We have had VOD for pay per view for a while, and are in the process of getting the HBO et all channels moved over to on demand as well. Its great except when networks fail you can get multiple bills for movies.

Its good to live in a techie town
I hope this is an engine accident... It would be traggic but... believable. Whats strange is that its seems more... acceptable if hundreds die in an accident, but if in an act of war they become more precious...
America has never had someone bring a war to our homefront, and we need to realize this is what that is... and act accordingly, by protecting our own, and killing all of those responsible, I know we are in that process of doing it, but... perhaps if this IS an another incident we need to stop being so... law abiding? moral? Let our soldiers do their jobs (break things, kill people) and target their leaders (read: assinations) with no care for any laws we hold. They deserve to die...
Some teachers model our lives. Others shape our minds. Then there is the rare individual that doesn't do either. They just show that beyond what you know, beyond what you think everyone else knows---there is free thinking to be done.
He was my high school Physics teacher. Not only did he realize that physics was about the physical universe, he instilled that all life is a search for knowledge. He wasn't the normal teacher. He didn't just grade tests and homework. He wanted you to see that beyond you home, your city, your MIND, there were things that needed research. Deep Thought. Not all questions were answered where they? Is it a computer program that draws your attention, or astronomy? He cared less about what you wanted to learn, as long as the desire to seek what was unknown was instilled.
For me he was the origanal guy to say "think outside the box." This is something that I will forever cherish and hope that all young people shall grow up cherishing. If only there was a way to box and share what a teacher like this can do. All the world would be better.
"Wow thats how they figure acceleration?"--Me 1996
The hunger for intelectual gains, especially in some one of this age, are to be fed. On the other hand socail development is a variable all to often overlooked. His desires may lead him to math(age 9) but later them may lead him to girls(age 13). This leaves you not with a choice of books to give him, but of choices to leave him. Does he make the plunge into pure mathmathics or do you give him what his mind desires, along with what he can(socially) grasp? His intellectual life will be all but ordanary, dare you do the same with his socail life?
Inregaurds to resources, just let him find it. Does he want a knowledge of programming? Start in C where it began. Does he want to know how to program hardware? Show him http://www.lexitech.com/bobrich. Java? http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/infodocs/? frontpage-main and let him go nuts. Kids like this don't need prodiding, they need a mediator. Someone to keep them from remembering their mental age yet to develop their mind.
Code long, live short, die rich!
