.
Agreed. In fact, the Palmer method of cursive, sadly not taught in schools anymore, was supposed to be able to keep up with typewriters and possibly exceed them.
Schools don't normally allow for the use of electronic devices during work time outside a computer lab.
There are many obvious reasons why. Kids will play games, browse the internet, and text on their phones if a teacher for some reason lets them have it out (under the pretense that they are "taking notes on it", perhaps?)
This has changed so much. Many electronic policies have changed to let kids have their phones out, bring tablets, and some schools even buy iPads for classes. Your idea is in good intention, but many schools have realized the threat of kids texting and playing games is not as big as they thought.
As well, an internet browser would be good to have on an electronic device. It would allow students to pull outside information to use in debates or assignments.
I don't think that's entirely true. To put it your 'terms' why go fine dining when you only want a quick burger?
TheNewBoston is pretty basic on the tutorials he tells you want you need to know and that is great for beginners. Yes, I'll grant that he isn't the right choice for advanced programmers but for beginners I think he's the best choice.
You learn absolutely nothing by TheNewBoston that actually teaches you to program. Sure, he can show me how to create an object, or create a for loop, but why? Why do I need an object? When do I use a for loop or a while loop? Those are just two basic concepts. If you are going to be taught about ideas like those, you need to know their significance in how they will be used in your program. He's also incredibly slow. Heads First Java is a far better alternative to TheNewBoston.
Well you're the first I've met. Their "tutorials" are written like a college paper and I didn't even want to read them even when I actually understood what they're talking about, good luck getting a novice to read them.
In fact Java's entire documentation is a giant snooze fest to read and completely awkward to go through.
I wouldn't say their awkward nor perfect, but for learning various abilities of java, they work fine. They certainly won't teach you how to program though, just the language.
I'm still confused by what makes a program more optimized. If it's more organized or if there are less lines and such, does that make it more optimized
Generally it comes down to taking more intensive tasks and finding ways to either replace them with ones less intensive or more quick, or modifying those tasks. This could be unrolling a loop or changing different data structures, etc. Cleaner code makes optimizations quicker, and so can less lines, but only to a degree. However optimizations become less important as CPUs become quicker and memory becomes plentiful.
I learned the basics of OOP in Heads First Java, and learned a lot about design and structure in Code Complete. Haven't programmed in a while unfortunately, I just have no projects to work on.
Both of the numbers are off, as the vast majority of apps in the play store and app store are total crap.
I'd imagine it to be a lot worse on android since there is no fee to be a android dev. I think to put your work on the app store you need to pay a fee or something along those lines.
I would have to disagree. The Android app store is rapidly approaching Apples app store. Both, have close to one million apps each. I do not know for sure, but I have heard that Google Play has many more free apps than iTunes.
From what I've heard, a large amount of android apps are just repetitive, reinventing the wheel. Apparently a large amount of flashlight apps.
I'm not sure I understand FM87's argument, as it seems to imply that all languages are basically equivalent. While most languages have a fairly large set of possible tasks in common (there's very little one can do in C that he can't do in Pascal, even if the approach he has to take differs to some extent), there's wide variation in style that could fully determine someone's preference.
For instance, even though C is theoretically capable of anything Haskell is (in that the same kinds of program can be written, not that the same language features exist), the difference between Haskell's strict functional style and C's imperative one means that the two languages require fundamentally separate thought processes, and which one prefers is as much a matter of the task at hand (it might not be reasonable, for instance, to write an operating system in Haskell, given that an operating system is tied heavily to unpredictable IO events that do not adapt well to a strict functional model.) as of personal preference.
His analogy is that each language is a different tool, you just need to know how to pick the right one for the job.
I wear Sperry Top Siders, so I really don't need to replace my shoe for a good 15 years. That is correct, my Dad actually wore the same Top Siders for 15 years with only moderate wear. This would be useless for most people.
I'll probably take a Spanish course over the summer so I can still apply to a good amount of schools, my school doesn't offer summer classes for language so where could i take such classes?

I like their tutorials, but suit yourself.
