It looks great, but I immediately closed that site after I saw that I need to pay 5$ for a custom domain.

Yeah, I am a CS student too... Hope after finishing my degree I will get enough sleep.
Re:Poll: How many hours do you sleep? on Monday December 05, 2011 @12:29AM (#3313275)
Yeah, I just now realized that choices are not very cleverly made. I just expected(haha) that everyone sleeps pretty much as me (maybe I was trying to justify my sleep hours..?).

But now, probably, I should not change choices as there are plenty of votes. Sorry for that.

Re:Linux Mint 12 “Lisa” released on Saturday November 26, 2011 @12:03PM (#3280161)
Is it better than Ubuntu? Can I have a few workspaces? I think to leave Ubuntu as it became slow for me and Unity is really not cool at all. What do you think?

P.S. Can I transfer all my files from Ubuntu to Mint easily?

Where to get money for your startup?

I love website called Kickstarter.com, but unfortunately it's only for USA startups. So, are there any good websites like Kickstarter for Europe startups too? Or are there any websites where investors could see your website and then decide if they want to invest in it or not? What would you suggest?

I've been working as a freelancer, so I know I love to do that.

Wow, what a post. Thank you very much.

I am not that clever and my classes are at day time...

Or I can't do both because I am just lazy fool?.. I am really not a genius or something.

How would I need that theory stuff if it contains hardware and other similar stuff and I am not planing to do anything with that kind of things in my career (I just want to be a software programmer, because I love it)? I am just feeling that I am studying lots of useless things...

Thank you very much for researching companies advice, it's a very good advice, I will start doing that.

This is the first year of college. My life goal is to work for myself and I hope to achieve that by the age of 25.

Congrat me, I got a job. Should I quit college now?

So, I got a Web Developer's job. It is pretty good job. I am just 19 years old and I've been programming since ~15 years old. So, they liked me and said that you can come work with us. Problem is, it's full-part job and I need to quit college to work here. And I don't like college that much, because it contains so much theory and it's hard for me. So, what do you think I should do?

I want to be a web developer too. I already earn a few hundred pounds every months for being freelancer. I love it. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you, I will try to go to counselor at uni.

What do you mean by saying "For such people, appropriate diagnosis and accommodation can be a godsend"? Should I go to doctor?

Is university for everybody?

I am first year Computer Science student and I've had lectures just for month now and I am already struggling with some courses. I've been programming since 15 years old and I love to do it, but now in university, I just can't handle the theory (computer engineering etc). So, maybe university is not for everybody? Maybe I am just too stupid to get the degree of Computer Science?

Big web pages, big projects, big/challenging/complex software which could be useful to humans.
Re:No motivation to study Computer Science on Tuesday October 04, 2011 @07:13PM (#3073391)
I have passion for programming.

No motivation to study Computer Science

I love programming. I am self-taught, started programming at 15 years old and now I already earn money from that (Web Developer), but I just can't find motivation to study other subjects like computer architecture, computer engineering and so on. Basically, I enjoy just JAVA course (where programming is). I am first year student. I am 19 years old.Maybe I should just drop out? I hope not, maybe...
