Although I disagree with your decision, you seem like a smart guy, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we trust your judgement...

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on April 27 granted a patent for a "time based hardware button for application launch" in which a click of a button can start different programs if it is clicked once, twice or held down for several seconds.

How about we'll call it football because we played it first? Football was 'invented' well before American Football came about, I do believe. American Football is more closely related to rugby anyway (although I don't know if it was based on it originally).

And you use your FEET. It's a FOOTBALL. You KICK it. Yes, you can hit it with your head too, but you kick it alot more than you do in American Football. Why not call American Football 'Handball'?

Football is all about kicking the ball, hence the name football. I don't know why American Football is called football, really. It's not football. It's a slow, strange version of rugby with armour.

The way I see it now if I read it again ... click once to open something, click twice to open something else, hold down the button and yet another thing will happen ... if that's used to load different programs, that actually seems new to me

Just the single/double click and button holding was there long ago, probably even before Windows ...

... Oh damn I feel sooo stupid right now. XD

Oh well, I learnt a lesson. I shouldn't be so quick reading articles. The write made it like they patented the double click.

What industry are looking to work in?? Cause if it's computers, then maybe some one should tell you now. There are few emplyers that I've seen that will evel LOOK at you if you don't have some form of post secondary education in IT. Yes, yo learn a lot though person projects, and working (if you can GET a computer job) but you will not learn as much nor more than if you were to learn it in school. I'm not talking experience, but the things you can learn. I considerd my self to be pretty adept with computers before I started post secondary school, studing for the IT field. and yes there was a lot of stuff I already knew, but I learned so much more in class than I would have learned in the same amount of time or more at a job.

Experience is just not the same as an education, and employers will tell you the same.

I graduated too, as Kwan said. I may have some pictures sometime, but they're bleh anyway.
I'm gonna continue with my education, most likely it'll be Computer Engineer somewhere in sweden. It feels like a little holiday though, almost like I'm waiting to go back again. Had some cool teachers (and friends) that I'll miss :\

Jesper, what's your average?

I would call myself a "Neo-Catholic" I believe in God and the Virgin Mary and Jesus, but I also except other religions and understand thier beliefs. I dont hate the Jews for what they did to Jesus, even though I still feel it was just...WRONG!!!. As long as a person is a decent human being who is aware that there is a God I think thats all that matters.
