Thanks for the tip!

Frankly, it would be move valuable to share good educational links rather than Google paying to get more content. I believe there's plenty of good content. The hard part is separating the wheat from the chaff.

Some sites I enjoy are:
* Technology Connections
* SmarterEveryDay
* The Coding Train

I disagree. I learned my first computer language as a 9th grader: "My Computer Likes Me When I speak in BASIC". It was a good intro and make me pick up PASCAL as a "real" language later. All of that lead me to disassemble the disk controller in my TRS-80 one summer.

But, your premise that anyone can learn CS is true. It takes a level of curiosity that some kids don't want to apply. At least exposing some of the concepts could open others to the possibility.

Rich was the first person I thought of when I clicked on the article's link. Awesome youtube channel and a real inspiration to us still living in the ICE-age. When I saw his gutted car, I couldn't imagine myself being able to put it all back together again.

Two thumbs-up for people doing this stuff. I'm very impressed!

Just google it. Example: Lakewood welfare fraud. In light of that case, 159 people were granted amesty to the tune of $2.2 million.

I'm currently using 3 RPi's running OpenElec to stream movies via CIFS from one of them as master. Works great. I never looked at how to use them to connect to torrents (d/l speed is horrible with my ATT service). But, after reading this, maybe I need to go watch some tutorials.

Please cite the incident. I can't find it with a Google search.

Isn't a conveyor what Burger King has been using for > 40 years now? It's "flame grilled" too. So, it's not "baked". Seems that McD's is just catching up with competition here.

No, but the death of the Replaceable Battery seems to be in evidence!

I'm not talking about easy replacement like the Galaxy S5 has (although that's nice). I'd settle for being able to open the back and remove the battery on my workbench without a heatgun and surgical tools.

Why do these phones have to be disposable?

It doesn't have to be the size of a brick to have a replaceable battery. Gluing the phone together like the S7 is makes it virtually impossible to install a new battery. It doesn't have to be that way.

Sorry. I'm sitting on the fence on this one. His first day of executive orders are A1 in my book. But, I am concerned that his moral compass needs tuning.

In comparison to his competition -- especially listening to the rhetoric from Jerry Brown -- you'd think the world was coming to an end. It's not.

I expect to disagree with Mr. Trump quite a bit; I'm not buying the KoolAid. But, I'm also not a fan of where Mr. Obama has led this nation in the last 8 years either.

Extend the runway. gotta be cheaper than tunnels to LAX

Cite your source, please. I think the jobs issue is much more complex than Trump lets on. But, the last 4 presidents certainly weren't friends of manufacturing. I do see the Foxconn commitment as "fear of Trump". But, I can be convinced otherwise should you find an article demonstrating something counter to Reuters article.

if the batteries were replaceable, the phones would at least not be headed to a landfill to rest with the ET Atari cartridges.

Maybe Elon Musk could figure out how to bundle them for rocket fuel...
