I did this in 1995! The media didn't publish me.

I solved this problem back in '95 for a High School Independent study project in Pascal programming. I even tried to get my results published, but didn't get any response from the outlets that I sent them to. I've still got the paper (printed from a wonderful dot-matrix printer)!
"I hope they can agree on a bus. I don't want another bus standard war."
The bus isn't the only thing I'm worried about in Intel and AMD's future. Look at both of their 64-bit processors. Intel is going with VLIW, and AMD with their x86/64 technology. Guess what this means? Different binaries for both types of systems. Who wants to compile for 2 systems? - some folks do for a while, but it will be a war, and someone will come out in the lead...

I was one of those school children, in 5th grade at the time. The things I remember from the live reporting was not talk of dispair, but rather talk of the scrambling around to find possible survivors. The discussion in my class of Religion, accidents, etc. was intense because of this. People learn from this, and become stronger individuals. No one can truly grow without someone / something challenging what you thought to be a truth.
The claim that these images "disturb a generation" is someone just trying to be too much of a shield from LIFE! I'd rather let my kids watch that type of reporting, rather than see all of the fake violence on today's TV shows. There is reality, of accidents, mistakes, war - then there is staged, scripted smut and violence all over today's TV that I am amazed from.
