"Extremeism in defense of liberty is no vice" -- Barry Goldwater. Even Nixon was too ashamed to be associated with Goldwater. And for all the under-handed stupidity that Nixon engaged in, he did open up trade with China and get us out of Vietnam where as LBJ just wanted to keep escalating the war. On the other hand, Goldwater was the one who said "you don't have to be straight to shoot straight".
JFK was all about pushing the best and brightest to succeed for the good of the nation, but little brother Teddy was instrumental in pushing No Child Left Behind, which is perhaps one of the stupidest pieces of legislation ever conceived. Bleeding Heart Bobby Kennedy was a counsel to the McCarthy committee, helping to smash Reds, then busted the Mob as Attny General. But hey, let's forget about that, too...
Frankly, I think they've all been kind of lame since Andrew Jackson.
Isn't Zuckerberg's money all on paper? And not the green, cash-y kind? My point is, if there is an injunction against transfer of assets, then can he sell his stock to get cash? Standard IANAL and all that, but this could prove to be more than just a passing amusement.
Seriously though, starting at a light source from short distance can't be good for your brain any more than it is for your eyes. The last time I went on vacation, I didn't even bring my laptop with me, and my mind felt a lot sharper at the end of the week. I've also started using a slide rule I inherited from my grandfather rather than a calculator and doing maths on paper again. I don't have to do a lot of math in my current position, so I forgot a lot and started doing a lot of review to get back up to speed, and honestly I'm not sure i learned a lot of the maths I took very well in the first place, 'cause I never got called out on using a TI-89.
Computers are great and all, but beyond JSTOR and making typing easier/faster, I'm not sure they really helped me in school.
According to MaxMind Geolocator on the IP, it's in a place called Batavia, OH. Postal code is 45103, Area Code is 513, Exchange 515. It's in Clermont County, and not a lot of people live there according to the Wiki page. Less than 2000. It's near a University of Cincinnati satellite campus, so possibly a kid that goes there was visiting a friend at your school and decided to engage in some additional commerce while he was there.
When I was in high school I didn't know a single female programmer. Not one. When I got to college, the best programmer I knew was female. I'm just saying, it's not that girls are less able, I just think that in general the interest level isn't there. Males have a natural tendency towards destruction, construction, and other forms of power display that are required for this type of work. We're also raised to be that way. Girls, not so much, so I think it takes more encouragement to get them to try things like programming, or engineering, or being a fighter pilot, or whatever else have you, because it's not typical and thus "weird" for them to do it. And, because they're naturally more social and empathetic, what other people think is going to play a larger part. Something "easy" that allows them to do relatively nifty things that their friends can enjoy, without having to spend too much time up front, could be the step forward they need to go on to other things. Most guys seem to want to take the hardest route possible so that when they get to the end they can brag about how bad-ass they must be.
Seriously? I used the language from the summary in rebuttal to another poster to make the point that Apple probably/should/ care that Google's targeting the type of users most associated With Apple products, and empowering them to make devices they care about do stuff they want. Or, am I being punished for my back-handed assertion that Linux and FreeBSD suck ass on laptops?
I don't have enough of a reasonable need for smartphones anyway, even if they are good. I already saw Airbender, and honestly it was perhaps the least shitty movie Shamalamadingdong has made so far, even though it was a rather poor adaptation of the cartoon.
Well, if high schoolers are anything like they were when I was one, boys are more likely to take to programming while girls are more likely to spend time using the phone. If the boys who already program want to get into cell phone development, its not going to be that much of a stretch, even without this tool. If they want to encourage girls who aren't already interested in programming but want to make their phone more "personal", then this is probably a good way to start. I doubt its some sort of sexist plot, but how many 16 year old girls did you know who would want to write C code vs maybe some Javascript to spruce up their Geocities page? I see this as the same type of deal.
I took a look at the demostration videos and whatnot, and the user interface seems to be a cross between XCode's interface builder and MIT's Scratch. The code is written by dragging "puzzle pieces" into place, just like in Scratch. However, I assume this uses Java rather than Squeak? Scratch is kind of a lot different than HyperCard, but, you know... whatever. If only my BlackBerry Storm hadn't turned me off smartphones forever, I might actually be inclined to give this a shot.
Yeah, but aren't sixth graders, high school girls, nursing students and non-CS undergraduates like, 90% of Apple's user base? Sure, the other 10% of us basically use it as a Unix that goes to sleep when you close the lid, wakes up when you open it again, and can actually do power management, but we're also the 10% that don't mind actually writing native code if necessary. Easy cell phone application development will probably be like web development in that its a former "nerd domain" that's socially acceptable and "cool" for non-nerds to play in.

Edison had to acquire a physical product and then made money off of his illicit activities. But conspiracy to plunder a vessel on the high seas was the official charge brought against those Somali pirates they tried here in Norfolk recently.
No, therefor this is more like actual piracy and none of this namby-pamby "copyright violation" stuff. Oh, to be tried for "conspiracy to plunder a vessel on the high seas":-/
I look at the question more along the lines of "an individual has a right to make a living" more than "a particular class of worker has a right to make a living" or even "an individual has a right to make a living doing a job which otherwise violates some other portion of the social compact." As to your second point, I avoid law school under the stated reasoning that if I were to become a mafia hitman, I'd probably make more money and get a more fair treatment in the press than my own defense attorney.

Yes, and likely you've already de-compiled the binary if you know where to insert a 'jmp' to another point in the stack to keep the malware from detecting the virtualization and attempting to avoid its own detection. So, I'm really not sure what you're "uh, no"-ing about.
