"I don't see how parents have anything to do with this."
I do, I see very low IQ parents causing the problem. Giving a $300 easily broken glass device to a toddler? Not bothering to learn that it stays logged in for a short time afterwards for purchases?
I cant break the law and claim ignorance.... The judge needs to smack these "parents" with clue by fours. If you are too dumb to use the technology, you should not have the technology.
"If OLPC wants a new mission, it should be to develop educational software that runs on standard Android tablets."
no.... If OLPC wants a new mission, it should be to develop FREE educational software that runs on standard Android tablets.
This is what is needed, along with FREE educational texts in native languages. one of the largest problems is that there are not a lot of books printed in the languages of 3rd world countries. and absolutely no advanced education texts.
No. The hardware never met expectations and it never really got to the kids. Most were confiscated by the local dictators and sold off. Honestly, it should have been epaper displays, but they did not want to pay for those, (epaper is still horribly overpriced) and honestly you could outfit a village with very old used toughbooks for the same price as all the XO's and the toughbooks were easier to get as well as having better specifications and rubber waterproof keyboards.
20TB of backup drives. Not that hard, although if it was really important I suggest 40TB of backup drives and 2 full backups. I'm a fan of tape for large capacity. SDLT600 would be his best solution with a small 10 tape carousel. do a full backup monthly and then incrementals every week.
20TB means he has to spend money. If someone freaks out at the cost of a real backup solution, then the data was worth less than the backup.
SO manually back up to 20 2TB hard drives on a esata interface, or automated Tape system. either way it is not going to be cheap.
What I did was I bought a china double din Android 4.0 car stereo, then put a Kindle Sim in it's sim slot. 100% free internet in my car as long as I am not a moron and try to stream videos or music. but it makes Waze work perfectly as well as pulling current weather and other info.
I already have a system that is 80X better than anything that Audi will ever sell in their cars, because it's 100% open android.
This is the industry that barely pays Best BUY wages to the pilots. They will not spend money on something like a black box transmitter. Although $100K is outrageous for a simple satellite phone data link. How about a simple iridium phone + GPS that simply sends the gps coordinates of the plane every 30 seconds? this would have been far more useful and can be build for $1500 even with FAA certification and hardening.
No what I was saying is that "writers" and "journalists" have become low IQ morons that cant even bother to research the subject they are "writing" about.
The difference between this person and a random blogger is nothing, it seems that paid journalists are now no better than a ranting amateur blogger.
flashed into the rom would be fun if they had a random X hours and erase contents mode... Nothing is more enjoyable than knowing you are pissing off whoever bough your phone. I would like random insulting popups as well.
Step 1 change gmail password. Step 2 realize you were dumb for not setting a lock screen code. Step 3 - buy unlocked Moto X used on ebay for $260 and keep it in your front pocket next time.
Communism means everyone helps everyone else, community ownership of the city and the infrastructure. Everyone is equal. This is of course horrible, dastardly, and evil in the eyes of republicans, how DARE you take my riches and give them to someone who is poor, help help repression of the rich!
Marxisim is far closer to what we have here in the USA. It is class based, the RICH have different rules to live by than the workers do, and they also live differently than the poor. The poor must never have enough to be elevated out of their class, and the same goes for the working class, they must NOT be allowed into the ruling class, but Marx talks about how you pacify both classes by allowing one here and there to be elevated by the way of lottery. Thus it gives the image of hope to them where there really is none. Marx talks about how the rich and working should help the poor to keep them from revolting and rising up.
If someone throws nukes I can tell you what will happen.
Iran will nuke the shit out of Israel and Iraq. N korea will nuke S korea. China will nuke N korea and a few areas that have been bothing them some even in their own country. Israel being nuked will also start a couple of other countries to decide that throwing something at europe is a good idea. Putin will wipe the Ukrane off the map, as well as afganastan just for good measure, and maybe even throw one at japan because of that old "we hate japan about those tiny islands they claim" disagreement.
Obama will go on TV stating that everything is ok, and he will talk to Putin. within 30 days we will be living in caves, eating our neighbors, and fighting in thunderdome for gasoline.

less than 1% of the Defense budget can run NASA at higher levels. WTF is wrong with the complete MORONS that were elected to be in Congress?
They want to save money, call all the troops home and end the frigging police actions.
Yes, there is. it is right there in the agreement that YOU SHOULD HAVE READ when you first use the store. you clicked "i agree"
What? you did not read that? not our problem.

Not only commuters, but drivers. I used to see people driving and reading a book all the time, now they just have a tablet.
My favorite was a guy passing traffic at 90 while playing a trumpet.
How dare you bring facts into this... HOLY Regan never did such a thing... the great SATAN Obama and his Stalin SOCALISIM created that!
to repent you must repeat out loud the "tear down this wall" speech 3 times with an american flag draped over your head.

Punch the hole and you can flip them over to double your capacity.
SDLT tape, sitting under 3 feet of water is still readable and recoverable. Try that with your second raid array.
Second raid is NOT a backup it's high availability.
20TB of backup drives.

Never. AT&T is known for raping it's users.

You seem to confuse Marxisim and Communism.

Cayman islands.
I suggest you also read history books, as it seems you know absolutely nothing about WW-II... let me guess, American public education?
