Breaking the Squid Barrier 126

An anonymous reader writes "Dr. Steve O'Shea of Auckland, New Zealand is attempting to break the record for keeping deep sea squid alive in captivity, with the goal of being able to raise a giant squid one day. Right now, he's raising the broad squid, sepioteuthis australis, from egg masses found in seaweed. This is a lot harder than it sounds, because the squid he's studying grow rapidly and eat only live prey, making it hard for them to keep the squid from becoming prey themselves. If his research works out, you might one day be able to visit an aquarium and see giant squid."

My five year old son (now eight) did not have any trouble picking up Linux. In fact having to type his login and password gave him a reason to spell.

I had two girls staying with us who were at the local polytechnic and they wrote lots of papers, assignments, etc., before they knew that they were using OpenOffice.

Hope this helps.
