underlines the rule about writing emails: don't do it when you're upset or angry,
Unless you're talking specifically about Karen's email then I think you should reconsider.
This women lied, threatened legal action and pulled the first punch.
If anything is to be learned it's that if the kid in your class is doing your job teaching because you're crap and know nothing about the subject, perhaps it's time to move on to a different career instead of acting like a bitch.
It's a snakes threat. If she's wrong she can claim she was only following the law. She lied too "I used Linux in college". She didn't.
Also would you want to learn anything from an idiot? It's obvious that the kid should be teaching the class and the teacher should have been the student.
In fact that's exactly what it sounds like happened and the teacher got all pissy because her thunder was stolen.
Yes that's interesting but do you have anything insightful to add or are you just wasting my bandwidth?
He might be a sock puppet but what does that have to do with what he said? You didn't address a single point and instead lazily copied and pasted the same crap you always post on his accounts.
I noticed you posted AC so you wouldn't care if you were modded down.
You sir are a troll. You have an automated script to reply to every post this dude makes without even reading it. You're one step up from the shitbags that post automated troll comments.
I know defending Twitter isn't a popular move however this dickhead has become worse then twitter.
I'm sick of this fucking Microsoft vs. Linux war on slashdot with Twitter one side and this Microsoft fanboi group on the other.
At least Twitter has started becoming mildly interesting however you're just yet another anonymous cocksucker ruining slashdot with your twitter meme.
I'm willing to not post AC because I don't give a shit. I'm not scared of you, what you going to do, add me to your "sock puppet" list because I disagree with you?
Schools should teach a broad horizon of computing.
If you narrow it down to teaching how to use office, which will be replaced with a different application anyway (office 2007 ribbon UI) then the student learns nothing.
The IT skills taught by educators today are horribly useless. Students should learn to do more interesting things such as programming (hello world) and how to install an OS, anyone will do.
Limiting an IT lesson to:
1) File 2) New Document 3) Type
Teaches nothing apart from how to use Office better. If that's the main motive then don't call it "computing" or "information technology", call it "Microsoft Office Class".
I disagree because the type of things the school kids would be doing on both Windows and Linux would be Open Office and Firefox.
In fact that is what most average people do so you're point is wrong. By the way just to clarify, you and I don't fit into "average". Doing anything other then Web browsing or Office isn't average.
T-Mobile has issued an official response (posted in full after the break) to clear things up, and the gist of it is this: for users with a bone stock G1, the "Off" selection in data roaming should work fine, but third-party applications can essentially override this command and wreak havoc on one's phone bill. From the horse's mouth: "Some third-party applications available for download on Android Market require access to the internet and have the ability to turn on data roaming when in use. Customers are informed whether an application will use this feature prior to downloading, but should also be aware when traveling outside the country."
So in short, disable data roaming and don't use the apps which access your internet.

Look at this screen. It tells you exactly what the app does.
For example when playing Wii Bowling and swinging the remote upwards, the wrist strap would break at the top where the plastic peice of the strap held the wrist material.
No it wouldn't because we're not dumb enough to let go of the remote.
Apart from in this case its not accurate as the people doing harm are the consumers mis using the product.
Throwing the controller around hard enough to fly out your hand and break stuff causing injury isn't using the wiimote correctly.
The instruments in the wiimote won't even register that much force, they were designed to be used slowly not to be flung around at 1 million Gs of force.

I thought Microsoft got rid of the "get the facts" FUD campaign.
Oh well I guess nothing lasts forever..
Calling her a professional is a joke. She lied in her email, "I used Linux in college".
I'm not saying she deserves it however she should have considered this before writing what she did in the first place without checking the facts.
Replace "Linux" with "Evolution" and then tell me with a straight face that she doesn't deserve being publicly highlighted.
Yes that's interesting but do you have anything insightful to add or are you just wasting my bandwidth?

I'd like to add that if it wasn't for the hordes of angry Linux users wanting to burn her at the stake she'd probably still think she was right.
It's lucky she has remained anonymous otherwise she'd be getting phone calls and letters for the rest of her life.
The original blog post seemed fine to me. His reason for posting it was to show the ignorance of people, not the blame the teacher in question.
However, this teacher made threats. She was going to take legal action and she lied, "I have used Linux in college", completely made up.
Yes they are. These are school kids, all they're doing is office and web browsing.
When you factor that in you realise it's very similar.
I disagree because the type of things the school kids would be doing on both Windows and Linux would be Open Office and Firefox.

You're right, gimp is better.
The Woosh thing was funny on slashdot, only once. Now everyone is using it and it sounds really lame.
I can only assume here, but it's probably auto generated by looking at what parts of the android API your program accesses.
No, that's wrong.
It's turned off however if you use an application that accesses the internet, that application may not respect the setting.
Hence it's the application maintainers fault, however it's also Android's fault for not forcing this in the first place.
The rules of use which flash up every time you turn on the wii maybe?
So in short, disable data roaming and don't use the apps which access your internet.
Sounds like BS to me..

You mean trademark. ;-) .. shit! (=_=)
The problem is that's how you're suppose to play but dumb people swing it around like a wild monkey.
You can play with the wiiremote sitting down without too much movement. That's how you're suppose to play.
How many adverts of the wii have you seen where the actors are throwing the wii remote around like a crazy motherfucker? None? Well there are go!
No it wouldn't because we're not dumb enough to let go of the remote.
Your example is not similar to the wiimote.
Drunks damaging themselves and the people around them because the swing the remote too hard is not similar to a manufacturer flaw.
Apart from in this case its not accurate as the people doing harm are the consumers mis using the product.
Throwing the controller around hard enough to fly out your hand and break stuff causing injury isn't using the wiimote correctly.
The instruments in the wiimote won't even register that much force, they were designed to be used slowly not to be flung around at 1 million Gs of force.
Maybe because McDonalds is right and some people are just fucking dumb.
Then what usually happens when dumb people get hurt? They sue because nothing is ever their fault, hence why they're dumb in the first place.
I'm going to have to said with the evil company this time seeming as there are idiots that kill themselves by drinking too much water.
Should we sue the water company if that happens?
Not if the driver is ignoring driving laws and kills himself.
If you ignore the rules to the wii mote and break your TV, it's your problem.
