Nope, just a above-average intelligence-gifted kid with a computer addiction.

Ha ha. And i'm a dumpass with the head loaded with shits. Actually, my brain is super slow and keep forgeting everything

Re: Just a newbie question... sorry
I started out age 14 very much into hardware. Unfortunately I was 14 30 years ago and getting info on cpus was hard and affording any computer was even harder. My school only let the clever kids near computers (I wasn't one of them) so I used to read anything I could get my hands on. I used to program on paper only. Luckily for me and millions of others, 1980 saw the start of the cheap home computer. I got a sinclair ZX80 and my parents didn't see much of me after that.
I find it fascinating that computer science and programming is becoming very much like other sciences in that the subject is getting so large and diverse that it's getting increasingly difficult to know it all to any real depth. You could be an real expert on OS design and implementation and have no clue on database design. Then there's the world of games and game theory.
At the age of 43 I feel I know very little and there's so much more to learn. Instead of sitting here typing I should be learning something new

Hehe, nice. I forget when I started programming... Probably around your age in C++. I never got into any libraries though.
I nearly lost all of my C/C++ knowledge thanks to assembly.

I have some things I can't learn... like German, Frensh, Lating, Greec and all the other things that change over time...quanganht wrote:Oh really?Troy Martin wrote:Not as long as you act mature and try to grasp as much as you can. I'm only 13, fourteen in one month and five days.So you are some kind of genius huh?
The only languages I can learn are English and programming languages.
Re: Just a newbie question... sorry
Everyone can learn anything so long as they put the time and effort into it.
