Get your ass whomped for 4 years in a engineering program, while all your friends slide by as buisness majors. Don't you agree that simply being able to make significant things that people use is worth that time and effort?
When you all graduate, they get jobs as managers and you stand in the unemployment line because Intel outsourced all those jobs to India or filled them with H-1B workers The way I see it, with Moore's law still in effect, there will be plenty of work to go around for years to come.
high-quality AAA titles are available? To me, having lots of expensive technology and artwork does not make the derivative games we see in the store high-quality.
free/open source software is that the original developer does not have to focus on the user interface; Since the code is freely available for modification, someone else with better UI skills can improve it.
Liberals come from cities, Conservatives come from rural areas. I think it is the lifestyle of where you live that governs the formation of the brain.
There are exceptions to that. I was born and raised in Detroit, and I still live there, and I'm definitely a Conservative. While the correlation in that map seems accurate as far as political parties are concerned, there are many liberal minded people who are Republicans, and many conservative minded people who are Democrats, and they may vote that way because they think they would benefit more from that's party's policies.
Moreover, NWN2 is scheduled to be released in late 2006. That's less than half of the time Bioware had to develop the original title, and Bioware had both more expertise and more manpower.
That indicates NWN2 might reuse a lot of stuff from NWN1, which I think would be a good thing.
But since then Kay hasn't really invented that much, missed "industrial-strength" OOP I don't understand that comment. Kay helped invent Smalltalk. Isn't that an industrial-strength OOP language?
missed the significance of the Web, PDAs, cellphones and other innovations. Aren't the Web and PDA's basically replacements for paper? Don't they simple provide different ways to do the same things as before?
The Gore-Gates initative to make the Web available in every school and library by year 2000 did far more for children computing access than SmallTalk and eQuariums.
and are the children getting a better education as a result of this?
They raised it to MS-DOS 8, even though it had fewer commands. If they really want to kill DOS, they should announce a product called "MS-DOS Forever."
What about Perl, PHP, and Python? There are plenty of open souce languages that do quite well without being standardized by a big organization. That's true, but notice that those languages are written in C and C++, which are managed by a standards organization.
the best language to teach her is probably the one that you know the best. If you know it well, you would be able to teach it to her. If you can't, you probably don't know the language as well as you thought. Just be sure to keep it very simple; avoid mentioning advanced features.

Why wouldn't pets have a soul? They have a mind.
Amen to that. I'm tired of getting flamed.
I'd also rather float in orbit with the Earth below than in water, with sharks behind.
Yeah, doing what's best for the U.S. will make a lot of people angry.

I really was hoping for mice with frickin' lasers on their headers. Darn.
I'm glad they don't. My snakes wouldn't like it.

What does the daemon mascot have to do with using the operating system? Just don't make it your wallpaper, and you should be fine.
They are, however, indexed by Altavista. I found many of my comments there.
Well, its impossible to go back in time to show it occurring. The only thing we can do now is connect the dots.
Can you explain to me the difference between "created" and "specially created?"
Evolution doesn't need "ammo." Enough evidence was gathered for it over 100 years ago. It's like physics; you understand it, or you don't.
Evolution is accepted by a great majority of life scientists; it is the basis of modern biology, so why shouldn't it be considered factual?

My effort to add to the pendantry:
Windows 98SE = Windows 4.10.2222A on MS-DOS 7
Windows ME = Windows 4.90.3000 on MS-DOS 8
Java3D was used for the game Roboforge. It was also used in Law and Order: Dead on the Money.
"Book" in French. The term "Software Livre" might confuse some of those who speak French.

Try teaching her assembly language. There's nothing simpler. Its almost like using a calculator:
..
load this
load that
add
store
That's it!
I guess that's a good reason not to go to college, right?
