The problem is the way curriculums are designed. In Grade X, students are required to be taught this, this, and that. More time and effort must be put into helping those who struggle, lest they won't be prepared for Grade X+1. There's little room for letting the smartest go beyond what's required. We really ought to let students advance (in a particular subject) at whatever pace they're capable of, rather than this one size fits all, everybody moves up one grade per year (in all subjects).
Am I the only one who's annoyed by software being referred to as "secret sauce"? As a software developer is sounds like either they're trivializing the work that goes into writing complicated software, or they're trying to dumb down their statements unnecessary.
I take it you've never actually run a business. Unless you're running a mundane manual labor business (assembly line work, fruit picking, etc), employees are not expenses. They are the lifeblood of the company. You need their creativity and vitality for the company to prosper, because the employees are the company. Without the employees the company dies.
Unfortunately, far too many companies don't think that way.
How about we let parents decide whether it's ethical for them?
Thats begging the question: Its only OK to let the parents decide whats ethical, if your stance on abortion is correct. If it isnt, your argument would be akin to "why not let the parents decide if they want to abandon their newborn".
Not trying to be flame/troll bait here (even tho I likely will be modded as such), but the entire argument from most prolifers is that the fetus is every bit as human as a newborn is. Unless you start off by assuming theyre wrong (again, begging the question), you cant just say "well, lets let the parents decide whether thats true"-- because we DONT take that stance with a baby post-birth.
Actually we do let parents give up the baby post-birth... it's called adoption. Granted, that's not "abandoning their newborn" in the leave it on a doorstep or in a dumpster sense, but they do have a legal option to get rid of the kid post-birth.
Part of the problem with NCLB is that assumes that failing students always, always, always have a singular cause (teachers), and there's only one solution (closing the worst scoring schools). There can never, ever be any other cause, and there's no other possible solution.
Well, for one being a developer is a lot less stable (unless you go public sector like I did, where the pay is miserable). For another, it requires more education and talent. I could easily teach any high school subject with the exception of biology and maybe chemistry, but most high school teachers would likely have no idea how to code. Not saying there's anything wrong with being a teacher, but teacher pay should be consumerate with the difficulty of the subject. I can't think of a single good reason that an elementary teacher (who really only requires a 6th grade education and a bit of patience) should make 20% more than a high school math teacher, who needs to know subjects like trig and calc well enough to teach them, and has to deal with obnoxious teenagers all day.
Umm... there's more to teaching than simply knowing the material you're teaching. To use your example of 6th graders, I can't imagine its easy to keep a room of 30 6th graders quiet and behaved long enough to accomplish anything. Not to mention teaching the material in such a way that it sinks in for the bulk of them.
If you want to display it, you have to decrypt it. There is no magical DVD player that plays encrypted DVDs without de-CSSing the data it reads. What "legal" way are you referring to?
I would presume he asking if there's a properly licensed DVD player for Linux. Some googling only turned up old articles about the aforementioned LinDVD. So it would appear the answer is no.
Receiving more than a months worth of insulin at once is going to take much more than a twinkie. Also the attack disables the vibration that indicates to the patient that he/she is receiving a dose.

Sorry the former... Puts on dunce-cap.
To construct a starship over the next 100 years? Or to build a starship that will travel (to another star system) over a period of 100 years?
The latter
The ruling in the article you linked was not by SCOTUS... it was a Federal Appeals court. But your point still stands.
The solution to too few men getting degrees is to ban women from getting degrees???
Well then... Push the button, Frank!
Good point.
If there were a Carrington event (or worse a "near extinction" event), would anyone care about indie-games?

Very nice game.

You didn't say kill, you said abandon.

According to TFA, the money actually goes to Verisign, not Microsoft.
Sorry, didn't think anyone would want know that much. Yes it was Watchbird. Here's another link:

"Masters of Science Fiction" had an episode about exactly this... it was a bad idea.

Please don't give MS such a bad idea...
+1... fear of jail time isn't the only reason not to do something you know to be wrong/immoral.

Sheesh... it's in the headline of TFA.

What does that have to do with Customs/Border Patrol?
