I think this is the most important bit. AC or not AC is irrelevant. What matters is the points brought up. In this case, the original AC was a dumbass who happened to trigger my WTF button by being a damned idiot...:)
Of course it would vary from university to university, but the AC made a blanket statement and basically found every single professor guilty. That is simply stupid.
How the fuck is something like this insightful?! Every single line is full of bullshit, by someone who clearly have no idea how things work, and is just getting talking lines from somewhere.
If it was funded by the University, you can bet your ass the University will get is share.
Please don't inject sense into his need to rant about something that is completely outside of Google's control. You see, Google *OWES* him a free ActiveSync service, regardless of whether Google had to pay others a license fee to provide it.
In that case, isn't it safer to keep it under lock and key? After all, if you keep restoring back to original, you are going to end up with an unpatched system, and that is just as dangerous.
why is it that everytime I read about a dip in apache stats, it's because of godaddy switching over? Bloody hell, they've been switching over for years, just how many effing sites do they have?
you didn't hear about IBM/Lenovo requiring you to use *THEIR* wifi cards in the laptops? A non-IBM braneded but exactly the same model, wouldn't work because the BIOS checks for it. Pretty widely reported here on slashdot.
Shrug. That has been the reaction every time this comes up. If the shoe fits and all that.
Now, there are reasonable Android users, and there are some uses that Androids are fantastic at. But every time I see a mention about using iPads, all the fandroids swarm the discussion saying why Android tablets are cheaper and just as good and so on and so forth.
It's almost like they live in a self contained bubble ignoring all other factors.
So, when you buy a computer, you don't buy software? Support? Etc? Oh, I forgot, fandroids write their own software. How could i have forgotten that. Every kid should be writing their own software stack.
Can you pull your head out of your ass for a moment, and look at it clearly? Just like the pilots were not issued iPads as a computing device but as a way to manage and replace 40 lbs of FAA required manuals, this is the same. The kids are given a device that has their books (which are effing expensive) and tests on them, and a way to centrally managed them.
What the hell are they going to do with a 2 year old samsung chromebook (as suggested by others in the original thread)? Nothing. People don't buy a device just to have it do nothing. They buy it for the ability to run software they need. Right now, Androids still don't have the software they need. It's as simple as that.
Now watch me get modded down by all the fandroids.

Who is in charge of Metro?
Remember, the last truly hated interface - Microsoft Bob - the project manager in charge ended up marrying Bill Gates...
flaming is not trolling. And some people deserve to be flamed.
This is one of those posts that need a +6.

For example, Google's famous PageRank patent is owned by Stanford:

Fucking moron moderators as well. Insightful my ass. You whole lot should be the ones locked up for sprouting lies on the Internet.
what area is this? Just a general area would be helpful.

Uh, "server" means you are serving. How do you bring down the Internet by sitting there waiting to serve content?
If you're talking about a botnet, sure. But that's *sending* by initiating connection. Servers send by replying to a connection.

you don't know how to use google? Here, try this:
site:slashdot.org lenovo bios lock wifi
enjoy.

Are you seriously trying to talk sense to AC? Do I have to revoke your cred...? Don't make me give you this talk again! :)
If you restore your VM (that hosts your email) before accessing your email, didn't that just wipe out your emails?
You need more paranoia please.
Remember the fuss a few years ago with IPSEC, OpenBSD, and the FBI?
And it was much ado about nothing. The good thing about OpenBSD is that they are anal about reviewing their code, and nothing was found.
How old were you when you had your funny bone surgically removed?
his wife was on his office computer...?
And you think those are open sourced...? Have you even tried to install a rom on one of them? How do you even find which rom to use...?
depends on your teacher/school/system.

In class quizes are not the same as school-wide/system-wide/nation-wide/international exams.
And graded each others tests. Distributed test grading. Can't beat that! Imagine a beowulf cluster of that! And runs linux too!

You really think Apple spent $250 million for that Israeli NAND design company for *NOTHING*? Holy shit.
You really think simply slapping parts together will get you a well designed machine? Holy fucking shit.
