My father teaches a college course using Alice. It's sort of a programming for non-computer-science majors class. I've sat down with him a couple of times and played with the program. I suspect that for someone who doesn't have any programming experience Alice is really fun (creating movies, making things move onscreen), but for someone with any experience its all just a hassle. Too many mouse clicks and drags are needed to get simple things done, and sometimes the natural-language style of the program isn't as natural-language as you want it to be. But if it's a free program it can't hurt to try it out yourself.
Even the professors scare girls away from computers. Last year in my Comp Engineering class, the professor had all of us applaud the two girls who made it all the way through the class. I would have been embarrassed if I was one of them.
Clearly, both series are infinite. Just as clearly, there are "more" even integers than there are odd integer multiples of seven.
Actually, both of those series have the same "number" of numbers. Just take each even integer, add one and multiply by seven, and you will have the second series. Because each number in the first series maps to exactly one number in the second series, they both have the same magnitude. Read up on cardinality on Wikipedia for more information.
What's the average mass of a bus anyways? With that last sentence, you're proving the opposite point. The mass of the bus would actually have very little to do with how far the bus would fly. The only things that would matter, neglecting air resistance, are its speed and gravitational acceleration.
Now the voter can see his vote was registered for the right candidate
I don't think so! Again, that's the whole point of a blind ballot. Nobody, NOBODY, can link who you voted for back to you. The system is in place to protect you. Imagine if your Repub. boss fired you because you voted Dem.
Absolutely.
Every single management-person I have met has seen one thing the best--money. Show them how your job will save them money, either by making repeat customers or by less support staff, and they will listen. Your job will be saved.

If I look outside my window and observe reality in its full high-definion glory, am I consuming data?
If not, what if I set up a camera outside my home and watch the video feed on my televion?
How do you yell at the kids on your lawn if you aren't sitting on your porch?

Whenever I was in physics class and we got a number like this, we threw it out because someone must have done the math incorrectly.

The REAL power of a computer is not the hardware, but the software. A computer without software is an expensive boat anchor.
And a computer without hardware is what, cloud computing?

It's a Halo game. They could sell each unit and building individually for $10.00 and people would still buy it.
Exactly. There's no way that a console controller can give you the number of actions per minute that most pros have with Warcraft III or other RTSs.

Yeah, except when your job is to rate this game.
I neglect air resistance 'cause that's what my college physics professor told me to do. I don't think he trusted me around numbers.
And I can tell you e-mail is for old people.
You must be new here. Expect the mods at /. to post this same article at least 3 times, with the last one being 6 months from now.
