Basic is so far removed from the hardware that it is difficult to explain. I've found C easier to teach than more abstract languages. Try explaining how a GUI button works in the context of "a computer is just bits right?"
K-5 that is ages 5 through 10. I think some abstraction is definitly in order here.
I volunteered to read to a 2nd grade class (figure about 7 yr olds) for National Day of Reading. The kids were bright and inquisitive, but then I had to explain that as a Photonics major I work with lasers, and what lasers were.
These concepts are just too much at that developmental stage. Find something fun with just a little bit of insight into what the job entails.
Well if you consider it though, government funded academic projects would have to fall under the BSD license. Corporations pay taxes, which among others fund acadmeic institutions. So any work derived from their tax dollars would need to be accesible to them, and the GNU license is to encumbering for them.
I found that http://freedownloadmanager.org/ fits the niche exactly, for what I need in a download manager. Multipart, resume, etc. And it integrates with firefox!
I remember someone came up with the idea of a satellite that reflected and focused the suns light down to the earth, and used the thermal energy that way to prodcue hydrogen, I see no mention of that here.
The parent article is noteworthy in that it may be a new technique for seperating the hydrogen, but honestly, I think it is exciting the hydrogen molecules with heat, instead of electricity, but this is the same method.

The point I think people missing is that this exposes the spectrum to market fluctuations. This means that if one company aggresively takes over another company they can decide to use the spectrum for something else. Then all of the consumers who have invested in hardware will have obselete hardware.
Software defined radios wll ameliorate this problem, but I don't expect to see those rolled out for quite some time. Once widespread adoption takes place, then we can relax spectrum licensing.
Well, from what I gather with this steam thing, you won't be able to play it, unless the servers are still running.
So does this mean, that if the servers go down, not in the far future, but while the game is still popular, we are entitled to a percentage of the purchase price refunded?

Basically, the only way you can view the Schmeiser decision as unfairly pro-Monsanto is if you believe that genetic modifications should be inherently unpatentable. (Which is not necessarily a silly position--I'm not sure I don't think that.)

It just so happens that my "Intro to Speech" textbook had an example outline, with some great info on this subject.
Here are some links to both research and justify spending extra money (if neccesary) to secure natural lighting, or other appropriate lighing.
I wish I could include the full outline or transcript of the speech, it really has the numbers needed to justify to the beancounter, but I'm unsure on the (c).
After taking a look at Paketto back when he wrote it up, and now taking a look at his work here, I think I've figured out his MO:
1. Surround self with RFC's for core internet protocols.
2. Ingest large quantities of something very hallucinogenic, yet not very legal.
3. Give the RFC's the Fruit Fucker 2000 "rode hard and put back wet" treatment.
4. Put together a group of proof-of-concept tools that make intelligent people who have worked in networking for years say "Shit, just when I thought I knew this stuff!" Oh, and profit.
RTFS(tory): The only built-in feature unsupported is the internal 56 Kbps modem
Now I can understand being too lazy to read the article, but the relevant information was actually in the story submission.
You, sir, win THE PRIZE.
I can't believe no-one commented on the the humor of the fact that some company was able to hack the bleeding edge 3D visualzation (autostereo) hardware, yet a winmodem still kicked their asses.
Breaking a contract is not necissarily illegal
Yes, it is. We even have a term for it: "breach of contract."
That's not a criminal act, that is a civil offense....

I'm using it, I believe in the installer it had the option to integrate with FireFox. But this was some months ago, so I do not remember.

I am using version 1.1. There is some talk that the latest version 1.5 now has spyware. This makes me very sad.
There is a forum for the software on their website. Spyware and FF integration issues are discussed there.
