Are you serious, you either pass or fail this
Kind of test. Microsoft is known for creating the most hideously insecure software on the market, im not surprised they fail attempting to create antivirus software. If Microsoft was good at it, third party companys wouldnt make billions supporting windows.
No one is going to accept paying more for a "violent" video game. Even if such a tax did some how make it through to the customer, game developers will just find a way to make the "violent" game rate not-violent. On the other hand if a "violent" video game does get taxed more the end result realistically will be nothing. A person who is going to kill doesn't care about $2 more for a video game, of course like I've said before, Video games don't make anyone kill or become violent so really this is an attempt to make money. The most violent people who have ever lived never even touched a video game, so to all those "violent video games cause violence", please explain.
I always hated wood working class, they always seemed to need a massive amount of funding for what could be done by hand. In one case the computer networking course and computer eng course ( at highschool ) got shutdown due to lack of funds, kicker is the wood working course got all new wood working machines. Another course I never understood was Art, they always poured money into the Art program but frankly I never saw it go anywhere. Now we have a story about another computer course opening up and I hope this time that they decide to fund it instead of the courses where you don't even need the funding.
When the first language you learn is basic you have to learn to think very step by step. This is very helpful as you progress into bigger bull dog languages. As you move from Basic to C, C++, Python, Java and etc.... you tend to take your programming methods with you and as you take them you learn to right great structure. Once you have great structure you can learn great coding and from there you become a great programmer. So I say Basic is a great first step to take. You could apply this to other starting languages but for me I started with Basic and I think it helped me in the long run.
RFID can have its place in schools, for young kids I think it's a great idea, for teens not so much. However another interesting point is that RFID tags could introduce a new level of security in schools. If you have 200 kids and teachers all armed with RFID tags then you can simply lock the doors for the day and not let anyone else in, why is this a good idea? Simple school shooters, they can't get in the school so potentially you create a safer environment. Another great feature is being able to detect if your kids is skipping school or not! No more attendance and calls home.
Now as for people who have privacy issues with it, I can understand where your coming from however when you want to argue it DO NOT QUOTE RELIGION! The entire issue I have with Andrea is that she tried to being her faith as a reason to not wear a badge. You can't use this kind of argument, if you allow it then you must allow EVERY SINGLE religion based argument with no issue. I could just as easily state that my religion states I must bring semi automatic guns into the classroom and as soon as I say that you have to allow it! Or I could say something like I don't allow people of color in the classroom, then you need to make accommodations. Hence why I think when you fall back to religion as an argument you don't make a good case.
If your arguments however are focused on privacy and personal space and all of that then you have a case to fight and I'll stand behind you. Pick logic over god and I'll stand there and agree with you, pick god over logic and your out before you start. If RFID can be brought into the classroom with out invading the privacy of students and without being used as a means to an end of targeted advertising then it's a good idea!
I'm glad this failed, I'm glad because her entire argument fell back on religion and people have to learn that well you can believe what ever you want you can't use that belief to circumvent the rules. She was offered more then fair alternative and yet she still decided to have a fit, well now maybe she can see that well she has the right to religion, it can stay in the church and not enter everywhere else.
The health care sector looses information all the time. Over the last 15 years, two hospitials have managed to lose 5 MRI tests and 1 EEG test, digital and paper copy. I really don't trust the "security" in place with the health care sector at all.
You can't use religion as a means to get your own way. The problem with religion is that if they allow you to use it to get out of a needle or a RFID tag ( old story ) then every single time you don't want to do something they have to accept religion as a way out. They either have to accept it or not and I think it's safer to just deny it.
I'm not saying your wrong as this is an area where every person can have there own belief.
C is not a good language, but it is not a bad language, is very general, is very simple to implement on a new system, is very small (for the basic language), and brings huge amounts of code with it if you do...so it is implemented on most systems
I disagree with this, C has all the major structures in place to make it a complete power house on the desktop and the embedded side of systems. Sure C has a lot of pitfalls but if you become skilled with C those pitfalls become very powerful features. C does involve a lot of code and that can't be doubted but one of the powerful features of C is the ability that you can read it almost like a story. C is a very step by step language where you layout exactly what you want to do and it's easy to go back and see what you did, a good comment will allow you to know why you did that way.
I contrast this with OO languages like Java, C++ and C# because personally something rubs me the wrong way when I start doing stuff like System.io.print() and never see the low level buffer access or when I have an object that can start life as a "car" and be morphed into a "dog", as an exampled. To me an object is clunky and hard to work with, I feel like i never really have the low level control I want, I'd rather access the structure seat, pick it's color through an integer or char and then continue and put it together. Again this is subjective to each programmer.
