Dunno.. What can you do with a generic tablet-PC? You could use it to slice your vegetables on, I guess
What can you do with paper? Depends mostly on your creativity, dunnit?

Yoipers!
I can't remember the last time I used paper!

Now you made me angry...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

You pig.
Please note, I have never played angry birds but know there is something about pigs.

Ignore it and buy a good one?
Anyway, don't speak ill of wenovo this week. I'm happy with them for a few days (using the laptop to post this, even).

I have the original Google Nexus 7. I bought it the day it released. Never done that before.
Anyways, it works perfectly as an alarm clock now.
I do not allow it to connect to wifi / network -- otherwise it wants to update and dies.
As long as I don't allow it to connect, it stays charged for days and is a great alarm clock.
So much better than any other alarm clock you can buy.
So, make yours an alarm clock.

Quote from QA: I have graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, however I feel like I don’t have the required skills or knowledge to say that I’m in a intermediate level of java.
...
My main programming language is Java, Here is an example of what im kind of trying to find out:
-knowledge on how to make variables
-understands OOP
-knows how to make different loops

Did he get his degree from a Christmas Cracker?
It's depressing how many people - at least in QA - appear to be trying to get degrees and hold down jobs afterwards without even trying to learn anything.

That was not a problem of reading, that was a problem about understanding

Majority of my batch mates got their degrees without understanding programming. ~ they ended up in a call center company. It's sad. I don't get why they pursue programming if they don't have the "interest" for it.

Call center? They'd do better, spiritually at least, selling their bodies on a street corner.

I totally get it. I loved programming and went to college thinking it would teach me how to do it (they have "programming" classes). I found that every programming class in college assumed you had never done it before, so they all started over and never went in depth.
I still dabbled on my own after college, but I didn't really start learning till I got my first full time gig programming (5 months after graduation). That first year of work was life changing. I was lucky to have a patient mentor as I learned the ropes. Still doing it 16 years later.

Okay, but surely starting from scratch meant teaching you how to create variables and perform loops. Otherwise, what the elephant did they teach?
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Sure, they taught these things in college. But there is a big difference between doing this for a handfull of homework assignments and performing this every day in your job.
College doesn't teach a person to code, it teaches them concepts about how to code.

You can't do any good as a programmer if you just have a mild interest in it. I fell in love with it when I took my first FORTRAN course back in 1976 (40 years ago) and that's still what I do for a living.

I used to get mad at people who had right to be in the position they were in.
But at a company I was at recently, I realized that it wasn't that individual's fault. It was that individual's manager or team who hired them.
I guess some colleges are better than others.
