We have that here too. Especially since the Robert M. case (I guess you heard of it) men are not trusted anywhere near small kids. Very annoying. I don't think the administration thing plays a big role here though. Men go into teaching or not at all, and they don't usually move away from a teaching job as far as I know
This problem is not unique to the US. Here in the Netherlands kids take their first tests when they are 4 years old! Absolutely ridiculous if you ask me. Let them play and be kids! Another problem here are boys in the classroom, or rather the fact that the teachers, who are almost always female, don't understand them and don't know how to handle them. Boys have to run, jump and do all kinds of things, while girls are more often happy sitting at a table doing things like drawing, writing and needlework. So boys are often regarded a nuisance. This 'problem' is often 'solved' by giving the boys medication. We should have teachers who actually understand kids, but these days many teachers here can't even spell properly. So we have a whole generation of kids with a shaky foundation on which they have to build all their knowledge. Thank you, governments, for saving so much money on education! We are in for interesting times.
Does the standard browser on Android devices identify itself as Chrome? I think that is then the reason why IE is dwindling. MS doesn't have any market penetration to speak of in the mobile world.
I've never even tried it, as far as I can remember. I am quite satisfied with Firefox and don't need another browser. Are there more people like me out there?
Unfortunately I live in a country where the leading (Christian) parties still think everything America does is brilliant and fantastic so we will comply without even asking. Luckily the EC seems to change its stance on the US a bit, so there is hope.
Michael Geist explains why this year's report should elicit outrage. Not only is the report lacking in objective analysis, it targets some of the world's poorest countries with no evidence of legal inadequacies and picks fights with any country that dare adopt a contrary view on intellectual property issues.
It doesn't help Africa that the Pope and George Bush both told the many many catholics there not to use contraception because... well, I don't know actually.
Most people in Africa have enough to eat. Africa is an enormous continent with many different landscapes and people. What Africa needs is leaders who actually care for their people, so they can exploit the land better and be educated.
But thanks to Geert Wilders we may be more aware of the differences between the different groups of people here. Geert stigmatizes people and does that so well that many ethnic minorities' lives are more difficult since he is around.
Crime rates here in Holland also vary by the racial and ethnic makeup of each region. And I thought there were places in the big US cities where the police doesn't really like to come anymore because the inhabitants of those places are so well armed?
Replying to myself I know, but I forgot the other debacle: our new train ticket system which is very buggy, insecure and has also cost loads of taxpayer's money.
Our (Dutch) police have a new computer system that is so bad the consensus is now to abandon it and start again from scratch. It has cost lots of hundreds of millions of euros.

They're turning themselves into a patent troll. Nice move Technicolor!
Thank you!
How do I find out who uses my pictures on the internet?
I always read the newspaper. On paper.

Who cares?
Why? You don't have to use iCloud. You can still use all the other clouds instead.
That door was open already, and kicked to smithereens years ago.
You are wrong my friend. It's your disbelief that makes you see us sitting down but in reality we do no such thing.
So? MS has been doing that for the past thirty years or so.

So we can easily ignore that report.

This. Besides, every big company knows the tricks mentioned in the article. Nothing new to see here. Why is this even on Slashdot?

We will probably build better Lunar modules too if/when we go back to the moon.
