Tell that to the group of bad parents that expect you to basically raise their children. It's not unheard of for schools to have to provide not only education, but meals, social training, and deal with behavioral issues.
Except when it comes to people in positions of authority over children there is a "guilty until proven innocent" mentality. It isn't written into law, but put yourself in the shoes of the person doing the hiring... "Do I hire someone accused of pedophilia, or not? If he isn't a pedo, great, if he is, I'll have the biggest political shit storm since the gulf oil spill."
Accusations of abuse or sexual misconduct in the field of education can and does have a huge effect on the teachers/principals involved (they become basically blackballed and can't practice their profession if they ever get laid off because no one will ever hire them), and as such I support this principal in putting a stop to it as quickly as possible.
This is a great learning tool, uses interactive 3-D models right away, and introduces basic logical structures such as for and while loops, if/else statements, and objects. HOWEVER, this is a very, VERY, basic language and should be used only for teaching and acquiring interest. You can make basic games and movies with it, but as it isn't really text based this may not be a great representation of "real" coding but rather an intro to the concepts. The language is called ALICE, it's free to download, enjoy.
Although would it be possible for this license to have close to an applicable use? Ie. Software for dealing with funeral expenses. You can only use it if you are dead, and being dead gives leave for your family to access the software license only. If you aren't dead, then they or you are breaking the terms of the license. Just a thought, obviously the terms of excessive punishment may need to be edited.
Please stop posting "Please stop posting "Please stop" " comments. If you don't like them don't read the comment section on stupid stories. You know there will be at least one.
Actually, students today have grown up in a completely technologically immersed lifestyle...the term now is digital native. These students tend to be more multitask oriented and prefer things short, sweet, and interactive. To that end, teaching chemistry is great when you use online simulations for each unit. One great website is phet learning, and another is explore learning.
I've seen witching work, and it is definitely not random chance. I hear what everyone is saying about deducing where pipes go and the like, but in my field (environmental geology) you are in the middle of nowhere, and their is no rhyme or reason as to where these guys lay their pipes. It works every time, I've never seen it fail, and in the locations I've seen and even done dowsing, there is nothing to rely on except a couple of trees, some rocks, and grass. This isn't near a road bed, near a stream, or anything. The one time the line was marked, the guy I was with tested it anyway and it turns out he dowsed the pipe about 10 feet from where the hydro company marked it...good thing too because he nailed it and they didn't, and if we would have started digging it would have made for an interesting day.
I think parent nailed the issue. Men drive like asshole (like cutting across two lanes without signalling or shoulder checking), women drive like idiots (stopping in the middle of the highway, driving the wrong way on a one way street etc.). Both are dangerous, both need to be corrected, but it is simply a difference between men and women. I personally think this is simply a fact that men have better visuospatial sense then women (on average), and are generally hopped up on testosterone.
I think the bigger issue is how it portrays evolution, rather than if it's evolution or creationism. One of the greatest criticisms I hear of evolution is the classic "I refuse to believe my ancestor was monkey", and this game supports that view by showing the evolution of an individual. INDIVIDUALS DO NOT EVOLVE. That is important. What happens is that a common ancestor, in our case a monkey like primate, developed into different groups due to different environmental pressures, so the group that slowly changed into homo sapiens was in an environment that favoured greater cognitive ability, while the group that evolved into monkeys favoured greater physical ability to climb trees.
Spore shows you playing an individual, and when you've collected enough DNA, fwoosh, you're allowed to "evolve" new features. That just helps spread a false view of evolution, and I cannot condone it.
Precisely. If you remove their pain sensors you might also remove their fear sensors. Then we would have angry, fearless cows who can feel no pain mercilessly dealing out revenge on their former masters, burning and killing everything in their path. I think this is a great idea.
Tell that to Canadian Universities which only offer scholarships if you are a poor, colored, woman. Or to the big corporations, which due to "equality laws" will higher a less qualified colored woman over a very qualified white male just so they can tell the government they are diverse.
Further to your point, who the hell wants to steal a MS idea when you can create a knock-off google search page and steal all the ad revenue? I see this design patent as trying to protect google's reputation as an excellent search engine by preventing pretenders from passing themselves off as google with poor results and aggressive ads.

Tony Hayward? Is that you?
Your power as a teacher ends at the school

Just one...you can blend it.

That's not irony.
Its hypocrisy.
And thinking that ... is stupidity.
Burma Shave?
No kidding, as soon as I heard the line "NASA kicked off Operation..." I knew it had to be a joke.

If you're only having 7 issues, why go back to XP? It has like...over 9000!
1) you get the sugar
1a) Profit
2) you get the power
2a) PROFIT!
3) you get the women
3a)Profit?
No rules have been defined outside of the US it seems.
Fixed that for ya...
And they'd both actually have the same spelling mistakes...

We all win.
Until you try to do something on your new OS...
Even for an AC, that's pretty bad. I think you owe us all a nerd card.

I have an idea! Let's put them all in cages so they can't move! That way the odds of them hurting themselves goes way down! Oh...wait...
