  1. Re:Wrong reasons for condemning. on Conservative Textbook Curriculum Passes Final Vote In Texas · · Score: 1

    Do people really develop their political and world views from classroom textbooks? The more blatantly opinionated a textbook is, the greater the chance that students will question all facts that school and society claim, leading to more open minded students. School should teach critical thinking and that no single correct way exists to view historical people and events. I'm still waiting for Zinn's A People's History of the US to become a standard textbook.

  2. Re:Considered a solved problem? on Why Linux Is Not Attracting Young Developers · · Score: 1

    Yes, the kernal is stable, but it's the GUI and other user friendly stuff that are now required to make Linux mainstream. Kids used to Windoze expect GUI based apps in Linux, and if such as app doesn't exist then perhaps they write one.

  3. Chronically lonely readers may be on What Are the Best Valentine's Day Stunts? · · Score: 2, Informative
  4. For those that use Powerpoint... on Confessions of a Public Speaker · · Score: 4, Informative

    read Presentation Zen by Garr Reynolds and you'll (almost) never use a bullet list again.
