Chess for Kids?
·
· Score: 1
just pick 2 or 3 favorite apertures to beat the kids at school with them. Mine are Queen Pawn (Cole's system), the 4 knights aperture, and the Scicillian defense. They're fun:)
by Irving Chernev. When I was 8, I learned chess with that book. It's fundamental to know the apertures, and this book teaches them by explaining each move.
You should also buy her a book on endings. Apertures and endings can be memorized. Then it's up to her to do the difficult combination stuff and taking into account the possibilities yadda yadda.
Software is fine for practicing the combinations and helping her develop her deduction abilities, but without theory, she's a thousand years behind.
While at the same time keeping them in their current status? If they're more efficient, they get paid more. No need to go to a position you weren't trained for.
When you look at the value you're getting, $50 or so for a game is reasonable. Many games will give you months of entertainment.
Yeah but a game with less than 30 hours of gameplay isn't worth $50 or more. I'd buy it at $10, which incidentally, is twice the price at the flea market.
The real problem is that the entertainment industry are a bunch of greedy bastards just like the RIAA. They keep all the money to themselves, and exploit their employees. And now they're telling us WE are the greedy bastards?
does that mean porn is also the cause of all spyware and viruses on the net? Because I've heard most spyware and viruses come from "low reputation websites".
Yeah but in those times, it was just "I shoot you, you die", not "I shoot you and watch as " (insert graphical description of a man's death, with guts and everything).
That's JUST what came to my mind when I was playing Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, and stopped to admire the surroundings of the "Garden Forgotten by Time". It was beautiful. The floor that resembled an old mansion's garden, the textures, the vines on the walls, and the plants, along with the classical music, it had just a "wow" effect on me.
I wanted to stop playing and just walk around that garden. That game is DEFINITELY a masterpiece of art.
One particular mark about a (wo)man of science is that (s)he keeps wondering why things work.
Leonardo wondered what people were made of, and he came up with great tomes of anatomy (he wondered many other things, like why birds fly, etc., but you get the idea).
Newton wondered why things fell to the ground, so he came up with the law of gravity.
Einstein wondered why when falling one couldn't feel his own weight, and he came up with the theory of relativity.
Pasteur wondered why people got sick, and he came up with vaccines.
Scientists always find a question and search for the answer. Their curiosity never stops. This is why teaching science shouldn't be about giving kids information, but giving them questions. I remember professor Jaime Escalante (in the movie "Stand and Deliver") taught the students: "Negative times negative equals a positive". And then he punched them with the question: "Why?"
A great mistake of teaching science is that teachers don't let the students ask questions. If instead you give them interesting subjects (artificial intelligence, for example) and practical examples (build your own speech synthesis program with this toolkit - ok, that's more appropriate for college students but you get the idea), they'll progress.
If science appears boring, it's because all you see is someone thinking equations. But dig into his mind and visualize the data he's thinking about... that's another thing science is missing. Sometimes it's much easier to understand something if you can visualize. This is why astronomy is becoming more popular after the Hubble photos.
See, it's all about awakening the curiosity of your students. That's all they need.
I was thinking if there would be some device that could "store" the cold (like storing the heat but viceversa) of the office buildings at night, and release that cold during peak hours...
Perhaps we could use water containers with pipes connected to the air conditioning or something. Who knows...
Considering most of the vulnerabilities exploited in "computer crime" are Windows flaws, we could say that by switching to (insert your distro here) we could save the licensing costs, PLUS the computer crime related costs.
(Disclaimer: Yeah yeah, i know this is slashdot and I'm probably not the first in mentioning it yadda yadda)
Sheesh. It took them what, 15 years to realize that they needed to DUMP backward compatibility to become efficient? *cough* 640K barrier *cough*
What strikes me is that only when they begin losing market share to AMD, they begin to search for design flaws (obviously they don't have time to waste in x86 emulation when they're falling behind)
No better way to divert attention than to trying to shut down an international site. I'm REALLY sure nobody will know, from now on, who Boris Floricic aka "Tron" is!
By the time this service pack is released, Linux will be far more user friendly so more people can install it without hassles. With any luck ReactOS will have reached a stable state.
I really think that with every delay, Microsoft is digging its own grave deeper and deeper.

Supposing you're hotmail, if your customer e-mails someone, automatically add him to his "safe list". Ta-da.
There ya go :)

the savings are more or less the same, therefore companies with less budget have a greater percentage in savings.
In other words:
People with less money have more reasons to go open source.

"Microsoft products!"
Well done, kids! You get an extra point today!

"One Bell to web them all!" Hmm...
"And in the darkness Bell them" No, something's not right...
