Don't teach how to remove viruses. That is a moving target. Teach how viruses spread though specific examples. I think cross site scripting (XSS) is easy to teach them once they've done a little html authoring and had a little javascript programming. For this socially networked generation it applies to stuff they use EVERY hour of every day. A few of there were probably hit by that mouseover twitter exploit a few weeks ago.
You can run an intentionally vulnerable server such as mutillidae to practice the exploits.

Read up on current exploits at http://owasp.org/
The future needs people to know how to not create exploits, and patch the ones they do. We don't need more IT "next clickers" who only know how to run third party solutions.
For me it's a matter of music I know versus Music I don't.
At my job as a software developer for a sales company the office is always loud. So I need music to drown out people discussing there projects in the cube next to me, or sales ringing the "I just closed a deal bell". I find instrumental music of all kinds great for blocking the background noise. If the music has lyrics I need to have already heard the song a few times otherwise I get distracted by the songs lyrics. I don't mean to eavesdrop, but without headphones I get distracted by ever conversation in earshot.
If my boss said no more headphones, I'd need to find new work ASAP. It would be too frustrating otherwise.
So anyone else think it's a matter of music you know versus music you don't?
well some really cheap sensor ideas shared with me by the YAAARC guys at the con was a laserpoint fixed in relation to a cheap webcam. the lower the dot the closer the object.
survey quality GPS is out there and commercially available. it can get resolutions in feet and inches. it is rather pricy for a user but ORPP is for consultants.
Our current motors require a gear reduction to take real advantage(9 tooth ->16) then (9->60). if not your prototype may charge off at and un managable 15-25 mph (at this stage anyways) and good luck stopping it with out something taking damage... hopefully nothing important.
well I'll consider 2 wheels when I see video of a segway style bot in the woods.
you are right about the carpet with our current wheels. however we built the ORPP1 for outdoor applications with heavy loads. lower friction wheels would have been useful durring the con. Outside the building we got 2 inches of snow this weekend at Penguicon and our chassis cover isn't done yet. I didn't think we needed indoor wheels since the previous weekend was like 80 degrees. (Michigan weather...) I'll have outdoor footage of it performing once finals are over.
I have. I even like the idea of a zero law.
a human being has the right to end their own life. a robot may not stop a person from doing so as long as it does not harm another person physically.
got the idea from Prime Intellect
Socialism will start to work when the robots produce so much the value of items approach $0.
There will bew no rich men, and if the rich cling to there factories, then yes the poor will get poorer. What happens when the poor get so poor they simply can't survive? the whole system comes crashing down violently.
So we have a choice. embrace the power of unlimited labor via robot, use it to help feed the planet, communicate with the rest of the planet, and hopefully come to terms that the fact we are all
HUMAN
. and in this together. OR the Ruling classes will hold back the technology to better them selves till the masses will eventually rise up and overthrough them.
remember the US dollar is based on faith in the US. if the people stop believing that the US is doing things for the good of all it's people the dollar will become a figment, a number with no meaning.
The winds of the next great revolution of thought is growing nearer and nearer.
