Nothing is wrong with the blackboard. But, new technology does bring new opportunities. I am trying to navigate this. I want to use it, but only effectively. I don't want to shift the focus on the technology and have it hinder my lesson, but I don't want to ignore its availability and miss something that could benefit my class.
"Use, but not overuse" - is what I am thinking. But, I am young. I am just fishing for ideas.
I am looking forward to reading all of this thread, but it's now the middle of the school day. I'll be back tonight.
Honestly, if that wasn't sarcasm, then you are part of the problem. "Climate change" is the new buzz word. It, in my opinion, exposes, at the very least, the mindset of the people behind this. Those people are "buzzword hacks" and not "responsible scientist"

You do know that because of your foresight that you will now be the first to die. Personally, I am going to avoid you and the hot chicks so that I might live through this near total zombie armageddon.
Personally, it would be *much* better if we all adopted base 16 and switched SI over to that also.
Then, the merchant class would have a system easily measured by hand. Doubling 4 times to reach the next place or halving four times to reach the previous. Much easier than trying to divide something physical into tenths by hand.
Also, one place in base 16 corresponds to exactly 4 in binary. Thus, unifying the merchants with the techies.
Finally, it is easy to count to 16 using only one hand (by placing the end of your thumb on the palm side of the 12 remaining knuckles and 4 remaining fingertips (12 + 4 = 16). Using both hands we could count to the equivalent of base 10's 256. This unifies mathematicians with the merchants and the techies.
This would bring peace and harmony to the world of numbers...
What percentage of all greenhouse gas is CO2? And what percentage of that is man made? I forgot because it is a really small number, can you remind me?
If you want to stop global warming, ban water vapor.
"The US data in general should probably be ignored as the sensor network is poorly maintained and the sensor locations are very poorly planned.
As compared to what? What sensors are better?
The satellites from space are better, but those have been rejected because they don't support global warming so "clearly, there must be some effect we don't understand skewing the satellite data"
True,
There is a gap between the average computer user and the GUI capabilities.
But I suppose the truth is darker: If the average user got more educated - the average virus would get smarter and no gains would be made.
So...did I miss something? But winkey and ctrl alt delete did fine for me.
Still, I *am* impressed...it just seemed to be billed as more than it was.
Or is the joke on me for clicking the link in the first place?::runs away to sign up for lifelock::
Haha, things sure are going downhill. Maybe with the control they'll be able to wield over Vista owners, they can just stream PBS style telethons to raise money for Works installations.
Well said. This is just like the 21st century banking law. It allows banks to *instantaneously* process checks electronically (no more floating checks in the mail). But if this is the 21st century, why do I have to deposit before 2pm or wait *another* business day. Either you can do business at the speed of electricity or you can't.
To me the "don't need english to comply" is the funniest quote ("Vlad calls it the evil color" is a close second).
Seriously, when you know you are breaking the law to enter a foriegn country, do you need to know english to understand what the uniformed man who is holding a gun and yelling wants?
I don't know if I can take this story seriously. Is it a joke? Was Helga, the evil-torture-doctor-lady, unavailable for comment?
Has anybody mentioned the differences between CRT's and LCD's? How about the backlight? Man, I can't believe no one in this whole thread has thought of that yet. What a bunch of losers. You all aren't smart enough to be nerds, you are just dorks. [/sarcasm]
Crazy. If instructional works are free, won't their quality suffer? Who would bother making a nice one? Yes, yes, I want to rely on wikihow when fixing my ABS system on my car...
I think reasonable limits should be imposed on copyrights. But to deny them?...crazy.

The projector is bright enough to leave the lights on. :) I am young. I remember highschool :P

That is, until the next report comes out.
Pop sci is more annoying that pop music.
Darkwing *wasn't* dangerous. That was meant to be ironic humor. Go back and re-watch the series.

I can't believe Sunshine missed the real danger as pointed out in the article: "space hickies"
Clearly, this would be the undoing of any true Sci-Fi hero. And the fans already know the dangers regular earth hickies:
Mortgages, children, honey-do's and loss of video game time w/"the guys." What horrors must await victims of "space hickies"?

Nice to hear from a musician. That's the first thing I thought. How does the internet "stop people from...being with each other"?
It is true. Some appetites can never be sated.
