We didn't need another OS. Windows 7 was still alive and well, by releasing Windows 8 they only confused / distracted the current user base. I can't even count how many people have asked me what is special about Windows 8, besides the horrible new desktop I honestly can't really saying anything. No one is ready to upgrade from 7 to 8, if they waited another year or two then the outcome would be different, they haven't given people the chance to want something new.
I got modded up for being correct. How man CSS hacks exist for IE, I don't know the exact number but it's a lot. How many webpages load perfectly in Chrome / Firefox and then completely bail in IE. How many CSS3 compatibility libraries exist for IE that Firefox and Chrome don't need. So you still want to tell me that CSS works correctly in IE? I don't even bother to program for IE anymore because of the increase in development time it takes to make sure my style sheets load correctly, more then 1/2 of the time I need to use meta tags to force IE into a run mode that will work. So how about before Microsoft claims that's webkits will break the web they get the "wonderful" browser called IE up to par with the rest of the web.
For the most part I agree with you! What really confuses me is that the 25 year old programmer, generally can't define a working requirement set to save their life. School spends so much time teaching about coding style, coding patterns, stats, calc and etc... etc... etc... but never teaches how to draw a requirement list that works. The only way you can learn that is to be given a project where you make your own requirements and see how bad you fail at it 3 months down the road 1/4 of the way into the project.
This coming from the same company which make a browser that doesn't adopt proper CSS or HTML? How about they fix IE to work correctly with CSS and then come back and say this.
Prospective: Expected or expecting to be something particular in the future.

