What was the point of learning cursive in school?

Knowledge of linear algebra(a separate subject from just algebra) will help one understand how google's search engine works.

And why do I need to know that?

Suggesting algebra is unnecessary is about as ignorant as a comment can get. The blast was deserved.

CPUs do not store things. Their "storage" are stuff like the L1 and L2 caches, which only assists them in processing info, not storing them long term.

Dude, I know...I'm in I.T..... most people refer to CPUs as the actual computer...YES...I know that's technically incorrect, but I was NOT referring to the processor chip on the computer.

Yeah, they're called IBMs, but CPUs...everyone knows that!

Unlike the electron flow standards, I cannot see any reasonable basis for such a disgusting misnomer.

Oh, you want to going into a war of which one of us is the more skilled geek here? I'm one of those guys who don't need any demystification when going into computer jargon and doesn't faint at the sight of opening the case and seeing the motherboard. If I wanted to, I could have pursued a computer science degree real easy.
There is no sense behind this usage of CPU. None.

Although I haven't written in cursive except for maybe a page or so a couple weeks ago, I say it is much easier on the hands than print. Now, I must have a fine memory because I know how still write every word in cursive(and adhere strictly to the the cursive on the worksheets they gave out).

That said, word processing has supplanted cursive a long time ago.

My absolute favorite is when someone (always over the age of 50) sends you an e-mail in a cursive font. I normally either delete it before reading or let them know the next one will be. Shit kills my eyes.

I love cursive,its so much faster than the other way.

I gotta agree with SCP here (and I did go to college and get my degree as well broke open towers for a long time). Most people would say " on a computer somewhere" in the sentence that started this mess. Of course using the form "most people" leaves it open for defining how "most" is quantified. All in all seems like the point that data is being stored somewhere else was clear from the original sentence, so now everyone has split some hairs somewhere.
