Good call. Just like Wikipedia, I see a lot of crap on/. I think sounds viable, but I'm never sure if it's got a truthful standing in actual fact. Having an attorney agree with it gives it much more standing as factual, or at least not totally false - I'd like to see that affirmation stand out in a crowd of comments. Therefore a +5 is warranted, IMHO.
Plus, since they don't do numbers anymore, once you've got a certain amount of karma, it really doesn't matter anymore.
Um, because clearly students will want to monitor... their heart rates... while they're... taking tests(?)... and teachers won't want that to happen? Wha...?
Yes, but words must be used carefully when sitting on a platform as large as that one. That was beyond a poorly constructed sentence, it was a lapse in judgment. Granted, Obama didn't say them, but he did put the dude up there.
Well, seeing as how I'm under 30, no that's not the case. When someone tells me that I need to embrace what's right (or whatever the hell he said) after I just voted for the dude who put that idiot on the podium after the inaugural address... yeah, I am a little pissed off.
I hope I don't end up regretting my vote for Obama.
I resent the quote "when white will do right". That guy can go f$#%* himself with that nonsense. This isn't 1960... I voted for Obama. Would he consider that "right"?
I sincerely hope Obama shows better judgment governing than he did in choosing his follow up speaker.
Hey, I consider the title of "engineer" to be one of the coolest things about working in IT. Sure, the dude who goes around under desks and reimaging Windows isn't an engineer, but I figure if you're touching or creating code, that is when the engineer title is bestowed upon you. I wonder what everybody else thinks - that's just MHO.
The truly exclusive title, I'd think, is "scientist". Now THAT would be cool to have.
all claims require adequate support for provisional acceptance
I think those that tested the hell out of relativity in the early 20th century would disagree with you. When something is so out of the ordinary or flies so much in the face of conventional wisdom, it will be tested more than something which merely "builds" on an existing concept.
You may be right, but in your purist logical thinking you are denying a fundamental attribute of humans.
Yeah, I agree. That's kind of what I meant by an app which facilitates killing. They're not going to do the actual killing, but they're going to make it a lot easier. (Or if you want to be a little less jaded, they'll help make our soldiers more effective - which certainly involves more than killing)
I don't believe it (much as I'd like to). Show it to me. Hell, even if they made a cloak that only obstructed "one color" (whatever that means) with 10% loss, that'd still be a huge leap.
Yeah, the tags are unfortunately, still F'd. I wish they had a blog or something, because I'm curious about how their algorithm works (but too lazy to actually read the code). Hopefully/. is aware the tagging system still needs work.
I think you're right, but I'd say it's very likely that the "killer app" will quite literally be a "killer app"... or at least an "app" that facilitates killing. There's tons of DARPA/DoD money going into this, and the sooner we get robosoldiers, the sooner we can have less casualties, hopefully on all sides. Or at least that will be the plan.
I always thought it was mainly the puritan/protestant/western religious values that drove our (i.e. Western) governments and institutions to not like porno.
Recently I've discovered India "outlaws" (according the book I read) porn and now China is cracking down. If anything, I'd think they wouldn't care. What is it in these Eastern cultures that makes them not like porn? I didn't think they were uptight like that.
This really isn't new at all for the Carolina's. My wife and I were in VA beach a few years back and happened upon a sign for no swearing. I said "that's fucking stupid" and she said "no shit". We walked on and that was that. But if I'm not mistaken, I do believe there is a fine associated with breaking this law, and it would be very questionable under the first amendment.
This is some of that feel good bullshit law creation that could turn into some nasty stuff - if we didn't have a reasonable society. This is fucking stupid, but until I (or someone else) get fined for what I say... I don't give too much of a shit. Let the soccer moms feel like they're doing something.
It's been a long time since I've been in high school, and I really am curious. Do they even know how to use Windows?
I've got a baseless and unsupportable hypothesis (based on my lack of personal experience and lack of research) that teachers are afraid of technology, because their students know it better than them. And as a result, students are not getting the exposure to tech they need.
So really, how good is computer literacy in teachers today? Even for something as basic as Windows? (I remember in high school, my Spanish teacher was so afraid of the VCR, he didn't want any of us to touch it, not because we were vandals, but because he didn't know how to work it, and probably assumed the same of us)
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe it's getting late and I missed the obvious... but where exactly did this story state that it occurred in a high school?
Agreed. Plus cracker is just stupid. If we're going to have a name for malicious computer folks, I think black hat is about a billion times cooler.

Good call... no, great call
Plus, Russia still needs money, I'm sure they'd take some kind of offer. This is more like saying: "this price has gone up... way up"
Then he can smack the 240 year old sonofa bitch who enslaved his ancestors - otherwise, leave me the hell out of it.

Still not too thrilled about it.

My sentiments, EXACTLY. What kind of bullshit was that?
What was up with the second guy, after Obama?
I resent the quote "when white will do right". That guy can go f$#%* himself with that nonsense. This isn't 1960... I voted for Obama. Would he consider that "right"?
I sincerely hope Obama shows better judgment governing than he did in choosing his follow up speaker.
First frosty piss first post?
I do. It's like being there w/o the threat of instant death should something happen.

We have not yet seen the "killer app"

Thanks for your opinion - way to create extreme irony... hopefully it was intentional.

Um, I think one of the perhaps very good reasons they don't use Linux is because the teachers are clueless as to how to use it.
Yeah, mark me as troll, but it's F'in true.
