Indeed, robo singers like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber are annoying. But there have been many egregious products of the recording industry over the decades and it seems harsh to throw them in jail.
The number line is used a lot too, and they look mighty similar to the fraction line. I could see it confusing some kids. Especially as the curriculum likes so much to teach key word vocabularies and associate particular visualizations with particular concepts in such an inflexible manner
My biggest complaint with math education is that the schools seem so inflexible in it. My 6th grader is doing OK with math so he's in the "7th grade" math class. Along with, as it turns out, most of the rest of the 6th grade students. If he had done better he would be promoted to the 8th grade class.
Basically I think they just renamed 6th grade math to call it 7th grade math probably to appease parents, and the whole "early promotion to 8th grade math" would seem to raise questions over whether the 7th grade curriculum is all that worthwhile anyway, and wouldn't this bright kid be learning at a higher rate than the average 8th grader
it's just all wrong, yet these are the only options they will consider, its as if the math teachers are unfamiliar with math or at least uncomfortable splitting the class into three or four groups and teaching each group at its own pace for each major topic
If you were to double the burger flipper's salary it does not triple the price of the product. I'd be surprised if there was more than 2 minute's total labor in getting a burger from the chiller to the drive-through window. At minimum wage that's 20 cents or so, doubling the minimum wage for the burger restaurant staff doesn't come close to tripling the cost of a big mac, even less so a full meal. With the cost of oil, land, water etc. I would imagine that the minimum-wage human labor cost component of the raw ingredients was pretty low too, sure there will be labor costs for marketing etc. But those guys aren't on minimum wage.
I'm surprised that the SSDs are not internally organized as multiple units and then use some built in raid controller. I would have thought that the user could then choose how to organize the drive for maximum IOPS, capacity, write endurance, or reliability even on a machine like a laptop that has no space for multiple drives.
Not that I'm a fan of that, but there are far worse regimes. The NSA, GCHQ etc. should each host secure email systems that of course they can read, but Bashar al Assad, Hosni Mubarak, Robert Mugabe etc. (in fact anyone other than the country that runs it) should be denied access, even if they are an ally. That way a dissident could pick a secure email service from a country they trust. It's not an option you have to use, but it would be an interesting option to have.
Fine, grant the patent. But if it is ever used in litigation by the holder it should be subject to re-certification by the USPTO. The USPTO will have to verify to the court that it meets current eligibility criteria. If it does, the law suit may proceed, if it does not the patent is revoked there and then.
They should have named this release after Kent Cigarettes, then they could immediately follow it with Lung Cancer. Perhaps the successor to Kitkat could be Lard.
From the quick scan of the linked page, it seems that the leading math textbook was used to teach for an additional hour each week. It doesn't seem to me that all things were kept equal. Secondly, it has been a constant source of frustration how "locked in" K-12 schools seem to be over math tuition. They will not deviate from what is "on grade" at any cost, the system seems to be set up entirely for the convenience of the teachers without regard for the students. If a student is doing well, they may consider promotion from, 6th grade to 7th or even 8th grade. But those are the only choices and they make no logical sense to me. If the teacher has a Phd in math I can't see why he/she can't shepherd students through material that is at least slightly tailored to their needs.
save them to a micro SD card or a USB thumb drive with a neck lanyard. Even the paper-only offices can be given something that runs from batteries and will read a micro sd card. Save the printer for printing prescription labels.
they should instead re-purpose the HOV lane to be a driverless car lane operated at 250MPH. Anyone who owns a car that meets the eligability criteria and operates under autonomous control can get past the barrier and the car's computer will automatically merge it with traffic in the lane. Sure it will take 90 minutes to make the SFO-LA trip, but there's no check-in, you have your own car when you get to the destination and aside from adding a wall alongside the HOV lane and adding the automated entry barriers and lanes the infrastructure is essentially already in place. I would have thought Tesla would be more interested in building the first compatible vehicles.
I hope they're planning to make the passengers out of inconel. With no windows, astronaut-like accommodations, no bathroom for when it breaks down and leaves you stranded for hours the passengers will need to have "the right stuff" and possibly Nowak diapers too. The travelling public in general are not noted for being level headed and calm in a crisis - ask any cabin crew member for their top ten encounters with crazies.
Take the cost of the cameras, divide it by the number of students and add in 20% of the per-student attendance bonus the school gets from the government. Pay that to each student to show up. Pay less in popular schools, more in less popular ones.
yahoo news seems to have lurched to the right. It was probably fairly left-tilting before but now it seems to feature endless stories on the imaginary atrocities of obamacare, "truths" from the blaze etc. And there are quite a few ads posing like news stories that were not there before.
In this case it seems there was some middle ground found. A new Vaccine was released and the debate now is whether it is as effective as the old one.
There are lots of risks in life, when it came to vaccinating my children (and for that matter, myself) I held to the belief that they were better off with the vaccine. The herd immunity/social responsibility issue was not the prime driver for me, though it's a nice bonus. I'll go further, I think that the odds were so lopsided that it is markedly irresponsible to not vaccinate. I hope the vaccines will improve as time goes on and make the case yet stronger for vaccination. I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of people working on that very thing.
And who the hell ridicules a parent of a child lost to a vaccine (or any other reasonable medication or procedure) ? I can't imagine there would be anything other than sympathy.
Or at least have the US house and Senate host websites with a web service that lists sponsors and amounts for each member (and maybe even each candidate for election). That way instead of just seeing "Bob Fart (D, SC)" in a news story we can see the top few sponsors or more if we follow a link. Make it a felony not to update it within 48 hours.
All the BBC did was re-post some NASA images that won't be news to many here, but even this simple act was enough to make me think about aurora on other planets, what the difference between a star and a planet really is and gives me some idea of the scale of the features by comparing them to the size of the earth. That's pretty good for such a simple sequence of photos. Giving me reason to think about things outside the day-to-day routine like this is just what I want out of slashdot. Thanks.

Imagine what would happen if Atmel could develop a low cost solution that could emulate this in hardware.
When Adobe was compromised they just got credit card numbers and source code. When this system is cracked the users will lose their eyes and fingers.

Perhaps the reporter for Le Monde chose to send out the news "not before 2pm UTC as measured by the national atomic clock in Colorado".

Inexpensive private healthcare is available in the UK. It takes up where the NHS leaves off, so you're only paying for the difference in coverage.

so for the cost of a exhibitor's pass, 1000 balloons, a tank of He and a dozen vouchers for free duck calls we could be rid of the NRA forever ?

Will they save more if they purchase a hotel and rental car along with delivering the munitions ?
