This is amazing. Your link is great, but the funniest thing is watching it drop from 350 KB/sec to now under 50 KB/sec as more and more people find it. Ahh, the slashdot effect.

For the most part I agree. If I wanted to nitpick, though, I would say that seems to apply only when someone is calling you to a major change of style. I often find it productive to follow a suggestion that I "should" consider or possibly try something. For example, if someone says I should consider being vegan, I think it would be a good thing. I might even be inclined to try emulating a vegan for a day or a week. Of course, when someone tells me to drop my life and become vegan now and forever, they get mah horns.
I used the Saxon math curriculum exclusively since junior high, and am assisting my younger siblings with it (first through third grade so far). Understand that its focus is learning method by repetition, not answer by rote. That was John Saxon's specialty, and it's obvious as you look across the entire curriculum. You'll notice that a lot of the earlier level books were co-authored (or fully authored) by other people (usually Hake or Wang, I believe). This should lend to the point above.
Basically, Saxon's principles are not as applicable to earlier levels. Addition and multiplication are, for the most part, simple mechanics with ingrained rote for speed. If properly used, the methods will bring fruit later. My little sister, for example, was not doing well at addition in first grade, but by second, I taught her how to play blackjack. She's now (third grade) already beginning to learn very basic algebra (what it's like to replace a number with a letter, how the concept works). I predict she easily master basic algebra (what I've observed to be an above average achievement level for a high school graduate in the USA).
Later, you'll see what most people will think of as an odd progression, concepts taught early and "incorrectly" if you recognize them. For example, cutting binomials is begin with begun with simple equations like b^2 = 4ac, solve for b, etc. Yes, it doesn't really relate, but the student becomes familiar with the look and feel, and will be more comfortable with the final task.
In college, I had the opportunity to evaluate several different math curricula (my roommate's fiancee was an elementary education/math major). Out of Abeka, Alpha/Omega, and several others, I found I liked the Saxon approach the best.
I hope I've given you a little confidence in your daughter's educators. Of course this is no excuse to not take an active part in your child's education. But your post makes it obvious that you are not this case.
It's called flash memory, usb, and mass storage class drivers. I have pretty much all my users now trained to use one of those usb keychain deals or SD/CF to USB interface. For longer term or larger storage, there's always CD. Some of them prefer to use those little 3" CDRWs like floppies.
Actually, that's only partyly correct. Walking almost perfectly straight without outside interference is an inherent ability. I say almost, because barring injury or such, one of your legs is a fraction of an inch shorter than the other (I think it's the one on the nondominant side). If you set out walking in a very large area, you will eventually complete a circle with a radius of several dozen yards/miles or so.
I think that's related. I can remember things if I have remembered them recently (ie in the past 10 or 15 years). If I haven't, it takes some kind of trigger, like a smell or sound. I remember when I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled, they put me under, and I remember thinking about what they were doing (cutting this, pulling that, for over an hour), but I can't remember them actually doing it. Very weird.
There is merit to the more processing power with eyes closed bent. I've noticed that I can hear and feel significantly better with my eyes closed. I also remember things much better if I mentally reiterate them when I'm not looking at anything. It's trivial to walk in familiar areas with my eyes closed. I can usually navigate public areas without looking but once every twenty or thirty seconds, as long as there aren't people or other moving objects getting in my way (and even then, I can usually hear them). I think most people rely on their eyes too much.
We were hearing about this in the 1940's. Sooo where's our jet packs, personal helicopters, and automated kitchens?
Seriously, I think the people that dream up this stuff reduce the time to market by a factor of at least three. The dreams are great and all, but obviously not realistic.
Not specifically. I was not involved with the web designer in question. I'll see if I can get a name or something, but I dunno if they'll be forthcoming. The issue was basically that an exec (of a 15-employee company, admittedly) was concerned about his "corporate image" and wanted to make everyone see his logo and layout exactly as he approved. The "IT manager" (AKA local guy who can install windows programs) about shat his pants when I showed him what it looked like on my laptop with a user stylesheet enabled.
I know plenty about web design. The problem is college marketing majors that think they have good reason to whine when they try to use a tool (html) for something it was never intended (flashy content and absolute layout). You say I know zilch about web design? I was involved with creating the specification for HTML4.0. I don't see how it can get much closer to it. Perhaps you should look at the fingers pointing back at you.
You should. If you provide those services with them under the impression that you're guaranteeing a "consistent viewing experience", then you may be liable for fraud. I had a client sue his web designer when I demonstrated that his "perfect" page did not render the same in all browsers. I didn't even have to break out Lynx for that one.
Newsflash: The web in general and HTML and CSS specifically were not ever intended to allow an author to enforce a certain visual style. That's what MPEG is for. Simply put, you do not know what I will be viewing your web page on, and you don't need to be making assumptions that my television can display 4pt font, or my PDA feels like displaying 800x600 "content". The internet is not an electronic magazine. Get with the century.
Working with the internet is not about making a "reasonably guarantee" that someone can see something. It's about using standards to absolutely guarantee that anyone can see anything.

You speak too soon friend.

My research concurs.
And I would tell you that you're not worth my time if you're so inflexible that you can't use a standard file format (such as plaintext).

I don't understand what you're talking about. In my experience, Microsoft makes the best HTML editor hands down.

Hmm, yes, I think I would completely agree. But I suppose you can take this as me saying something about a vast majority of web "designers".
