The creation story is great for children! It is instructive about the nature of God, and can be easily understood by small minds.
I don't see how evolution would be difficult to understand for young minds at a fundamental level either. In fact, understanding the creation story really goes hand in hand with a compliancy towards christianity. How could you possibly teach creation without a god involved? Sure you could teach ID without a god, but that would not be a great story for children.
I've found that this is a creationist behaviour - making a completely irrelavant statement as some sort of excuse to teach the creation "story". Fact is, it's not a story, it's more of a brainwash.
It's taken me 4 years to forget what I learned in my christian school upbringing which involved constant "spirituality" (read: creation) classes.
I actually played Kasparov along with about 20 others at the same time as part of a school chess program.
Smart man. He beat us all, of course.
Best wishes for the future.
Well, this could also be used (with a set of good protocols) as a method of communication between your headset and phone. Or from your monkey-chip-emplanted brain to your limbs.
Maybe this could be the ultimate coming-of-age for wearable computing communication.
My Daddy came up with a good idea recently.
Using one of those CyberGlove-type things, one could enter information into a computer using deaf-dumb sign language using a trained AI program.
He says it would probably be faster than keyboard input.
I'm working on it for my 5th Form science project..
A portion of this video was floating around as audio on the net.
I can't help but think that Jobs probably assembled that self-glorifying mac speech himself;)
Being 14 years old, I may have some insight into this.
I was 9 when my dad showed me C, only after I showed an interest in computers. I suggest you take a passive approach and continue to use computers around them, and let them decide on their own interests. Please do not restrict use of technology bluntly without reason; If you feel your teenager is spending excessive time indoors, talk to him/her - restriction depends on whether your child is rebuilding a linux kernel or playing on the xbox. Above all, support.

The iPod doesn't have a touch screen either, but it turned out pretty well as a personal organiser.

So what do CS majors do? If it's not a programming qualification, what is it?
In Soviet Russia, you!
This is an april fools joke, isn't it?
I guess in North Korea, only old people have 25mbps connections.
Just like the mammoth? ..Yeah.. what happened to that mammoth...

This could be done much faster in my favorite language BASIC!
Yes, but can it play "rock, paper, scissors, sucker-punch to the neck"?
