Books like "How Stuff Works" are good to have around so they can read about a lot of random different things.
Having some video games around may get them interested in the field as a whole. Be a good parent and pay attention to what they play of course. Hold off on the GTA for a 5 year old. Sim City was a great game and made you think. A lot of simulation and strategy games would be appropriate.
I've seen estimates that range from 1.5-3 million once you start to include a wider variety of words. That still doesn't include scientific names and terms of course.
The "average" high school educated person knows about 20,000 words, and uses around 1,500-2,000 of them per week.
I would agree that most languages would have roughly the same level of expresiveness, but the manner in which they do so can be very different. Fo instance, take a language like Hungarian which has a near infinite number of words because of the extreme level of derivational morphology possible.
Perhaps it would be easy to simply move the cell phone away from the hip? Stick it in a shirt pocket, move it to be on your lap. Some problems are so easily solved without technology.
As for the MBA guy, well, I suppose you were lucky it was on vibrate. The prof or you could have mentioned something, especially in the exam. Otherwise, there will always be inconsiderate people, and technology can't fix that.
In case they ever want to expand the system? Instead of rewriting everything they could add features to the existing base. Percentile, more refined stars, some other thing? The space to store a vale of 1-5 compared to 1-100 is negligable, so you might as well plan for the future.
I'm sure the evil people working at the low levels of the company just doing their jobs had nefarious thing in mind. It didn't work very well either since they got screwed over. Simply working for a huge company doesn't make you evil when the execs did the wrong.
Palm is in the perfect position to build the device. They have all the tech to do it. Apple has the UI and design people around. With the current love Apple is getting there would be enough hype to get people to give the device a shot.
I was just surprised to see it live on, my username is the same on both sites. I'm white, but in reality I'm a minority in my life. I live in a mostly hispanic neighborhood, then I go to a diverse grad school, and I'm in the CS department -- which is very much non-white. I really don't see the point in even caring about race. Most of the people I see are pretty normal, except in CS, but that is another issue all together.
Excellent point. People always complain about how large files are, but unless you are shooting RAW you can fit way more shots on a CF card than a roll of film. Being able to go out and fill 2GB with 200 10MB photos is great. Even at $130 (Newegg) 2GB s pretty cheap. Especially when you consider that by the time you buy a roll of film and have it developed you are pushing $8-10 easily. It doesn't take long for the card to pay for itself in film.
I am almost 100% Safari now. I would say Firefox is better, but the integration with other apps makes Safari more usefull. I wish I could use Firefox, or Safari would add an "adblock" feature.
I would say that anandtech is a step above a simple "hobbiest" site. They have put out a lot of very good in depth articles on various technologies. Memory architectures, pipelining, various GPU things, and many more that I can't think of off the top of my head.
I'm not sure what my current university's policy is, but during my undergrad the punishment for plagerism/cheating was: Best Case - Fail the Course; Anything Else - Expulsion.
Exactly. I live in the real world. Well, a PhD program isn't the real world, but I've hada job since 16. The graphics were immersive and made the story compelling. Thats what I want in a game. If I wanted to see real people running around I would walk down to the street and chat up my neighbors.

Exactly. My parents always knew the parents of my friends at that age. They knew what went on, and it was their responsibility to do so.

Random fact: French has about 100,000 words. English has about 616,500 according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Many estimate put it much higher.

I'm not sure what happened there. Lets try it again: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~enron/

There is a large collection of email from Enron vailable online. It has been usefull for research in natural language processing, text classification, and data mining. Check it out here: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~enron/.http://www-2.cs.cm u.edu/~enron/

I do my best. It made my day also. I had been sitting in a lab for hours and was waiting for some experiments to finish up.

You stole my post from Fark word for word. I'm impressed someone kept it even.
Finlandia comes in a circular bottle. This one was square which made the board fit better I assume.

I think most people would view a website of pre-teen nudes i na very different light than that of someone's picture of their 2 year old in a bath tub.
Part of Speach Tagger -> Word Sense Disambiuation. It should work on a sentance like that.
It happens all the time. See: http://diggvsdot.com/

The cell shaded art in games like Zelda works well also.
An XServe Mini with full PVR features would be great. It could serve all the multimedia, sync, and file serve wireless (w/ wired as well of course).
Also, cooking oil will go rancid because it has fat in it. 6 months from now it will smell awful (assuming nothing grows in it first).
