    Ther is a programing environment designed to teach kids how to program it is called boxer it is based on logo. It is amazing!! Right now it only works on a Mac. The project is based out of the berkeley school of education. And the auther has a new book out on the topic called Changing minds Get it, read it, do it. You will not be disapointes. I am still trying to get over the BS that I picked up by learning to program in BASIC. But I still have good habits from my LOGO days. Did I mention that Boxer is OO?

    Stop complaining about how we now need to recompile all of our chess programes so we can run an the new chips. Forward progress means that yes some times we need to recompile or even sometimes rewrite our apps. But this is the price we pay for newer, faster, better. Unless you want to go the x86 way.

    Any time I hear sombody talkning about "Parents right" it is very clear that they have completley forgoten what it is like to be in high school, your children are alrady out of your hands, the are infact people.

    I test software for a living and one of the most problomatic things that I encounter is users calling me up at all houres of the night complaning about bugs that they just found on my copmonys software. And I'll spend 5-10 minuts waking up only to dicover that this user is reporting a well documented issue with his v0.081b If we had been smart enough to put an experation date on it the user would have uploaded the new version (one that is not beta) a year ago.

Every time sombody askes "But what is it good for?" shows that they have no understanding of how science works. I usaly lump those people in with the "But it is just a thery" folks.

  22. planets on The Science Of Planet Detection · · Score: 1

    Yes, Beculs we all know that earth like planets mean the posibility of life. cuz this one has life. Why must we jump to conclusions based on a experimental data set of 1. We only know of one planet that has life on it. and one that one planet the life we have found so far is so diverce that it is easily imaginable that ther may be life (just based on this one) that may be on planets (or not even planets) that are nothing like ours. We know absolutly nothing about life that may or may not exest elseware (i.e. not on this planet). Yes it may be on earth like planets or It may not. Anybody ever read "Dragons Egg"? Not just flufy sifi but an interesting premis by a well know astrophisisist. Any way Forward (I think it was him) layed out a premis that had inteligent life on a nutron star. Yes it is true that life (probably) needs complex chemacal reations. But that does not mean That it has to be liqued H2O at about 1g. Ok enough ranting basicly what I am saying is that we don't know. and I am a fan of if you don't know don't say that you do!
