    not the same month but they're both recent and off-peak so it's comparable

    Last time I checked November had the biggest day for shopping
    ..and I'd venture to guess that November has at least the second highest (if not the highest) behind December. Your outliers are fukt!

    Are you telling me God doesn't exist (no doctype on the bible, i think) and in reality we are merely experiencing the universe in "quirks mode"

    Or in your dream.

    Or in your nightmares. I sure have awoken in a cold sweat after dreaming of code.

    You are showing just how much of a stooge you are by comparing LSD (a chemical compound that temporarily alters neuroactivity) and Ebola (a deadly flesh eating virus). I get it, LSD is not for everyone. But to say that it causes 'flashbacks' and 'persistant hallucinations' is patently false, and this is painfully obvious to anyone who has adventured outside our mundane consciousness.

    The notion of flashbacks and persistent hallucinations is bullshit and only perpetuated by people who have never tried LSD

    Ketamine works on the brain completely differntly thatn LSD does, Ketamine is a neuro tranquilizer. If you really want to try some 5th dimension shit and step up to the big leagues of hallucinagens try dimethyltryptamine or DMT. Check this video out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grcqs9cDuN8

    Man, those were the good old days, when acid was plentiful (the 80's). I really miss taking acid.

    Clearly you are just hanging our with the wrong (or maybe right, depending on how you view it) people nowadays. Trust me when I say that its plentiful and powerful as ever. Although you have to give it up to the pioneers such as Owsley "Bear" Stanley (RIP) for expanding minds and universes. This demention shall never be the same :)

    It's hard to put that up against a generation who has a lot of instant gratification when it comes to their experience with anything technology related.

    And I had to walk uphill both ways to school... Some of you are proposing you spend 20 minutes with the kids speaking down to them from an ivory tower, using such words as "scary", "don't", "can't". If your aim is to turn off kids to computer science that is a good approach. Yes it is true, you must work hard and display patience. This should not be news to them and if they don't embrace this at some point they will not be successful at anything. So lets not pretend we are special.

    You can tell them that computer science is not an elusive club. That their story does not have to include TRS-80's and main-frames and being geekier than the next. Given the time allowed and audience I'd speak on higher levels. Such as computer science is really fascinating because it is constantly evolving, as such you are constantly personally evolving. New challenges keep things fresh and create a wonderful sense of satisfaction. Tell them about what makes you successful in computer science, and be passionate and positive. I trust that if you do this both you and the students will wish you had 20 more :)
