Honestly, is your aim in life to spoil the happiness of others or were just having a bad Saturday?
They changed in purpose evidence that was sketchy and doubtful to make it appear like it was credible and conclussive. They adjusted the evidence to their aims, and not the other way aorund as it should be.
That there are people out there still defending them is a complete disgrace.
There is no objective way of reaching a conclussion because, guess what, it is a matter of personal preference and taste.
The article writer is in love with the latest ncarnation oc MacOS (or whatever it is called).
I can't stomach it. But I am used to the Linux and Solaris way of doing things.
She mentions services and I was thinking "geee, UNIX pipes in menus" and she just realizes the same, without reaching the obvious conclussion: such a contraption is far more powerful and productive in a script written in a command line using vi.
Horses for courses as the Brits say. The only idea of raising the question of what is more productive is idiotic in extreme since different people feel more comfortable with different things.
WHen Solaris works (most of the time) it does very well.
When it does not, you are almost on your own, no matter how much you are paying for support (you would be surpirsed what companies like Sun can get away with, even when dealing with big clients).
With Linux, if the company providing support is ignoring you, you can try to solve the problem yourself (which is achievable in many cases) or ask somebody else to fix the problem.
With Sun you are lost if your problem is not one of their priorities.
And who will tell them what books may be interesting? No teahcers, you se, I hope at least you allow for a librarian, or is such a person also protecting his "cushy" well paid job?
And in the Internet? Joe Bigdick at http://www.sexestatisc.com?
Young people need guidance for a good reason: they are inexperienced and ignorant. You are asking the blind to guide the blind, the dumb to instruct the dumber.
Who are you? The spirit of Mao Ze Dong or the Unabomber?
And as for teachers having cushy, well-paid jobs, you should frankly apologize for liyng in public. What a lack of decency.
Parents are not necessarily teachers and may not have the skills to teach.
Parents may sorely lack knowledge about many subjects.
The emotional involvement may stop parents identifying educational problems that may be picked up by a trained teacher.
Will parents teach controversial subjects at home or will they reinforce prejudices?
And so on and so forth.
Home schooling may be an alternative, and all the power to whoever chooses that for their children, but it is by no means a perfect or superior solution, to mantain so is completely disingineous.
You are going to the extreme situation of a new field with no teachers to ascert that teaching is not the best method to pass knowledge.
This is patently a devious way of interpret things.
If there is no knowledge to ba passed, and no teachers to teach anything, obviously teaching is of no use, so basicaly you are stating the obvious, thanks for nothing.
If there is knowledge to be transmitted, then learning on your own is time consuming and inneficient. It may appear more interesting, but nothing beats to have somebody that can put you on track in your pursuit of knowledge, that is if you want to do it in the most efficient manner.
If you want to generate new knowledge, by all means do, but surely you will be standing in the shoulders of somebody that thought something that is allowing you to move forward.
Now, make my day, say that you learned it on your own.
Teaching is the most basic way of passing knowledge between humans. the dissemination of knowledge suffers where smart crack asses think they can learn everything for themselves without realizing they are reinvinting the fucking wheel.
But such attitude against teaching does not surprise me in the slightiest, many/.ers have this delussion that because they can learn a computer language on their own (and surely they learned all the basics by themselves) then anybody can learn anything without the nuisance of a person that has been ther, done that and got the loussy T-shirt.
Sometimes I wonder if/.ers are just a bunch of extreme anarchists in disguise.
No wonder most projects are over budget and never delivered on time.
The subjects are relevant, the students think they know better and ignore them at their (and their futures employers, costumers) own peril.
That is fine because students are mostly stupid and go to HS or college to try so mend that problem.
The incredible thing is that somebody with professional experience can't grasp the importance of other subjects that in appeareance are not linked ot his main field of expertise.
But again, the opinion of somebody ranting about Economics as an example of a "filler" subject should be not taken necessary very seriously.
Unless your legislate to apply the law only to people that look funny at you, you should not have no need to humor goverment officials in order to be treated like anybody else.
No wonder your country is losing its freedoms to the religious fanatics in power.

If that is what you want, bon voyage, I hope when your safe boat arrives where it is going (without any more rocking) your wish does not become your nightmare.

The first "TV" company that realizes the potential of giving stuff away for free (unencumbered, without lousy stupid formats) as an enticement for paid for services, will make loads of money and lead the industry during the nes couple of decades.

And big time.
They are the first ones I remember offered tailored PCs via the Internet (i.e. 0 human intervention, live access to inventory, personal service).
Maybe it is now par of the course, but back then it was a hell of innovation.

how can you make the point that these crew is exploring in the name of all humanity when they just a bunch of WASPS?
You can't, it is as simple as that...

Look, glad that it worked for you. Or maybe it did not, the last sentence leaves enormous gulfs of perceived doubt.
But frankly this quixotic idealization you make of such way ot teaching children is puerile. on extreme.
It is people like you, deriding others, diminishing their achievements, that makes today's brute society such an asfixiating place to live.

Sometimes I wonder if
People here very often write in a hurry and do not necessarily have English as their first language.
To make fun of that is frankly passe.
Yeah, great, but sometimes one gets the impression here that the smaller the field of expertise, the better.
That somebody can claim in all serioussness that Economics has nothing to do with Engineering or Computer Sciences is frightening to say the least.
To an Engineering or Computer Science course?
