In the end, it is decreasing his child's overall, general knowledge. He may be extra good at public speaking, but will have no idea when it comes to chemistry. Exposing your child to many different subjects does more than help them to know where their interests lie, it also provides that with a well rounded knowledge base. You should learn a little bit about everything and then, when you go to college/university, specialize in the area that interests you.
Is this a troll? How can anyone advocate for decreasing their child's knowledge?
There were certainly subjects that I wasn't good at, but even those classes taught me a few things that I wouldn't have otherwise known.
I know you are being facetious, but just to defend my statement, the OS on the phone I have (a 9300) is crap. Not sure how the new "touch screen" models are. Maybe they are better?
I wanted to turn off all programs that access data, through the network (I don't have a data plan and the constant warnings that I was trying to use data, were getting annoying), and had to not only delete a bunch of programs but also disable the connectivity in several different places.
I have programed several pieces of my own software, done a TON of beta testing and know most OSes, inside and out. Lets just say that I am not new to software environments. There are certain expectations about where things should be and how you should be able to access them. The OS on my device is terrible and nothing is where it should be. After a steep learning curve, I was able to find most stuff but even the things that I want to do require far more steps than they really should. It's just a poorly made system.
In no way am I promoting any other device or system. Just voicing my hatred toward Blackberry. If you fail to see that, I can't do anything for you...
Wanting to save some money, I got a Blackberry, instead of an iPhone or Android. It was a stupid mistake. The phone's quality is sub-par (I had to send it off to be repaired after the screen snapped under the pressure of my thumb, from picking it up). The menus are complicated and convoluted; nothing is where you'd think it should be and somethings need to be adjusted from several different locations (and I'm good with menus. I work with computers all day). On top of all of that, the audio, on my phone model anyway, is terrible. It's muffled and hard to hear.
As soon as my commitment on this phone runs out, I am ditching this thing and never looking back.
It's more than sites that are simply hosted by GoDaddy. I host my own site on my own server and only use Godaddy's name servers. My site show up fine in Canada and in parts of the U.S., but to the rest of the U.S., it is gone.
I live in an area that has had West Nile since 2002. We are constantly finding dead crows. Even though we have been severely inflicted and were one of the first in Canada to have it, we still only have a handful of cases and only two of those were fatal. There was one old man that died in 2002 and then a second, old lady that died in 2011. That's it for the whole region.
About 20% of the people exposed to West Nile virus develop "West Nile fever". West Nile fever's symptoms include headache, body aches and a fever. Not enough to send you to the doctor though, as it only lasts a few days. Also, the end result is you wind up producing antibodies that keep you from getting it again, for the rest of your life.
The majority of people exposed to the virus, show no symptoms whatsoever. Of the folks who are exposed, less than 1% suffer from any sort of problems, beyond flu symptoms.
West Nile can be fatal in very rare cases but then so can driving a car. It's not the monster killer the press is making it out to be. Don't be fooled.
A few years back, I set up a Google banner on a forum I run. After my income reached the $100 minimum for payout, it was mysteriously closed down for "illegal clicks". I offered to provide all of my log files as proof there was no illegal activity or repeat clicks but they wouldn't hear it. There is no way to contact them other than email. No phone number. They did not respond to any of my emails. The account is still suspended, to this day. If they decide you are cut off, whether right or wrong, you are gone...permanently. Google sucks.
While I appreciate the mathematics and the problem involved, why the heck does the guy have a lawn so large that it take a full three hours to cut? This feels more like a "Hey look guys, I can afford a lawn that is so big, it take three hours to cut!" more than any sort of real request for help with the math.

In Canada, you're hard pressed to find an ISP that doesn't have a cap. It makes streaming movies, etc. a pain in the butt.
I've been using "Dreamweaver" for years. Fantastic product and well worth the investment.
I agree 100% with Peter. Using that configuration, there are no pop ups and no ads.
