"When you have kids, they get all your slack." -- Book of the SubGenius

'nuff said.

Only if you don't clean the screen before you put it on...

Fix an O.S. bug yourself?

3M has a fix for that...
...and it protects your real screen from scratches, etc.

Ideas like deriving code from specifications, developing proof outlines and code in tandem, and just generally more rigorously thinking about code and why it works.

You should definitely look at Scratch, which is designed for kids, even (especially?) kids who don't type very well yet, yet it teaches them programming skills. This is the same crowd who initially did Logo all those years ago, and they think this is better...

That's why you need molten salt solar -- when the sun is out, you fill a tank with 1050F molten saltpeter, and when you need power, you use the "hot" saltpetr to boil water and run a turbine, and you dump the "cool" (550F) salt in to a tank to reheat when the sun is out. The salt stays hot for up to a week.

Of course, you can use direct Photovoltaic to handle things like peak air conditioning load, where the energy need corresponds with the sunlight.

They're already doing this at Archimede in Sicily...

First: learn about networking generally. In your case I'd recommend the Doug Comer/Dave Stevens Xinu networking books, volumes I and II, but a lot of folks also like the books by W Richard Stevens TCP/IP Illustrated set. The Xinu books, particularly volume II, have the entire source code of a straightforward impelementation, which is really good if you're a person who reads code well.

Then pick 2 network vendors you like and learn how to configure their gear. Probably start with whatever gear you have now; it may be perfectly serviceable if setup properly, or at least usable as a corner of a better network design.

Actually, Shakers thought THEY shouldn't have sex; they were a celibate order, like Catholic nuns. They realized most folks should procreate.

They got done in when the state started orphans homes, and they no longer had orphans to raise and recruit from.

The fly-a-plane-into-a-building attack already didn't work the fourth time. Once people knew that was a mode of attack, it stopped working. No more security needed be done, not even locking the cockpits.

Tobacco companies killed more people in the USA in 2001 than terrorists, by a considerable margin. So where did we spend our money? Invading Afghanistan(!), to punish a government (our former allies) who correctly concluded that they physically couldn't hand over the organizers. So now we've been there for almost 10 years, and spent uncounted billions of dollars, and we can't catch them either.

It's plain woolly-headed thinking; acting like sheep.

We need a Sarek to start preaching Logic.
