Now turn it loose with a few Grand Strategy games, Real-time Strategy games, and Counter Strike for good measure.
And don't forget a copy of The Art of War.
This should turn out well.

Ask Slashdot: What To Do Before College? 335
First time accepted submitter MtownNaylor writes "I graduated high school two days ago and am currently enrolled to attend college for studying Computer Science. I spent last summer working as a contractor, programming in Java doing work for a single company. I am looking to further either my career, my education, or both this summer. The problem is that I have found it difficult to find summer employment or internships programming for a multitude of reasons (lack of opportunities, lack of experience, lack of degree.) So what is a high school graduate who wants to work as a programmer to do?"

Honestly I think this is one of those areas where we can play god and get away with it.
If it helps people, and hurts no one, then do it. Science is a beatufiul thing, and it shouldn't be shafted when it helps people.

Why even bother then? This all could be done easily on one of those horribly outdated xp boxes all the schools have.
Unless you have a bunch of kids who are eager to learn about computers and the way they work, just stick with windows.

West Virginia Buys $22K Routers With Stimulus, Puts Them In Small Schools 295
DesScorp writes "The Charleston Gazette is reporting that the state of West Virginia has purchased hundred of enterprise class routers from Cisco at over $22,000 dollars apiece via federal stimulus money. The stimulus cash was intended to spread broadband coverage. The problem is that the routers are overkill, and are being placed in small schools and libraries with just a handful of users. The West Virginia Office of Technology warned that the purchase was 'grossly oversized' for the intended uses, but the purchase went through anyway. Curiously, the project is being headed up not by the state's usual authorities on such matters, but by Jimmy Gianato, West Virginia's Homeland Security Chief. In addition to the $24 million contract signed with Verizon Network Integration to provide the routers and maintenance, Gianato asked for additional equipment and services that tacked an additional $2.26 million to the bill. Perhaps the worst part is that hundreds of the routers are sitting in their boxes, unused, two years after the purchase."
