You can find the rest of the guy's personal details on the linked website.
You cut the FUD. I also own a 8200. I'd take a wild guess and say the guy has a Geforce2. This has been the shittiest card made to date. It would either have a fatal error or lock up just about once a day. Dell never released any working drivers with acceptable performance. This problem doesn't exist with the GeForce4, which I upgraded to recently.
I bought my Dell Inspiron 8200 (notebook) without a floppy drive so I could tote around an extra battery. I make a bootable CD-ROM from a Windows 98 boot floppy image and burn the BIOS file to the disk. I boot up the CD and flash my BIOS. Works like a charm.
Well, I don't know much about the 49, except that it doesn't have an IR port, which sucks if you want to trade stuff with somebody. Plus it's a little bit more expensive than the older models.
48GX - IR and a card slots (to add memory, or buy cards with things such as chemistry, etc.)
48G+ - Same as GX, but cheaper but no card slot. Best bet for just about anybody since it's only $83.
Check out this online reseller. It's the cheapest I've found when I briefly looked around. It's where I bought my HPGX 4 years ago for $213. It's amazing how prices have gone down.
I have @home service and I'm wondering that too. Remember, that's 128 kilobits/second which equals 16 kilobytes/sec. That's not even enough to do decent P2P sharing.
Somebody found this insightful? Please explain how your personal life is in jeopardy by telling them your zip code, age, and sex. I'm assuming you're not the only person living in your zip code, although you sure as hell do seem to be in your own little world.
To me, it sounds like Geocities wants people to sign up so that they'll also (hopefully) set up a website, etc. and then people will view their banner ads. I'm sure if Geocities didn't like HotOrNot using them then they would do something to stop it. But that does not appear to be the case.
Try reading the article before you reply. It helps. I had a hard time deciding whether to mod you "Overrated" or reply. But I'm replying.
As Jim began working on the solution, it occurred to me that some companies might actually want to host peoples' photos and pay us a bounty for sending them users. By directing our users to these companies, we turned one of our major costs into a revenue stream.
I assume that since they receive money for sending users to sign up for Geocities accounts, Geocities is allowing them to do this.
My state (South Carolina) requires a "computer science" class to graduate. Guess what they define "computer science" as? Microsoft Windows and Office. My highschool doesn't offer *any* real classes pertaining to programming, but they think they're really on top of this technology stuff. Unfortunately, they don't realize that there are other aspects of computing other than "point 'n click." Hell, weren't public schools teaching Pascal 10 years ago? I'd settle for a class in that.
In the past, they have offered Visual Basic as a course, but it never took off because not enough people signed up for it. I didn't even sign up for it because I knew that one of the ignorant Windows/Office teachers would end up teaching it and it'd just be a waste of time. Hell, this teacher can't even get a decent webpage together:
Next year is my senior year. It's too late to get some real computer science classes incorporated into the curriculum, but I'm going to try and inform those in charge of the curriculum what a horrid job they're doing in the area of computers so that people like me may have a chance in the future.
I am currently in Honors Physics in highschool, and our teacher lets us have formula sheets to use on the test. Over the natural course of time, people will remember the important information that they use over and over again. It's more important to be able to look at a problem, examine it, know which formula to use, and how to use it, rather than knowing the formula. You can easily look up a formula. It is impossible to look up how to apply that formula to all possible questions.
You do have a valid point in regards to the memorization of English, though. I, too, have done the same (with parts of Macbeth.) Personally, though, it only helped me to understand that small part of the play. It is just much too time consuming to do that. My time would be better spent reading a play or story again rather than trying to memorize a section of it.
The parent did not specify what general grades he was talking about, and I didn't either, which was my fault.
I agree with you in regards to the lower levels.
My comments mainly apply to middle school/highschool. However, teachers have the responsibility to link memorization with application. One common example are the multiplication tables.
Well, apparently you didn't learn that you sit on your ass instead of talking on it in school. Oh, or was somebody supposed to teach that to you?
I am glad that today I'm taught how to think instead of what to think. Maybe you're thinking of church instead of school? I don't know, but I learn what to think by myself. Nobody tells me. I am just taught the basics of how to solve a problem, then I must piece the puzzle together myself. I can't always have a teacher standing by my side when a problem comes up that I have never seen before. If I learn to just "do" a specific problem, then I will never be able to do a different problem, even if the concepts behind the two are related. I must learn the concepts first so that I can apply them to any problem.
Strict memorization is not the key to anything, besides getting an "A" on your test or quiz. You may be able to recall the information that day, but what about the next day? Or the next year? I doubt you could recall it.
What is important today is application. You don't learn what 2 + 2 is. You learn how to get your answer. Of course, one doesn't have to ask themselves "ok, I have two, and I have to add two to it, what do I have now?" After applying the concept of addition over and over to the same problem you naturally remember the answer. This is the best way, by far, to learn--not only in math, but any subject.
However, if you don't know what an answer is, you learn where you can find it. It is so much more important today to know where you can find an answer if you don't know it, since there is so much more information today. It's more important to learn "how to get an answer" than "the answer." That's why teachers in math, physics, etc. give credit to incorrect answers. It's the correct steps to getting to an answer that are more important. Not the answer itself.
You had to learn how to recall trivial things, because it was the only way to survive and prosper. The best minds of my day were like that.
That doesn't work today, unless you plan on going on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Application today is the key. Not the recollection of pointless facts.
You have to give them rigid rules and test them on their grasp thereof.
I took one of those today. They are called quizes. I have another one tomorrow. It's called a test.
You can't teach a whole generation to drive society by encouraging them to feel about driving. You have to give them rigid rules and test them on their grasp thereof. And if they don't conform, then you make them conform.
You add 2 + 2 and you get 4. Hypothetically, let's say that when I see 2 + 2 I had 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. I did it differently than your way, which is the "normal" method, but am I wrong? By your standards I am.
What's needed is a better combination of the two methods. We should insist that our children learn both what and how to think. Only that way can we insure that the new generations can learn from my generation's mistakes and fulfill our promises of greatness.
So in Literature class, we should teach students that one work sucks just because, but this other one doesn't instead of explaining why it is such a good work and how to distinguish them from others that are not?
So, to summarize everything here, school today is not about remembering answers. It's how to get answers to infinite amounts of problems. There is only so much that you can remember. There is no limit on the application of concepts. Now there is something you can remember. So do it.
Ick, forget about the TI's. What about my HP 48GX?;)

Mandrake has booted just fine from the CD-ROM for the longest time. Maybe you burnt a bad CD...?
Or perhaps it's called 'a free country' where all citizens are treated equal. Oh that's right, gays aren't.
I'm from South Carolina and I found it rather humorous. However, I realize that Triangle Park is a little more civilized than most places down here. :)
Throttle your upload just a tad under your limit so that ACK packets can get through and you can download.

Is this really anything new? Women have been doing it for years.
Further down the road for AMD's desktop plans come Thoroughbred and ClawHammer. Both are on the same early 2002 schedule AMD announced last fall.
CmdrTaco should do a "make sense" check before he posts stories. It's well past early 2001.
Same here. @home is a bitch.
