I have to say that Ubuntu's forums and documentation aren't worth hardly anything. The forum is overloaded and there are so many new threads that very few of the threads will ever be touched or answered.

The documentation covers the basics, but it rarely helps if there is a problem.

I had a problem with graphics card issues last year and spent a couple weeks of research before finally finding a way to fix the problem myself. The forums and documentation didn't help.

And I found numerous other people asking the same question but not getting any answer. After I found the solution I posted it on their forum threads.

Very fascinating article. I fell into the Calculus trap myself, and I admit that it definitely would have been more interesting to have avoided it.

As it was I got an A in Calculus, breezed through the course as an early college course student.

How much better it would have been to have enjoyed the alternate possibility presented:

"Going from ‘top student in my algebra class’ to ‘average student in my city’s math club’ is a huge step forward in your educational prospects. The student in the math club is going to grow by great leaps, led and encouraged by other students."

Then you missed the best part about quantum computers. ;)

LOL

I agree that quantum mechanics, and applications like Schrodinger's Cat are strange and seemingly senseless, but I think that it is fascinating that it may be applied to computing.

This is a sequel to Experiment Garden's wildly popular beginner's iPhone application programming tutorial.

It explains how to create controls and link them to code methods within the iPhone view controller.

Thank you for sharing the original article. It is considerably better than the article that was submitted.

I believe that the URL of this news item should be switched to point to the original paper.

Let's hope they get the update out before someone writes a worm that blocks updates.

I'm sure AT&T would love that. Virus protection, now from AT&T, only $20 more per month to protect your iPhone.

I don't think I'd trust them to keep up with all the new threats.
