Game programming with Blitz Max was the way we went. There is actually a book called Game Programming for Teens that gives you some lesson structure.
BlitzMax also has a C++ SDK, so you can graduate to that at some point. But as a recovering C++ developer myself I can't understand why you'd want to do the poor kid that.
So he chose to buy a computer with Windows pre-installed even if there are dozens of places that will happily sell one with another operating system, and then demands a refund.
We use it to sync webfarm filesystems in Server 2008 and it works perfectly. At least in 2008 only file changes are sent across so it is very efficient, even for WAN scenarios.
Taylor is an advocate of a white ethnic consciousness to be modeled after the ethnic consciousnesses of other minorities.
Ie. He's a racist trying to appeal to the educated masses.
Prisoners are not, and will never beb tolerant members of our society. Even if we can eliminate racism from our communities, we will never be able to do so from our prisons.
Ok Sigmund Freud, how many years of studying the physchology of the incarcerated did it take you to come to this conclusion? Or did you managed to get all the emperical evidence you needed without having to leave your mother's basement?
And the prison environment is certainly not the kind to foster increased understanding of other races.
And why not? Prison may be the best place to start.

Jared Taylor is the worst type of racist.
He doesn't present extreme views like the Nazis. Just the "thoughtful" and "intellectual" separation of races, all for a good cause.
Slashdotters, don't buy into this, just look at Jared's articles at amren.com for more info on this joker. In no time you'll see what this intolerant bastard is all about.
Should we separate men and women because of sexual harassment at the office? Should we separate the young and elderly due to age discrimination?
Choice quote from Jared...
There is no such thing as "multi"-culturalism; only mixture, dilution, inauthenticity, and - ultimately - destruction.
Jared may be writing about a serious topic, but that does not make him any less of the absolute loser that he is. Prison rape is a terrible, terrible crime that shouldn't happen to anyone other than bigots like Jared Taylor. They, on the other hand, should be passed around the cell block like a peace pipes.
That is all.

We need a standard that specifies the transport of the calendar protocol, badly. We need CAP finished.
The special folder in IMAP scheme will work. But is a little on the hackish side, and incompartibility between servers is a serious problem, even with standard formats, like iCal based schemes.
Next we need a cross platform messaging server. Although, it does not support IMAP as yet, Apache James is my favorite, at http://james.apache.org. First of all it has a strong group endorsing it, the Apache group. That's going to be important for selling this thing to risk-adverse corporate types. Second, it's Java, so I trust it a little more in the buffer-overflow department. Also it would probably integrate nicely in current J2EE setups. I've heard people are doing this.
James needs IMAP and CAP support. And then we will have a decent shot at the less entrenched sector of the exchanges market.
I've been working on it from about Nov'02, and was pretty much trying to keep things on the down-low until I had a proof-of-concept to show. You see, ironically, I did this to not have yet-another-vapor-project out there:)
The a simple connector plugin would not have taken this long. But I've decided to take a solid stab at solving the root problem, that is, an extendable MAPI message service, and the tools needed to program for/with this set of MAPI providers.
First part of the Message service, is the message store. That's the DLL in MAPI responsible for actually saving your mail to the filesystem, amongst other things. The second most important service provider, the transport service provider, is responsible for sending the mail off, basically.
I've been focusing on a sub-project at http://sapimapi.sf.net.
Don't let the stats put you off, I've been putting a decent amount of hours on this one ( sf.net CVS stats are broken right now ). This testing utility has a built in scripting language, and common MAPI routines, to make it easy to configure the behavior of MAPI clients for testing the service providers. I also intend to fit in TNEF routines and info on much of the undocumented MAPI properties I've collected from/at various places. The testing utilitly is early, early alpha; I have the language lexer/parser done, and I'm working on the built in MAPI library calls. Extended MAPI from C# is a bitch. Funny they forget to mention stuff like that in the brochure.
Open source connector will get done soon. I've heard of at least one other group working on the problem. I suspect it's only a matter of time till one of the unprofitable companies, selling a MAPI connector, releases it as open source. There are a lot of them.
The important thing, I believe, is that we get a complete extendable toolkit, that would spark the continued development of extensions. Eg. address book, chat, voicemail, etc.
NT has actually the same type of deal. The dll that does the password check is just a generic password filter provided my MS, you can replace with your own. I wrote an NT password filter that catches the username and password of a user whenever they change their password and sends it to a an external program registered in the registry. Use it to keep Win2K and OpenLDAP server passwords in sync, http://acctsync.sf.net
but the external program could obviously be anything.
As usual, it's just that windows has a pretty GUI ( which should not be discounted btw. )
I fail to see how you're any more dead if the man who kills you hates all people of your skin tone, not just you.
Not quite. The law rightfully takes something else into consideration...
motive
A woman kills her husband after years of abuse, (but the case was not self-defense) and a woman kills a total stranger because he is gay. Should they be punished the same way?
I don't think so. We're not machines, every case is different. The law should provide guidelines to judging a case, but in the end motive has to be considered.
Why perl? For a wider pool of potential developers I'd go with C. For a nicer language to work with, I think Java would be better. Somehow a scripting language seems slightly inappropriate.
But if you're going that route you may as well help out phpgroupware.org ($0.02)
it's interesting that the W3C's effort should get so little attention.
I agree with you Timothy. But why isn't slashdot doing it's part and using *correct* HTML. Or at least have a "proper HTML only" version to show standards support.
I agree these things could happen, as they could happen with any console, but look at indrema's potential!!
I must admit, that when I heard the prices of this generation of console (~$300), I figured I wouldn't get a machine. But after hearing about indrema, I'm all hyped and ready to get one. why?
(i) Hack value!! could you imagine the stuff you can do with a modular open-source game console!!
Is it be impossible to build a PS,xbox etc emulator for indrema?... software library tweaks and upgrades, etc. I'd bet someone will have this thing running apache+php and serving websites in no time : )
(ii)Linux gaming. If indrema gets *any* support from the gaming industry ( and that depends on the support they get from us, the consumer ) then the effects will be that linux will be more support as a gaming platform. Think of something of a spill-over effect. If you're into linux gaming, you should get an indrema
(iii)By looking at the hardware specs, the indrema seems like a pretty solid game platform
Sure, it's not the *safe* platform to invest in, but think of the potential of this system.
With a little support, Indrema could do to the gaming console what linux is doing to the software industry.

Oh, and Microsoft is being unreasonable.
Interesting logic....
So what exactly is the problem?
Microsoft has released software under the GPL because they had to before. For years now actually, since they distribute the Windows Services for Unix.
Do you think other companies that comply with the GPL do so because they like the license?
Also look into Windows DFS.

Openoffice is seeking to address this. This may be of no consequence for someone needing a solution to today, but I thought I'd mention this.

Java is a RAD tool, C is a programming language.
For a nicer language to work with, I think Java would be better.
Somehow a scripting language seems slightly inappropriate.
