My physics teacher likes to say that physics like to make problems they face look like ones that they know how to solve. A simple harmonic oscillation was one he frequently used in class, as is presumably the case in physics in general.

I was about to write a response, but most of the issues brought up in the article were already adressed by other posters and... well face it: the text is rubbish.
I must say, though, that I am rather surprised that this ... text made it on the OSNews website. This is not an article
or an interesting opinion, but only a rant by some computing/programming newbie.
I know his type; he's probably a teenager who just finished reading his first book on C programming, and is now certain he knows all there is to know. He probably also overheard some teacher or older colleagues (that he looks up to) talk derisively about Computer Science people and now thinks he has to loathe Computer Science as well.
Oh well... he'll grow up; hopefully he'll learn more about the programming craft and will be embarassed about this text;
or... he'll end up being a mediocre C hack, producing code filled with Buffer Overflows and memory leaks. Oh well...
I'm just wondering about one thing: He claims Unix style I/O is different than Java I/O? Both use Streams; where's the difference?
