Though this is a late response but I will post about yesterday as if it was today. Today was quite an interesting day. I started to gain affiliates through the Rakuten's Linkshare program. Though I fully don't understand the software itself I do understand it's purpose. This makes it quite easy to gain a income that I have to barely work for. Gaining commission for each purchase made on each website that I am affiliated with not only cuts down on my own personal purchases but on the purchases I have to make for others. Though I wish I could gain some more support from other companies but so far I have Microsoft, HP, and a Best Buy Parts online store to name a few.
I also came up on a profit of $40 from donating to further pay my bills in a timely fashion. My next goal is to continue developing curriculum for my future high school Computer Science class. To do this I have been constantly reviewing ADTs, Simple Data Structures and Advance Data Structures to enhance my own understanding of the following. Also building my applications in C++ has been quite the fun experience as my Java experience makes it quite easy to understand the concepts behind C++. I also see why most people switched over to Java from C++ due to the fact you have to manage your memory allocation for each variable while Java does the memory management.
I prefer being able to have the ability to manage my memory allocation for each of my variables in a similar fashion to my C programs. C++ simply enhances what C has already created as a standard. Instead of going the procedural route, it follows the Object Oriented Paradigm which makes using C++ a double-edged sword so to speak. I say this because memory management and allocation of variables has become a thing of the past when it should not. This is in reference to Microsoft Windows quite adaptation to GUI in response to Apple creating a GUI. This rushed product is a result of poor memory management when it comes to the GUI. This is a common thing in most Mac OS X releases and in almost every Window's release since they implemented the GUI into their OS (Operating System). That's why the Spinning Ball of Death and Blue Screen of Death became such a famous thing in the computer world.
Even to this day there are still memory leaks within the Windows OS whether it be XP, Vista, 7, 8, or 8.l. The memory leaks are still a thing that happens as common place. As a result of this the world has responded to computers in fear from the previous generation and refuse to adapt to what was a luxury item before to now a required item to make your business a success. Fear of the computer is what I am referring too, and most people who were born before 1989 can relate to this. Computers are an item that is confusing to many older people and senior citizens. Rather than take it upon themselves to adapt they refuse to use a computer because it's simply too "complicated" to use.
In this day and age we rely on computers for everything yet we still have people who don't want to take that leap. This is what I believe is the definition of stupidity, either one gets comfortable with one system yet refuses to adapt to a new one because they are so accustomed to using another. This can be seen when trying to implement Linux in a workplace environment that has solely depended on Microsoft as their OS fulfilment. Now since the economy keeps on collapsing every four years or so leaves no room for products like Microsoft Windows and Apple's Mac OS X.
Though pretty and simple to use there is still a price tag to those Operating Systems which is why I personally use Ubuntu 14.04.1 as my primary OS. The only reason why I used Windows in the past was to play Videogames but when it came down to developing programs I had to worry constantly about memory leaks and gaps in the OS's security. Rather than have to worry about any of that I switched to Linux because;
1) It's free
2) No viruses due to a fast development rate
3) I have complete and utter control over my own system.
These concepts are unheard of from the competitors and the fact of the matter being that if I find a issue within the kernel I can simply write a patch and send it off to get fixed and it would be fixed in three months time. Three months is the release of a new Linux kernel due to the concept of collaboration. To give the competitor some form of credit at least Microsoft is finally making the decision to make .Net open-source but is it to late for them to jump ship from setting the standard of proprietary software and the same can be said about the "free" updates for Mac OS X.
As a result of proprietary software individuals have risen up and taken the old pirate flag as their banner and have taken on the values of pirates of old to combat the new form of "order" that has be unjustly created a world in which we cannot share our ideas and software without severe consequences in the form of the DMCA. The governments are at fault at this point for not keeping corporations in line as is their duty to protect their citizens from such nonsense, but as I stated before how can you bring such ideas as Net Neutrality and Copyright to a group of people who are constantly on the Internet and adapt to every challenge you bring forward?
The answer is you can't when that group of people consists of the older generation that do not understand the intricacies of the computer on the most simple level.
