And the way to make sure there is a large group of programmers who can use the language? Make the language & IDE simple and powerful.
When I started to learn Java using NetBeans, I was shocked to find that there isn't a data aware 2 column combobox widget readily available. What has to be one of the most commonly used widgets for desktop programmers, a dropdown that displays a string and returns an ID number, isn't available.
VB has that widget as a standard. There is a reason why there are more lines of VB code than any other language and it isn't because of verbosity.
You should look into getting some computers donated. Companies are always looking for ways to get rid of old equipment. Call some of the schools in your area and ask them if there are organizations that take these computers, fix them and then donate them to the schools.
If you've discovered a way of getting billions of dollars of funding without having any clear objectives, please contact me privately at yeahrightwhatever@gmail.com.

Why would you want to sit in front of a computer all day when you could get out of the office, eat at nice restaurants and stay at nice motels on expense account?
How is $80+/month for 2 phones and 500 minute competitive? They pay next to zero for each marginal phone.
Now if it was $10/phone unlimited, then I could see how you may say it is competitive.
But if you go to Obama's website and read his official position on the whole issue, you will see that he is just rewarming rotten old Johnson policies. He wants more quotas and other infringements on the Right of Association.
If you elect Obama he will appoint people that think like Wright, Jackson, Farrakhan, etc.
I think the attitude of most people is IE works and is already there. Loading Firefox needlessly introduces another variable. Added variables yield more risk and more work. They don't see there as being a sufficent payoff for the added risk and effort.
That's a very naive view. (The rant about corporate criminality diminishes you and makes you sound like a commie.) But, to the point, a lot of this has little to do with breaking laws or justice. Often times it has to do with one person's view of right and wrong versus another's and can somebody convince a jury to award them cash. If you follow political processes at all, you can see how easy it is to demonize any individual or group for innocent actions.
Then there is also the classic tactic of "you might beat the rap but you won't beat the ride".
On a far lesser scale, there are a lot of things one party doesn't want the other to know just to avoid hassles and save hard feelings. You need to go into business for yourself sometime and see what the reality is. It isn't as cut-n-dry as your average desk job.
People who eat a high protein and fat diet, may lose weight or stay the same weight, but it isn't because you get free calories. It's because the body can't keep muscles on without sufficient protein, and nearly all of the protein ends up being broken down to make up for the fuel that isn't being absorbed from carbohydrates.
But you just said "calories are calories".
The net result is an individual that has substantially lower muscle mass and substantially larger fat deposits for their weight.
Where did you come up with that jewel? That has never been shown in studies or anecdotally.
Even when people do gain more weight as a result of a high carbohydrate diet, it isn't because carbs are dangerous or bad, its because the spiking of the blood glucose levels tends to make people feel hungrier when the subsequent drop occurs than they would otherwise be.
That sounds pretty bad to me.
Carbs also are frequently found with things like water and fiber, and if one gets those two components along with the carbs, the likelihood of seeing an increased hunger is much less likely than if one is eating sugar for food.
What, like white bread, sugar and potatoes? Oh, you mean like soda pop? You know, soda pop is that stuff that just adds calories without doing anything to decrease your appetite?
I think you need to read the latest. http://www.westonaprice.org/splash_2.htm
Everybody says "Eat fewer calories and you will lose weight" but no one asks the question "How is caloric content determined and does it apply to digestion?"
The fact is that burning food in a closed bomb bears little resemblance to digesting and absorbing food. The figure of 9 calories per gram for fat is great if you are burning it, but it doesn't necessarily translate that that is the number of units of energy that your body is extracting from it. Our bodies use energy to process everything we eat and some foods require more energy to process than others.
ETA: The type of exercise he is talking about is excessive exercise. Running marathons, etc do more harm than good. People who exercise heavily are statistically no healtheir than people who don't exercise at all. Moderate exercise seems to be best.
Cholesterol doesn't clog your arteries unless you are suffering from inflammation (most of us are) and low carb diets have been know to normalize weight since at least the mid-19th century. William Banting published a book about this way back then. William Banting

The plain fact is that you can eat more calories without getting fat when those calories come from fat and protein. This has been known for hundreds of years and was even documented in the 1800s.
They are quite aware of the mayhem that can be produced with gasoline. They are working on eliminating it by replacing it with vegetable oil, diesel, battery power, etc.

But whoever leaked this should be eliminated anyway if for nothing else more than providing intelligence to the enemy.
Do you realize that someday you will lose that silly game of chicken?
You could be dead right.
No, your only choice is to get out of the way!
Why is this so difficult? Do you really think you are going to change anyone?
I've never, ever had disgusting filth like that emailed to me either.
That judge is a disgusting perv who collects that garbage.

Happened in Cuyahoga County. It was Kerry voters.

Everyone knows that only a Christian Republican would do such a thing! (Well, except for Gore)

Democrats aren't supposed to do this sort of thing!
Hehe. Yeah, they are going to take care of your healthcare too. Haha.
