I've got a laptop. I often fly from one end of Canada to the other. That's about 12 hours, including stopovers. On Air Canada's new planes, there are 115V jacks I can plug in my laptop and use it for the 12 hours. I could probably work with offline mode.
Also, I'm in the Navy. We don't necessarily have internet access in the middle of the Pacific. And yes, we're allowed to bring our personal laptops with us as long as we don't bring them into classified spaces.
Is it important to know, in real-time, where emergency crews are? Why? So you can chase the ambulance that much easier? To gawk as crews try to rescue people, and possibly get in the way?
Not necessarily true. The network admin can disable outgoing connections, as well as incoming. Add to that a transparent proxy for allowed protocols (preventing you from changing your ports), and the admin has locked you out of BitTorrent.
Actually, there's nothing in the program that requires stdio.h, though of course it's good form to #include it for when someone wants to add features to the program.
Actually, printf() is a variadic function (int printf(const char *fmt,...)), which does require stdio.h.
Good. As a parent, set limits. Do not rely on a third-party like.kids.us, unless you as a parent can decide what's available through it. Otherwise, someone else is deciding your kid's dose of real life, and someone else's judgement is making your child-rearing decisions.
I used to work with kids (10-12 years old). You'd be amazed what they're capable of understanding. Some kids have the potential to be much more than their instructors or parents, if only we let them see a bit of the real world.
A kid shouldn't grow up in a physically sterile world, because this prevents them from developing antibodies that keep them healthy in adulthood. In the same way, they shouldn't grow up in a mentally sterile world, because that prevents them from developing thinking skills that let them learn in adulthood.
Will only allowing.kids.us sites be the new direction for a kid-safe internet?
Damn, I hope not. One reason is that I'm not in the USA, nor are many internet users; maybe a kids.ca, kids.uk, kids.au, etc would be good for other standards of what's kid-safe.
Also, it looks like the sites are hand-picked by someone. I don't trust them to select enough of the right sites to allow kids to make informed decisions about things like religion, politics, etc (and yes, I think kids are capable of making these decisions if we allow it).
OK, am I the only one that gets annoyed at "cute" misspellings in products aimed at children? "Skools Out", "Playskool", "Toys R Us", and probably many more. Especially in, as this case is, an educational product. Yup, we'll teach your kid everything, including the wrong way to spell stuff.
Why is it required that this one room not have any network connectivity? Why not do it the old-fashioned way: tell the students that network access is prohibited.
What kind of school is this? Is it a college or university? The students are paying their way, let them waste their money by ignoring the class. Is it a K-12 school? Send a note home to the parents or disable the account of those caught using the 'net when they shouldn't.
Send him to a driving school. You get professional instructors and the use of their vehicles. You also get the most realism possible - all five senses in use, real controls, real motion.
Not everything can be simulated. Not everything that can be simulated should be simulated.
Read that site again. You'll find that int main(void) is legit, it's void main(void) that they don't like. And, according to the C standard, it's one of the two legal signatures for main (the other is int main(int argc, char **argv)).
Yeah, he says that ccache would speed up the compilation, but he specifically disabled it so it wouldn't interfere with his timings (later runs would appear more efficient than they should be).
I think it's there to poison Bayesian filters. If you mark those as spam, it gives you a higher chance of falsley marking real mail as spam; eventually you'll probably give up on the filter.
They could be behind the door, or in the door frame, or somewhere else entirely, with the light piped to a central control room. Or possibly reachable through the keyhole.

Works for me. (< and > are the keys)
Just cross-reference your results with the uniform size database. One more reason for custom-tailored uniforms.

I think the major restriction is with the MiFi, but I'm not positive.
But if nobody shows up on the 14th, the terrorists will have won!

Good. Don't hire them then.

But Alexa determines rank by the installation of spyware. Most slashdotters know enough about spyware to not have Alexa installed.

Install a sniffer on the jack (since it's outside). Let a few people get in. Get sniffer, program hacking hardware with correct signal. Walk in.
