For that matter, any platform that accesses code and data from the same memory (i.e. Von Neumann Architecture) is susceptible to this, as is typical of all general purpose OSes.
I personally started with Logo and assembly language, but only because it was what was available in school (Logo) and on my DOS 2.0 floppy (DEBUG).
Looking back, BASIC may have been the most available language available on ROM at that time, so that's what folks used (despite that it supposedly 'mutilates the mind beyond recovery' according to Dijkstra http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Edsger_Dijkstra ).
I think now, javascript would have that advantage since it comes with the browser (and firefox is particular has got good debugging support for javascript).
You have to bridge the gap between bits and voltages. I don't remember the titles of my books, so I will include keywords (You're probably past steps 1&2? Working backwards from #4 would also work).
1. Break down assembly language even further and look into OP codes as well as the FDOES (Fetch-Decode-Operands-Execute-Store) cycle. Think clocks and busses. [microprocessor architecture, bus architecture, instruction set, instruction architecture]
2. Move further into details of how ALU and memory are implemented: how flip-flops are used to store state, and how ALU's adder circuits, etc. can be implemented using NAND gates. Know what a 7401 is. [digital circuit design, half adder, full adder, flip-flop, register]
3. Then at a lower level, study how NAND gates themselves are implemented using transistors. Know about BJTs and FETs. [transistor electronics, electronic circuit analysis and design, BJT, FET]
4. You can be happy at the transistor level, but to solder things that actually work (and at the same time, know what you're doing), you have to study electric circuits and power electronics [electrical engineering, power electronics, ohm's law, thevenin, kirchoff's circuit laws]. Know how to read the color bands on resistors and appreciate the cheeky mnemonics for BBROYGBVGW:)
5. If you want to grind your own sand to make your chips and transistors, you may want to look up material science

Now if someone could recommend books for each stage...
(It's hard to recommend self-learning hardware, because I was taught hardware and am self-learning Computer Science.)
...it is so wrong wrong wrong! Study women like you study math and you will finally get what you want. And take a tip from someone who HAS done the studying.
I can't decide whether that's really funny, or really sad. Any tips from someone who's had *actual* experience?:)
MMORPGs have been selling online services via prepaid cards from brick & mortar stores for a long time, e.g. World of Warcraft, Ragnarok and Priston Tale, to name a few. Another numbskull patent (examiner).
Well technically, it isn't exactly media or merchandise that the MMORPGs were selling (as claimed by the patent), but in terms of prior art, uniqueness and obviousness, the patent shouldn't be valid. Heck, USPTO should employ teens as patent examiners.
I am not the parent, but you're assuming that you're gonna dual boot the mac. If you take out OSX and boot only vista, your concerns are resolved.
So if licensing is the only hurdle, then your argument doesn't hold. But I think, the only question here is whether macs are WHQL-certified.
You have to pay a third-party for LEGAL Windows support on MacOS
Are you changing the topic to virtualization? The discussion is about running Windows on mac hardware, and there is no legal impediment to doing so. Also, Apple openly supports Vista on their hardware.
Seconded about the bag. Having stuff stolen from me before while travelling, I was wise to put my Thinkpad X31 into a cheap dark green plastic A4-size document envelope from Office Warehouse. It was like the MacBook Air envelope ad, but done 5 years ago. It just fit, and the X61 being the same size would be perfect for the same. It kept the rain out, and prying eyes away. It didn't offer impact protection, although I doubt my Thinkpad would have needed that much.
Imho, it isn't scientists pushing atheism as the "new religion". It is regular sheeple people who like to turn things into religion. People like to build institutions around concepts, forming systems of justified beliefs that relieve the mind of critical thinking. Announce that e.g. nothing travels faster than the speed of light, or that black holes exist, and people tend to canonize these concepts, rather than regard them as (albeit very-well established) hypotheses and observations.
In summary, someone (a scientist) pushes a concept, and sheeple turn it into a religion.
How would atheism be a new religion, neither being new nor a religion?
A fitting touch of wit, reminiscent of Voltaire's quip on the Holy Roman Empire:)
Games have been becoming more and more realistic. so when they look back and say "When I was a kid, nobody went crazy" it doesn't exactly apply to current games
Simulated violence provides the exhilarating stimulus without the consequences.
One can get away with or even be rewarded for robbery, war, destruction, sex and extravagance.
And it is indeed entertaining to do so.
The problem starts when one loses empathy and carries such behavior into the real world.
If you haven't been robbed, beaten or abused, it is hard to understand the actual consequence,
and thus carry on the dysfunctional behavior.
A possible solution is for kids to get off their asses at least once in a while and join a sport/activity (real-life xp) to remind them how fragile themselves and other people are in real life.

I come from the southern Philippines*, and I have had my share of bombings/non-potable-water/fingernails-blue-becaus e-of-inhaling-smog; and during college, I I'd just buy rice worth 10 US cents and ask for soup from the cafeteria for a tasty lunch.
And guess what! If it weren't because of electric pianos, computers and phone networks and other "luxuries," I would never have taken interest in computer programming and be working where i am now. I'd be filling a redundant role either as a driver or a farmer. Even worse, I might have ended up a misguided vigilante, building bombs instead of printer drivers.
Yes, access to basic necessities is good, but it doesn't hurt at all to provide access to technology. In fact, my life did change because of freaking gadgets. When you love technology and you're stuck in a nook without an apple store, you would drool over it even if you lived on a diet of rice and soup and couldn't afford it. Having a fancy shop around makes geeks in your community excited about the possibilities of life.

1. Unraveling the mystery of the multi-touch screen by peeling it like an onion!
2. Figuring out if the iPhone has vestiges of unimplemented features (like how they found unused slots on the Mac Mini).

4. And most importantly... iPorn! (is what you get when you cause your iPhone to do an iGoatse.)

Anything with energy has momentum, which kinda intuitively makes sense.
Also, I just remembered the famous equation that states mass and energy are interchangeable (E = mc^2) .
I'm not sure how the equation E =.5mv^2 + U would have to be transformed to suit it, though -- IANAP either:)
Still no time travel, commercial-grade flying cars, cold fusion, hover boards, cure for AIDS... some things just happen to be more attainable or "discoverable" than others, I suppose.
humans getting better and better at science as time progresses
Hmm... it could also be a function of the world's population. Your observation might correlate with the population of humans actually trying to solve the problem. More people would hopefully mean more scientists and more discoveries.
Wisconsin-Madison have pieced together an explanatory framework that for the first time illustrates what mock theta functions are, and exactly how to derive them.
