Like any reference, use more than one source, use some critical thinking, and don't leave your manure detector on the shelf. With those caveats, many educators find it just fine. The problems arise when students offer the first Wikipedia result from Google as their sole authoritative source and take it as gospel. No source deserves that treatment. Not even the gospels.
Actually from recent feedback, the Roombas will be just the opposite of the Pleo - briefly useful then endlessly amusing (as you clean them, or try and get support, or watch it as you put the same piece of dirt down in front of it several times to make sure it gets picked up - actually I think that last one is from a standup routine that got laughs of recognition from the audience).
AIBOs have seen their day but they got a lot more people "ready" for robots and from my experience like LEGO and VEX got a lot of kids interested in doing something under the hood.
I'll second that second. Use both. A good craftsman can use any tool, old or new. An analog in science is when I teach kids to graph data. First we do it with pencil and paper. it can be arduous (lotsa time series data). They grumble. Then we do it in Appleworks (for simplicity's sake). They see how quick that is, and are upset of a minute or two, but they now know how to actually do it, and how to hire a computer to do it. Then I convert it to.xls and show them the big guns. Usually I'll hear "so that's what Excel is for" 'cuz odds are they never actually used it for much. Kinda like knowing how to make a hole with a brace + bit, a power drill, and an excimer laser.
I don't get it either. If Jammie DLd those materials, just charge Jammie what they would have made on those DLs. It looks like they're going after all the sharing that took place through Jammie, then thy should try and go after all the DLs beyond her for actual damages. Was this a jury of people who had never heard of any of the backstory to all this? RIAA says burn her. Jury says burn her. DOJ says burn her. The rest of the world says hold on. It's like OJ's trial. They managed to find the only 13 people in the US who didn't think this guy was guilty as hell and got them in the same jury box.
Only for a few apps that never made the jump, and classic was somehow far more stable than standalone 9 ever was. I know it shouldn't have been but it seemed that way. Maybe it was the 9.2.2 versus whatever earlier i was running standalone.
I wouldn't want anyone in this job whose head doesn't explode as soon as they are told they have to be neutral about ID. If every science department is required to offer ID on a level playing field, then every church should be required to give equal time each weekend to the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
No tears. Adobe had just as much time as any other developer abotu Xcode and Intel, and then spent the better part of a year doing their best huminahumina Jackie Gleason imitation when they failed to produce universal binaries along with most of the rest of the major developers.
On their map control panel maybe Sys 7 or so. Lat 0 / Lon 0 was labeled as such on one version of the Map panel. In the Atlantic south of the western "chin" of Africa, IIRC.
people who watch a lot of cartoon network think everyone knows what's up with cartoon network and will laugh at athf people who watch a lot of fox news think everyone knows knows what's up with fox news and will yell along with oreilly people who watch a lot of letterman can't understand how new yorkers can't recognize rupert ji isn't a deranged waiter none of these assumptions are remotely universal misunderstandings are bound to happen one big one did

Here's a shocker for you, it was a joke, based on "ms damaging the internet", the congressional tubes remark, the ms bloat concept... oh, never mind.
I thought the US congress covered this already. Though they may have dealt with the two issues separately.
Why, the royalties alone from the 2001 soundtrack they'd be playing on every leg would put them over budget.
Reevers.

I dunno, my cat runs around for about 3 hours a day and sleeps the rest. Seems pretty realistic!
We did have a Gemini robot which could find its charger, and IIRC Roombas do to. Should be easy.
And they can confiscate your grey matter, eyeballs, and the nerves that connect them.
I *wish* it was that much of a stretch to make this joke.

What's 2600 supposed to put on their back cover now?
...with quality? Somehow piracy doesn't seem the biggest roadblock to Vista sales right now.
that's the spread in the top 20 mp3 players at amazon this hour.
wake me when they can even catch sandisk.
sorry - should read "she".
and it wasn't that 'true' two weeks ago when the story he lifted this from came out.
at that point a zune was outselling any certain model/capacity of ipod, zunes were but not outselling ipods.
it's not even remotely true on the current list.

iBook G4 & iMac G5.
Painless.
No kernel panics.
Reboots only from installs who demanded it.
I miss classic, but I'll get over it.
