I don't know how to rebuild an engine, but I do know how to change the oil. I wouldn't expect the average user to know how to write a batch script, but it wouldn't hurt them to learn a few useful commands, like: rename *.jpeg *.jpg.
I still think one of the best things I did in college was take a typing class (they called it "Keyboarding"). It was a lot of work, but by the end of the class I could touch type. And it's a skill I still use every day.
Ah, yes. I remember putting carbon paper in between two sheets of form feed paper so I could print two copies at once. When I tried two sheets of carbon paper (3 copies at once) it always jammed...
I hadn't heard of it until Scott Hanselman mentioned it on his podcast. And then I had trouble finding a copy -- Walmart didn't have it, Toys-R-Us (who have the largest board game selection locally) didn't have it. I finally found a copy at a store that sets up in the mall every Christmas to sell games.
And no one I mention it to has heard of it. I've gotten several people interested in it just by telling them about it. But it's hard when they can't go to a familiar store and buy a copy. Which is ashamed because it's a great game were you can use several different strategies to win unlike most US board games.
I just wrote a simple Android app. It took me about 4 months in my spare time. A company with people working on things full time could of course do things faster, but I'm pretty sure Angry Birds took more than a month to write. It probably took at least a month of testing. And I don't think the art in AB is mediocre.
That someone at the FSF has been using Gmail and started feeling guilty about using "non-free" software and instead of switching to something else is trying to get Google to change?
1. Let A = current hot technology 2. Let B = new upcoming technology 3. Let X = random number less than 5 4. Write headline "B will overtake A in X years" 5. Split article into multiple pages 6. 7. Profit!

Amazon should rename their store: The iApp Store.
Problem solved.

Someone needs to wash your mouth out with soap. Watch how you talk to your elders.

I guess step 2 is "sue competitors"
Have you heard about the Verizon iPhone? It's just like the AT&T one, except this one makes phone calls.
A "Don't Panic" story? On a Thursday? I don't think I'll ever get the hang of these.

I really don't understand why "Settlers of Catan" hasn't caught on more in the U.S.
Well, now, tell me how long is a meter.
Easy, it's how far light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458th of a second. That should be easy to use to measure stuff.
Have you seen the official definition of a meter? The distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458th of a second.
Frankly, I'd rather use a yard because I can easily estimate it at three of my feet.
So your mum recognized that it was not an iPhone.
We're not suppose to be teaching them technology - we're suppose to be teaching them mathematical concepts.
I think we should keep one or two for display and sell the rest to help pay off our debt.
"women's health projects" is not a function of the government, education is.
Why not buy the judge a copy of "Java in 24 Hours"?
Chrome is a Pokemon -- just look at the logo!
Maybe they should just have seasons -- Firefox 4 Summer edition, Firefox 4 Winter edition, etc...

Unions don't necessary represent working people. Many times they only represent the interest of the people running them.
If by "given away" you mean spending tax dollars on...
