So, you get on this list that says you're such a threat to the nation, we don't want you flying planes, and we do this without permission because this guy's DANGEROUS. Yet, they're so little a threat that a court case can get them off the list.
And who said there are no good comedians in the US?
I kind of think it's naive to think EA would put down SucuROM just because of complaints. They wouldn't put it in their games if they weren't scared of pirates (even though, with the amount of money they make, they have no reason to fear GIVING away copies). That fear, and the greed that fear comes from, is why, if you ever think they'll take away SecuROM, they'll really just replace it. For bettor or worse.
How does this not make them evil? Just because Will Wright designed it well, doesn't mean a thing about EA. They're still the evil capitalists they've always been.
This really will be a glorious future. Think about it: no more "...was killed by a drunk driver" commercials! Now, we just need to worry about drunk programmers.
I LOVE how they use lighting to make the un-"enhanced" women look paler and less healthy. It's good to finally see a place I can go to and know I'm given unbiased, true information.
Should be fun. I wonder if they're going to say "Thou shall not kill" or "Thou shall not murder".
I can't wait to count the mistranslations! Or, who knows, maybe historians will lead the project. Maybe definitely.
I remember doing TI-83 programming. I always finished my math homework so much quicker than everyone else because instead of paying attention in class, I'd be programming it how to find solutions. TI programming is great. Teaches a lot about optimization.
And I agree. He's lucky. Even if you don't know the language he uses, being able to talk about conceptually what happens is very helpful.
When my mom was learning, she thought it was fun making things and putting them on the screen, then changing them and seeing what happens. Just today, I tried to see what happens if I change all me velocity vectors to integers and it was fun to see everything stop moving because their velocity was always less than one to begin with.
Teach him how to play with code.
Also, whether or not you'd bore him is a level of his determination. I've been programming since 16 and I made worthless, unimpressive code until I was 18, but I kept on because I knew I'd some day make games. All that experience made it so that with one semester of C++ and an SDL tutorial, I could make a sweet and simple game.
On the other hand, many of the people who graduated for a degree in computer science claimed they never wanted to program again. Determination will decide whether he programs or not. He can have all the knowledge in the world, but not touch a computer again if he lacks determination.

What does this mean to people who surf for porn?
It's going to be a long night at Google.
Burn them to stay warm.
Well, they did make sure to make it bio degradable for him...
Like poor people!?
Don't worry. The gov never fails. Put your faith in something more reliable to do its job, like...the lotto! Well, it's more reliable.

That didn't work for me, but I did enjoy counting the number of times the terms said "Tools & Materials" (22).
But, I'm always cautious of downloading something with EA's name attached. http://www.simprograms.com/?p=692

Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted, god gets quite irate.
Anyone else think it's ironic this comes out not long after the TV ads for Hamlet 2 start coming out?

There's a site for that: Project Euler
Actually, it's good practice for ANY programmer. Try a few!
