My dad taught me to read himself, and as soon as I could he was teaching me how to use a computer. First the simple stuff like having to type in the commands at the DOS prompt to get my games, and then into more detail as soon as I could learn.
I'm always reading books for fun and education and I'm living proof that computers and literacy can go hand in hand.
The only reason I'm good at math is because I used software tutors. They are more patient than people, you can use them at any time, and if you get bored or tired, you just turn the computer off.
Although I didn't need it I imagine a reading course would be just as effective.
Taking computers away would increase teacher workload, and people (like me) who have chronicly bad handwriting would just get hit with rulers like in the days of old.
With the PATRIOT act, I wouldn't be surprised if the DHS started catching people for various crimes using keyloggers. It is only a matter of time before big brother is among us.
They say on the site that the system is nothing new. But their piece of equipment is certainly a lot easier to install than any other system of that type.
Well, Kerry conceded, but could he still win? At the time of this writing, Ohio still hasn't called in, (Bush-254 Kerry-252) so it is still up in the air.
What if Ohio called in for Kerry? Would he win? Or is his concession legaly binding? Or does Ohio simply stop counting?

And yet federal money can't go to stem cell research? I'd rather my tax money go to that than a stupid war....
It's made entirely out of dark matter? How will that affect my force points? I can't be really evil if the entire galaxy is dark!
