They are that way because of the system, not the teachers. Those kids that do not give a damn, as often as not, are the intelligent ones simply cannot go at the same pace as the rest of the class and still give a damn.
Most of the rest of Those kids that do not give a damn are boys continually alienated by a school system designed for girls and women teachers.
Actually, I would buy both (except for the other planet thing). Asia was about a thousand years ahead of the rest of the word. They invented most of the math before the West reinvented it. I would even go so far as to say, I am fairly confident that some Asian, long before the Write brothers, had a decent working flying machine. But at the time before all these other inventions, it would of simply been a curiosity and plaything, with no real use, so would of been quickly forgotten. There are very few things that were not first invented in Asia, how many of those happened in India, I would not hazard a guess.

You could either lock down the Internet so much that it loses all usefulness, or allow enough freedom for the strong to prey on the weak. To allow any un-monitored interaction between individuals is guaranteeing that the age old tricks of crime will be easily employable and profitable.
I stopping following Xbox homebrew at 360, but Microsoft as a whole and the Xbox series have never used security that was not easily overcome. I doubt that the Xbox One will buck this trend.
OK, so what is the security around the Xbox One's SDK? It this article seriously about how a "hacker group" downloaded the publicly available SDK, and then, in breach of the licencing agreement, hosted their own copy of it?
I have been using Android for over a year now, and that is a horrible idea. It is a seriously broken OS. Completely unstable, with horrendous updates that break and completely change functionality every month or two.
And that is not even mentioning how that would completely ruin the hybrid aspect of it. You could never use it as a fully functioning laptop, and everything about it would be designed for a screen 10% the size.
Ya, sure. It is so much better to use the phrase: "The program contains a variable that stores your name", instead of: "The program knows your name". English, ect. all was not designed to work that way. Unless you want to take a week to describe a single program, it really helps to anthropomorphise it.
OK, from my understanding the US and other countries have been getting warning letters for a while now, there are even countries where the isp is supposed to kick you off (right?). But I sort of get the impression that people in the US still pirate stuff. How does is work? Am I definitely going to get warning letters now? Will I only get warning letters if I pirate popular modern things, like game of thrones? And then what? Somehow I find it hard to believe that all Canadians will now have to pay for Game of Thrones or stop watching it?
"SW architecture problem"
And the software is changing. It used to be that no one needed 64x, as all software was written for 32-bit so getting a 64-bit processor would not make anything faster. And then Crysis came out with a 64-bit edition, and other applications followed suit. The next game that absolutely blows everyone's minds, and stretches what we think is possible, will be released to take advantage of multiple cores (8-16, or possible even more), and slowly applications will follow (and this is not far away). Trust me, right now loads of people are working on this problem, and it is a big problem. We need better compilers at least, possibly brand new languages or ways of using existing ones, but everyone who has bought a computer in the last 5 years has at least 2 cores,
But is not the real point that we have hit a wall on the hardware front, while while we can easily add parallel processing power, we can not easily add processing power to processors. Which is exactly why programs will increasingly, by necessity, be programmed to take advantage of more and more cores. Yes, individual algorithms/tasks sometimes cannot be broken up even into two parallel tasks, but even single programs are 99% a grouping of many different tasks to begin with. Yes, on the big data crunching scientific research end, this will not help, but for 99.9999999% of the uses for a computer there are already a hundred processing running at all times, and most of these could get broken up many, many, times further
Quite right. And in the end no one had any reason to talk. The facility had no real worth to anyone. No one could of traded its location for leniency, and one secret bunker out of hundreds would of been easily forgotten and overlooked even by the people who did know its location.

I don't think that is how Catholicism works. If you did not want to view everything the Pope says as the divine, incontestable, word of God, then I think you picked the wrong religion.
Actually, shouldn't that make it easier? if 100% of people were already active voters, you not onyl would have a much much smaller pool to draw fresh votes form, but you would be up against a bigger opponent.
Even if we know for sure that they will not ever even be on the same continent as deployed troopers, they need to be in shape. The stereotypical obese hacker, working out of their mother's basement might cut it for an amateur, but a professional hackers needs a littler more discipline.
They treat it the same, because it is indistinguishable. How do you tell if a computer is controlled by a person and trying to view your website to buy something, or by a bot and trying to view your website so that it can take it down? There are ways to tell at the ISP level, but that would involve an ISP scanning for suspicious behavior and kicking off users. There is no way to do this on a packet level, such that the Internet can just filter out DDOS packets. Maube we should redesign the packet such that they all have DDOS tags, and require all DDOS botnets to set the DDOS tag on all packets involved in DDOSing.
Asking someone their opinion one (i.e. "has email made you more productive") never returns the same answer as actually measuring that quantity.
This survey's results do not in anyway state that email increases productivity, instead they found that there is a general public perception that email increases productivity, but that perception is far from ubiquitous (only 46% of people apparently agree).

Oh no, not those damn capitalist criminals.

Most of these passages do not really seem too clear on who is speaking. The Author of the book? Jesus? God? I am not sure who it is supposed to be.
