You're right, however (IF MY UNDERSTANDING IS CORRECT) USB has this little limitation that nobody (that I've seen) notice is that it is only as fast as the slowest device on the bus.
People fail all the time, they have to learn to deal with failures in life. And by not allowing natural consequences to proceed normally, you're stunting the growth; failure is often the greatest teacher of them all. By not allowing "failure" you're denying those that need failure to learn.
You're the part of the problem nobody else wants to deal with, because they don't want to admit that some people have to learn things the hard way. I speak from experience, because I have a daughter that is exactly like this, every lesson learned is one that arises from pain of failure. But she learns from her pain. You would have me rescue her every time and avoid the painful lessons she needs to learn. If I did that, she wouldn't learn anything.
What is the option? Let the one disrupt the class so none are educated? We (in education) are under the tyranny of the minority, catering to those on the dark fringes. It surely isn't helping the 80% that want to be there and learn. Penalize the good because we're too afraid to penalize the bad?
A) Correlation does mean causation. There are plenty of poor people who do well in spite of being "poor". I'd rather show other factors, like single parent families versus two parent families, families with drug and alcohol problems etc. But we can't without stigmatizing the poor slut with five kids by seven fathers.
B) Change peer groups, or grow a backbone. This is a huge problem in some "communities" where being good in school means getting your ass kicked for making everyone else look stupid, or "selling out to the white man.
C) Carrot and Stick, not just carrot, not just stick. It also takes everyone (namely parents) being interested in the education of their children.
We also have to accept that not all kids can reach acceptable levels. Once we have done that, we can progress.
Actually, they suck at it. Have you seen the tax code? And, if they are good at it, it is only through intimidation and threats, and compliance under those conditions is the only way the protection racket works.
The only thing they (governments) are good at is making more rules and regulations.
Well, there is a sure fire way to fix that problem. Add an amendment that any politician at any level that proposes ANYTHING other than national sales tax standardization, to feed the states directly, is guilty of a Felony, subject to no less than 10 years in Federal Prison. They can revoke it, and then vote on a new one but cannot even mention a "new one" until the old one is revoked. They are not allowed to PROPOSE changing it in any way shape or form, adding conditions, controls, increasing the tax; any change is a FELONY.
Until that condition is applied and enforced, I'm against it. If Politicians cannot agree to that, then we already know they are thinking of ways to get their hands on the money.
Vote Libertarian, and keep more of your own money, and stop having it taxed, feed, confiscated by the government.
Email Noise is almost as bad as spam. All those automated emails do no "communicating" at all, even though that is what they are supposed to do. The signal to noise ratio is too much. I am reminded of the big grandfather clock we had in our house, the thing was noisy as all getup, but we didn't even hear it after awhile. Our guests sure noticed it though. Usually drove them to distraction.
Well, when the cause of the problem (Government) is proposed as the solution to the problem, then it is a problem for everyone. However the difference between you and me, is that I never proposed Anarchy as a solution, while you continue to believe Government is the cure all for all that ails us, even as it has proven it cannot cure anything.
Just take a look at the TSA, which is a perfect example of Government "solution" that solves nothing.
Corporations are creations of the state, and thus are subject to it. And the biggest mistake granted by our government to the corporation, was the legal status of a "person" (technically "entity"). When the state, gave the same rights and privileges to the corporations as that of an individual "person", all of our liberties were diluted to the point of not being liberties any longer.
The purpose of the state is to protect the liberties of individuals, which it is failing on all levels. That is the SOLE purpose of the state. Any purpose beyond that will, inevitably, lead to tyranny.
I sense the frustration you have in "corporate" control, but you're improperly blaming Libertarians for this problem, when in fact, we've had two competing parties trying to enslave us to their vision of totalitarianism. Left-wing Totalitarianism is just as distasteful as Right-wing as both lead to unrestrained government power.
