There seems to be an unspoken rule in Britain at the moment where is seems that no one can blame parents of any wrongdoing of their child. Knife crime rising (still no where near gun level in America before you start), blame the teachers and NHS frontline nurses for not checking/reporting it. Video game addiction, blame Fornite. Huge increase in mental health problems due to social media, blame Facebook.
As a teacher at a normal British comprehensive, the vast majority of these issues stem from poor parenting, but more and more blame seems to go elsewhere.
Saying that, we're also in a current situation with Brexit where not a single politician will ever say the words "the voters got it wrong and maybe we should deal with the underlying issues of why they voted that way rather than commit economic suicide", so maybe we just don't like blaming the root cause of issues because they'd be too hard to fix.
The C in CBBC stands for children's. Surely there has to be a better, more informative source that CBBC's newsround "the home of news and fun facts for kids". Even the actual BBC website is slightly better .
We've had electric buses for a while in Milton Keynes. That 30 mile range can be dramatically increased with small top up charges at the end of the routes. Drive 5 miles, top up 4 miles, Drive 5 miles, top up 4 miles etc... Then have a big charge overnight.
Ninendo have around $5 billion in cash assets and a further $5 billion in stocks. A $240 million loss for a year (or 10) is easily survivable. Even if the Wii U completely bombs they have plenty of cash reserves to try again next generation and learn from their mistakes.
We'll have the "Slightly Less United States of America", or maybe even "The Independent States of America". It's already becoming more and more divided (from an outside perspective).
As a British citizen, I'm so used to assuming that the government is intercepting every piece of electronic communication, I get really confused that other countries are annoyed they get spied on. Do these other people actually trust their governments? Because that's weird.
How much can a donkey carry? How far can a donkey travel for before "recharging"? How quiet is a donkey? Would the donkey sounds draw as much unwanted attention? How much money would it cost to pick up a donkey in a local market and then feed it?
This is a quote from a different interview he did:
"I'd put it some place other than Planescape. I'd use a system other than D&D, because I'd want to align the player's story axes along different lines than Good/Evil or Law/Chaos to something more subjective"
So, it's just going to be another RPG then? Hopefully a good one with deep characters and excellent writing - but I'm sure sure how this will be the sequel to Planescape: Torment.
Nintendo will get my money purely because of their software; mario (inc paper mario series), zelda, metroid, pikmin, pokemon and a dozen other's that were purely first or second party exclusives. The vast majority of x-box and ps3 games I can play with much better graphics on my pc. The x-box and ps3 don't really offer anything beyond what a pc is capable of, where as Nintendo consoles do.
...that you actually thought democracy was about getting the best people with policies that would actually improve the country into the right roles. I'm only 27 and I realised that this whole democracy thing is a massive joke (especially in the UK where both parties are effectively exactly the same and the differences are superficial).
Until the system is changed to promote policies based on long term improvement (which may be unpopular) rather than policies which produce short term boosts to popularity, there's very little point in having you're voice heard. (BTW I do vote, but usually for ideals such as the green party who'd I'd probably not want fully in power but would like to see some of their ideas incorporated into current policy more often)
As a physics teacher in a standard comprehensive school in the UK, I've seen a massive rise in students choosing physics in maths recently. A few years ago very few were choosing it as it was so much harder that 'travel and tourism' or sociology and got effectively the same qualification. The schools also promoted easier courses as it massively bumped up their pass figures. Whereas now, with the changing job climate, lots of them are realising that not all A-levels were created equally and their job prospects rise dramatically doing sciences and maths (they still aren't great but they are much, much, much better).
For the keyboard aspect, you could use one of those little laser keyboards, a quick Google search turned up this http://celluon.com/products.php . Not sure if they work or had any experience with them
That Germany was at such risk from a Tsunami or Earthquake.
I still don't understand why everyone is so up in arms about Fukushima, it got hit by a giant surge of water that leveled most towns and it was, for the most part, pretty fine. If anything it should be an endorsement of the technology.
A) You can't assume every child and parent has access to the internet or computers. I work in a fairly normal catchment area of the UK and I'd say there are around 10% of families that fit into this category.
B) Too many excuses. You set homework online or through dedicated software and the pupils come back with 1001 excuses - "broadband wasn't working", "I couldn't download it", "it was in the wrong format", "printer was out of paper", "I've got it on memory stick and it still needs printing" All easily check-able and solve-able individually but not if you have 30 students. Give a child a piece of paper with homework on it, and if they lose it it's their fault (they could have come and collected a new sheet before the lesson), and if its not done it's their fault. Much much simpler.
Transparent screens still make me all fuzzy inside, but gesture based UI just doesn't interest me in the slightest. I want a UI where I have to move as LITTLE as possible. There was nothing on that demo that wouldn't have been easier with a mouse and a couple of mouse buttons more accurately, quicker and with less movement.

The problem being is, as a European looking in, I'm not sure whose social score would be lower; America's or China's.
You will always have the imaginary bugs to keep you company
What about a small laminated map that can fit in his pocket? Maybe with a hole in it so it can be tied a belt loop in his trousers.

just set up a facebook group?
5 pounds is dirt cheap. Not even enough to buy a pint in central London.
1. Yes, you start with at least two donkeys of opposite sex...
2. Depends on how much you like donkeys.
3. Yes, but it would be a tad mean.
How much can a donkey carry?
How far can a donkey travel for before "recharging"?
How quiet is a donkey? Would the donkey sounds draw as much unwanted attention?
How much money would it cost to pick up a donkey in a local market and then feed it?

I'd rather watch these short ones than be stood out in the rain (England) for hours.

Wouldn't it be easier just to make sure that cars' throttles don't get jammed or stuck?
Seems to be the thermal decomposition on ZnO
Zinc Oxide --> Zinc + Oxygen
Followed by the reduction of water:
Zinc + Water --> Zinc Oxide + Hydrogen
If the Zinc Oxide is reusable that's pretty decent, but I wonder how it compares energy wise to other methods of water separation.
