"...as is any knowledge of any JavaScript libraries, because the author intentionally eschews them in her presentation"
Who goes on a rant about how terrible IE6 is and also intentionally eschews all the commonly used solutions? What a disservice to readers.
Honestly, I don't know a single programming who codes user-facing javascript without a library (like say jQuery) at this point helping you out with all the quirks and browser differences. It's pretty much a silly thing to do, and a massive waste of time for anything but the simplest scripts.
I agree with the comment about apples and oranges, but more specifically when dealing with kids you have to consider their attention span. If you show your son assembly language for his school science project instead of C#, is he going to be turned off because he couldnt do that little pop-up box trick he wanted to in 2 days?
If he's really interested in "real programming", he'll learn it. I wouldn't worry about some Visual Studio tool limiting his mental abilities, after all it takes a fairly bright kid to see the simplest project through by themself.
I wonder if these "smart" people have a higher incidence of erectile disfunction.
If thats true, it may give a new and profound meaning to the article title - "Smart People Choke Under Pressure"... because, well, if you can't get it up... you will be left chokin' that chicken.
"Those who don't even have computers, Joe Sixpacks..
You mean... Joe Arpaio's?
Actually, i hear Joe Arpaio does have a computer. He keeps it in a tent (as punishment for 'being too stupid to obey him'). It has no fans to keep cool with, so the thing pretty much bakes in the tent all day. Worst of all, he painted the bottom of its chassis pink, in some sort of strange humiliation attempt. One wierd, misguided man, that Joe Arpaio.
Define "terrorist act against US interests". Seems like a very broad term. Because of the war in iraq, we are killing our own citizens. Is the government commiting terrorist acts by sending americans to "war" and allowing them to die for a cause that most people really dont understand?
"We're at war, like it or not" - Right. Do you mean the "war" in iraq, or the "war" against enemies that we have already dismantled and disabled to the best anyone knows how in america? I'm all for uniform policies for searches and all that if you want. I have nothing to hide (especially not if i'm travelling miles and miles to an unfamiliar place), but if the "arab threat" is gone, why racial profile? Why act on information we don't have? Misguided assumptions based on the "character" of a person have never "won" a war.
The world is more complex than you think. Keep thinking everyone with brown skin wants to kill you - see how far that attitude gets you.
Try a basic interpreter. Chipmunk Basic looks promising, though i've never used it. Make slashdot the homepage in the browser. Be sure not to let the kids have IE - start them off right with Firefox. Finally - Bookmarks! Most kids will just mess around with the browser, so any educational bookmarks you leave will be a step for them in the right direction.

You're talking about the boobs, swear words, panties and nosebleeds right?

Yahoo (worried about Gmail stealing their email customers and looking for a sacrificial lamb to appease the email gods): "Bring us the head of Eric Head!!"
Eric Head: "But I'm like, sorry, eh? I just want to play in a band and rock out about how i was a spamming hoser to little kids. How aboot it, eh?"
Yahoo: "Ok. And you give us $100k."
Eric Head: "Greedy americans..."
Not only are they working on making you invisible, they're also working on
your cyborg/holo-bot. The pictures up right now got a right laugh out of me, but personally I can't wait until the day I can assasinate my enemies invisibly from a rooftop with my own Fonzie (from Happy Days) holo-bot. Ayyyy.
Nice. Just a few more university japanese courses so I can read the development manuals, a couple (or 80) grand to hustle up before the auction ends, and my ultimate goal of porting Mary-Kate & Ashley: Magical Mystery Mall to every system ever made can be realized.
I would have to agree. Any monkey can call a library function to read from a file, but the closer you can get to the actual hardware algorithm, the closer you are to being your computers absolute god. Don't leave it to Microsoft/Sun, they will rape your memory and pillage your hard drive space.

I'm to ASU in the computer science dept. (yes, we aren't all communications majors here. Shocking, isn't it?), and all of our engineering buildings give wireless access. Boo to intel for not sharing their statistics so I can hunt down every WAP on campus.

Somebody set me up the mod.

"Like Haruka's previous relationship with the professor."
It's there. It's implied, but it's there.

Brand the scissors with the following: On one side - "Microsoft". On the other side - "What would you like to cut today?"
