You can use a simple command like >> start iexplore -k "error.htm"
Use http://download.cnet.com/Bat-To-Exe-Converter/3000-2069_4-10555897.html to convert the file to an executable. Have your students run the file so that it opens the error page in IE kiosk mode.(Annoying enough to not have a "Close" button) Demonstrate how open windows can be tracked to their parent process(error.htm is opened by sh4dY.exe) from within task manager. Hunt down and terminate the offending process, delete the exe and maybe the offending web page.
I took a game development course for an elective while completing my 2 year degree. We worked with a *free* program called Game Maker that teaches the fundamentals of game design without being too specific. Sure, you'll make cookie-cutter games, but its all about the ideas behind them.
Point any of your interested students to http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/ Its a nice little package with plenty of tutorials and (what used to be) a good following. If they learn the basics and still wanna pursue games simulation as a career they will find answers.
Choose sides, and you will surely lose at the end of the day. Apple's iDominance will die out. Android will fork to the point of there being a new distro daily. The best way to remain relevant is to develop the core ideas behind your application THEN learn how to implement them using the tools at hand. Consumers care about what works. Lets face it, what works today might not work tomorrow.
IN LATE BREAKING NEWS: Kids with all the time in the world spend it texting their friends! Adults on the other hand, well, they do more productive things; like less texting.
Salesman: Thank you sir. Thats all the paperwork. Here are the keys to your brand new Toyota Camry. Oh wait, there's just one more caveat. We'll need you to pay the "accelerator calibration" fee
I understand your view, but i know some foreign students who have actively tried to grasp the course material and I have known dumbasses who sit through the class collecting a puddle of drool on the desktop
I'd rather see an interested foreigner with struggle a bit with the language barrier than the dumbass whose just taking up space. The use of a deadtree dictionary isnt too much to ask.
During my time at the local community college science courses were almost always backed up and waitlisted. I knew a guy who was stone walled for entry into science courses, first because of an administrative screw-up due to language barrier issues and then because of the waitlisting. 2 and a half years later he's still trying to get through.
That wasnt so much a solution to this ask post, rather it was a response to the stigma over this discussion. I understand that students need a proficient understanding of English, but "Youre SOL if you dont know our language" shouldnt be a blanket answer
I cannot believe the "english only" vibe of this crowd. Its rather harsh considering there's no official language of the US. I cant speak for private universities, but for any state and or federally funded school culture shouldnt be offended or punished.
Anyways, as far as the topic is concerned, I would consider making the method part of the correct answer. After all, if the problem is complex enough or requires the use of a particular theory of equation Its not going to come from the top of your head. Googling a question or using an online calculator might give you an answer, but I have seen very few that will break down the process for you. If there are questions for which the answers can be regurgitated, set an appropriate timeline. Students may find some of the answers through references, but they wouldnt have time to look up everything. As someone mentioned previously, I dont know many jobs that require you to have all the answers without having reference materials
Youre right. Tracfone is cheaper, but it has a threshold. If you find yourself using 300-500mins a month, tracphone becomes comparable to the cheapest tiers of post-paid wireless service. As a bonus you will get better coverage.
Except that it wont disappear. It will just be rebranded by Tmobile as one of their post paid family rates. With companies like Boost, MetroPCS and Cricket offering similar plans, this wont go anywhere. Tmobile has just found their way to compete with the no-contract post paid crowd. This is sort of the middle ground. They're not selling to gadget gurus, socialites or business people, but they arent selling to grandma or little joey who just got his first taste of freedom. Walmart and Tmobile will tie this program to their cheapest dumbphones, but the branding will still be from companies like Samsung and Nokia. If MetroPCS can pull it off, im sure Tmo and Walmart can offer brand name phones Americans are used to seeing.
