My Computer Science Teacher

Second day of the class, it's funny how she's teaching C++ yet refers to "Open Source" as a program. Because not everyone has Visual C++, the other teacher told her to tell us to use a different program that is open-source. But she refers to the program as Open-Source, not as the program's name. Heh.

Today she is ranting about the partitioning of her 120GB disc on her new computer. She doesn't understand why the OS is on its own partition and now she has some other guy trying to explain it to her, but the guy isn't that bright either.

This is going to be a fun class. I've just been posting on ATOT the whole time.
 
This is community college, but meh. Only place that offers summer school.

I don't know the reason why Dell/Gateway/etc. do it, but I do it because I re-format my OS partition every other month or so.

And on a 80GB drive when you only have 5GB dedicated to the OS, that's 75GB less to backup.

Community college = high school 2.0. I don't think I'd ever go back to a community college again. At least your class will probably be an easy A.

Yeah, seriously. Except this class is 4 hours a day because it's a "short semester."

G'luck man. Last semester I took a 16 week 5 1/2 hour course that met once a week. It was PURE HELL.

EDIT: To make it worse, it was on a Monday. 🙁

That translates to 4 hours of "postcount++". See, I make Computer Science joke. I funny! LAUGH DAMN YOU!!!

That's a moronic statement. Given the "quality" of today's college courses, I've found that community college teachers tend to actually teach better. This is after seeing 3 different CC. I've taken classes at 2 different universities and my wife has as well. The teachers on average tend to not really care at all about their students.

Not in California where teachers are severly underpaid. No initiatives.

So when you need to reformat, deleting the OS won't hurt any of your data/programs/etc. Reformatting is good for 3 things...1) if you suck at computers and get utterly raped by spyware/viruses...or 2) OS needs to be cleaned up every so often...makes everything run smoother/faster...or 3) something just totally fvcks up and you have no other choice.

Keeps most of your program's settings.

Hey guys, look what I wrote today:
//T3AppE03.cpp - calculates and displays a commission amount

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
//hi2u
cout << "omgs hi2u. this class is hard\n\n ";

//declare variables
float sales = 0.0;
float rate = 0.0;
float commission = 0.0;

//enter input items
cout << "Enter your Sales: ";
cin >> sales;
cout << "Enter your Commission Rate: ";
cin >> rate;

//calculate commission
commission = sales * rate;

//display commission
cout << "Your Commission: " << commission << endl;

return 0;
}

//end of main function

My computer science teacher in college was making a program as an example, and the villian was a guy named Dr. NoNookie......I wonder how my teacher was feeling about life at that point.

blah, you shouldn't need to have to reformat unless you've royally screwed something over. With that said, I like to have my OS/APPs on one drive/partition. Preferable a 20GB drive to itself.. but they don't make them drives anymore. I hate partitioning.