I'm sure a 35 year old can spell perspective but it's more important to know when to use the right word. In this case I'm referencing the two different developers by age by comparing the useful work they can both contribute hence needing future tense.
If you put your information in a state is can be accessed then you deserve to be found. For those who really want to be racist, it was Bush not Obama who destroyed the US, looks like the white man destroyed his people again.
Wow who cares if I phones / iPad's get stolen. If you steel the under dog technology your not exactly doing very good. If you want to prove a point steel android phones and tablets.
Okay well thats a good point but what I was getting at was the fact that parents need to at least try. Most parents I know are so useless on a computer it's a amazing.
Parents do need to take a more active approach to "protecting" or "limiting" there children online. You always hear how a computer is filled with xxx or yyy and the parents had no idea. I think that is BS, if the parents aren't going to take an active stand then they have nothing to complain about. It's not even hard, decent security software is available for low cost and easy setup. It wont prevent the children from breaking the rules but at least if the rules are broken the parents can know they at least attempted to protect there wishes.
Believe what you want then. If I had a kid and he / she came home from school and gave me an attitude that showed me they didn't care about school, had no interest in what they were learning and had no will to complete the work, I would go find the teacher and ask her for a full run down on why this is happening to my kid. If the teacher can't inspire them to be the best they can be then why is that over paid lump sitting in a classroom.
I can do my best from a parent's view to inspire my kid but if they have no will to carry on with the material outside of the classroom then the teacher isn't doing there job and I have no hesitation in expressing that. If I was going to give my kid to a teacher for hours a day they better get the best education possible out of the system, anything less and I may as well home school them.
Well 20% bandwidth consumption based off retransmission errors and TCP headers is complete garbage, that's is just insane. No consumer protocol would be released where 20% of your bandwidth could be kill from leakage and retransmission. Most online usage calculators are complete garbage, I use to be with Rogers and every month I would get warnings about usage and when you logged in to check what you've used the widget was ALWAYS down. Even when it was up it was wrong. The best thing you can do is to chart your usage using monitoring software then after a few month compile the data and just show AT&T, they wont argue you when you put your data up, they will try to cover there butts with PR and then end up admitting they have no clue.
Right now your talking about college, lets go back to elementary school. Most good school habits are formed in the early years of your lives, in grade K, 1, 2, 3 most kids are receptive to there teachers. If you have a teacher that just throws material at you and doesn't give a rats ass then your view will probably be that homework is useless, working hard is pointless and in the end you never get anywhere. If on the other hand your teacher forces you to get involved, teaches you why you should care about school and makes it fun and engaging then your outlook will probably be different. I still maintain that a good teacher engages the classroom and instills the want of a student to learn.
My program was EXTREMELY engaging, we had projects weekly that you had to get working. By engaging yourself you got a willingness to learn more and progress your knowledge. So in college it works great!
Well I actually live in Canada but in either case this all goes back to lack luster teaching ability. It's the teachers job to assure the children / teenagers understand the material, if standardized testing is proving that different social classes aren't producing results on these tests then I would say it has to fall back to the teachers.
A great teacher is a rock star in the class room, they can rally the spirit and create just as much action in the classroom mentally as a rock band can do at a concert. What we need to find are the rock star teachers that are symbolically more like the The Who then are like Milli Vanilli.
A bad teacher will destroy a students will to learn and perform and in many cases hinder the abilities of what other wise could be a great mind. It's these teachers that lead to poor performance and that we need to get out of the education system.
It's not just in the US, the same thing is happening in Canada, we have people who get teaching degrees for the pay and that sit back and cause serious damage in a system that doesn't care.
Why would I save an email for 6 months, that's insane. If an email was so important that it needed to be kept for that long I would print it off and tack it somewhere around me so I could see it. If the email wasn't important and I was still mean to keep it I would tell the person who sent it to re-send it later closer to the date and if neither case is true then I delete it or handle it right away and make the idiot who sent it deal with me 6 months early. Email is meant for quick communication, if you don't need the quick part then print it out or just phone the person.
That doesn't really work, you can't have an African American student require 40% on test ( hypothetical ) and a Caucasian require 60% on the same test when he sits through the exact same information the teacher is presenting. The information being presented is being presented the same way in both cases, if this is leading to information uptake being different in different cultures then the teaching model needs to be adjusted to work and not the test.
I went a diverse high school and had friends from a varied set of cultures from Chinese to Indian and more. In almost all case that I witnessed there was no testing difference between my friend Will ( Chinese ), Hardeep ( Indian ) and Me ( Caucasian ). We all scored around the same mark. This was pretty much the trend for every class I took, there was no one sided mark set where you could say all the African Americans score this range and all the Asian kids scored this range.
The only real factor in the end is the teaching because if the teaching is done effectively then everyone will be at the same level. Minus the kids with disabilities because that has to fall out of scope here, if the teacher sucks then kids wont learn the material where as if the teacher is a rock star teacher that makes a difference then the skin color doesn't matter the kids will learn. So instead of curving the test to fit the bad and under achieved teaching we should curve the teaching to fit the test.
Passing should be the same for everyone, how long did we have racial profiling laws that made it impossible for equality to exist, now in one move Virginia wants to completely defeat that. If there going to profile kids based of there race do they also seat kids based off there skin color, black kids at the back, Asian's at the front so they can answer the question more easily, whites in the middle to be forgotten and average and Hispanics where ever? Same idea just a different spin, this entire concept is offensive and unethical.
Okay this is ridiculous, to sum up the issue a Non Republican, Non White man is running the country and this is such an issue for people that they need to separate from the country. It's amazing how in many ethical and moral ways the US is still fighting the civil war.

The 20 year old guy can program but the 35 year old can make requirements.
A software engineer will complain about the structure of a comment, how you name varibles and functions. A computer science major just programs.

Why does software need free speech? I don't understand how that would help it, it someone would like to explain that to me great.

Then I would look back through my lab book
My program was EXTREMELY engaging, we had projects weekly that you had to get working. By engaging yourself you got a willingness to learn more and progress your knowledge. So in college it works great!
I absolutely agree to that! The key is to not responde by throwing the rock back into the crowd.
it's not engaging a enough and a good teacher engages the class room.
