I'm highly cynical of the 'Being smart is for losers' idea. I even fell for it a couple of years and while my grades didn't fall, I didn't excel like I could have those few years. Many kids dreadfully fall for it, and propogate the culture. I have nothing against you. I was just trying to explain how burdensome the problem is. If you haven't seen it, good. Excel and try and be an academic ninja.
You're already interested in science, you say so. The author wants to know how to get kids interested in science that aren't already into it.
Lots of people are materialistic, like sporty cars, wants to be famous, thinks putting effort into anything is uncool, and being smart is uncool.
I'm glad you're into science and learning, people should dedicate their lives to causes like that. The author was looking for ways to appeal to kids that aren't into science already.
Even better is CrystalSpace, the open source 3d engine its written in. I was writing a MMOG in CrystalSpace, its amazingly easy how I got collision detection and 3d animation to work when I know almost nothing about linear algebra.
I've independenly worked on projects since 1993. I was trying to get the first MMORPG out. Imagine if it was tile based, and had adventures with a comical flare instead of just respawning mob killing.
Then I worked on a MMOG that was Tekken meets Online World. I got overwhelmed after a year of coding, and put it down for a while. I'll probably pick it back up sometime to have it done by 2020.
My current pet project is Transformers the MMOG. Its killer FPS meets RPG meets RTS. Aces are tracked and you have a kill sheet that orders by the top guns you've taken down. I honestly think it will be a multi billion, 20 year long running MMOG. I'm only a quarter way done with the design document. If Hasbro doesn't pick up the idea, they're crazy, but I'll post it on my online site:

Some people use this easily gained money to donate to the poor. Its a fun game. Go beat up a few dragons, sell magic swords, then feed some starving kids and build their infrastructure.
In real life, if you create a playground for kids, and someone gets hurt, you get sued and lose everything you own. See the war in skatepark culture.
The only recourse for people to meet is online games. Things in this new reality is really worth cash. The problem is, people haven't really made stuff *rare* and *desirable* yet in a game with a 20+ year long run. You'll see stuff going for 25 grand *all the time* once game designers get some skills. Its amazing with programmer and artist skills that game designers are still hacks. It really sickens me since I'm good at game design and can't get a job.
Not everyone has a desktop search tool running on their computer, I'd expect its less than 10% of users. Unless the virus writer writes his own search tool, this sounds like an unwarranted scare.
Then you run a program that compares your bookmarks to other people's bookmarks, and the closest 5 matches come up. Then you recieve the websites they have in their bookmarks. For the most part you may be getting nonsense, but maybe you'd find some links you'd be interested in.
Skate like a pro and win tournaments. Or else a swarm of evil, intelligent, killer bees will hunt you down.

I like to be INSIDE a 3dlevel when designing it. I haven't coded the technology, maybe never will, but the ability to 'dig' holes or 'raise' up the walls/floor, or place objects inside the level is CLEARLY SUPERIOR to 2d CAD level design.
Its like the car.
Maybe you have a great new idea for a transmission system.
But when the big companies have a patent on the wheels, engine, carb, exhaust, etc. You can't make a car to put in your awesome transmission system.
Whats even worse, is that it might not even be just big buisness. 1 person might have wheel patents, Another engine patents, another carb patents, another exhaust patents.
So we never see the advent of the car. It happened with radio before World War 1.
You allow software patents, and all you're doing is making it illegal for people to develop software.
I'd like to see a website dedicated to that. Do it yourself wind is probably really cheap, as the only component you need to buy is the electric motor. You can build the physical windmill itself out of scrap metal out of a junkyard or lumber. Then there is the problem of hooking the windmill up to your utilities. I theorized an idea that a box of batteries could be used that has plugs you can put your windmill's cords into. Then you could plug the box o' batteries into your home. You could also swap out the battery arrays for your electric car. But solid information on how to do this would rule.
As you take energy away from the environment, the net result is cooler temperature. There was a scientific article earlier(could have been Slashdot) where people woried that windmills would cause 1-2 degree global cooling if used for 100% of power.
Last I heard, there were already gigapixel cameras available. The problem is that they're not that affordable. We had one down CMU for the autonomous road race. I didn't do much on the project though and I feel bad about that.
Voice recognition and translations would be more powerful if the computer could imagine what you're talking about in context. While I bet you'll see grammar rules before AI though, I just like to see how many problems would be easier with AI.

My old phone number was: 4643. I'd tell girls for sex for free, and they'd say WHAT?, I'd repeat 4643, and they'd go Oh.

Since the early 80s in America
Smart = Unpopular
Why learn when you'll be branded by your peers.
If you want High School Kids to learn, you need to start earlier. And have a good plan.
No kid left behind acts are retarded and don't get at the core facts: Learning takes effort, and no one likes the smart kids.
Good Luck.

Copywrights protect code you've written. Patents prevent everyone from writing code.

You publish your bookmarks.
Then you run a program that compares your bookmarks to other people's bookmarks, and the closest 5 matches come up. Then you recieve the websites they have in their bookmarks. For the most part you may be getting nonsense, but maybe you'd find some links you'd be interested in.
Thus sayeth IT technical college.

I use IE but I only browse Slashdot and Yahoo.
For your parents who can get lost in the internet, Firefox is a great way for them to not pickup spyware while they're there.
Reminds me of the stories of people calling the police because someone stole their weed.
