If the allegation of Sweden paying Cambodia, for them to body snatch a single person, - Gottfrid Svartholm, - so that they can then "deported" the guy back to Sweden - We would know what will happen to Mr. Julian Assange when he step on Sweden's soil --->
Mr. Assange will end up be "sold" to USA, just like Mr. Svartholm was sold to Sweden
Why would a sane "grown up" expect a kid to be a perfect programmer?
Oh, a lot of grown ups want their kid to be perfect in each and every way
May be you are lucky, that you have a pair of very lenient parents. Not everyone is as lucky as you, though
And I wouldn't expect any more from you anyway. Your so casual use of cuss words "asshole" as if that's what you have for breakfast, lunch, _and_ dinner everyday
What is it with this fauxbama shit? There's tons of real policy issues to critize the guy on, why do so many people like you insist on going after fairy tales?
This is not about fauxbama, this is about that so-called " Space Frontier Foundation" being so partisan that they actually criticizing the GOP for praising NASA - as they put it "nothing but hackneyed praise for NASA at the meantime, was no where to be seen while Obama was doing his so-called "outreach program" targeting people of ONE RELIGION
What about the people of OTHER RELIGION? Don't they deserve any attention from NASA?
Why that specific religion and not other religion?
Why is that so-called "Space Frontier Foundation" said nothing about the ludicrous attention on people of one faith over all others?
Or is it a case of political correctness running out of countrol??
If ever there is a case of "fairy tales" it was from that "Space Frontier Foundation", definitely not from me
Or are you saying that NASA Administrator Charles Bolden is a liar ?
Obama has instructed Charles Bolden to "find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science... and math and engineering"
I apologize if what I have said causes you to be confused.
What I actually wanted to say is that it is too early for a 6 year old who is unprepared
As for my kids, I prepared them since they were 2 to 3, to deal with simple logic, and until I can see that they have acquired ability to solve simple problems and find other solutions on their own that I started them, at age 5 or 6, with LOGO
But for kids who were not "pre-programmed", I am not so sure 6-year-old can handle the programming course easily
The guy above you criticizes what I said as "the most stupid thing he ever read" and I don't blame him - for he has no idea what kind of psychological pressure a 6-year old can have especially when the grown ups want them to do this, do that, and expect them to do it perfectly
You gotta understand that kids want to satisfy grown-ups, they have that need to satisfy the grown-ups just so that they be loved by the grown-ups - it's like a "trade" - I do something for you in exchange for you to love me
And in courses like mentioned in TFA - if grown ups around the 6-year-olds have too much expectations, and if the 6-year-olds are not "pre-programmed", they may have a hard time dealing with logic, and that could put a lot of stress to the kids
Those kinds of stress could have a very deep impact on the psychology of a little toddler, and it could scar them for life
I myself is a victim of too high expectation of grown-ups around me when I was still a little boy, I am speaking from experience
Teaching programming to a 6-year-old kid is a little bit too early
The art of programming is not about programming itself. It's much more than that.
The person who does the programming must first have a grasp of logic, and it's not an easy task for a 6-year-old kid to grasp the concept of NOT, OR, AND, XOR and all those shits yet
Especially for a kid who is still in a state of "blank sheet".
If you want to teach a 6-year-old programming, you just gotta hafta "pre-programmed" that kid beforehand
In my own experience, I started to teach my kids simple logic when they were age 3 - simple concept of logic, away from all the computer jargon, in every-day-life setting
By age of 4 to 5 my kids could easily grasp why this thing won't work this way, and have the ability to think of new ways to solve (simple) problems by themselves
Only by then I started them with the good-old LOGO language
Putting a kid at 6-year-old through the programming routine might sound nice, but I am afraid of the unintended consequences - that the kid might be psychologically scarred for life
It is nothing wrong to criticize anyone, including criticizing the GOP, but I do find it very strange that this so-called "Space Frontier Foundation" criticizes the GOP for "hackneyed praise for NASA" while in the meantime, where were they - and I mean, that "Space Frontier Foundation" when Obama wanted to turn NASA into a "Muslim Training Camp to outer-space " ?
If you do not know what I mean... Obama instructed NASA's administrator Charles Bolden to turn NASA into a sort of "training camp for Muslims" via a Muslim Outreach Program in order "to ind a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science... and math and engineering."
If you do not know it yet, that famous " I Have A Dream " speech by Martin Luther King is not permitted to be aired anywhere, unless you can obtain agreement from the copyright owners
Just to be clear on one point.
That this historically important speech can be effectively banned (except for fair use) is disturbing. That it is effectively banned is almost entirely due to his highly dysfunctional family.
Talking about historical clip - we must thank NASA for not filing any copyright claim over (the late) Neil Armstrong's landing on the moon - or none of us could get to enjoy the "This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind " moment.
Back to Mr. King's famous speech -
Whether Mr. King's family is "highly dysfunctional" or not, it should have no effect on the airing of the historical clip, if not for the copyright laws
Right now, as it is, they - the "highly dysfunctional family" can keep acting out their "highly dysfunctional" behavior for a whooping 75 years after Mr. King's death because, according to the way the copyright laws are written, they have the whole right over that damn thing
It's not the vacations that have failed the students
it's the SCHOOLS
The school we have right now is a "one-size-fits-all" approach to education
No matter how smart or dumb the student is, he/she is put through the same threadmill-like system
No wonder so many students (and not only the students of today, students several decades back also faced similar problems) got so fed up and decided to turn off their brains altogether

