I think my favorite part of the entire speech was when Bush was discussing social security and mentioned how legislation for it had not been passed in congress last year, and the entire side of Democrats stood up and applauded.

Our P2P music streaming service lets you browse through your friends' music collection and listen to songs without downloading any files.
It is like having a private jukebox with music that you actually like and where all the files come from trusted sources. You determine who has permission to access your shared music and you can set the quality level of the music stream. Music is either encoded the first time you play the song or can be streamed in its original format.
Imagine creating a private P2P network with ten friends that share music together. Each friend has one thousand songs on their computer and this means that you now have potentially ten thousand songs that you can listen to anytime.
pretty much the coolest thing.ever. too bad theres not many users. Found this website courtesy of StumbleUpon
Oceans 12 is a very complex movie, Its so easy to sit back and just watch, but if you want to catch all the subtlties then you have to pay VERY close attention.
I havent seen trinity
National Treasure is a very thought invoking, What If movie
Well First things first, I'm a high school student, a junior. This allows me to be pretty much disregard most peer pressure. I'm in the marching band, which, while still having a class hierarchy, allows for a greater interaction from freshman to senior. Its not uncommon AT ALL for a freshman to joke around with a senior. I am also a computer geek, mostly a gamer. Most people wouldn't think ( even when I'm wearing my Junpei ninj4 hoodie from megatokyo) that i am indeed a computer geek, being 6'2 and 180 lbs attributes to that ( tall handsome computer geeks with girlfriends, no way!) I'm not a computer nerd per say because i don't know how to code or program, or the standard configuration for hardware in your case, well mostly i don't know. I never feel ashamed o admit my computer geekyness, cause i know a lot of the higher up people in our damned school hierarchy. Having said all of this, this is what would appeal to me.
-Programing class
Even though we have a class at school ( 2 year class) that teaches basic C++ programming ( ill be taking it next year btw) its not enough for those of us who want to become proficient at programming skills.
Possible Solutions:
Have seminars promoting programming, don't be nervous when you do this. Be bold and ostentatious and you'll get more interest.
Offer a programming class on a weekly basis or even after school. Your company pays for half we pay for half. I would definitely invest in that.
Gaming competitions. Oh how many daydreams have i had in my PE classes the last two years of having a massive Lan Party in the School Gym. Oh joyous thoughts.
Club. Everyone loves clubs, at my school we even have a day where, at lunch, we have all our clubs out there recruiting. Have your company send out student leaders to start a C++ club. It wouldn't be that hard with a minimum of corporate sponsorship.
Robotics competition. Yeah how bout no scotty. I mean i guess it would be cool IF we had enough money to have really cool robots, and California is ALL messed up in the way of school funding.
After the programming classes have been in place for a few years or so, have a programming competition, such as the one Google has every year.
Well these were just some ideas that came up off the top of my head. And if you really want to train the next generation of programmers, start at the high schools, but a year or so after the high school programs are in place, set them up even more effectively in the middle schools, and the high school students while probably being more proficient in programming then a 7th grader, will feel pressured once Mr. 7th grader comes to high school. The high schooler will then increase is programming levels if he cares about getting beat by a freshman. Increase programming skill levels on command, how bout that?
But then again what do I know, I'm just your simple average Gamer.
