The audio versions are superb. They use a full cast and have won all sorts of awards. I rented them from www.storytapes.net. You can also hear clips online.
String some resistors, colored wires, LEDs, etc. on ear wire to create geek chic jewelry. I've seen some really nice stuff that would even appeal to non-geeks.
Freeze-dried astronaut ice cream, available from NASA, science museums, or camping goods store. You could even include a note about wanting to travel to the stars with her/him.
Mills College has an intense computer science certificate program for people who already have a bachelor's degree in another field. See http://www.mills.edu/PUBS/CAT_GR/nhc.gr.html and http://ics.mills.edu. Students from the program have been admitted to computer science PhD programs at MIT, Univ. of Washington, Univ. of Virginia, etc.
I am currently the director of the program and would be happy to answer any questions.
This first installment focuses on Frodo (Elijah Wood), the Hobbit, who embarks on a quest to destroy the One Ring before the evil Gandalf (Ian McKellen) can get his hands on it.
I believe that outlawing strong cryptography is foolish since "the genie is out of the bottle"; i.e., anyone can write their own strong cryptography system. Here's a purely academic question: Do you think the world would be a better place if strong cryptography did not exist?
Mills College, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, has a longstanding program targetting the same demographic: bright people interested in computer science with a bachelor's degree in another field. After completing their studies, graduates go on to computer science graduate school, industry, or teaching. Like ADU, there is a strong MIT influence. (Half of the CS professors at Mills are MIT graduates.) Visit the web site or contact me for more information. While the official deadline has passed for Fall admission, I may be able to get strong applications considered.
The Underdogs provides downloads and reviews of the best underrated games for PCs and other platforms. Particularly relevant is their Hall of Belated Fame.
1. Decades of activism: Barbara Simons has received the highest activist awards (EFF Pioneer 1998, CPSR Weiner Award 1992).
2. Leadership: Led the ACM (president 1998-2000) and USACM. Of all the nominees, I think she has the strongest proven ability to deal effectively with committees and opponents both in and out of government.
3. Computer science expertise: She has a CS PhD from Berkeley, has held senior research positions, been made a fellow of the ACM, AAAS, etc.
I wrote a flame detector back in 1995 that appears to be more sophisticated than the Eudora one. See the PDF, PostScript, or HTML versions of the paper I presented at the Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence (IAAI) conference in 1997.
My husband and I have a GM EV-1, an all-electric car, which we love. It has great acceleration and sufficient range (about 120 miles)for commuting. Usually, we charge it in our garage, but we've also used public chargers, such as the ones at my husband's workplace (NASA) and at Fry's.
Mills College in Oakland, California, where I teach, has had programs since the mid 80s to teach computer science to people who already have a bachelor's degree in some other field.
In one program, students take computer science courses and then go into industry or CS grad school. Last year, one student went on to graduate school in CS at University of Washington, another to University of Virginia.
Another program leads to a MA degree in Interdisciplinary Computer Science, in which students take computer science courses and do an interdisciplinary thesis combining their old area with computer science. We've had some really interesting people come through.
While our programs aren't free, we do offer teaching and research assistantships. As at MIT or ADU, your teachers will be from MIT and comparable schools. (Like philg, I'm MIT^3.) Unlike MIT, classes are small (generally fewer than 20 students).

The DVD includes the cut love scene.

It was an integral part of my costume, second only to the printed circuit board motif. See sexiestgeekalive.com or go straight to the picture and explanation.

There is an informative FAQ on the case.
Mills is single-sex at the undergraduate level but coed at the graduate level.

I'd like the Aquatic Pod Suite from Hammacher Schlemmer. It only costs $91,100, and that's including the Bose stereo and diesel generator.
For my thesis, I created a Web query system called ParaSite. The best introduction is the paper Squeal: A Structured Query Language for the Web, which I presented at the World-Wide Web Conference. Anybody is welcome to use my code, algorithms, or ideas.

Some reasons to vote for Barbara Simons:
1. Decades of activism: Barbara Simons has received the highest activist awards (EFF Pioneer 1998, CPSR Weiner Award 1992).
2. Leadership: Led the ACM (president 1998-2000) and USACM. Of all the nominees, I think she has the strongest proven ability to deal effectively with committees and opponents both in and out of government.
3. Computer science expertise: She has a CS PhD from Berkeley, has held senior research positions, been made a fellow of the ACM, AAAS, etc.
Konrad Zuse built a programmable binary computer in 1941. It even had floating-point support! You can read about it in English or German.

Thanks for the links to my documents/sites on gender and computing. The most comprehensive site is actually The Ada Project.