A. Innovative company might not have good technology
B. Companies that have good technology might no longer be innovative

Now, it's in "Category B" and soon, it might end up be neither

By 2013, NVidia's Tegra 4 gonna be out.
It's rumored to have a Kepler GPU and run 10 times the performance of Tegra2, more or less the equivalent to the TI-chip the Blackberry is based on.

I am responding to the "fauxbama shit", not the "zoo" thing
Can't you read?
For a normal month of 30 days, you work 3 X 7-day-work-3-day-off shifts
I worked construction for a few summers after high school -- 12 hour shifts weren't uncommon (on my feet the whole time)
Come again, buddy??
I worked in construction sites every summer during my college years, for I desperately needed money to pay for books and food and shelter
From scaffolding to steel framing high rises, never did I have to be on my feet for the entire 12 hour shift
Which job were you in, buddy?
What is it with this fauxbama shit? There's tons of real policy issues to critize the guy on, why do so many people like you insist on going after fairy tales?

How come we never heard from the so-called "Space Frontier Foundation" when Obama wanted to turn NASA into a zoo ?
Because he didn't.
Partisanship can only go so far, buddy, and when you cross the line you are telling a BIG FLAT LIE !

the venom from north korea and iran is real. just ask a japanese ....
Say what??
Ask Japanese about the Koreans?
For Your Information, it was the Japanese who invaded Korea multiple times throughout history
Not the other way around
What the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran are most interest on is not about malware
They are most interested on developing super-sonic anti-ship torpedoes ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VA-111_Shkval ) which employs Russia's Supercavitation technology ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercavitation )
Please list out the improvements that you think you can achieve, and then go do it
5 years in the future, remember to come back and tell us what improvement you actually accomplish
Throughout the years, a lot of people had said that they want to improve the existing system, and then ... nothing
It's not that those people did not want to improve the system
It's the system. It is so well entrenched and powerful that it can resist all kind of "improvement"
Turks hate Arabs because they think they're not Arabs - they think they're better than the Arabs.
Arabs hate the Turks because they think they're not Arabs and, though they'd never admit it, the Arabs think the Turks are better than them.
They both hate the Iranians.
It's jealousy - the Iranians got more brains than the two combined
Forcing kids to go through that broken system MORE WEEKS PER YEAR isn't an "improvement", no matter how you want to slice it

We have given up our rights and turned ourselves into slaves
They can "sell" us things and then turn around and sue us if we "share" the things we "bought" with our friends
Yes, that's right
They have the right to take away our money but we have no right to share
A pretty fucking deal we've gotten ourselves in
