    Start with bitwise operations, like AND, OR and SHIFT. Then advance to ITERATION, BRANCHING and LOOPIING. Lexical and semantic analysis come next, then you're ready to write your first language!

    A couple of weeks ago, a caught a red flash in my right eye. I quickly realized it was a couple of kids sitting at the bus stop across the street playing with a laser pointer. I got to my office, from where I could still see the bus stop. We called the cops, told them which bus, they intercepted it and scared the living crap out of the kids. They were only 11; a year older, and (in Canada) they would be charged with assault. The after-image lasted only about 15 minutes, but I'm going for a check-up anyway.

    Strongly agree. The pulse is a function of the arteries, not the heart, and has a lot to do with neuro-electric fluctuations. (Not a Doctor, but hung around a drug store when I was a kid.)
