If the audience is confused by your material, you will see it. If they are disturbed, interested, bored etc.
By noticing how the audience reacts you can tailor your 'performance' for the audience. For example if the audience is more familiar with your material than you originally thought you can gloss over the background. If they are not as versed as you thought you can provide more details.
You can also change your terminology. We have discovered that the terms we use when talking about our field are sometimes different than what other people use and there is no one standard. For that reason it is important to make sure we are all using the same words and assigning the same meaning to them. This can be difficult without knowing which terminology set the audience is using.
Perhaps, hospitals should stop being so quick to cut the mother up if they want everyone to deliver there? When my daughter was born the doctor was pissy because she was taking her own sweet time. It was at the end of her shift and she got in an argument with the nurse and the new doctor about doing a C-section basically because she was tired of waiting for the baby. No complications, no problems, everyone is fine, she was just board and wanted to cut me open to get it over with.
You mean to tell me that I can't just pick up the solution to my problems by doing whatever the super hot model on TV tells me? My problems might be unique to me and require my own, tailored solution?
How dare you contradict the super hot model! She told me that for 5 easy payments of $9.99, I could look just like her and if it fails then it obviously isn't that her solution isn't right but that I am doing it wrong and must be lazy...
Having actually written things and participated in literary analysis, I can assure you that the first thing you learn is to smile and nod once people start cooing about all the subtle undertones and hidden meanings.
I once wrote a poem about spring that was then touted as being about denied love. People make of movies/books/poems/art what they will. I can guarantee you that your audience will read into whatever you produce whatever meaning they are looking for and most of there is no more 'truth' behind it than there is to the idea of playing rock records backwards telling you burn puppies and kick kittens.
I have to keep waving at mine. One of mine is actually sitting on the kitchen table right now cause we had guys doing stuff in the basement and the construction dust kept setting it off.
We have fuel oil and baseboard radiators. An analog thermometer isn't smart enough to recognize the ramp up and ramp down times. The result is you set the thermostat to 70. At some point it turns the burner on and at 70 it turns the burner off, but the heat doesn't magically shut off. The radiators continue to radiate and the house ends up at 74/75 before it starts cooling off again. If we wanted to not be hot, we had to freeze and vice versa because you could easily see 5+ degree swings. Smart thermostats figure out the ramp up/down times and adjust accordingly.
Because I own my house I don't need to resort to ghetto gimmicks like putting plastic in my windows. I can just buy new windows (and did). But that doesn't solve the problem of the house ending up 5 degrees above my desired temp because the thermostat is stupid. There is no one solution to saving energy. The smart thing to do is figure out what the problem actually is and then address it, not just insulate the crap out of a place.
Controlling the temp is a MUCH better solution than opening the window when it is 10 degrees outside because it is too hot inside.
I bought a Nest thermostat last winter and it cut my oil usage almost in half. Granted I was replacing the original analog thermostat installed in 1966 so can't compare to other digital thermostats, but "smart" thermostats are more than just shiny.
Kids using eclipse who don't test their code do it that way. Those of us who like to be able to read our code do it the readable way.
Telling everyone to put the constant on the left is like telling everyone "don't use pointers and you won't have memory problems". The real solution is to not write bad code.
The Hilton's I have been staying at have all had free guest wifi. In order to access it you have to give the webpage your room number and last name, so they can still track you without making you pay for it.
Let's say you have a team of 10 developers and each developer costs you $100k and you spend 1 year developing a piece of software. That software costs you $1M to make. If you sell 100,000 copies, you can charge $10 a copy. If you are only selling 10 copies, you have to charge $100k each.
It is not as simple as "oh I magically made this awesome word processor and now everything is profit!" You already paid your developers. You already paid the rent on the building. Why do you think some of the latest video games that have recently released with record sales have been declared failures? If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it.
And actually, yes, 5000 manufactured widgets costs less to produce per unit than a run of 5 widgets. There is a lot of overhead costs associated in manufacturing and those costs get to be distributed over all the widgets produced. Also, if you are producing widgets in mass, your supply costs goes down because you can negotiate better prices, etc so it is not a linear increase in costs.
“I must study politics and war, that my sons may have the liberty to study mathematics and philosophy, natural history and naval architecture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, tapestry, and porcelain.” - John Adams
Part of what made this possible was, even if you decrease the cost, manufacturing still required time, energy, materials, etc....
Something that makes tech a little different, esp when it comes to software, is the near zero cost of reproduction.
Can you please share how you managed to remove time and energy from software development? Cause I've spent a shit ton of time debugging a really boring webpage this week and if you can tell me how to it without using time, that would be awesome.
If your 3rd grade teacher doesn't like you, you still have 9 other grades (and teachers) to convince that you are a worthwhile person. My husband flunked his first semester of college, permanently tanking his GPA, and was still able to land a good job. He had to explain why his GPA was so low in all his interviews, but it was recoverable.
If you (or your parents) let one person's ill opinions fuck your life, then shame on you. If your 4th grade teacher treats you like crap because your 3rd grade teacher didn't like you, then your parents should be fighting for you. There are always options. They might not be easy such as changing schools, but that's no different from the current system.
The children who excel will continue to be the ones who somehow acquire a champion (their parents, another teacher, a coach, etc) or learn how to manipulate the system.
My sister-in-law's kids were told by their teachers that Romney was going to take away all their candy if he was elected, while Obama would see to it they all got free candy.
It will prepare them for having a real job where their value to the company will be quantized using whatever metrics make management feel warm and fuzzy today.
She could have been flirting with the pilot at the airport bar...
Or maybe his wife left him, took the kids and house and was in the middle of convincing the courts to take his paycheck too so now he's depressed and that ground looks WAY better than divorce court...
Life happens. Grow up and accept that we are not safe and we do not control it.
So perhaps we can use fingerprints as the user id and still need a password? Then we don't have to keep coming up with user names or memorizing account numbers every time we want to be able to download our statement.

2GB of RAM is a limit :) Technically all computers have RAM/disk limitations.
Are these limits sufficient for your needs? Depends on what you are doing.
Some people are into that...
They don't pay as well?

But he can insulate it... I think he needs a better apartment.

where do I go to opt out (and opt out on my children's behalf)?
Homeschooling has been becoming more and more mainstream and easier than ever since we now have the internet.
