Standardized testing is the only reason I ever had a specialized calculator like this (TI-89). Now that I am out of school it has just been collecting dust in my desk drawer.
What distro are you using? Arch Linux doesn't install sudo by default. Every Arch install I've done required me to manually install sudo when it was required (and having it installed makes like a lot easier when using yaourt, so I ended up pretty much always installing it).
The problem isn't just that it intercepts searches... it intercepts EVERYTHING typed into the address bar. If you type in a valid web site address it gets intercepted and takes you to their search engine. When you are using a browser such as chrome, typing into the search box isn't an option.
I cleaned up a PC that had over 500 (was several years ago, don't remember the exact number) infections. They were a friend of my dad's so I just charged him some gas money, since all I did was throw in an unattended XP CD and waited for it to finish.
I received a phone call from him before I had even made it home... about 15 min away. The AV I installed had already found several viruses on there. He got mad and said he was taking it to Best Buy. After they charged him $350 to reinstall Windows like I had just done, he was more than willing to sit down with me and let me show him how to be more secure with his computer use.
If you are one of those who cheat in an Intro. to CS class, then chances are pretty good that you won't make it too far with your programming aspirations.
Just don't complain when the college keeps taking your tuition money for the same course!
This may be a stupid question, but what is the difference between the line-in and the microphone ports? Aren't they both used to receive data from an outside source?
What is more important is what they teach to the education students when technology classes are actually required.
A friend of mine has a degree in education from a big name teacher's college in the area. She also has a masters in "Teaching and Learning with Technology" and still has no idea about anything other than Windows and Microsoft software. Trying to explain to her how to use the MacBook she bought was like teaching her French.
To compare, the community college, no less than 5 miles down the road, requires every person working on a technology related degree to take a generic operating systems course. This course covers Linux, OS X, and Windows, as well as the main programs on each platform. I was required to take the class while I was there for an AutoCAD proficiency certificate, and AutoCAD is no longer supported on Linux, so knowing it would be trivial to my education.
I'm not sure what the best way to remedy this would be. If people show a desire to learn about other options, then the school would happily add those classes. However, if people don't have the proper education to show them these options exist, then how do they know there is something else out there?
do football players get paid each time someone watches their past performance?
...
No, they don't. But the body that owns their work does... does this sound familiar:
"Any rebroadcast, retransmission or other use of this telecast without the written consent of the National Football League is prohibited"
Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but...
How does making IE standards compliant break webpages? If a webpage renders properly in another standards compliant browser, then why would it fail in a standards compliant IE?
I am extremely happy with Dell. Without their computers my repair/troubleshooting workload would be cut in half and I'd still be washing dishes somewhere.

There is a patch out there called Concurrent RDP Patcher. It will enable RDP on W7 Home as well as give you the option to allow multiple logins. I have used it on many computers and can verify that it works as expected. http://experts.windows.com/frms/windows_entertainment_and_connected_home/f/114/t/79427.aspx

I'm pretty sure, if it came down to it, I'd rather call the priest to deal with my computer issues.
Exactly. Money always makes people think twice.

You forgot about a slim Wii. Wait... on second thought I don't think that'll sell very well. Nintendo needs to work on making their Wiis larger.

What are all of us left-handed people supposed to do with this?
