Wwell it seems longhon keeps falling behind schedule, and Microsoft keeps cutting back features to keep the same release date. Maybe Longhorn will be another Windows Me, just something to hold everyone over until they get another release out.
Isn't this pretty much already happening now? With the advent of cell phones and even home phones that allow phone book storage, this already happens.
Those numbers right now still have to get there somehow. You go Add Entry, type in the number, the name, and store, then forget the number. He means that phone numbers will not be stored on the phone itself, like it is now, but will rather be an address accessible by everyone eg www.Laxori666.phn =P
Furthermore, searching still needs to be improved. Some people from Yahoo! were saying that google currently only covers about 2% of the web pages on the internet, or something.
Actually, during the Prohibition, people who never even drank before started going to bars and getting flat-out drunk. It caused a sharp increase in alcohol consumption... see anything related?
But the fact is many of those prisoners have American blood on their hands, and many families here in the US will not see their loved ones again because of it.
A slight problem with your argument: most of the Iraqi soldiers that were tortured were innocent. A lot of them were just in an area that something bad happened, and they were rounded up with the rest of them.
QBasic is what I'm teaching my kids as their first language one day. It's simple, the screen is nice (mm, blue), and easy graphics:
LINE (0, 0)-(10, 20)).
QBasic -> C -> C++ -> Python -> ?
Start programming at 8 with QBasic. Ask your parents who know how to program about it, have them teach you if/else, arrays, subs, etc etc.
You can fiddle around with that for a while. It also has very direct access to graphics, and you get gratification once you start using graphics mode.
Then, learn C using C for Dummies, the greatest book in the universe. Then learn some C++. Then anything you want. Python is pretty great =).
Whatever you do, don't learn Java before C or C++... it's evil.
Well, maybe this isn't the best way, but its the way I did it, and I turned out fine =).
Lord help somebody that learns to program using Java. It teaches you the worst programming practices ever, including using classes for everything and never cleaning up after yourself. I think that before anybody learns to program in Java, they should learn to program in C++, or another OO language, first. I don't like Java.
Python is an interesting choice as a first language, I've never had that idea before. Personally, I learned to program with QBasic when I was around 9. THis could be a disaster, but I had help from both my parents, which are programmers, and they taught me about arrays and loops and subs, all those things. And then of course you have to switch from that to a real language, like C++. QBasic also makes graphics incredibly easy, which makes it great to learn as first language, as graphics are... just so much nicer. Instant gratification.
QBasic isn't really available on everything. But its a far, far better first choice than JavaScript. JavaScript is also pretty incredibly unstrucutred... I don't know. I feel unsafe when writing javascript.
Python is pure brilliance =). I told my dad's friend, "Python is this new languages, OOP and scripting." He shook his head and said "when I was young we learned FORTRAN and COBOL." =P
So yeah, QBasic if you're under 13, and python if you're over =P.
What's crass and pure outrage is the fact that CBS refused to display that ad about the federal deficit from www.moveon.org... I think people should be more worried about _that_!

the same way big farms make money selling corn and tomatoes.
I myself use acrobat reader 4.0 . It loads about 1000x faster than 6 or 7 which are huge and bloated. I haven't had any trouble viewing pdfs yet.
"whether people have 7 children or are sworn bachelors"
What if I have both?

Dont you hate those wpm measurers that dont let you press backspace to correct a zord youve already typed? i absolutely hate that.
Sorry I put no apostrophes Im on a french keyboard and cant find that key (no kidding)
A country such as Romania =(. Hopefully the situation there will improve.
LOL at the bottom it says "This site is in no way endoresed by Apple"

"Did he get down and dirty with the compiler and look at the generated assembly code? No, he did not."
Did he get down and dirty with the Java compiler and look at the generated byte code? No, he did not.
exactly what i was going to suggest! Go to Romania! Good food, pretty women, nice people, what more do you want.

Could it get any easier than:
alert("Hello World");
Yeup:
CLS
PRINT "Hello, world."
