  1. Re:Which distributions? on Linux 3.3 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Arch Linux will probably support it in a few days. The packages have been marked outdated and there is already a 3.3rc7-1 ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50893 )release in the wild that will probably be the basis for the updated to 3.3.

  3. Re:Wrongly decided on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: 1

    The only teachers that courts have ruled cannot present creationism are the science teachers. I have never read of a single ruling regarding history and social studies teachers.

    N.B. that large portions of what he said to the class was left out by the plaintiff in order to make his position weaker. As he chose for the judge to hear the case and not a jury, he was not permitted to challenge the validity, legality, or completeness of evidence provided. As such, entire minutes of discussion could have been left out in the transcripts because it was not accurately provided by the plaintiff to the court. And, as such, his arguments very well could be perfectly valid.

    The East India Company was a government-sponsored monopoly on many goods and services related to trade on the high seas. So it wasn't actually a protest against the East India Company, just a protest against everything related to the British government in regards to intercontinental trade and taxation.

    Fair use as long as they stay within the legal boundaries of it. Most of what google does is list a hundred or two hundred words from your site and then send people to your site. It's a lot different from taking copyrighted search results and a copyrighted page and advertisements, and changing them mid-stream claiming them to be google's.

  7. Re:Outlook's icon is a clock on Microsoft Kills Office Anti-Piracy Program · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If people were to use any of the KDE applications, there is a great all in one organizer application called Kontact which includes an e-mail client fully integrated into it. So yes, there are OpenSource e-mail `clients` with an appointment calendar. As for Exchange at work, I don't know of any good program that can tie into it, only replace it completely.

    (n) liberal (a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets) http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=liberal Get your facts right. The term "liberal" has been horribly mutilated by modern day American politics.

    Wikipedia pages often cite very useful sources, maybe not the best, but they do get you started. I wouldn't ever rely on Wikipedia's sources alone.

    They let me through when I bypass them (against school policy) but that is the only way to do any sort of research from school. Or view educational videos on youtube during class on the projectors.

  22. On High Schools doing more... on Bjarne Stroustrup On Educating Software Developers · · Score: 1

    As a High School student a good school I know that I am pushed to do more, to learn more. I shadowed at a school that is not as fortunate as the one I attend and I have noticed that the way they teach at the High School is far different then the one I attend. They don't have nearly as much funding as needed leading to a lack of proper equipment and good teachers who can make the students motivated. From what I have heard that is how it is across America. Maybe instead of blaming the High Schools he should blame a lack of funding that leads to this problem.