Proper restraint of corporations would arise from proper governance. They would exist as an economic entity, not a legal one. The problem is that people don't care enough about their liberties, they are willing to hand them over for a bowl of porridge.
Limited Government IS better government. Limited doesn't mean powerless, it means limited power. Liberals don't like this, Conservatives don't like this, which is why they never talk about Liberty.
When Liberals start mentioning Soros(RICH hedgefund operator and convicted criminal) and GE (no corporate tax and buddy to Obama) then I'll listen to them . Until then, they are just Hypocritical Useful Idiots.
They aren't against Rich people, they are against rich people who don't think like them. There in lies the difference.
Really? Name one thing I use that I don't pay for, and I'll name three that I pay for and will never use. I'll gladly give up the one in exchange for everyone else giving up the three.
Yeah, it will be painful, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. Surgery hurts, but it is better than dying. We're just on a Morphine drip now, dulling the pain while ignoring the death that is coming.
Probably not. This is more like "cache" from a Powered off state. I doubt it is faster than DRAM, or SRAM. It might be, and that will be a game changer in other ways.
I've long suspected that we're going to start looking at all of the "memory" as it relates to speed, as layers of cache, rather than volatile and non-volatile. We will start thinking about is as moving the data from slower to faster memory, regardless of volatility.
Broadband IS Telephony... and more. It is Communication, you know, as in "Federal Communication Commission". My broadband has proven more reliable than my POTS line.
It isn't just "Get the government out of business" (think Solyndra) but also get Business out of Government (No more Lobbyists). I want to hear more politicians talk about Liberty (thanks Ron Paul) more.
Nothing is too big to fail, if it sucks let it fail. Screw those that got us into this mess.
What do we pay in taxes, and are we getting out money's worth?
THIS is the question we all need to start asking. We have runaway government and a bunch of people calling for raising of taxes and fees as the answer to our economic problems, as if that will solve inefficiencies in our market and more fairly redistribute wealth. Well, it doesn't. The rich control government, paying shills in the form of groups to pass legislation that is bought and paid for by lobbyists for all the various factions. Not just Corporations, but all groups.
In the meantime we are losing out liberties under the guise of "sticking it to the man" and "do it for the children" and "something must be done, this is something, it must be done" logic. Screw this MOB rule, it sucks. Lets get back to LIBERTY for all. Not this "all people are equal, but some people are more equal than others" crap.
Here's my thought, probably not worth the time I took to write it.
IF General Relativity is wrong, then all measurements depending upon it are also wrong. To Verify the results, we would need another form of measurement that doesn't depend on GR for accuracy at the distances and speeds we're using.
We are so dependent upon our view that if the glass we're viewing through is distorted, everything that follows would also be distorted. GR may be much like Newtonian theory of gravity, where it works fine in many cases, but as you get towards the extremes starts to break down.

Actually, "rewarding" is good until someone claims it is unfair, you know, "shorter lunch lines is discrimination".
Exactly. They are the same. Vote Libertarian.

I'll concede one thing, if our government was as powerful as Fascism, we wouldn't be worrying about this program either.
Slippery slope works both directions. Nice try though
Limited Government IS better government. Limited doesn't mean powerless, it means limited power. Liberals don't like this, Conservatives don't like this, which is why they never talk about Liberty.
ACA is not the panacea that liberals think it is. It isn't Health Care, it is just government regulation, control and will ruin American Medicine.

In other news, Biden Blames Bush for the program, Reid blames Republican Congress, and only Kucinich and Ron Paul protest loud enough to be heard.
And people think we need MORE government.
Probably not. This is more like "cache" from a Powered off state. I doubt it is faster than DRAM, or SRAM. It might be, and that will be a game changer in other ways.
I've long suspected that we're going to start looking at all of the "memory" as it relates to speed, as layers of cache, rather than volatile and non-volatile. We will start thinking about is as moving the data from slower to faster memory, regardless of volatility.
Indeed. Libertarians have the solution, but it is a painful one to those dependent upon the Nanny State and her tit.
