First exposure was basic but I wasn't programming just typing. really taught myself to program in Logo with conditionals, loops, procedures in 7th or 8th grade. And then Pascal and ADA in college.
Our early programming experiences are dictated by the tech when we first start.
For me it was basic on apple ][+ in K-6 and then logo.
The real learning began in Jr. High when I wanted to do more than draw on the screen, and had to figure out how to get user input, and how to use procedures/functions.
Later in college I nearly quit programming due to a bullshit pascal course that was way to heavy on computer history, with the repeat I got lucky with a professor who didn't spoon feed us, but gave us enough so we could figure things out.
Those lucky enough to have gifted teachers/professors and/or who have the fortitude to put in the work will definitely benefit.
My school district provided early exposure via apple II computers. They showed up one summer with an extracurricular summer workshop and then one to two per classroom, and a computer lab in Jr. High. And while there was an Atari computer at home, I basically had all of my meaningful early exposure to programming via the school district, and the teachers who were willing to spend extra time learning about and then sharing how to use them. Starting at probably age 8 or 9, I used basic and then later logo. The logo continuing off and on until 8th grade when I was using functions/procedures, getting user input, redrawing the screen, etc. By 8th grade my programming was beyond the scope of the curriculum or programming knowledge of the teacher. These skills then lay dormant for 4-5 years resurfacing in college with the first two years of CS course work. Which then led to computer support employment and then high end systems/networking employment.
It is impossible to attribute my skills to nature v. nurture, but I believe that any meaningful early exposure to computer languages, problem solving, or independent exploration of programming to solve a problem or provide something new is a worthwhile investment.
Hate to be the one to point out the obvious... but the solution is not in changing the meat it is in reducing and/or eliminating the meat. A very large part of world has done very well for a very long time on limited or no meat, eating beans and rice, lentils and rice, and tofu and rice. Meat requires vast quantities of water, creates vast quantities of waste, and is a huge caloric loss if you are feeding the animal grains or other foodstuffs that humans can eat directly. Beef being the worst offender for water use, and pollution.
Actually I think their claimed 'prototypical inventor' was just involved in patent litigation, not specifically involved in litigation with intellectual ventures.
If you do anything to correct the situation, you are reinforcing the bad behavior, and it will continue to happen with greater frequency.
You actually get punished more for trying to do the right thing.
You should just delete them, mark as spam, etc.
From a behavior stand point you would want to avoid reinforcing the behavior, and possibly also identify a way to punish the behavior -- one could do the wrong thing and publish them online, which might be a punishment (while probably technically legal, this behavior could increase the frequency with which you interact with lawyers).
In my case, someone has the same name modulo middle name, and his gmail is one character more than mine, so I get a few of their emails a month, at first I tried to respond to the sender, or forward them along, but it just kept happening so I now I delete them or mark them as spam.
The station(s) go offline, and service personel come and fix it... parts of the network going offline is not an unusual event. Unlike the 19th century tech, these packet (plastic canister) routed pneumatic tube systems lack humans at the core of packet routing.
From a volunteer's point of view at a non-Stanford hospital, the IT integration was less than stellar. Maybe Stanford has done some work in that area, or maybe this is just astroturfing by a pneumatic tube company.
You're probably not using a Mac or you'd already have an airport extreme...
If you're linux compatible you should check out mpg123 as it can take a playlist on standard in, and it can buffer n bytes of music. In the man page they suggest that a one meg buffer is about six seconds of delay, so that's one way to give yourself some tuneable delay...
mpg123 will also let you send the output in pcm or wav to standard out... and then you could make your own software based buffer before handing the music off to the sound card...
If you're using Windows, I guess we don't have much to say to one another...
You should get about 30% of your calories from fats, and since fats have 9 calories per gram, and carbs and proteins have only 4 your should get about 14% of your food by weight from fat.
Fat free foods often make up for the lack of fats with sugar. (a tasty but generally worthless food). Can you say sugar crash? diabetes?
Just get off the caffeine and sugar, and cut your calorie intake down to ~1500 per day, and exercise regularly.
(Every 3500 calories equals one pound, so if your weight is stable and you cut your daily intake by 500 calories (40 ounces of soda pop) per day, you'll loose a pound a week!)
Everyone should go to Cal Poly Pomona just to take a programming class from Laszlo.
Some kids hated him, because he wouldn't write their programs for them... Some profs at cal poly think computer science is a typing class, others think you have to write 4000 lines to demonstrate that you understand data structures...
Laszlo's lectures were relevant without writing the code for you, and those with half a brain did well and love him!

I tried to switch - but firefox was too slow - I'd end up spending 10-30 seconds waiting for it to do something?

The balance sheet of the 10Q shows that without the SCOsource licensing (a.k.a. law suit) they'd be breakeven instead of 3.5 million in the whole.
Your body needs fat.
