Don't teach things in 'the abstract'. Give them a task to accomplish that needs particular 'features'.
Then the next 'task' adds more 'features', but doesn't drop the earlier ones learned.
And don't make the tasks abstract either. "do a bubble sort" would qualify as too abstract. While "collect 5 client names from the user and sort them" wouldn't.
I do. for the reason you state. In America we are already under surveillance 99% of the time. Sometimes its commercial ( like that camera on on EVERY building ) or government ( the stop light camera ). And that doesn't even begin to cover 'data' surveillance that is done with credit card purchases which is even more invasive..
Now, that said i don't think we should stick our heads in the sand as there ARE really people out there destined to kill us. But that reaction needs to be rational. And sticking cameras on innocent people is not rational.
its not meant to disparage anything or anyone. it is to demonstrate how relative things are depending on who gets to write the history books, and to make people think.

- Accelerate to your target speed quickly. Spending time slowly accelerating up to it wastes fuel.
So when i was a kid, burning rubber at WOT leaving stoplights i was actually saving on fuel use. cool ! :)
Traditional engines use less power ( thus less fuel ) to keep a car going over a certain speed.
Cars are geared for higher efficiency at certain speeds.
Problem is its all car dependent, with factors such as the age of the car tossed in. ( and what was the limits when the car was produced )
Just declare GPU's a munition ( like supercomputers are ) and restrict access/require registration.
Then incorporate chip level DRM/TPM so only 'approved' applications can run.
Hey, its for the children, right?
Need to include ' its a trap'..
after looking i see this... haven't tried it yet.

But their revenue is still increasing, and they still have a stranglehold on the majority of the market.
No support for PPC OSX any more, or is it just delayed?
Better? Every large city in America is like that. Good ones and bad.

Terrorists take a wizz too, don't give them any ideas.
I still remember a time when you got charged if your cell phone RANG... Not that you answered.. just that it connected at all.
Regular mail will be charged for as people move away from SMS.
Its working so well for comcast and their customer screwing, it was just a matter of time before the practice spreads.

Sure *we* learn about it quicker, but what we need is the average American to hear about it.. and understand what is going on.
Until then, *we* will just be pushed aside, and added to the lists.
Are just terrorists if they are protesting "the state", right? If you are not with us, you are against us!.. Free speech be damned!
And people call us paranoids silly for worrying about slippery slopes and governmental corruption.
You know only terrorists need scientific information.
You are making the assumption that nothing will happen in the future to make currently acceptable, moral, lawful behavior illegal.
Yup, that is a big danger. What you did totally legally yesterday, gets you on a watched list tomorrow.
Don't ask me how i know :(
I think we lost the fight already.
If its not apparent by the summary, then too bad.
Personally, i don't care if its illegal ( which it is if you break the encryption to do it ) to back up my own DVDs.
Marking rules todays world. If you can convince enough people black is white, it really is.
Too bad VSS wont work.
But its not open souce, Microsoft still holds the copyright on the actual language schema. Implementations may be, but not the language.
While would be a bad PR stunt, they could pull it at any time. ( unless things have changed recently )
