How can I freeze up Carnegie Learning so I don't have to do it anymore?

We Answered:

It sounds like you need to have your parents go to the administration and complain about your math teacher. Hacking/breaking information systems is illegal and can result in jail time, fines, and expulsion from school.

How can my ten-year-old best learn programming?

We Answered:

I taught myself programming when I was 10, the language was BASIC, then 8080 Assembly, Fortran, Pascal, C, by then I had graduated with a degree in Computer Science (at the top of my class). I used a book or two to learn those languages, but mostly I learned by DOING. So you have to WANT to write programs to do things, ANY things. It started out with games, one program would even play Backgammon against a human player, and sometimes win. By age 20 I was designing my own programming languages and implementing the compilers for them. My point is that yours is not at all an unrealistic expectation. These days books are not really necessary, everything is online. I heartily recommend Java, it's not too complex, has graphics, runs anywhere, and is a great stepping off point to C++, C#, and points beyond. I'll repeat that KEY in the process is writing programs for fun, as a hobby, picking tougher and tougher problems as you are ready for them. I could go on but I think you get the idea.

P.S. You will want to expose him to some formal theory at some point, as I was, but the hands-on stuff won't get in the way of understanding that, in fact it will be easier to understand the theory that way since he will have realized some of it already, intuitively, as part of the lessons learrned through trial and error.

Is this Yahoo Questionnaire a scam to hack my account?

We Answered:

Yes, Andrew it is a scam. Yahoo would not ask you for your personal information in an E-mail like that.
It is a scam to get your personal information and/or money.
Do not respond to it.
Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP.
For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya…
Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.
Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.
