Well look at viki.com This is a site that is crowd sourcing its subtitles. Basically it is organized licensed fansubs. It doesn't cost them $5-$9 a minute to do this because it is all volunteer. There are people who love old TV. Many of them would go in and CC shows if given a pat on the back and a community. Anime has been fansubbed at no cost for years.
Fansubbing is illegal because they don't have a license to the video. CC without the video is a derivative work. Once you have legal access to the video then everything is ok. CC it falls under exceptions written into the law.
First Amendment likely trumps the ADA for videos the public places on Youtube. Requiring CC on Youtube would prevent speech. Commercial works from broadcasters likely would not be protected.
Majority of content on Netflix is old stuff that was released prior to the caption requirement. They would have to find captions for 75% of those older shows. Many of these captions exist but are not owned by people who licensed the show to Netflix. Broadcaster B captioned content that they licenced from publisher A. Publisher sold rights to content to Netflix. Netflix now needs to create captions or buy them from Broadcaster B. Broadcaster B hates Netflix and won't sell at reasonable rates.
They can crowd source it. Let volunteers add captions to old movies. There is a site called viki.com where volunteers subtitle and translate Korean television. Netflix could buy the tech and provide CC and subtitles in 22 languages for free.
Yeah but that won't happen if you buy them a bunch of tablets. Instead the teacher is going to stick to last years lesson plan that uses lasts years books. Bill is saying you need more of plan than "Buy each student a Tablet." You need device + teacher training + lesson plan + software/ebooks. If your going to have students riting papers or creating content then a pc/laptop is required at some point.
Leadership is not about being part of the group. A learder must be sepperate from the group in order to lead. There needs to be a certian amount of distance for a leader to issue commands. A leader must be independent, think for themselves, and be self confident. If your in a group you don't need any of these things. You can just follow the group. That said if you put a pack of 5-6 six year olds together one of the kids will elect themselves as leader. 5 kids will get no experiance in leadership and the 6th will get experiance in being a tyrant.
I funded this kickstarter and this guy sends out too many updates. He treats your inbox like twitter. I get an email daily from this project. Today I talked with so and so. We raised this much money. I should unsubscribe from the emails.
Possible but hard to prove. I would speculate that the denial was more political than racist. An Iranian American who supports the embargo not wanting money and gifts sent to citizens there for political reasons.
After overhearing customer Sahar Sabet speaking Farsi, an Apple salesperson, who is also of Iranian descent
It is in the first paragraph of the article linked to by the summary. The first link. Basically The saleperson understood Farsi and based on what the customer said decided not to sell her an IPad. The salesperson is not doing interviews because of corporate policy at Apple. So they can't defend themselfs on blogs. I don't know about the other incident you spoke of. Hearsay and rumor isn't the best way to judge people or companies.
I would argue that we are still screwing with nature and creating something that wouldn't have otherwise occurred naturally.
Poisonous plants exist in nature. There are all kinds of plants cows will eat that will kill them. Here is a long list of plants that can kill a goat.

His employer likely doesn't wan't him posting on Slashdot or surfing the web during the slow hours either. It really depends on his employer how ethical this is. I remember working at an engineering library in college. Some of the shifts were dead slow. We could surf the web but were not allowed to install anything.
Another thing that may be installed already is Microsoft Office. I believe Microsoft Office products have a programming language built in. At a minimum if you have Excel then you can program some stuff in the spreadsheet. Though I think you can do much more than that. Some searching suggest you can program in Visual Basic in Excel.
Chances are you already have access to some programming environments.
Have Microsoft Excel? (spreadsheet software) Then you can program in Visual Basic. (I may be wrong here, It may use something else now)
Have a web browser and notepad? Then you can do some simple web development with Html and Javascript
Ever notice some of the common passwords revealed in the password hacks are kind of not that common. Why would 40 accounts have the password Michael and another 40 accounts have the password Jordon? Fake accounts with common passwords duh.

There is an exception in the law for Closed Captions. So no it is not illegal.
First Amendment likely trumps the ADA for videos the public places on Youtube. Requiring CC on Youtube would prevent speech. Commercial works from broadcasters likely would not be protected.
Youtube has software that creates CC for a video. Theaters(Movie) provide CC already with special equipment.

There is a site doing this already called viki.com Netflix just needs to buy the tech. Not sure how well it would work for less popular stuff.

He has probably already wasted money that way and saw no results. I think he has spent money on gadgets for schools in the past.

Yes, because the salesperson was an extract of Iranian.
"...was also of Iranian extraction"
Personally, I prefer Persian infusions.
Yeah that was weird choice of words. I think the blog has changed the wording to "of Iranian decent."
Citation needed.

Good luck proving the Iranian sales clerk was rasist to the Iranian customer.

If he is working on a windows machine then there is a good chance some version of the Java JRE is already there.
Were you successfull?
