    thanks for that insight. I dont really use bsd at all (only thing we get to use unixy is sco for a large library system) - mainly windowscentric where i am based (huge microsoft contracts) so we rarely get to play around with other os's :-/

  8. Bright Futures Program on Building Social Skills in Gifted Youths? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    At the primary school i teach Learning Technologies part time, we have a program for the gifted (and also the ADD cases), where they develop programming and engineeering skills using the lego mindstorms development kits. I give the kids an intro to the concepts of using the mindstorms software (and a bit of physics/mech engineering to boot!) and then get them to build devices which can solve problems. Last year's project was for the students to develop their own mars rover with built in sensors (so the thing can crudely navigate on its own) and a lego webcam so they get to see "live action" of their work. In conjunction with that program i developed a closed sourced application (sod i know but hey this is way to valuable to give to anyone considering there are schools wanting it already!) which uses the mindstorm kits to have a mission to mars simulation (from launch to the end of the mission where the rover has done its "scientific work"). The kids (12 years and younger) were really into it and enjoyed the program to boot. They also got to experience what teamwork was (with the ability to correct flaws in their programming live!) and how to deal with problems. I set up a mini mars landscape with different objects like rocks and "craters" which actually proved to be an interesting thing as the kids found ways to get around problems!

    This year when i run it, ill be sure to have it running more smoothly (as i ran it for only 2 semesters for the first time) and hope to allocate some more funding for extra parts from my "budget" ;-P

    Hope this gives the original poster some idea's as to what to do with a little bit of creativity.

  11. the sooner on Verisign Considers Restarting Sitefinder · · Score: 5, Interesting

    they take .com and .net out of verisign's hands the better. Its just unfortunate that this will misinform new people AND generate more needless traffic because of the returned page. Did the search page ever have preferences to certain websites? or was it truly independent? If i typed in server software would it bring up xxx penis extensions because some idiot put in metatags or would it bring up true results?