About standards, C has many, ANSI, C99, C89, C01, C11, K&R, GNU, etc.... I think this is a power over a limit. Depending on what your trying to program and what platform your programming on, you can leverage features from the different standards, Where ANSI might work great in one area glib might work better in another. If your trying to stick to a strict standard then you can be safe knowning that ANSI will always leave you with fairly portable code.
Thats just what I think, I'm not saying your wrong but each programmer keeps there own beliefs.
CGI works on the Web, Alchemy is a flash based c library and there is an exposed C API for the xbox. So again I have yet to find many or any platforms on which C won't work.
Is anyone really surprised by this? C is the best overall language, it spans every platform I can think of, it's the most standarized language and above all of that simple to learn and use. C is the language for real programmers, if you can't do it in C then you just can't program.
It's a good concept, my only question is, what is the point of IT then. You can isolate smart phones on to seperate wireless networks and then ultra scan those networks. However I agree that sometimes just blocking it can be the best answer.
They need to seperate the gas from the extra taxes for the price of gas, charge for the price of gas and apply the rest of the taxes seperatly at the end of the year. I agree that different vehicles need to have a different tax braket applied! A prius ( or general hybrid owner ) should not pay the same amount in tax as a truck driver.
I pointed of Object Oriented languages because a lot of them have date handling that I've seen people rely on. You should never rely on a built in check to save your butt. You need to do the check yourself and handle it.
If you grow up with women telling you what to do all the time with out ever once giving a reason then your not going to listen. If you were a push over and didn't require reasons then that is your fault, personally if I didn't get a reason then I wasn't going to do anything. My father, uncles and etc... were always great at giving reason and all the women said "Because", Well last time I checked "Because" is not an answer and it doesn't inspire me to work hard or to respect you. At 5 I say "Because" so basically I can give the same reason to you that you give to me, so why should I listen?
If you took a look at my elementary school the reason the girls got better grades was because we had all female teachers. I wish I was joking but honestly the teachers gave better marks to the girls because they were girls! The lesson plans where always slanted towards female friendly directions, examples always were slanted with female ideas and basically they gave off an attitude that men couldn't / didn't live up.
In grade 8 I pointed this out and got sent to the office for offending the teachers. When I finally got to high school I got to have male teachers, hands down male teachers make better overall teachers because they focus lessons more evenly over genders, female teachers slant towards female only subjects but male teachers don't.
I think this study needs to look at girl vs boy marks vs male / female teachers. I'm willing to bet that the study would find that marks get a better spreed when you have male teachers and girls do better when you have female teachers.
There is one other reason that I think this happens. Boys aren't receptive to women when they are kids, we don't show the same respect and attitude to them because frankly we don't care. If boy are showing a learning attitude to women in elementary school then try to put a male teacher in the same place and see if that helps, if it does then the answer is simple.
In either case I think it's important to look at the gender of the teacher vs student and that will lead to it's own unique result.
Most of the fault will remain with the parents forgoing some mental illness on the kids part. Good parents will instill the fear of god in to the kids at an early age, step out of line and your going to get punished like you've never imagined. If parents these days are refusing to set punishments and boundaries then they deserve to be druged and shot and all of the above that happens day to day. Bad parents make bad kids and good parents make good kids.
Now I'm COMPLETELY aware the kid could have some mental issue and that alone made her do what she did, this would NOT be the parents fault and fall outside my post, I've said it so let it go.
If that is causing your software to crash or to start have issues then STOP PROGRAMMING! Proper programming prevents those kind of issues. I'm not saying that you shouldn't test for this kind of issue but if you program properly in the first place a date overflow wont crash your software. You tend to see this kind of error with Object Oriented programmers, a good C programmer will have handled this before it happened.
I'm not saying that at all. It's unfair however to make me pay more for gas because I want to drive a hybrid car. If you need money to cover the roads then charge me directly for that, or charge me in a lump sum for all the required fees. The fact I require less gas to fill up shouldn't mean I need to pay more, If anything charge the heavier and more damaging trucks a higher gas fee. A prius will cause less road wear then a truck so how about we increase gas tax for trucks and that will solve the issue.

I can think of a few ways to improve this but amazing idea.

You right on that fact but at least it's step forwards.
If done correctly a great idea, if done incorrectly a train wreck.
RFID is a really cool wireless system, you should take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_identification. I have a team that was going to use it in an interesting way to help navigate environments.
