I am no expert, just a fan of science on TV and this solution reminded me of a (I think Nova) program I watched about Global Dimming. Essentially, an effect of more clouds in the air caused by the heating of global warming and the by-product of jet engine exhaust thereby dimming the earth by blocking the suns radiation. This lessens the water evaporation on the earth's surface and causes days to be dimmer. All of which would be a detriment to the earth's ecosystem.

I think I have a little different outlook on this answer.
Relearning what you have already learned while getting your degree through remedial courses may cause this person to lose more interest, and, I do not subscribe to just picking up an open source project and learning it.
Instead, I believe investing more time learning different architectures or frameworks, and understanding how they benefit computer science or business. Examples being: Service Oriented Arch, Aspect Oriented Programming, Web framworks (Rails, Struts,...), gaming frameworks, et al. Having a thorough knowledge of these lets you concentrate more on building systems and not just mundane programming tasks. In my opinion, the people who know how to build systems are just as talented as the ones who can implement the complex algorithms. This also allows you to compare and contrast how these archs/frameworks are implemented in different languages and will make you more marketable when you go for that next job (which I also think you need to do) and may shed a different light on what you consider programming is.
It seems to me that Sun has been managing their business poorly with exception to the Java brand which has flourished. Why open source a project that obviously does not need help from the community ? If Sun were to to bankrupt then open up Java, other than that the language has survived just fine under Suns control and looks to do better with the advent of these moves. I would like to hear some reasoning where Java would be better open sourced instead of the lame complaining from the "everything should be open sourced" crowd.
As for dining...
I am a programmer in Columbus and know that there are a lot of programmers that like Beer (and I am talking real ales, not wimpy beers), I suggest checking out Barleys (http://www.barleysbrewing.com/enews1) which is a microbrew/restaraunt right across from the convention center.
Also the Elevator (http://www.elevatorbrewing.com/index.php) where the beer is not as good but the food is more upscale.
Hope this helps the people who want to grab a pint o' ale...
Does anyone know if this is an application like Super/Karamba that runs on KDE. The description sounds similar. And if so, does anyone know which of these two apps came first? Basically, who stole whose idea first?
To clarify.
What I mean by faith :
"Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing." -Dictionary.com
Since theory is used to understand more complex problems and systems one has to have the faith that the theories they use do not break down in the form of special cases. This is not a vain effort to use "doublespeak" (ex. "Religion is Science" vis-a-vis, reference to 1984). I am using the definition of faith as above. You on the other hand seem to take faith as meaning purely "religious". Not my intention. I am trying to say that not all science and religion is true and to believe something that may or may not be true is faith. People seem to think that it is a "bad word" to use when talking science; however, they would have to prove my intentions wrong based on my concrete definition of the word:)
Have to disagree on whether Jesus existed, though I may be bias. I believe even the Jewish sects believe he existed and that speaks volumes. Not proven, but enough documentation recorded about his life, even outside of the Bible, makes me believe he is not a "...myth, made up, story, fairy-tale...".
Glad to see there is agreement.
"It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever. "
Aside, if by "invisible" you mean dead then Galileo must be an "invisible" man whose teachings drive your faith in science. Catholics follow the teachings of Christ who was as flesh and blood as Galileo.
Please try to keep to the subject instead of quipping your profound and original witticisms about the Preisthood.
On subject, politics use the Bible as a scapegoat for their own needs. It is not to stifle science but as a re-election tool to garner votes from those who would like to stifle science with their beliefs.
Trust no one that puts all their faith in science and religion. Goodness knows scientific beliefs have as many factions as religions do and as rabid zealots as the religious purists. Trust those and please elect those who speak with wisdom and do not site their decisions based on talking to God or on unproven science.
And, please people try to be mature about the entire science/religion rift. Neither is ever going away so try to coexist and lose the egos whether for or against, b/c in too many cases both sides are wrong in many cases.

A business model based on a feature that can be handled as a plugin or update to Firefox and IE is not sound.
