I believe you mean Calais (the closest point on French soil to England). Dunkirk was the site of a battle during the inital invasion of France by the Germans in 1940 - where the Germans cut off the British Expeditionary Force (and some French and Belgian forces) from the bulk of the French Army - so the only way to get them out was by evacuating them across the Channel (the miracle of Dunkirk - over 300,000 British and French troops managed to get across).
Oxygen gets consumed as well as the 'fuel' - so yes, it is also burned, although depending on the context you don't normally refer to oxygen as the fuel (but the chemical reaction requires both - so I don't think its entirely incorrect to label oxygen as fuel - the reaction could not occur without it, and it also gets consumed).
Is it really hard to imagine that Bill Gate's is a good programmer? Just about all the history/bio's of him and MS I've read focus on how he is very technically-oriented vs. simply interested in the business aspect of the application. He is well known for asking tough questions of his developers. I'll point you to this history of Bill Gate's reviews [joelonsoftware.com].
Since I assume you're talking about investing for just a year or so (i.e. until you graduate), and since you want something liquid (i.e. that's easy to cash out when you need the money quick), I'd recommend something on the order of a money market account. They average a better interest rate than normal savings accounts, but are just as liquid. Of course, with the rash of electronic only savings accounts (ING Direct, HSBC Direct, Citibank e-Savings) offering on the order of 5% interest rates, they can be more appealing than money market accounts now. If you can afford to tie up a portion of your cash for 6 months or more you can still do better with CD's, etc. of course. I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to bonds - except that they are a nice conservative investment. I'd stay away from the stock market though unless you're investing for a longer term (i.e. >5 years) - it's much too volatile in the short-term.
Down here in the eastern Caribbean, the local Coca-cola bottling companies use the local produced cane sugar as a sweetener too. It really does make a difference - I usually don't like coke very much, but it's much nicer with the cane sugar (and that island rum of course).
I think one of the best ways to learn how to write well is to read well-written articles. Find the best journal articles, etc. you can find - that demonstrate how to communicate a complicated idea well. Have the students read them and critique them. Then give them some poorly written articles that demonstrate what not to do - have them critique them. Then have them write a couple articles themselves. Practice/critique/re-write helps learn how to communicate well.
Good samaritan laws in the US protect those who voluntarily attempt to assist victims (e.g. if I see an accident, go attempt CPR on the victim, and end up breaking their ribs doing compressions - which is common even if I am performing them correctly - he/she can't sue me). This is as opposed to professional EMTs/Paramedics.
Good samaritan laws do NOT hold those who fail to assist victims accountable in any way.
According to Google, Quebec is the only place in Canada to suggest bystanders need to assist someone in peril - and only if it does not involve the risk of injury to the would-be rescuer (stopping on the side of a highway does involce the risk of injury, so there is some legal leeway there):
In fact there are many historians that agree with this view. FDR was desperately trying to find a way to convince the American people we needed to enter the War. At that point in history America still held on the to the belief that the problems in Europe were just that - Europe's problem. FDR wanted to give the British more than just equipment and supplies - he wanted America to enter the war. Now, I don't think I'd say he wanted Pearl Harbor to happen, but he did want to find a way to pursuade the American people that America's involvement in the war was necessary.
I seem to remember hearing about something in GGI that would let you do this. I think it was like a cube, and on each face you'd have a different desktop - basically like a virtual desktop, except that it was 3d (projected onto the 2d screen of course)

So Artificial Intelligence is creating a program to pass the Turing test?