Your examples of DVDs and online music were probably solo ventures that any interested party already has an outlet for. This is a partnership and Tmobile is already established
There is a market for people who dont use smartphones. Some people will never have a need to use the web/online apps from their phone
I worked for metroPCS for a year. I would never use their service, but they really hit home with the $35 all you can eat talk and text. For the budget conscious person or "phones are meant for talking" crowd, this plan is great. Along came Cricket(metro was in my area first though i believe cricket existed first) to offer the same thing. People ate it up. These two companies had piss poor service outside large cities and suburbs, but they offered the people something reasonable. If you dont travel its great. Fast forward and now Boost Mobile offers a truly flat rate for talk, text and 2way. Today we see Walmart and Tmobile team up. This is the best offer yet for the budget crowd because i think Tmo offers the best coverage for their prepaid maps.
Will they offer the latest and greatest phones? No. They dont have to. Their target audience probably wouldnt have much use for even the most basic feature phones(maybe qwerty, camera, and bluetooth) Another reason is to keep costs down. Without a contract, the company cannot subsidize the phone purchase. Average Joe isnt going to buy a $500 phone if all it does is talk and text. he might buy that $100 phone that lets him shoot pictures and connect a handsfree headset or wired earpiece though. Afterall, those might be useful.
The bottom line here is that there will always be a market where the dumbphone remains relevant.
As a matter of fact, i would gladly walk around with a set of false teeth if it meant that i could use the one's i've got to get a few functioning organs.
Aside from stepping on the toes of copyright law, i fail to see how this would be helpful for an investigation.
Any place that sells shoes likely sells quite a bit of any type out there. Even finding an uncommon shoe print isnt necessarily helpful, unless they have already narrowed down their list of suspects. If you've accomplished that, theres probably something more useful than a shoe print to go on. On the contrary, a database of tire treads is a bit more useful. Vehicles are somewhat limited to the tires they are fitted with.
Its possible that even IT drones that work in bureaucracy have to deal with the red tape. A good number of these holes might have been fixed by installing the "latest" version of software. At most of the companies i have worked with software installs have to be vetted by corporate suits that would rather play golf.
Im not going to defend software that simply requires an update. Stuff that needs a fresh install or a new software package altogether can be a pain in the ass.
In Adam Sandler's "Grown Ups" the family goes to a lake house for the weekend. The kids were,of course, glued to their cell phones and video games. Adam sandler's character tries to convince them that doing outdoor stuff could be more fun and better for them than playing the games
"lets throw in a gaming console amongst other big culprits that help fatten up kids"
If your fat its because you didnt exercise enough as a kid and you probably ate shit. More so, its probably the fact that you ate shit. Oh, and your parents probably didnt push activity and exercise on you.
"LETS BLAME SONY!" I call it a witch hunt
- They have to learn the subjects correctly before being able to prepare courses material.
Next time you wanna make me laugh please make sure im not staring at my monitor. Its a pain to clean. One of my courses at the community college level involved a professor who was teaching us from bits and pieces of a manuscript(unfinished book?) He would read over the chapter before each class period to make sure things were proper and exercises worked correctly. I was an assistant in his lab, so i often got to play around with exercises before class to tell him what worked and what didnt work.
Around here, you can be cited or fined for going through someone's trash. If you are caught sifting through a recycle bin you are fined, because that is considered "stealing" income from recycling company(still Waste Management afaik)
we would eventually end up with the PS3 only allowing Sony peripherals. If it's done firmware side, the hackers will eventually find a way around it. A change in hardware might take a bit longer to figure out.
I worked for a phone store a few years back, and some of our motorola models(with miniUSB jack) could only be charged using motorola brand chargers because of currency issues.
If im not mistaken, USB devices are configured with a hardware ID, so a firmware patch will come in no time that limits the recognized IDs to Sony peripherals and maybe a few consumer brand storage devices

It says the reward was, in part, because the owner failed to respond(no showing a court date is bad) so its not really a case for libel.
yes, and it will be standard issue on Intel centicore i^n based PC running Windows Puerta
