My CS course (in the late 90s) kind of went the other way. One of the earliest courses was one that taught how a cpu operates -- what a register is, what the accumulator is, etc. There was no actually programming, just working through the steps of what the computer does to perform a given operation. After that there were a number of directions to go in.
I didn't use any of this though, I found a Japanese book on the GBDK C compiler. It's still available here: http://gbdk.sourceforge.net/ and there are more resources here: http://devrs.com/gb/software.php#assemble
I've thought since then that working on a simple machine like that is a great way to learn the fundamentals of computer science.

"I have saved 4,000 rupees (70 US$) in the last seven months. It's a good feeling to have some money. I will buy a shirt and a watch for my father and send it to him to seek his apology."
"He might forgive me and ask me to be with him at home."
For me it is heartbreaking that this child was beaten and still feels that he owes his abuser an apology.

JERRY: (To Kramer and Morty) What is this about?
KRAMER: I'm completely changing the configuration of the apartment. You're not gonna believe it when you see it. A whole new lifestyle.
JERRY: What are you doing?
KRAMER: Levels.
JERRY: Levels?
KRAMER: Yeah, I'm getting rid of all my furniture. All of it. And I'm going to build these different levels, with steps, and it'll all be carpeted with a lot of pillows. You know, like ancient Egypt.

Market saturation is another one. Nintendo is traditionally strong in it's home market, but I was watching a TV program in Japan prior to the 3DS launch saying that one in four Japanese owns a DS. Hard to imagine they can sell more hardware units.
The website “http://www.nytimes.com” is requesting 10 MB of disk space to store “Stored content for nytSkimmerSections” as a database on your disk.
I'll pass on that.

So I went to translate.google.com and tried the original English: "After rain the sun is rising, Croatian people are whit you!" and got back different Japanese: "雨の後に太陽が上昇している、クロアチアの人々が聖霊降臨祭のです！"
I tried another one and it matched, so some (most?) are through Google Translate, but it looks like it may have had a helping hand.
