  1. Re:I've never understood why this is a big goal. on First Outdoor Flocks of Autonomous Flying Robots · · Score: 1

    The big problem is the TIME needed to switch Command Units given say 30 "bots"
    you have to
    1 time out on the current commander (lets say several seconds)
    2 somehow given 29 "bots" sort out who will be the best new Commander
    3 setup the needed links

    all of this while doing what the Flock is supposed to be doing

    i could see a guy with a shotgun downing the Command Unit(s) faster than they can switch over.

    (of course i can also see the bots deciding at about CU #14 to "frack this Mission is FUBAR RTB now!")

    yes speaking as one of the Sales Support folks that Corporate decided was "not needed" yes the service is middling to Ghastly.

    the Name of the Store has been RadioShack for over a decade.

    and the guy that greenlit this should be shot out of a cannon at the nearest Unemployment center.

  3. Re:Bullshit on YouTube Ordered To Remove "Illegal" Copyright Blocking Notices · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I am certain that any notice that mentions that GEMA has requested the vid be blocked will not be allowed.

    Googles response should be to block any vids (in Germany) that contain any GEMA licensed music (even official channels) with the notice

    "This video has been removed due to containing Music Licensed by GEMA"

    or more to the point if you want a simple method to get a Windows computer patched and all the "fun" programs installed then you

    1 on another computer download unpack and run WSUSOffline and build an update package
    2 also visit ninite.com and grab a install loader for your "fun" programs (like firefox libreoffice and such)
    3 do the initial setup on your computer and get to the desktop
    4 run the WSUSOffline updater

    6 Profit!!

  5. NO NO NO the word is DEVASTATE on VA Tech Experiment: Polar Vortex May Decimate D.C. Stinkbugs In 2014 · · Score: 1

  8. Re:Observer bias on Putting the Next Generation of Brains In Danger · · Score: 1

    What should happen is that somebody needs to define an acceptable AND SANE level of risk that children can handle and then work on limiting risk to that level.

    1 Ensure that kids can grow up in an environment without a toxic environment ( no smoking next to kids use of nontoxic "stuff" wherever possible)

    2 Operate daycare/schools as Sanctuaries (there should be a Bunkhouse where a kid can sleep when they do not have a safe and stable home).

    3 let the kids play knowing that they could get a Boo Boo sometimes (but have decent first aid ready)

    various 1,000 parts per trillion things where normal levels are dozen parts per Trillion is not the problem when we are not allowing these kids to THINK EVER.

    anyway the first couple PicoSeconds of Time CAN NOT BE OBSERVED BY SCIENCE therefore are not within the realm of Science.

    Now if you can show me a Tornado running through a car scrapyard and "evolving" a working airplane then maybe i might consider evolution as possible.

  21. Re:On Education on Wozniak Gets Personal On Innovation · · Score: 1

    the point of working it as "bands" is to give time to work around issues where a given kid is a lot better at some subjects than others (s|he can help with the slower kids in the good subjects and be helped as a slower kid in the not so good subjects).

    as far as the The Holy 200 Point Checklist goes that does not matter (unless you are part of the school board/ Government Official Board writing said checklist).

    the point of the bands is to give a teacher 3 years to get a kid up to snuff.

  24. On Education on Wozniak Gets Personal On Innovation · · Score: 3, Funny

    The biggest problem with the Public Education system is

    IT IS DOING EVERYTHING WRONG!!

    Start with having Standard Reference E-Books on Everything on a EduCORE server network. When a kid starts school issue the kid an EduSlate (something good enough to work but cheap enough to not be a target for theft). As the kid grows up unlock more and more info (redact less and less). For the things where there are recognized Alternate ViewPoints have the Alternate availible if asked for.

    as far as how the teaching should go

    1 In preschool teach exactly 3 things 1 YOU CAN LEARN 2 HOW TO LEARN 3 The rock basics of learning (numbers letters colors ect)

    2 when they hit K5 1 separate the boys from the girls (outside of Dance Class and Recess) 2 teach every kid physically able to how to dance (ballet/gymnastics type)

    3 group things into K5-3 4-6 7-9 and 10-12 worry about graduating a kid when s|he can jump bands (btw put the Ladies and Gentlemen together in class during the upper 2 bands)

    4 use the older/smarter kids in each band to help the other kids

    5 end of the second band and during the third band start sorting kids for where they will be going after graduation (use a "Nut Filter" also)

    6 create Sanctuaries for kids to go when they can handle "home life"
