Yup, great advice. Pity python forgot about it:
Hehe, something similar came to mind here too, but you beat me to it. :-)
Greetings from Kalamazoo, MI after a day of driving with 4 adults and 4 kids
in a single minivan!
One highlight from the day is that we stopped in to tour the NavOps
submarine simulator in Gary, IN. Neat stuff, they are building a full size
mockup of a couple rooms of a "peaceful/humanitarian" submarine. The goal
of the simulator mission is to do interesting missions ... such as save the
whales from the oil spill. It is intended as a tool to trick 5th graders
into learning lots of math and science concepts while they are having fun.
And it seems to work really well. The math/science test scores in that
local school district seem to take a big jump at 5th grade ... has some
higher ups wondering what's going on over there. :-)
The plan is to add 6 FlightGear stations to the cooperative simulation so
that the various missions can have some sort of air support.
Neat stuff! (Sorry to hijack the code styling thread ...)
Curt.
