Around the Moronosphere 8/3/09

I spent the weekend working on some programming homework on looking for some good resources on programming, once again YouTube comes to the rescue. Stanford University has posted 3 of the computer science courses on the YouTube EDU site. They are CS106A Programming Methodology which is an intro to computer science using JAVA, CS106B Programming Abstractions which is an extension of 106A with advanced topics using C++ and CS107 Programming Paradigms which covers a number of other languages including assembly. That's about $6000 dollars of education for free. I have watched at least one video from each of the courses and the instructors are all pretty good.

Now back to stealing content from the rest of the morons - Or not google reader has decided to crap out for the moment. I will try again in a while.

Hot Air - Times of London: Iran just waiting for Khamenei’s order to build a bomb

Iran has perfected the technology to create and detonate a nuclear warhead and is merely awaiting the word from its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to produce its first bomb, Western intelligence sources have told The Times.

The sources said that Iran completed a research programme to create weaponised uranium in the summer of 2003 and that it could feasibly make a bomb within a year of an order from its Supreme Leader.

Just One Minute - A Kenyan Birth Certificate Magically Appears - so where has this supposed birth certificate been all this time? People are already debunking this thing. Apparently Mombasa wasn't part of Kenya in 1961 and Kenya wasn't a republic until 1964 (although there is some back and forth on that)
