Demographics don't necessarily mean race or ethnicity. If your school is located in a poorer neighborhood, it would be helpful to have more access to computers in school. (closer to a 1/1 ratio of people/computers)
However, if you lived in an area where people have access to Internet and computers at home, you don't have to have a computer for every single person. You may still labs, but you wouldn't have quite the need for 1/1 capacity.
This should be decided school by school, because each school may have a different demographic, and that could quite possibly change the type and quantity of technology used.
That being said, your suggestion at looking at other school districts and finding out what has worked for them is a great idea. Our school recently put in "Elmos," which are mounted digital cameras for projectors which were put into each room.
Most of my teachers started using them, and they saved a lot of time, because they could show the class the pice of paper, and not have to look/get a transparency of the paper. It also gives them more options as far as showing short clips, or powerpoints, or stuff like that.
So review:
1) Teacher workstation in each room, with projector and an "Elmo."
2) Computer labs, with thin or fat clients, depending on your needs.
3) Laptop carts, so individual classes can use a set of laptops if needed.
My guess that's where the "shared responsibility" comes in. Sure, Microsoft was responsible.
However, everyone could of built ABOVE THE MINIMUM, and no one would have known. Just because something hits minimum, does not mean that it's usable.
For the times where you want to have fun in class - it's a fun game, and it really teaches you the aspects about thinking ahead when doing functional programming.
Couldn't they just break up their programs into threads? Obviously, this wouldn't work for real-time applications, but modeling and other asynchronous programs could definitely be split and coprocessed.
Doctor: Well, we better discuss treatment now for your testicular cancer. I recommend hormone therapy.
Man: Are there any side-effects?
Doctor: A few. You will have a loss of potency. You might get some hot flashes. And when lost, you will have an inexplicable urge to ask for directions.

There's really two sides to the issue. Jerry Yang was being an idiot by not realizing that Yahoo needed to team up with someone else (MS) if they were to continue being competitive.
Secondly, Google failed to realize early that teaming up with the second largest PPC advertiser wouldn't draw HUGE notices from anti-monopoly watchers.
I personally think that it was a stupid idea of Google to even suggest it. Even though it never went through and they didn't get charges, as a consumer of their products (both as a webmaster and a searcher) I don't want them to become what they have stated they wouldn't - "evil."
Thats my two cents.
..the plumber isn't worried, because he's going to be with his 70 virgins. I think it would be an ok addition, however - it is no replacement for the current security checks.
How does that work? Do you have to burn it to a DVD and then bring it into the store for them to activate it? OR are you supposed to "activate" (aka crack it) at POS?

The title should have been "Confessed Botnet Master is a Security Professional."

Mod parent up, he makes a very good point.
I'm glad to see them trying though. It's nice of a company to realize they made a mistake, and work to fix it.
It seems as if the site has been taken by the Slashdot effect...
I usually enslave a bunch of Chinese kids and have them memorize the 0's and 1's. They last 40-70 years.
I'm still trying to figure out if they tested the disk in a player BEFORE the court room.

ha ha ha. courtesy laugh? it's "MySQL and PostgreSQL" I just didn't capitalize the first letter.
I like postgreSQL, though mySQL is certainly very nice.

I use a firewall. Thats about it. It blocks unknown incoming traffic. Only stupid people get viruses anymore.

I destroy the interwebz everyday by bittorrenting, and filling the tubes.
Sweet. Only 5 years till I have to figure out that this causes brain tumors or not!

Clarification: It actually seems as if they confused internet piracy with physical item piracy.

They use UDP. And it eats bandwidth like none other. Oh noes!
So...their quality will go down, like it hasn't done in the last 8 years...cough http://www.undeadcomputing.com/ablog.html
