I for one learned how to program on a calculator. Ti-Basic is found on all the Ti series graphing calculators, and it can get the job done for a variety of things. They might be a bit expensive, but they are required by most schools so it does not hurt to start early. One benefit of this is that it frees up the family computer. There may be some restrictions to programming on a calculator, but when the kid is writing programs that he/she can use in class, he/she will certainly feel ahead of the game. Another side benefit is that when the teacher asks the kid to add all the odd numbers between 1 and 2003, the kid can say "Screw algebra, I will bruteforce this."
The problem with your plan is that it would prohibit you from getting laid, thus leaving you with nothing "interesting" to watch. Then there is the fact that it would be incriminating if you did anything illegal. The 5th ammendment only protects the stuff stored in gray matter.
What really makes me angry is that they are trying to claim copyright on something that has been deemed to not even be a form of speech. This is blasphemy!
A super nova would be the coolest thing ever as it would light up a large area of the sky for about a year. But then again, a supernova might not be to friendly for all the aliens. Damn aliens, making all our fun into a giant guilt trip.

The cop on the street then yells, "Stop right there and put your hands on your head! I have reason to believe you plan to produce a deriative work of that piece of sculpture."

The ping is not that great. Assuming a turnaround time of 0s and lightspeed communication, the ping would take:
2*10,978Km/c =.073186s or around 73ms
That is clearly unacceptable. I DEMAND BETTER.

What is the ETA of the first rat Matrix? Are the dates coincidental? I think not!
