Alternatively, think of the teacher as a seed node in a peer-to-peer system. Those who learn faster can become 'supernodes' and help teach the rest of the class. Clumps of students who are at similar levels can work through their difficulties with the help of a seed node or a supernode.
Just thought I'd point this idea out, as it doesn't have to be an either/or choice between 1:m and 1:1 teaching. We can also have m:m, m:1 and any other combination. Facilitating that effectively would be the challenge.
Yes, I don't see any problem with their script requirements. Why should the American military help someone portray them in a light that they don't want to be portrayed? I would think that goes for any person or entity.
But it's important to understand that Canada is going to be moving forward with tar sands, regardless of what we do. That's their national policy, they're pursuing it. With respect to Keystone, my goal has been to have an honest process, and I have adamantly objected to Congress trying to circumvent a process that was well-established not just under Democratic administrations, but also under Republican administrations.
From http://stoptarsands.wordpress.com/:
70% of the crude oil being extracted from the tar sands is exported directly to the United States mostly for use in transportation.
Here's what I've heard batted around lately: "every year our governments give a trillion dollars in public handouts to the fossil fuel industry. A group of climate champions has emerged to take on this madness and end polluter payments at a vital UN summit this June.... What could the world do with a trillion dollars? The UN believes we could end world hunger 33 times and over. Experts also say it’s enough to kickstart a clean energy revolution that replaces all fossil fuels with renewables."
I wrote a disk cataloger years ago and was surprised at the number of CRC32 collisions I found within my own set of files (on CDs at the time - I have a lot more data today). I recall that pairing CRC32 with file size helped a lot (and probably even solved the problem in my case).
Today with Mercurial/Git you can easily create a local repository that contains your text file listing and checkin changes. Your 'hg log' will show all differences over time, which could be useful.
RIAA's evil tactics have cost them far more music sales than P2P have. Every time I hear an album I'd like to buy, I think "I wish I could buy directly from the artist to avoid paying the RIAA"... and I don't buy the album.
People worry about computers becoming too smart and running our lives. The legal and corporate framework which humans have put in place is already running our lives, and indeed computers make it damn efficient to run.
The odds of getting struck by lightning are 50 times greater than being killed in a terrorist attack on a plane.
I have no doubt there are people in the world who would wholeheartedly support a campaign to save people from lightning strikes by curtailing their freedoms.
World's most militarized nation (in dollars spent) wants to set up missile shield on their doorstep. I'd be more surprised if Russia _wasn't_ concerned.
There are lots of potential reasons for their actions on both sides of the equation: Maybe the US really does want to protect against attacks, or maybe they want to continue their march to becoming the world government. Maybe Russia feels it won't be needed anymore by its allies if the Americans are protecting them instead. etc... I've no idea.
Agreed. I could see this being detrimental to Facebook if enough people started doing it, unless the average person's tolerance for sellout shills is higher than I imagine.
Too much time spent on 'security', not enough time on jobs, education, infrastructure,... At least they'll know everything about us when the USA goes down the shitter and China, India, etc.. take over. Shit, even Canada doesn't take the US seriously anymore.
I worked for a company where the phrase "is no longer with the Company" was so common I had to setup an Outlook filter to mark them read and remove them from my inbox.
I've received quite a few salesperson related 'no longer with the company' emails but never so many as want to create a filter. That's unreal!

SpaceX has come a long way. I believe this launch will go down in history. Great job!

I agree and I'm sure that interesting ideas will come out of this, despite the knee-jerk reactions of some of the posters here.
I'm not even going to say anything - watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GME5nq_oSR4 (skip to 1:16)
We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky.

Sure, why not. The Americans want Canadian oil and they know Harper will give it to them. Keep Harper in power and they get what they want.

As technology advances, the time it takes to call a predecessor's design 'stupid' shrinks.

And where can I get one so I can try these experiments?
The non-profit is nothing more than a virtual condom. And we all know that rape while using a condom is still rape.

Why not make it an even $23294 and keep the theme?
