If this were common practice there would be no need for p2p music swapping. People could get the music they want so cheap that the idea of sharing just wouldn't seem worth it anymore.
and a lot of those types of games. Eventually my dad moved me over to duke nukem and bunch of other weird 2d sidescroller games.
If you want them to learn programming, I'd say start with html. It may not be object oriented (as everybody is friggin obsessed with) but they can see the results immediately and it only takes a month to memorize all the basics. Then you can move them on to css/dhtml and javascript. See, HTML is a gateway language!
Free stuff. if everyone who attends gets the option of walking away with a free cd, I dunno, maybe OpenCD 2? Granted, in high school I would have known about something like that because I'm a geek but it's still free and that would have meant something. Show something about making digital music. Most people love music, and being able to play with a music program like Reason or Fruity loops would have been interesting. I learned C++ in high school and even though most high school kids arn't programming proficient, anything that makes most semi-nerdy kids seem more "l33t" will probably go over well. Ivolve the process of making digital movies or something, just be creative; and have free stuff.
I usually have trouble retaining information I get from the internet/pdf/whatever document I'm reading. I'm one of those people who does better when they have something physical in their hands. When I do find something online that I want to know, I usually have to save it and go back and read it several times over before it finally commits to memory. Maybe lots of children have this problem.
I don't know if you've noticed or not, but people have been trying, and it's not working. We still have the DMCA, the PATRIOT act, and a few other legislations coming our way that are not being blocked. As long as the RIAA, the MPAA and the democrats have all the money, nothing will change; unless we riot. I say we riot. L.A. good for you guys?
you could not patent ideas. I mean, you can patent the design of an engine but you can't patent combustion. These guys didn't create updates, nor menus, and combining the two isn't so much as a creation as it is an idea. I hope the judge throws em on their rear before they make it to the stand.
Yes, we were all disappointed by Revolutions and Reloaded because they weren't clones of the first movie. HOWEVER, if they had been seperate movies unrelated to the first with modified storylines 99% of us would ooh and ahh over them as great sci fi. Heck, if reloaded and revolutions were combined into one movie as they were originally intended, most people really wouldn't mind all that much because together they would compare to the original. I'm sorry your minds weren't blown and that some fan stories had better plots (the twins should have been virii) but what's done is done. Try and look at it as you would the Illiad or the Odyssey.
The first was when lightning hit my kvm switch and fried two motherboards.
The second was when I plugged in my new case I recieved for Christmas and it killed 3 hard drives.
Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (which we've known about for decades) and they were simply hidden/moved before we invaded? Come on guys be logical here. A nutjob dictator who gases his own people most certainly had something nasty to throw around. Maybe our government wasn't lying, maybe those were conjectures and they just turned out to be wrong. However, I'm still leaning more towards the weapons just being moved.
that Microsoft, SCO and the RIAA keep calling despite our requests for them to remove us from their lists. Let's see, $11,000 a fine multiplied by 3,000 slashdotters and if we each tell 3 people to call, that's $99,000,000 per company. We could slashdot microsoft w00t!!
Slashdot Mirror

Ok, nobody complain, just download while it's legal.
THANK YOU!!!!!. I only know, maybe two people on my entire campus that know how to listen to a podcast, let alone how TO podcast.
What geek is really worried about the broadcast flag when we already know it's only a matter of time before it's cracked?

Pay attention when we point at the car and yell car a lot.

that we don't have to develope Windows based programs any more? Asta la vista VB, wait, now I'm back to being a wannabe programmer. ^#$&$ it!!
Since when have inter-library loans cost money?

Man, I've never had any problems in Best Buy with pushy employees. Usually I just can't find one.

Avant Browser or Myie2? I havn't had any problems with either of them.
whether Visual C++/C# was supposed to be like VB where you draw stuff out, or is MS just trying to confuse me.
You could use RealBasic. http://www.realsoftware.com/
