It's something of an injustice to credit "Southern Illinois University" researchers for this. The unmodified SIU is in Carbondale, while these researchers were in the Edwardsville branch.

The James Webb Space Telescope - if it's ever actually launched - will run its onboard science operations using scripts written in a tailored version of JavaScript.

whenever I upgrade my non-Apple Web browser on there. As others have noted, it allows unfettered web access, which could lead to inappropriate websites. No big deal.

for my wife's and my book collection, which currently takes up space in every room of our house.

Got sent to a maillist that covers just about everyone who works at a NASA center east of the Mississippi. Once you add up the virus-generated emails, the emails warning everyone it's a worm, and the emails complaining "for God's sake don't reply to everybody" (which replied to everybody), there were several score messages sent to thousands of users.

Reasonably priced, good instructors - I've taken at least half-a-dozen Web-related classes from them and not been disappointed yet.

Virtually all the comments on here are missing a key point: everything they say is true, but it was true twenty years ago when there were a lot more women going into computer science than are now, though still far fewer than men.

I think what's changed is that many other professions have openeed up to women. When I started work as a programmer, almost all doctors, lawyers, etc. were male. Computer programming, though, was much closer to a pure meritocracy - no one cared about your chromosomes so long as you could code. So it was a good avenue for intelligent women to pursue. Now, they have plenty of alternatives and, as others have noted, women seem to be more inclined than men to pursue more people-oriented professions, like doctors and lawyers, when those options are open to them.
