    Not when I play it. I like it distorted.

      Hello everyone, I would like to start learning some language from ground up and have a pretty good knowledge about it and do freelance work and maybe in the future build a start-up company. Keeping in mind the technology trends, what do you think would be the best investment for such an adventure. Some options i have in mind are: iPhone programming, Silverlight, .Net etc. Can you give me some insight on this. Thank you all

          He said he wanted to learn something from the ground up. Can't get anymore low-level than assembler.

            Ideally you would *want* to make *something*, that would be your passion and the language and tools to do it would all be incidental and learned along the way to making something you really like and believe in. Personally I find it really easy to learn stuff when it is in aid of whatever I'm actually interested in accomplishing.

                  Not good enough. You have manipulate the CPU with a AA battery and some wires on the leads of the CPU. Use a volt meter to check the results.

                        Sorry. Too many bits for my liking...

                        I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                                I'm afraid I missed that before. Would I still be on time when I study it now, or has its future already passed? :)

                                        Ideally you would *want* to make *something*, that would be your passion and the language and tools to do it would all be incidental and learned along the way to making something you really like and believe in. Personally I find it really easy to learn stuff when it is in aid of whatever I'm actually interested in accomplishing.

                                          .... um .... :~ .... I did. I put aside my aspirations to be a professional mattress tester (and sleep all day) or professional gamer (and play games all day) or bar tender (and drink all day) with the thought that maybe one day I will need a steady income. Seriously, when I had to choose a major (didn't even want to go to college) I had only two 'A' grades. One was studio art, and the other was C programming. I figured this would pay more. However, many years later, I'm trying again to figure out how to escape this cubicle :mad: Edit: Multiple edits because I can't spell after multiple 'on call' situations last night :confused:
