If you find a planet traveling in the same direction and velocity you are traveling in, as you are going in you could land without needing much fuel to stop. Refuel on the planet, then take off again. You'll now be traveling twice as fast.
Please explain to me how its possible that renting a classroom and associated staff is 200,000 per teacher. My whole point was that the overhead costs could be reduced if we had charter schools. Reduce them to 50K per teacher and then you can pay teachers 200K a year without any need for increased funding.
They are spending more PER PUPIL in at-risk neighborhoods. 24K in Newark and 28K in Asbury park. They outsource shitty food because they can. Meager budget?? I thought we just established each teacher brings in 250K and gets paid 50K, they have 200K a year , per teacher, to rent the building and pay other staff. My entire point was that they have lots of money, yet the quality still sucks.
Just look at how ridiculously bad the school lunch is. Things only get that bad when there is lack of competition, there's no way school lunches would be that terrible if there were a couple schools to choose from. You dividing by 8 is irrelevant... and in NJ more money is spent at at-risk schools than anywhere else.
18,000 per pupil per year in NJ, 14 student to teacher ratio = $252,000 each teacher brings in. Avg salary, 55,000. What kind of insane overhead costs are those. And these schools are all in the red anyway. Allow charter schools and I'm sure we'll get some great education considering how much we are spending already.
Why not just allow competition, it works for everything else we do. And when I say allow charter schools, I don't mean in just poor neighborhoods. The Unions shut down good charter schools and prevent new ones from opening. It seems like an easy fix that won't cost the tax payer a penny more and will hopefully lead to higher teacher salaries.
Just look at how bad the school lunches are, ketchup and pizza are classified as vegetables. It's worse than prison food. It's a horrible disgrace.
Considering the plethora of screen sizes and resolutions across smartphones, tablets, netbooks, laptops and pcs, this seems like an absurd idea. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I want the text I'm reading to be at a certain location on the screen. This location covers perhaps 1/4-1/2 of the vertical space depending on the screen. I scroll pdfs all the time, especially textbooks with mathematical equations.
I also enjoy the dynamic rendering of html that changes as I make the window wider or thinner on a wide screen monitor. Depending on the size and resolution I will find a perfect width and zoom level.
This standardization, at it's best, would render pages based on both the screen size and resolution which the browser is running on. However many problems would occur, the simplest would be merely sitting closer or further from a large 1080p screen. I'm assuming if this was implemented by someone other than apple with a new revolutionary device, the result would be chaotic where most pages wouldn't play across all devices well at all. Perhaps apple products would work well since they have a larger enough user base for those standards to work well.
However, this missed the already dynamic nature of the web. As in one of the other posts, badly designed and spammy type websites employ this already. The only site I came across that used it was the IFW, Maine's government agency overseeing fishing and hunting. They post their yearly informative newletter, magazine, which is printed, in a horrible flash 'book' where the page flips are animated. No high resolution pdf, which would be great, where I can control the zoom, think of it, you could just load pdfs if you wanted pages.
Pages that I can scroll down are nicer anyway, like high quality search engines and all the porn sites.
So clearly, if this was something useful, it would have taken off. Unless there are thousands of website developers, catering to tablets, that are begging for this feature, it seems like another mistake from Opera.
They are superstars that employ hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of high paid workers. Where would the world be without silicon valley. We should celebrate what they have created.
They never paid 90% in taxes ever (there were lots of ways to have deductions), and if you want them to leave the country in droves, that's definitely the path to take.
Once they canned this awesome new product I knew that they might be heading downhill. Google has already created amazing new products and has the ability to create more, but, as usual, the government is getting in the way.
I don't know where you got 3 trillion but both wars combined have so far cost just over 1 trillion, for the whole 10 years we have been there. So just one Fed student loan program costs the same, nevermind free tuition for all or healthcare. Just medicare was over $600 billion in 2008, that's 6 times both wars. Apparently your poli science teacher didn't understand math at all.
Yea I know and as I stated before both wars are costing around $100 billion per year. The whole point of taxes is for the military, that's why we have an income tax. I thought tea party activists were for lowering military spending but having it account for a larger percentage of government spending.
All of new england and most of the east coast has 15 available if they want it, there's just no need or want for it. I live in central Maine and it's available here. 3mbit already streams dvd quality anyway. When the cost per household for the midwest is over $200,000 it's cheaper to build a new house than to wire them up. 4G will blanket most of the US soon enough, so why waste the money.
That's just one fed student loan program, 65% of students have loans. And 100B per year is about the cost of both wars. Obama just reduced the time til the loans go into default to 15 years, so not only will students be bankrupted by the high tuition rates, the taxpayers will also lose money.
I get 15mbit to my house and it's only throttled to 11 during heavy use hours if i've been using all 15 for an extended period of time. Campuses don't distribute 15mbit across the campus, that would be insanely slow. They are talking about 1gbit to every user/household, which i can't think of any use for.
Because over $100 billion in Federal student loans are given out each year for those tuitions, and it's only going up. So the taxpayer is on the hook for those government guaranteed loans, and it's the reason why Universities can keep increasing tuition.
I also don't see why you would need 1Gbit, 15mbit streams 1080p already. I really don't need anything faster and I can't think of anything that would.
Not really, most of the big software names have P/E ratios between 10 and 20:1, so it's VERY connected. It's a bet on what the future earnings will be. Take a look at LinkedIn, they are trading at a P/E ratio of over 2000:1 right now. So to keep their current stock price, they need to grow their profits by 100 fold.
Let me clarify, only elementary school there, middle and highschool in the USA. I remember being given extra hard math problems there because they understood I was smart. When I got to the US I went to Honors classes, but the math was still super easy, and there was no benefit at all to trying harder. What did I get for taking calc 2 senior year? I got to stay til 3pm while the kids taking easier classes went home early. What did I get for taking honors physics? They only took the levels below us to the amusement park, we got to spend the day with a substitute, what motivation!?
Has anyone ventured off their campus only to find people that didn't go to college to be much taller. I TA freshman physics classes and there is a height difference just between the engineering tech majors(algebra bases class) compared to true engineering majors(calc based class). The intelligence gap is even more noticeable, yet those tech kids seem to put in more effort than the smarter ones.
And everyone I TA seems to put in more effort than I did, and none of them are going into physics.
Not sure, but I know that's one of the reasons I never tried hard in highschool. I'm still getting a graduate degree in physics, but not at an ivy league school. I think one of the major reasons is the lack of school uniforms and corporal punishment. I grew up in South Africa, who's public schools had both of those, which made it a geek heaven.

I'd take Calc 1,2,3 Then linear algebra, diff eq, partial diff eq. Then a tensor calc class and you should be ready.
They are superstars that employ hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of high paid workers. Where would the world be without silicon valley. We should celebrate what they have created.

China is rated lower than the US even though they have 2 trillion of US reserves to pay off their debt.

Well maybe if the state you are in allowed Time Warner to lay down some copper and fiber you too would be getting 15mbit for less than $40/month.

You didn't mention a single use for it.

And they crash when I hit show desktop with 50 windows opens, just too many animations. I find Ubuntu to be less stable than Windows 7.
