Apparently these people have never seen the huge list of links that Google removes from their search engine due to request/legality. There are literally thousands of links to child porn that they have removed.
So many car companies are intent on making plug-in-abble cars, but if electric cars become the new thing, we'll have to stop fuding hydrogen engines and dump all of our money into a thousand new nuclear power plants or fusion research.
Oh, that said, the schools are pretty much worthless. Every time I went to the computer lab, it generally consisted of me getting done ultra-fast and helping everyone else -- including the teacher -- with computer problems. -_-;
Anyone remember the story about Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds coming true? There were crows (or ravens, I forget) that started attacking cars, and now are attacking people in some small town in England? ^^
Well, I'm 16, and I had at least decent experience programming in college. (To make a long story short, I was home schooled, IUPUI has a program that allows you to take any college course for dual-credit, so I started going at 13 and graduated early.)
I think I started off at around 9 or 10 years old. My interest mainly started with screwed around with Counter-Strike config files. I eventually learnt HTML, and I started messing with mIRC. I made a pretty extensive mIRC script, no dlls or anything, but a lot of mIRC programming. (I even made a program that captures images from my still-image local weather radar, and then saves up to 10 of them, and animates and loops it. It even refreshes every 2 minutes!)
Eventually, I downloaded Apache and started with PHP.
After that, I took some computer courses in Java (ick), and decided that I like programming as a hobby -- not a job.
The point is, I at least knew how to program. I didn't know how to program in anything like C++, but once you have the basics of programming down, it's not too hard to learn a new language. It mainly just has to do with memorization of functions, and whatnot.
I don't know if I'd be considered a "kid" by this story, but incase I am, we're still out here.:-)
I think, unforunately, that just most scientists are just like normal people. Science is and always has been about questioning everything that we know, and always asking why. Unfortunately, when people come along with a different viewpoint, people don't have an open mind about it, and they tend to think that what they know is absolute, and it couldn't be any different....And that is why every few hundred years, there is a scientific revolution, because everything that everyone has been suppressing becomes too overwhelming to suppress any longer.
Dangit Slashdot, you've just misreported to millions of consumers with your false story. An Ubisoft employee on IGN (Had a "Ubisoft VIP" title -- all users with " VIP" titles on IGN's forums are confirmed employees of the said company) said specifically that it "is not a rail-shooter.
because unlike instant messaging, you don't have to deal with it NOW. Someone can send you a business e-mail, and you can leave it there whilst you think about it. With an instant message, or some other instant-communications, you have to stop what you're doing, and deal with it NOW.
No we don't. We all lose no matter what, as owning one means not owning the other, and thus losing out on whatever products there are to own on the other.
And the only reason that some players will play back both is specifically because they want them to play back both -- not because it's easy or the formats are similar. It's just like the DVD players out now -- the ones with a VHS slot and DVD slot. They have the capability to play back both because it's conveniant, not because it's a simple matter.
They haven't said anything, nor mentioned anything in the past, about the ability to bid on items. I very much doubt they will make an online auction place, albeit they could very well eventually rival half.com -- just not ebay.
Ack. I forgot to make it plain old text, or else I'd have added br tags. Here it is again.
----------------------
I have always grown up with videogames (I've been playing the NES since before I can even remember), and with that came the natural (natural for me, at least) interest in computers.
This has definitely shaped my future for the better. I am probably more proficient in computers than 99.5% of the world (that translated to 20% of Slashdotters?). That doesn't mean that, like most people, I know all kinds of patterns to do things. That means that I am generally proficient with computers and technology. I can use a brand new program or machine, and already have the hang of it within minutes, whereas most people would have to take classes just to learn what I would have learnt in half an hour.
I'm 16, now, and I've been taking college classes for three years (though this is currently my third fulltime (12+ credit hours) semester), and I can pretty-confidently say that technology has not affected me in any negative way (alright, maybe my eyes aren't perfect, but hey! I don't have to wear glasses.. yet.).
That said, to answer your question, over the course of my years from and inbetween DOS, Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, AOL 3.0, broadband, etc, etc, etc..., I've used these programs a lot:
Adobe Photoshop Anvil Studio (midi-making program) MS Sound Recorder (programs>accessories>multimedia) GAMES.
I've always been a big fan of SimCity, Civilization, and Half-Life and Counter-Strike....And no, I've never gone on a blood-thirsty rampage because of Counter-Strike -- and I started playing at age ten! (My parents didn't really have much to do with my computer life, and I'm glad. It would have held me and my learning back. Online forum communities are what drove me to learn to use Photoshop, and I've always been a good 10 years more mature (mature-er? o_O) than anyone else my age, though that can also be contributed to my sister and brother, who are 6 and 8 years older than me, respectively.)

I think that cars like these will be essential in the gas-to-hydrogen transition. I don't think people will buy hydrogen cars if they can't fill up anywhere, and no gas station will offer hydrogen if no one will buy it.
A hydrogen/gas hybrid will definitely help that transition.
Anti-intellectual? The US is more pro-intellectual than it has been in a very long time. It's finally cool to be smart, to an extent. If anything, the pendulum is only just beginning to swing back in our favor. It may not look like it now, but we just need to give the pendulum more time.
What happy world do you live in? I'm 16 and have been going to college for three years (I decided to be homeschooled after 7th grade after dealing with roughly 5 years of non-learning in public schools. At that time, we discovered that IUPUI has a dual-credit program in which you can get high-school AND college credit at the same time, thus enabling me to pretty much take high school in college.), and I can tell you now that it is NOT cool to be smart.
If anything, Japan is a much more intellectual place. In Japan, if you bring down the class average, you get beat up. In America, if you're put in advanced math you get beat up.
The parents ARE idiots if they listen to Action News!...Has anyone played Chibi Robo(GCN)? Doesn't it just sound like a perfect fit for Space Hunter Drake Redcrest's intros?

The We network is doing just fine. Why? Because generally, their viewers aren't immature dolts.
My 2 cents.

I hope you correct your mistake with an update, because you've just posted biased lies about the Revolution, and crushed thousands of peoples' hope.

We used to have them all over my area all the time. Seems a bit odd for them to be flying around New Palestine, Indiana.

Now how about we sue Mitch Daniels for going against the people and going against hundreds of years of history by forcing us to have DST. >_>

Darwin wasn't the first guy to come up with evolution, but we laude him for it.
Nintendo may not invent the concepts, but they definitely execute them well, and introduce the concepts into places that they have never been before.

I think the fact that the all-powerful Reggie Fils-Aime enjoys it confirms that it is not in fact a childrens' toy.
Don't forget that those stylus' are mighty good smelling. One might just want to stick it all the way up in there.
Through a bunch of fancy work, I got a firefox-working link.
L aunch.asp?clipid1=682347&at1=News&vt1=v&h1=Nintend o+DS+System+Warning&d1=210267&redirUrl=www.WPVI.co m&activePane=info&LaunchPageAdTag=homepage
http://ww2.wpvi.com/global/video/popup/pop_player
For me, it tries and fails to load a popup window, and then the actual video loads in Windows Media Player -- the non webbrowser one.
Ya, they link to the same page (as opposed to using #), and then use an onClick to call some javascript that pops open the video player.
. asp?ClipID1=682347&h1=&vt1=v&at1=News&d1=210267&ac tivePane=info
It was a pain to take apart their javascript, but it only took a few minutes. I actually got the link to the video, but the video player itself doesn't even work in Firefox. Heh.
