Same here about not knowing they were banned, as I got them in at the various Russian grocery stores in Queens, NY when I was a kid (the 90's, so long after the ban was in place) 'cause they had really good toys.
Dear god, as a female I would see this as a nightmare.
And as a female, I think it could be kinda cool provided I could be in an all girl house (or at least an all girl room), but that has more to do with my religious standards then any disgust at living with boys. I've lived with enough girls that I've had to clean up after that I don't think it's fair to play the boys are slobs card. But then again, I'm in CS and like tech and all that, and only find the start-up culture a little off putting 'cause so many of the people in it aren't all that technical.
I do think you're right though about boundaries and masculine culture playing a part in keeping women from the field, but the frat house atmosphere of these places is just as much a symptom of the culture as a cause of it, though I found the whole den mother thing deeply disturbing-why are the only women being mentioned basically glorified babysitters?
Since Mongo is a database and not a framework, it should be used with a framework (for example the big Python ones, Pyramid and Django, support it), not a in place of one. This of course assumes that Mongo is more suited for his task then a plain old relational database, which I'm not so sure since it seems like the app is pretty well structured and the fields are more or less fixed.
Remember when you could go to the library and borrow an expensive textbook you couldn't afford as you needed it and 'get by'? No more of that communist bullshit allowed, am I right?
I think it depends on the school. At mine, a large public uni, professors place requests with the library to stock books they're using and those books usually end up on reserve (meaning they can be borrowed for 2hrs at a time).
Women used to make up %40 of CS students in the 1980s (Camp 2001) and make up on average a little over %35 of Israeli undergrads in CS ( Vilner 2006) and vary all over the globe. This indicates that the current US rate of about %20 is due to culture because if there was something biological going on, then the rates around the world should be roughly the same.
It goes deeper than that 'cause you can cite secondary sources, and in many disciplines most of the citations are secondary sources. The problem with wiki and other encyclopedias are that they're tertiary sources, which generally can't be used for the reasons you stated, except for special use cases where the wiki/encyclopedia becomes the primary source for the sake of the paper. For example, it's almost impossible to write a paper on wikis without citing wikis because most of the documentation is in wikis.
My mom keeps telling me that UPS is one of the world's largest users of DB2, a statement backed up in this article. They're not switching off for the same reason financial institutions don't; After pouring lots of money into alternatives, they found that mainframes have better performance.
So they're not robots, but if the girls are into fashion it's a a great way to get them started on programming while still keeping their interests in mind, They can make funky pillows for their bedroom or keep out signs for their doors or I dunno something else that a 12 year old girl might actually want. http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardLilyPad
Willow Garage open sourced the software they use to run their PR2 robot
I think Willow Garage almost had to because they were using lots of open source tools in the first place. ROS is based on playerstage, which is GPL, and a lot of the heavy computer vision stuff is OpenCv, which itself was originally open-sourced by Intel. And the deal with everyone using ROS had a lot to do with development shifting from playerstage to ROS 'cause they were similar but ROS was saner, so they became the standard in large part 'cause they improved on the existing open source standard rather then trying to create some kind of large scale shift in the community. Plus, Willow Garage is as much experimental lab as company, so I don't know if it works as a good case study 'cause it sort of has a weird mix of end goals.
Willow Garage also gained a lot of cred by taking over OpenCV from intel and actively maintaining it, which isn't something a fledgling company can do but is worth considering. They adopted the library 'cause it was critical to their business and considered something of a standard in the vision community, which meant a lot of people were already using it, so it was popular enough that maintaining it was seen as a good thing.
But most people (even on student loans) don't get degrees in accounting (or engineering, or any of the fields that really need post-secondary school training), they get degrees in things like psych and business, which lead them to be qualified for all sorts of generic jobs that may not really need degrees to do.
Cause writers/translators had to use some pronoun and most languages use the masculine pronoun as the gender neutral? Seriously though, God is genderless because he's not a physical being is one of those things Orthodox Jewish (and probably other religious) schools cover in kindergarten.
the risk is that the kids will concentrate on the pretty 3D graphics and miss the point of those funny little grey oblongs (and they probably won't be able to read the instructions if it's projected on a big screen).
So do an interactive presentation. The code being in blocks makes it really easy to have the kids code along 'cause you can point at a block and ask the room "so how many steps should he go" and "what should he do next" and run the code every time you add a block.
I'm sure I'd like having access to some kind of sandboxed Internet service where they could access Sesame Street and Disney stuff (and whatever else) without risk of stumbling across porn.
K9 (and likely most other internet filtering software) have whitelist filtering so that the only internet accessible to the person on that account are the sites on the list. It's a bit annoying to configure and requires a few days to fine tune, but most of the filters are designed to be simple enough for none computer savvy people to use.
In one report on this, commentators hypothesized that it was because most (all?) of the titles that were removed had a story (or side story) where at least one of the partners were underage, so it really may be a child porn thing.
Speaking of children's books, while they do generally give an age range, there are a number that cover topics that often get certain types of parents or 'interested adults' up in a snit.
So those parents should google the book they plan to give their child, or at the least skim it in the store, as the only books that come in plastic wrap are porn and manga (which has age ratings and a breakdown of the content/reason for the rating). Every parent I know who really cares about what their kid reads makes a deal with their child that the parent will read the book first and if it's ok, than the kid gets it (and yes, most of these people's kids bypass this censorship in one way or another-oh the wonders of the library).
So to answer your question, I'd support voluntary ratings for books - but not mandatory ones.
There essentially are, or at least if you look at hardcover children's books, many of them do give an age range on the front book flap. Also, children's books tend to be separated into age categories in the actual book store. The only category that seems to not be differentiated (though I'm starting to see it) is the teen section, but I think that's also 'cause publishers tend to lump all teens (from 13 to 19) into the same broad category.
Technically, so long as you cite the exact revision of the wikipage you're using (using the link from the history) and the page you're using is well cited, it's not a terrible source. The most basic problem with using wiki as a source is the same problem with using any encyclopedia or textbook as a source-it's a tertiary source and therefore a compilation of (often uncited, though that's not the case with wiki) primary and secondary sources rather than original work.
I think he just hasn't been exposed to much math and science above a high school (and sometimes undergrad) level, which *shock, horror, gasp* is to be expected of a high schooler, even one who's done some cool work and has the potential to do some really cool work in the field. I don't see the problem with saying celebrating achievements in science or math, especially considering that we readily celebrate achievements in the arts.
The screen, CPU and system board are often FRUs too, and the assembly instructions are even in the manual (which could be better, but at least exists). You can pretty much do a full gut/rebuild if you're inclined to (or like me and like your thinkpad tablet and don't much like the other options on the market.)

The case study for this type of thing is the ban dihydrogen monoxide movement.
We need mechanics but we also need accountants.

In one report on this, commentators hypothesized that it was because most (all?) of the titles that were removed had a story (or side story) where at least one of the partners were underage, so it really may be a child porn thing.
The 13 limit has to do with COPPA, so even if Facebook wanted to allow under 13s it can't legally without the guardian's permission.
