What's even better is that you can prove that. Kind of.
Tell anyone to keep a tally of how much they spend and how much they win when playing. If they tell you that you logic is flawed because they can win more than they spend... *dare* them to prove you wrong in practice!
The more they try to prove you wrong, the more you will be proving your point.
There has to be some sort of way to safeguard the buyer from undue taxation by private companies given the hours and the sweat and the blood and the tears and the extreme, extreme expense (in terms of time) that goes into making a decent salary.
If you want to teach PHYSICS, I recommend against digital circuits.
There is much more Physics to learn from Analog(ue) circuit design and implementation.
Indeed the first circuit I ever built was an AM radio reciever, according to instructions found on my school Physics textbook: "Physics for Today and Tomorrow" by Tom Duncan (IMHO the best Physics book ever)
The component count is very low, about 10 components... the most expensive and difficult to find? of which are the the ferrite core and the variable capacitor.
An AM radio receiver can be used to teach about electromagnetism, resonance, electronics, etc.
Students wishing to go that extra mile can attempt to also build an AM transmitter (this can be even easier to build.)
Had a backup server where I kept my data, the server had a mirror with 4 disk; each disk had a copy of the data I was working on. Data was written to snapshots on a mirrored partition before being commited to the main partition in order to avoid losing data due some server management mishap. Data was written on this server through CVS to have more control over changes to data.
Guess how I lost my data?
The server got knocked off my desk and slammed hard against the floor!
Well, if you showed me some dough I "might" remember sir.
Just imagine this scenario...
1) You have the blueprints and technology 2) Hide blueprints and "forget" about technology 3) Ask for budget to redevelop 4) Redevelop using hidden blueprints 5) ??? 6) Profit!
[Preliminary note: In the following text I use language and paradigm interchangeably. The reason is that programs are, more often than not, built according to the paradigms embraced by the languages they are programmed in.]
The paradigm/language chosen to start with is IRRELEVANT as long as the programming language used:
is easy to understand/read
comes with simple examples (not just syntax!) for ALL keywords/built-in functions
provides run-time debugging facilities(preferably visual)
gives warnings on common mistakes(e.g. using = instead of == in a boolean expression)
give understandable feedback when unexpected behaviour occurs (e.g. out of bounds access, integer overflow)
Also of equal importance is the IDE used. While many programming teachers seem to be concerned with the paradigm/language to use, I think that the choice of which IDE to use is equally important.
I personally learned programming using the Turbo Pascal IDE from Borland (Dos based). It has all the "features" mentioned above in a manner that is easy for a beginner to use.
Today I tend to recommend C# as a language since it also provides the required facilities.
With regards to which IDE to use I shy away from presenting VisualStudio to beginners, prefering to recommend the use of SharpDevelop instead.
Important: once a particular starting language/paradigm has been well understood... encourage your students to proceed with other paradigms and languages.
Well... if that kind of research happened we wouldn't know about it, would we? Read "TOP SECRET, EYES ONLY". There you go, do you want tinfoil with that?
At the young age of 12 I used to weigh about 110kg. My family was quite poor, and I certainly didn't have any pocket money, whatever I needed had to be requested from my father... so nearly all of the foodstuff I ate was supplied by my parents.
In story, it is my opinion that a child's responsilility of his obesity should be attributed to his family. I think this system is a great tool and should be used by all parents. However, negligent or strict parental diet control should be kept in check by authorities just as child abuse is!
I know the last statement might seem too far fetched, however, as a person who has suffered a lot of social, psychological, and physical problems because of obesity, I think that authorities should treat parents who overfeed their children on par with other kinds of child abuse. Overfeeding anyone who is not able to take complete care of himself/herself (such as children) is cruel and careless!

P.S. Thank God, now that I'm 27 I weigh about 10kg less than when I was 12. Weight is OK, but I still suffer the effects of my former obesity... I really wish some authorithy could have done something about it back then. Where's big brother when you need him?
A good number of people here seem convinced that a 1000 watt psu consumes 1000 watts under normal operation... whatever load it has attached to it!
So let's get this straight, if you replace your current power supply with this one you won't be consuming any more power than you currently are.
Sorry for all the other folks who know this, but I had to say that for the benefit of those who seem so (wrongly) concerned about the power efficiency of this device.

Hmm... but what eats can get eaten! I'd certainly want to have food available if I'm going to be colonizing Mars.
I'd also want to have some nice girls around in order to do that... but that's another story.

First of all ask him WHY he asked you in the first place.
Next someone will publish a paper on how talking faster makes it more difficult to the listener to spot logical incongruencies.
What's even better is that you can prove that. Kind of.

I want to tell the doctor to go go f*(k himself.
But I see that he already did.
Kind of.
I have no problem with others knowing where I am at all times, how much money I have in my bank account, how I spend my money, etc. ...
As long as I can check their same details!

Isn't that so Mr. Milman?

Yep,
Mirroring is not backup I agree.
Once I tried this at home...

There you go, do you want tinfoil with that?
IMHO this is the way things should be... individuals should not have to work because they HAVE to but because they WANT to.
I know the world's not like that, but shouldn't it be?
