I don't really agree with your statement, but since I'm too tired right now to mount a decent counter-argument, I'll just leave it at that. A white person WILL have a harder time finding financial aid though (there are no scholarships just for being white).
Speak for yourself. I have much better things to do with my time, and it's been that way for a long time in my household.
The problem is, you and people like you are the minority. FridayBob doesn't speak for you, clearly, but does speak for the majority of American citizens.
I think one of the main barriers to those things (though don't get me wrong, I think they're great ideas) is that they generally mean more work for the teacher. And the teacher is already working "off the clock" at home, grading papers, thinking up new lesson plans, ect.
I thought home schoolers would be more receptive. They, as a group, are even more conservative, and are likely to condemn any and all use of IT in education.
Maybe in the bible belt... I was home schooled until high-school and I have no problem against IT in education. My parents did their best to incorporate the internet and any educational programs they could into our curriculum.
Then again a lot of parents that did home school in the area only did it because their kids had been kicked out of every other school. They didn't actually care that much about education, and I imagine most of those kids grew up to have some pretty backwards ideas about technology and the world. So that might be what you're talking about?
You're such mindless sheep you don't even realize this pity-movement is not even your own idea. It's politically useful to the Democrats and other Leftists who just love social inequalities because it means more power for them. You drank their flavor-aide. Now you think it's your own idea just like every other follower. See the funny thing about feelings is they can be extremely deceptive. You have strong feelings about this and you think that makes it real. That's another thing mature adults don't fall for.
I would have modded the AC as flamebait for this, since that's essentially what it is, IMO. The same point could have been said without the inflammatory phrasing.
Hey, here's an idea: Keep your penis in your pants!? Keep your legs crossed!
And what about the parents who used to be able to afford kids, had kids, then fell on hard times? Hard to imagine I know, but it does happen, especially in this economy...
Then again, you're probably trolling so using a sound logical argument with you is fairly useless...
Nor could I get anyone to tell me why they would put hidden meanings into text, when they could put the meaning the want in the literal text.
It depends on what you're writing. A scientific paper should probably be as literal as possible. On the other hand, being able to say two different things with the same line of text works very well for say, a mystery novel.
Honestly if you're being targeted by someone that sophisticated you probably have something incredibly valuable that they want, in which case you should already have some third-party security specialists at LEAST.
Sonic DSL still runs on AT&T lines (they resell it from AT&T), so if all you can get is 1.5 from them you'll have to hope they manage to port Fusion out to your local CO (and that you have access to it) if you're to get any better connection.

As is mentioned in a comment above, the creator used a custom texture pack for the input keypad. Still impressive though, I'd like to see that texture pack...
Not really... Just a kid with a TON of time on his hands. To be honest I could probably make something SORTOF like this (ie, basic calculator) in redstone if I had the time. It's just circuits. The higher math is impressive though, but again, just takes a basic understanding of circuits, how math works, and a lot of time. Hardly autism.
On the other hand, what if he is autistic? Clearly he's capable of doing some pretty amazing things regardless.
.What's the difficulty of doing something like that? What elements do you have available? Do you have logic-gates, math functions, full-blown scripting, or what?
It really depends on the mods you have installed. There is a mod out there that has single blocks for all the basic logic gates. But it's much harder then scripting. If you want to script something first you have to build a chip that understands the script, THEN write the script.
That's not working for me... I found the setting and switched it off but still seeing the autocomplete prediction. Probably has something do with me using Chrome...
And if they're not planning to turn it off for everyone (which makes sense, some people actually make use of it), at least give others the option to turn it off for just themselves. I personally like autocomplete but I can understand why others wouldn't, and I think we should have the choice.
Sorry, but no. Treat the industry as you want to be treated.
Ya know, the golden rule is a nice lesson we learned in grade school, but in the real world, if you treat others as you'd like to be treated, you're either treating them like dirt, or you're treating them well, and they walk all over you. It would work if everyone wasn't a sociopath and actually did treat people how they wanted to be treated, but there are too many people willing to take advantage.

I can see a bunch of scrawny nerds roaming in packs and beating down people with bluetooth headsets on.
"Luddite nooooooobs!" *punch* *punch* *punch*
I have trouble imagining scrawny nerds beating anyone down...
Anyone else notice that in one of the screenshots of the new interface the browser is showing slashdot?

To be honest, I highly doubt kids with no arms go to regular school. They go to special schools that are equipped to handle disabilities like that.

I dunno man, that seems pretty offensive to 9 fingered people... How about we come up with a more politically correct reason?

What I can't figure out is why so many people on slashdot can't figure out why things are considered news.
A lot of people here follow the "if it's not important to me why would it be important to anyone else?" line of thinking.

We need a way to moderate articles.

I'm aware. I wasn't responding to the article, but rather the OP, who was talking about autocomplete being irritating.
And if they're not planning to turn it off for everyone (which makes sense, some people actually make use of it), at least give others the option to turn it off for just themselves. I personally like autocomplete but I can understand why others wouldn't, and I think we should have the choice.
And you would be correct-they don't.

And sometimes not even then... (don't deny it, we've all been there)
