Title: INTRODUCING THE EPIC NERD PIMATHBRAINIAC!
Post by: pimathbrainiac on November 07, 2012, 03:32:50 pm
Considering that I've been on for a few days, I think I should introduce myself

My name is Philip N, and apparently the announcer thinks I'm epic  ;D

I'm 14 and taking AP Calculus AB as a freshman in high school (ticalc says, BC, which was a typo)

I am fluent in java, and learning Axe.

I am from NJ originally, but moved to GA.

Oh, and I am a Physics/Math nerd.

I wish to go to Stanford, MIT, or any school where I can get to work at an accelerator!

Apparently, I am a rule-breaker for getting past a post requirement for OmnomIRC without hacking in any way.

Also, I am making a chess program in Axe called AXECHESS



(Hint: don't debate me on Politics or Religion a ton, and you'll be my friend!)

So, what are your political and religious views? ;) Just curious, I won't argue with you (and I hope no one else will), but if you feel comfortable I'm kinda interested in what your views are now that you've said not to debate with you on it hehe.

Anyway, welcome to Omnimaga, and good luck with Stanford/MIT :P

That's an interesting combination. So as an atheist, are you socially conservative as well, or more like a libertarian (fiscally/governmentally conservative, but pro gay rights/choice/marijuana legalization)?

Post by: pimathbrainiac on November 07, 2012, 03:43:38 pm
Not the marijuana legalization, but pretty much... I think that what you do is your business... I may not agree with what you do, but I won't stop you from things that are not seen as ethically wrong.

What's your definition of ethically wrong? And what do you think about politicians whose source of ethics come from religious ideas and push for things like pro-life and illegalization of samesex marriage because of religious doctrine? Sorry if I seem like I'm giving you the third degree here and also hijacking the thread, but I've never met an atheistic conservative lol (I live in a pretty blue state)

Also, those peanuts are raw I think...so you can boil them OR roast them! Win-win

It depends on what is meant by conservative. I tend to be conservative in that I favor small government and minimalistic government spending. However I am pro same sex marriage and I wouldn't care if marijuana was legalized. Abortion is a bit more difficult subject, as there are many different things to consider. I am also an atheist, so I suppose I could be described as an atheist who is politically conservative. However, my political views don't necessarily fall on one side or the other, so I guess you could say they are mixed (as I think many people are). I don't necessarily think atheistic religion and conservative political view are an odd combination, as long as you ignore the religious aspect that many seem to attach to being conservative. Politics is largely that, and while some may say they are x or y religion, many I'm sure are casually religious and just use the affiliation in accordance with how they think it will best benefit their political standing.

Nice to see more freshman in high school who are math/comp nerds.
I'm in BC(Only because I knew the counselors/principals and convinced them to let me skip AB), but I spend most of my time reading ahead. You will find some great things as you go farther into math. I have never been as interested as math until I got past Calculus I/II(BC) and started learning whats after it. If you ever need any help be sure to ask omni has lots of us math nerds/geeks

THE GAME

Err... This is not a pointless necro. I just wanted to reflect on how much I've changed, so without further ado:

And fiscally/gov't conservative... more like a libertarian

I'm going to say that honestly I do identify as a libertarian now, not just kind of, mainly because I believe in fiscal conservatism/capitalism, but (for obvious reasons if you are in private matters) I hate social conservatism with a passion.

I think I was a bit overenthusiastic about this. I don't hate the calc, but in retrospect, I can't see why I was this excited.

No because an OS is a bunch of components interacting together, so a bunch of small projects. Only oop would make the use of C++ legit IMO. But there is a twist : if a particular component requires it then it can be written in another language. Because they are all distinct it's not a problem.
