What? They still had wiring? That was nice of the thieves. Around here the thieves, although not common, have taken to also breaking through the drywall and tearing out the wiring. If a scrap thief hits a house just about everything needs repairing.
It requires an internet connection to register, but not to play. I'm sure that can still be a deal breaker for some people. My experience is limited to Valve games, I haven't had any problem with any of the games I own.
Well to answer your question directly, Socialism is still in the collective subconscious as the enemy.
To answer the question you are really asking, is most Americans who are on private insurance already see how the system is screwing them in a competitive market and aren't looking forward to giving it over to a system with no competition. On top of that most of our interaction with the existing government agencies as a consumer of their services is difficult if not downright hostile.
There are things that must be fixed in the government and in the health care system in the US that must happen before we can dream of supporting a nationalized system, but the proponents want it tomorrow and the opponents want it never. So if it gets implemented then it will be broken out of the gate.
Seriously, if there even was a.dic TLD, would you want to be there???
I wouldn't want to be there but I can think of several people I would recommend to be moved...
It is a bit more complicated than that. My job is a bit more important to me than reading the article and believe me where I work they are very unfriendly to circumventing security measures.
I didn't mean the government, I doubt that attitude has changed since government was established. I meant the attitude of parents has changed.
Little Timmy is special and deserves an A. I don't care how he actually did. Oh and it is the school and only the school in charge of educating little Timmy...
I can't RTFA at work cause it is a blog, but in this case, my guess would be: Not-distributed probably means a centralized C&C architecture which has been traditionally the case, as opposed to a de-centralized (AKA distributed) P2P type C&C architecture.
I see. Very clever. Our state funds the schools nearly entirely out of sales taxes. I've done my best to push for and get those around me to push to fix that, but when it comes ballot time the pro-school measures get labeled as "Higher Taxes" even when they don't raise taxes. The majority will not take higher taxes, which is very, very sad and even worse the state wants to drop sales tax rates even lower to "help the poor folks."
I agree they aren't getting what they should, but I hardly agree that what they get now is the same as no education at all. The real difference now versus the past isn't the attitude on the receiving end of the tax money, but the giving end.
I'll bet there are plenty of big fish that would be willing to prevent #2 long after Microsoft has lost market share because if you can do it with Microsoft SW you can do it with anyone's.
No but I did learn that some errors cost 10 to 100 times more effort to find if you manually search for them rather than letting tools do it. That there is no difference in effort to correct those errors whether found through tools or manual searching. Those errors were most often of the same class that you just corrected. And it is much more likely that someone else reviewing your material will find such mistakes in your own artifacts than you yourself are. But thanks for a peer review, now if only I could edit my comment.
I know in high school the teachers paid for many supplies out of pocket and my teacher friends now that I am "grown up" still do. My Master's degree graduation was almost put off at least a year because of budget cuts, but luckily we narrowly scrounged up enough students to make it worth the university's resources. All teachers in my state faced a 25% cut in last month's salary because of budget shortfalls.
My son just turned one; I intend with every school year to start it by asking his teachers what the parents can provide for him/her to better teach our children.
Worse than that. How much would those people want to live with "the masses", if "the masses" were completely uneducated? I just don't get people who think everyone else's problems don't have any bearing on their own lives.
If you can't be bothered to support your schools well enough that the teachers can print out tests, then you shouldn't be pissed the instructor is having to subject your child to ads to be able to afford to print the tests. This isn't even the teachers getting a (well deserved) raise, this is about not having the supplies that directly contribute to your child's education.
Ads on tests. Bad prescedant? Yes.
Can't be bothered to do anything for your child's education outside taxes? Worse prescedant? Yes.
That's great. Our school had 3 separate Java classes, 3 separate C classes, and 3 separate C++ classes: all in 3 different departments. The CPE and CS departments both offer a MS in Software Engineering and their curiculums are nearly identical except most of the classes are taught in both departments with different course numbers... With a budget crunch where they are paying only 75% of the instructor's salaries you would think someone would get a clue about the redundancy.
And numerical analysis belongs in the Math department because it is as important to any other engineering field as it is software engineering, which it is at my school.
Yes, but that is not anything that would cross the mind of the people who would have the say so about opening up documentation to open source initiatives. They aren't informed enough to know what they are exposing but they can't delegate something that is potentially dangerous to current/future products and/or the company image.
I don't use bittorrent, but frankly those (most of those) people are paying for unlimited internet access. At least that is how it was marketed. What I do uses is streaming video for alot of the shows I had been watching on TV. If my ISP is selling me unlimited internet and they decide not to deliver, I want a rate cut. If they don't have the capacity to reasonably provide what they sold me, they shouldn't be allowed to legally weasel out of providing it without penalty.

Teachers in my state get paid very poorly, but hey we have one of the lowest property taxes of any state. Yay priorities. :-/
