The more you ignore good information due to stupid references, the less intelligent you will be.
Does a pot calling a kettle black make the kettle somehow less black? Does a stupid reference to an old pop culture classic may the wisdom somehow less?
The poor content providers just don't see their feed back loop. They need to take a lesson from Princes Leia, "The more you tighten your grip the more systems will slip through your fingers."
The only way to reduce piracy is to provide content in reasonably priced timly manner. While it'll never get rid of piracy, as it seems to be one of the givens like poverty, crime, war etc. All are worthy goals to reduce but in no way will they ever be elimated, and by trying to eliminate them most often you end up making them worse as is the situation with copyright infringement now.
except that when the heat was on him Clienton decided that the best thing to do was bomb another contry. Only diffrence between the last two presidents is one was good at lieing.
"Things are never original. Anything that is done is derived from something else. Try to name any thing ever that was considered original and I bet you there are a million things that have done it before in one way or another.
All you can do is combine things that others have done to create something not seen before.
Wow you read the first page of the article so your better than most slashdoters. but the 36W 6v 6a version was on one test coil. with all 12 coils running at normal speed it should pull the 400W.
Even if you had a giant wind turbine that was 1/4 mile high and across your still using less than 1% of the total wind power available at that point vertically in the atmosphere.
If they start making large fields of 1000+ foot hight turbines I might start worring about the environmental effects. For now a small forest I'm sure has far much more effect on wind resistance than a field of turbines.
But because of bad teachers taking the easiest way out, memorization is the easiest thing to test for. Due to it not being subjective, either you memorized it or you have not. Application and evaluation are things that teachers usually can't do well "those who can't, teach." So they wont be able to teach or test on it.
What needs to happen is that classes need to be much smaller 10-20 students and teachers need to spend time with individuals to insure they are learning. A scan-tron machine may be fast but it proves nothing about what someone has learned.
You seem to be one of those teachers who think fact memorization is the only import part of learning. If someone asks you, especially in a history class, "When am I ever going to use this?" and you don't have an answer for them. You are a bad teacher. You are not conveying that there is a lesson to learn in history, and you are just forcing students to memorize names and dates.
I spent years in school robotically parroting the pledge of allegiance every day. It wasnt until I had joined the Army that I even thought about what it meant.
Please when making this joke you must leave out step 2 all together. Here it looks as though you have thought about step 2, you know there needs to be a step 2. Perhaps you will come up with a step 2 in the future. The funny thing about the joke is that step 2 was never even a consideration.
huh, huh...that took a while to click and I had to scroll back up to your post so I could laugh. Reminds me of the old proverb "He who laughs last, thinks slowest."
It's always great to just randomly ask people what their perception, or similar in system of choice, score is, role a dice and go ewwww. Then continue on like nothing happend.
That works out fine but you have to use the books at some point otherwise you'll have the greedy player that wants to have everything. As soon as you start making up your own rules as a GM the players will push you into making up more and more that will benifit them.
Of course I also have had players bent on following the rules to a tee and finding every loop hole possible. "You know if I pick A and B they negitives of each cancle each other out and I get double the benifits," type stuff.
I had one step up the rules farm from this. The best time I had role playing was the first time I played Star Wars Role playing about 1992-3 time frame. I had never played, never read any of the rules. I was given a character sheet and explained the basics of it that were diffrent that than usual Palladium and D&D2e rules I was use to and we went.
I actually had to discover what I could do and couldn't. There was also the fact that we had a really good DM/GM. and the environment was great as well. (Stationed in Korea Camp Casey and playing all night in the commanders board room)
"Business-wise, in publishing, to Kick out as many thick books as one can with the promise of teaching people how to do something they don't understand, while basically confusing or intimidating them more is great for business."
I did actually get an A in my College English class. I just don't usually type this way during quick slashdot posts. I suppose if I did try more eventually I'd be in the habit of doing so and it wouldn't take so much thought.

I jsut googled for "CIA Agents" and got over 1.6 Million hits. That's a lot of agents.
while yet idiocy wrapped in wisdom seems to be the most proliferous of them all.

so the 10 is actually binary?

number 37 on the list at .08% was "Time waisted walking around the office see what others are waisting time on."
hmm, a 47 way tie for first place?

Memorization != Understanding
Memorization != Learning
A teacher who focuses on the memorization of facts and not on the meaning of them is not doing his/her job.

Exactly. Sometimes I think the highest commented posts should be run again as a dupe in the next week or two.
Of course you'd have post duper trolls still, but at least they'd be more likly to be modded down rather than up if dupes were deliberate.
"Spoiler: Dual Core AMD64 4800+ has gotten pretty good scores."
Ohh great, now I can't even post as a no RTFA person because I know what it was about.
damn you Paulius_g
I don't consider it a dupe. More like a rerun. Slashdot news at noon, 5pm and 10pm. Maybe again tomorrow and next week too.
Did anyone find this kinda strange
Play Station or PS
Play Station 2 or PS2
Play Station one or PSone
Play Station X or PS10
Play Station 3 or PS3
What other orders can they screw up. What will be the next Play Station name PSpie? PSzulu? PS=MC^2?
Ok, one more time:
