If you move around alot or don't like the risk of footing repair bills renting is just fine. However if you plan to be in one place for twenty years you might as well just buy the house. Either way a big chunk of your payment will be for someone putting a chunk of money into the structure 15-30 years before they could see a return on all of the money. When you rent you just pay the interest on that investment to the landlord rather than the back, and you have literally nothing to show for it. Either way you should spend sensibly, with the payment due not more than 1/50th or your annual post-tax income. If you can't pay the monthly mortgage or rent with a single week's paycheck you need to move to a cheaper place.
And he obviously failed to take Apocalypse prediction 101 in the seminary. Never give specific dates for predictions, as it's way to easy to prove wrong when he time comes and goes.
The minimum requirement of XP are actually below the amount of memory needed. To run it with 128 MB of ram, you need quite a bit of swap space, and it runs like molasses. To get any sort of real responsiveness you need at least 512 MB of RAM. It is very well possible to run some Linux distros entirely within the 128 MB, without any swap space. Swap helps when running a browser, but it's not strictly necessary like it is for XP.
The increase you are seeing with unity is due mostly due to compositing. To prove it turn on compositing for the Xfce or Compiz for the gnome LiveCD and watch the gap close. XP doesn't actually do true 3-D compositing, Vista with aero on is a better comparison.
No calculator is going to allow you to check or fix mistakes with the ease that even the simplest spreadsheet software will. Punching in long tedious calculations by hand is not something anyone should do in this day and age.
That;s why calculators let you program in basic. You then just punch in the variables and get an answer. And you can in fact create simple spreadsheets on a TI graphic calc and visualize them by *gasp* graphing. Every graphing calculator has a memory where you call back to see and edit at least the last dozen calculations you did. Learn how the tool actually works before you criticize it.
And the battlefield is not the back country. Soldiers carry up to 100 pounds of gear for short periods. If they are carrying a laptop it's because they absolutely need a laptop, not because their too stuck up to carry around a calculator, they would love to lighten their load if they could. A laptop while powerful is simply overkill in many situations. Why use a chainsaw when a pocket-knife will do, especially when you have to carry your tool to the workplace?
Because it strengthens the part of the brain that does symbol manipulation. Learning to do long division quickly and accurately sets up the brain so it can do more complex algorithm's involving variables quickly and accurately.
No, the ruling is based entirely on that barrier. To have standing you need to show distinct and palpable legal injury that you have suffered. Since Righthaven can't or hasn't shown any legal right specific to them, (they haven't provided any evidence that they are the exclusive copyright holder) the courts aren't allowed to proceed based on the complaint filed. The complaint may be amended to show such proof and refiled, but if such a case doesn't have such proof it, a two sentence reply should get it dismissed again.
Oh and another important thing. Having a lot of adults available to interact with will improve the socialization of children more than restricting them to peers who are just as inexperienced, insecure, frightened, or boisterous as they are.
My response is, More funding towards Schools and less towards Businesses (where they are basically being paid by government to stay in USA).
Fucking wake up! Some of the titans of big business were the people most insistent on implementing compulsory education. It's like those wrestling shows on TV. Big business and Big government appear to be enemies, but every night once the filming ends they get together and have a butsex orgy. More funding simply hasn't worked and simply never will. Not in the current system, which was designed to 1. inculculate an attitude of obidience 2. make children as alike as possible (thus easier to manage and direct) 3.Sort people into social classes via arbitrarily defined criteria 4. only taught skills necessary to that role and no skills that could rock the status quo 5. to tag those considered unfit, to humiliate them and stigmatize them through various processes. and 6. Give a proper education to a selected few so they may continue this scheme.
Why the hell does everyone need to learn math at the same pace, when the parts of your brain that do math may not have developed yet? Why does everyone need to learn vocabulary at the same pace? Just between boys and girls and these two subjects, there is a two year difference of the optimal time to teach them, but we throw them all on one schedule. There is probably more of a difference between individuals than sexes. Why should we brand someone stupid just because the part of the brain that does math hasn't made all of it's connections yet?
You can provide structure without being overbearing. If a kid isn't doing anything you can present him or her with a unit of study, but if a kid is composing a list of every dinosaur name, there's no need to interrupt him. When he's done try to draw him into the next task. If you want art next ask him or her to draw a picture of one of them on the list. If you want to teach English have him write a story. Then evaluate the work and queue up a few lessons on the computer to target deficiencies. Mix the formal aspects of education with their play. In addition play is a very often a serious thing for a child, it's how they can try on the habits of adults, and to find interests that motivate and direct them in life. The sooner you can get a kid to self-regulate, the better of in life he or she will be. Also making learning something a kid does for himself, rather than something done to him can make all the difference about the perception of intelligence in society. Why else would so many meet any sign of intelligence or intellectualism with hostility or indifference?
As for the basics it takes less than a hundred hours to teach someone who can speak to read. Beyond that there are only three really important subjects; grammar, logic and rhetoric. The later two aren't taught in currents school, and the first is taught only halfhearted. Grammar is the presentation of the rules really necessary to the meaning in things, especially in respect to language. Logic is necessary to determine if things are consistent with each other, to really dig an analyze. Rhetoric is necessary for to effectively communicate with others.These are far more important than learning about colorful propaganda about Columbus or George Washington, far more important than stubling over a dumbed down science with as many elements incorrect due to simplification as are correct. If you have taught students the thee subjects I mention earlier this dumbing down isn't necessary. Beyond these three subjects you need a few practical skills say basic math (pre-Algebra) home economics (how to write a check, how to budget, as well as being able to cook simple meals and patch or mend clothing), driving, and a bit of typing/Word Processing, and some physical activity to master to build grace and confidence.. Everything else can really be learned according to what a person's goals in life are.
Charter isn't going anywhere because it shares the same basic restrictions, same basic methodologies,
Nope, it won't work. http://wiki.winehq.org/ARM Wine translates between API's, not between different assembly instructions. winelib would let developers easily recompile some x86 windows programs to run on ARM Linux. But either way a recompile is necessary. Some games with open-source engines will travel over just fine.
For those programs that will never be re-compiled for various reasons, you'll have to use QUEMU and dig out a Win98 or minimal Linux +wine. (Perhaps React-OS will be ready at that point as well)
And how are you really supposed to get a firm grasp of methodology and current advances without reading a lot of original research articles? How else are you supposed to get a feel for a cutting or bleeding edge field unless you read some of the newest research. To do original research would be even more cost-prohibitive than buying 5 journal subscriptions for each student in your class. To do any sort of real education in modern scientific fields you absolutely must be able to distribute recent journal articles to your students at little or no cost.
Hell infinite copyright wouldn't that bad if the published faced some cost for it. Say a copyright term of 10 years (which would allow an extraction of more than 90% of the rents for most authors, artists, and producers anyways) with an annual renewal available for $1000 dollars (adjusted for inflation) per year past the ten year mark. Disney can keep mickey mouse as long as they want, but it would cost them several million dollars per year. (Each work containing him would have to be renewed or he would fall into the public domain)
Not to mention there's probably some mineral on the surface that can already to that. Strip the hydrogen from it, spread it back on the planet's surface to recharge over the next thousand years.
Fusion, space far from being empty contains a lot of hydrogen. Build arrays of the surface that could bind any hydrogen that hits it, and use the fusion to power the society.
The solution would be to replace the entire school system with something like this. You could fire half the teachers and administrators and auction off the physical building. The actual classroom could be any rented apartment or small home. A parent would wither have to bee a small fee to fund a class sitter, volunteer for such a duty, or have both employment and a poverty waiver. The remaining half of the teachers (preferably the good half) would rotate though the classrooms so student could ask question in person, and to help anyone you might be having a hard time. The administrators would solve disagreements, vet materials, do the necessary accounting. Another advantage to this would be mixed classrooms. You could have a three or four grades levels in a classroom instead of just one, or a fraction of one. Another advantage would be the opportunities for self direction, (you could advance ad quickly as you were able and not have to wait for classmates to catch up), and for experience outside the classroom (internships, entrepreneurship, independent study or research could increasingly be options at higher levels of study).
The second step would be to give administrators more leeway in determining educational materials and manifests, giving wide leeway to certify private schools, and allowing districts to overlap to provide for competition and specialization. You will have than made a world class educational system while cutting costs by 1/2-2/3rds.
If you buy it used, that means there was some price which you were willing to pay for the game. If you pirate it, the price you're willing to pay for a game is to low to bother with, and you probably wouldn't have bought the game if you couldn't pirate it.
8 cups of water a day in not a minimum recommended daily serving. If you are sedentary and sit in an office all day it's way too much considering there's also a lot of water in some foods.. And you don't measure hydration by water input, but by urine output. If you pass less than 10mL of urine per day per pound of body weight, you should be drinking more.
I think the only place in the U.S. they really grow it is Puerto Rico or Hawaii , which is a low a altitude robusto coffee. All th real good stuff, arabica, is grown at high altitudes. I like Mexican beans, they seem to a slightly nutty but balanced flavor when just shy of a medium roast.
Since when has a warning light not been a warning light?
I believe the OP is referring to the low oil pressure light comes on. You should never see it unless the engine started a second ago, or if you just changed the oil and started the engines less than ten seconds ago. Otherwise it means that you have an oil leak, or that you have burnt off all of your oil. Both are bad things that could potentially lead to a seizure of the engine..
Viruses are different. While any motive power, they may nonetheless be quite suseptable to chemical reaction. Free oxygen, dehydration, wrong pH, wrong Osmotic potential, or a bit of UV, will wreck havoc on the structures of some viruses.Viruses don't tend to evolve a resilience beyond what is needed to be transmited by their normal vector. Some like the tobbaco-mosiac virus are quite hardy, but can be inactivated with something as simple as dried milk. Milk proteins bind to the receptor site so the virus will never be able to mate up with it's intended target.
So in that case, we can count the tablets and phones that iOS runs on towards the OS X total, right?
The way that Linux is related to Android is almost *exactly* comparable to the way OS X relates to iOS. If you count one that way, then the other has to count too.
No it doesn't Android has the Linux kernel and only the Linux kernel. The C library is different, and it runs in a completely different environment. Desktop Linuxes tend to have a GNU userspace, whereas android has a Google engineered user space.
iOS has the same kernel, but also the same sort of library stacks (often reduces in scope, but certainly there)
