He's just parroting the nonsense that tech industry bullshit artists like Mark Zuckerberg have been shoveling for years now--namely, that the tech industry needs more H1B's because we just don't have enough entry-level programmers coming out of U.S. tech schools and colleges. Of course, that's total bullshit. There are plenty of grads coming out of these programs. But they can't get hired because they can't be enslaved as indentured servants like the H1B's.
The only thing that's going to result from more Americans getting tech degrees from community colleges (and colleges in general, for that matter) is more unemployed people with student debt.

What I want to know is how we captured it real-time when it happened 5.5 billion years ago. Have the men in black invented time travel? WHAT ARE THEY NOT TELLING US??
Anything enjoyable, comfortable, or sinful is bad for you. Ideally, we should all work as rowers on a slave ship eating nothing but cardboard and water.
That must be why our ancestors in the past led such long, disease-free lives.

The more I read stories like this, the more I'm kind of glad that my dad passed away a long time ago. No way could he live in this world. Hell, I would be embarrassed to even let him *see* it.
Dad: "I faked my age to enlist at fifteen and fight at D-Day." Me: "In this world, leaving a twelve-year-old home alone can be considered child abuse." Dad: "And you're properly ashamed of this, right?" Me: "Every day I want to jump off a building."
They were warned many times, but they kept insulting not Christians, not Jewish, only Muslims.
Not only are you a scumbag, but you're also a WILLFULLY IGNORANT scumbag (these worst kind). Charlie Hebdo insulted EVERYONE. You can Google their past covers to see them mocking pretty much every religion known to man--MANY, MANY times.
You do know how to use Google, right? If not, just ask one of your camels. He's probably more computer literate (and literate in general) than you.
When some Muslim nutball shoots him for offending Islam with his Christian shit, I hope his funeral orators remember to let the audience know that the Muslim was justified in "punching" him because Francis had antagonized them after all.
I was worried about it, but I talked to China and they told me that their penises were so small, and assured me that my American penis was VERY large in comparison. This went on for a while and pretty soon I realized that they weren't any kind of threat after all.
Yeah, funny how now that he's a lame duck he's suddenly trying to play the hero. Pretty easy to propose bold and radical ideas when you face no risks for doing do and know that none of them will ever actually pass. When he actually had control of Congress, all this "hero" could do was to fall all over himself championing even more heavy-handed domestic spying programs and other evil shit than his shitheel predecessor. Now that he has no power, he suddenly wants to pretend that he gives a shit about the American people, doing the right thing for consumers, etc.
Why do we keep throwing tech at a non tech problem just for the sake of throwing tech at it?
In my experience, this sort of thing usually has a lot to do with bribes paid to the school board and/or administrators by some contractor. And by "bribe," I mean whatever euphemism they're going by in any given situation: "Campaign Contribution", "Educational Conference" (in an expensive tropical resort), "Donation", "Gift", etc.
I resisted 8.1 for a long time because of all the bashing. But I recently rebuilt my system, needed to resintall, and decided to go with 8.1. And it's actually pretty good. It boots fast and has an even smaller footprint than 7. Install was smooth (the only issue was outputting sound over HDMI, which was fixed with my first update). I've not had any crashes or problems so far and I've been using it for several months now. The only problem I have with it interface-wise is with the layout of the start menu, but that took me all of a few minutes to fix.
As usual, don't believe all the anti-Microsoft hype. Some people will bash anything MS does, for any reason (especially on slashdot). If Bill Gates cured cancer tomorrow and gave the cure away for free, posters would be on here in droves complaining that he didn't do it fast enough.
Yes, but by taking an integrated approach to building social media awareness, they will build synergy and change the paradigm. Through best practices, they'll build core competencies that empower students to think outside the box of their existing ecosystem.
And I guarantee you that the preceding paragraph is the exactly the kind of bullshit that was used to sell this turd to the politicians who approved it (along with a few generous campaign contributions, of course).
If a person is both intelligent and curious/motivated they will do VERY well in academia. One without the other will help, but you really need both to do well. And, IMHO, you really can't teach either. They have to come from innate ability and from inside the student themselves.
Now, that's in academia. Life is a different story. Success in life depends more on charisma and luck. Intelligence and motivation play a much lesser role there.
Did anyone really think that NASA was seriously going to not only divert an asteroid to lunar orbit, but also send astronauts there??? NASA hasn't put anyone in lunar orbit in over 40 years. And they haven't even been able to put an astronaut in LEO for years.

They also contained the only known full and complete edition of "The Lusty Oplontian Maid."

Maybe the community colleges should start offering mandatory courses on how to fake an Indian accent and get an H1B as an American citizen.

Did I mention that grandma was senile at the end?
May as well teach them something powerful and useful from the beginning. If the test is based on Java, then why not start them on Java?

At the conclusion of each holodeck session all "extraneous" matter is automatically transported to Geordi's personal quarters. Don't ask why.
Roger, Houston, we have another "ammonia leak."

There's a lesson in this. If you want your kid to grow up to be a decent person, don't give him a name like "Carlos Slim."

All part of our new program to send a rocket to heaven! It's what Jesus and Pat Robertson would want.

We should develop extra terrestrial habitation technology on the moon first. It is incredibly conveniently close to Earth.
Well, it's conveniently close in the sense that it's just like driving to Texas...after driving around the Equator ten times first.
