....it's not talking about grades, but assessments. I would assume those are supposed to be some sort of objective tests, so one way or another scores increased. While it's true that correlation != causation, it seems reasonable to at least investigate the link.
You expect a grade schooler to care about education for the sake of education?
Unless you have a much higher opinion of the us public school system than I do, grade school is pretty boring, and you don't learn much for how much time you put in.
Also, more importantly, grades and learning are very different things. I got terrible grades because I hated homework, yet I still got a good bit out of many of my classes. In high school, i got bad grades in most of my AP classes, yet come time for AP exams I still got 3s, 4s, and 5s, and I feel like I learned a good bit. I was interested in the content, I just wasnt motivated to do what I needed to do to get decent grades.
However, during my last year of high school (which just ended), I held a job as a programmer, which I got because I was well qualified, even if I was young. So far, I'm paid well and this, along with the fact that things i do have bearing on real life, motivates me greatly, so i really work to get things done, and keep my job. In grade school, what happens if you're lazy? You get yelled at, maybe held there longer even. There is no perceived reward, and at that age few kids see the value of the education, and frankly I don't blame them. Our school system is boring. Giving kids some motivation to learn is a good step towards getting kids learning and our education system back on track.
I dunno about most hentai, but *I* wouldn't stop that tentacle monster if it came for me.
But i guess most japanese schoolgirls arent like this. I'm also not japanese.
This only lags a little less than java applets on load. yay.
This will only get useful if they can make the pageload overhead as small as that of flash, etc.
I don't like my computer freaking out and lagging when I load a page.

So, wait, does this mean that more ati cards get proper 3d acceleration? Or is that still ati's fault, like I thought?
See Kids? Even Weeaboos can achieve their dreams!
Economic freedom based on what? Not questioning your logic, just wondering where those numbers are coming from.
Isn't that what an interface design competition is for? They're different things.
The NSA's job isnt to make pretty looking software, its security.

Unfortunately, this is totally the case all too much of the time.
There are certainly some exceptions, but it's the exception to the rule. And we wonder why the us is so behind on science, etc. education.

Can't we just be happy they're still not going to use DRM? It seems good enough to me, whatever the reaoning.
