As afraid as the telcos may be, I think that they still have a strong foothold both in the wireless phone world and the fact that there is never enough bandwidth.
With a phone line and broadcast/cable tv, there is never a bandwidth problem. The TV station can send their signals over the air and from that point anyone can recieve as much of their programming as they want. As we start routing everything over IP, we had better hope that new technologies emerge to provide guaranteed connection availability and bandwidth because nobody wants their Desperate Housewives to be laggy.
the clit mouse is very ergonomic. It is not as precise for most people as a real mouse or a touchpad, but you do not have to leave the home position to use it.
In the realm of laptops, apple is the way to go (if you can afford it).
As a linux user, he probobly has at least a desktop on linux and I would suggest he keep it that way. The desktop can be fiddled around with, adjusted, etc. Now for his laptop, he probobly wants something that just works and works well. No settings to mess with if the wifi hotspot isnt working, no problems you cant deal with on the road. Apple laptops are great machines in all respects (the only PC laptops that come close are IBM) and when you are using it as a portable system, OSX is going to present less problems.
then the school really needs to do a better job convincing them that they are in the wrong major.
If you dont enjoy your major, get out of it. What I think is really cool about schools like the University of Chicago is that they force a fairly wide spread of classes on their students and then dont let them formally declare a major until end of their sophomore year. This forces many a student to discover new things and pick something they like.
Well none of it is really new considering there were plenty of instructions when I got my 83+ in 7th grade. They even prompted me to try to overclock a little 4function calculator...it kind of worked; the screen was sometimes a little garbled but the big square roots were slightly faster.
Not that I would do something like this to my beautiful TI-89...its amazingly difficult to find one in a store but I really dont like the feel of the titanium's shape or buttons (especially the arrow keys).
Boo TI for getting rid of the bombproof black case in exchange for changable faceplates!
The good part is that the judge didnt unmask the identity (or the threat of that action didnt stop the person) in order to deal with the case.
Even if it's clearly not defamation, it would have been easy for the judge to have forced the identity to become public (or atleast revealed to the plaintiff) before deciding that there was no case.
But the high beams instantly kill the drivers vision while they shine (from front or into mirrors) while he is participating in what is already a very dangerous activity. The pilot could afford a few seconds without vision (hell he could get up and do a dance)
maybe not the credit card companies, but if you use a check card that functions as a debit card rather than a true visa (even if it doesnt say, check with your bank), then you had better believe that they are tracking it all.
Remember, this is at their school which means they probobly arent paying for the space and as a school fundraiser they may be able to get donations in the form of LAN hardware
I think the biggest problem soon becomes serving up the games if they arent used to it.
You will always find that most students swing towards the left. We did this exact thing (and a few other tests) as a class and even the kids who would support bush if he wanted to invade france ended up to the left of where they should. The key becomes that they hold their parents beliefs on a large scale (and thus support a specific party) but on a smaller issue based scale, they swing left in many ways (excluding those topics that have been widely politicized). At that stage in life, even those that will end up to be strongly conservative often do not fully understand the implications of their answers.
An example would be the sex question. I know a lot of stupid people who would definately consider themselves strongly right that would answer the liberal way. They are teenagers, of course they will go for sex. An example in the opposite direction is the free trade one. If you dont know what is meant by free trade, a highschool kid will definately say "hey its a free country so it should be completely free trade."
See the problem with this news article is that I dont know what it it is really for.
I mean I know it appears to me that its about ReactOS running on the xbox...but then I realized that the existance of ReactOS is the real news. Something running on the xbox is amazing but...where is the slashdot article for reactos?
The spice cabinet is another place for RFID tags-- I have a lot of spices, including many obscure ones, and I'm too lazy to organize them in the very large spice cabinet. I'd like to be able to pull up a list of what's in there to compare to recipes.
But once they learn how to bypass it, you know they are probobly doing more than wasting time on AIM and are now actually learning some decent points about computer security.
Maybe it will pay off in your favor to let them use it once they figure out how to get around it.
thats probobly because the people ending up in federal prisons tend to be scrawny nerds taking part in interstate fraud and the ilk while any large man named bubba who tries to rob a gas station ends up in state prison
Thankfully it is MOSTLY used to display graphs rather than hold hands...but it still amazes me when people cant enter things into lists or find intersect points...
It pays to learn how to use the calculator. It will speed up the process and will definately improve test scores when you understand what it can do for you.
I cant wait until half the class is in awe when the teacher shows them that the calculator is capable of finding the derivative at any point...

A MythTV PVR isnt so hard to make for the slightly above average user and is a great excuse to try linux.

I am sure that the early records were set with more than a watt even though decreasing the wattage wouldnt have a linear effect.

Just wait until the IRC kiddies start using IE because it is badass..."s417 f00 I's 1337...I can stop the v1ru5"
But he hit the nail on the head with doublespeak, just look at the right wing policies on how they even speak about "global warming"

Hey! That's not oregano.
I'm sure that you will find a lot of xbox owners who wish that gran turismo 4 was available for them.
They will make sure your ping times are in the mediocre range for gaming and offer your old ping times to people willing to pay an extra $10 a month
It would be awesome if OO.o had a better viewer for slideshows that wasn't just acceptable but was actually usefull.
Why is this?

Other than that you can introduce them to gaim :)
