Please! Don't do this to me I got till monday 13:38 eastern pacific!

So you've got a day and a half to do your homework. I suggest looking in the glossary int he back of your book. Either that or read your chapter.

Nobody's going to do your homework here for you. We've got better things to do...

History always repeats itself :D

You shouldn't focus on one area too much, you'll become very one dimensional.

Companies are always looking for programmers who are more than just some "computer nerd", and you have the rest of your life to learn how to program. I suggest putting more effort into your other studies.

Good luck,
Terrance

FDR's plan for the Great Depression: buy hoover vacs, "Hoovervilles", and "Hoover blankets", for up to 2 times what they cost.
