    I thought that our signals already atrophy into white noise after a few light-years.

    Alien signals also would atrophy - so we won't be able to detect them via radio transmissions from earth.

    With a warp disruptor II and a full rack of 220mm Autocannons, how else?

    Well, you're assuming it's minimatar. Humans have projectile weapons, and robots would enslave us, so it'd be amarr. Therefore, it'd respond with a rack of pulse lasers. The warp disrupter's a given, though.

  12. Re:Quick fix on Child-Suitable Alternatives To Passwords? · · Score: 1

    The quick fix is to use a defined password (e.g. "Hunter") and have the child change it in a predictable way (e.g. add a 2 at the end.) It's not secure as a random alphanumeric, but it is good enough to prevent casual password guessing. If you want, you could even log unauthorized access attempts as well so that attempts to guess the password get picked up. This is the same method I used to create one of my earlier passwords, and so far, nobody has guessed it (but certain sites don't like it since it didn't contain a number, capital letter, or non-alphanumeric.)

    You didn't use the auto-password-filter of IRC, did you? http://bash.org/?244321

    "Which also means the rate of the rate of increase is now negative." And this is why I'm glad I took Calculus. Data: Number of users per month/week, whatever. Derivative of the data is positive, so number of users in increasing. Derivative of the Derivative is negative, so the rate at which the number of users are increasing is decreasing The third derivative is the speed at which the rate of the rate of increase is changing. I think. The fourth derivative is *head asplode*.

  22. Re:Riiight. on The Prodigy Puzzle · · Score: 1
    The simple solution for that is to have a more dynamic curriculum. When Johnny finishes, say, Algebra, then he goes on to Geometry. Replace Algebra and Geometry as needed.

    The nice thing about this system is that it allows everyone to go at their own pace. The slower kids go slower, and the faster kids can simply go ahead until they reach something that's hard for them.

  23. Re:Never. on The Prodigy Puzzle · · Score: 1

    I disagree. They simply need to be put into a position where they are actually learning something. If that involves "separating them from the herd", then so be it. I am one of those gifted kids, and I want to be separated, because I want to be able to learn.

  24. Re:The children will ask themselves on The Prodigy Puzzle · · Score: 1

    Yes. I am one of the few lucky enough to have parents that payed attention to my comments. I am actually part of one of the programs that the Davidson offers. They are incredibly helpful.

    This type of stuff happens because the schools try to get everyone up to the same basic competency level, and make special modifications to the curriculum for kids who have a lower IQ. The kids on the higher end also need a specialized curriculum, but they don't have said curriculum because they get good grades, so there is nothing wrong.

    On a side note, many school administrators don't know much about gifted kids - even those with a gifted education degree. One of the best ways to help an extremely gifted child is to have him or her skip at least two grades. Most school administrators are against this because of the age difference. However, research shows that these kids actually do better socially than when they stay in their grade.(sorry, no links. Try google)

    I am going to college a couple of years early(living @ home, though), and I find the mentality much better than in highschool.
