Isn't this what Calculator Based Laboratories (CBL) and CBR's are for? I don't see the difference except for more of a display with the Palms. Besides, PDA's (and laptops) have no place in elementary schools, and probably middle schools as well. There's so much more you can learn from a teacher than from a monochrome 300x200 screen, no matter what software it's running.
Teachers in lower education are not there just to get students to learn, they're there to teach life. They're there to teach what type of behavior is acceptable (thus the punishments), to give you an appreciation for music and the fine arts, and encourage you to dream about the future (my elementary school had huge areas for "make believe", quite separate from recess).
We don't need to add to the already macintosh corrupted elementary schools another little gadget for students to drop and/or lose, just because another company wants to get more exposure. Besides, in my experience, most things up to certain point--about college--can't take advantage of PDA's as planners because that scale of planning just plain isn't needed that young.
Why is the current trend in education that more technology earlier leads to better results?
What are scientists wasting our time for?? What are you talking about. The reason the advances are so slow is because college graduation rate of physics majors is pitful. Our flagship public university, with 50k students graduates 25 physics majors per year. You wanna know why? Math and sciences, but math in particular is being pushed to the side by MTV and Art Class. No one seems to want to do the difEq or LinAl needed to get any work done.
Engineering schools are snapping up anyone who's lucky enough to make it through the HS math sump alive. Those a little braver are still discouraged by parents and media arguing for higher salaries, more partying, and of course more corporate sponsored and prescibed merchandise.
It's amazing it's taken this long for our civilization to progress (digress?) this far. You know it says something when millions of athletes are willing to sacrifice their minds and bodies to chemical drugs, to be the best, but only a few would choose to do so to enhace their mind. The this becomes widespread would be, IMO, a far more important landmark in human history than the addition of chess to the Olympics.
If you think about it, your mind is all you are. Without it, you're just some schmuck off the street. I, for one, would like to truly see the limits of the human mind--how far it is possible to advance without broaching insanity, and without the use of drugs which would take away your reasoning and uniqueness.
There's something to be said for systems level programming, API's and making programs work "nice" with the OS. But I wouldn't be caught dead with such a job. Maybe it's just the nerd in me talking, but if it ain't got math, it ain't got nothing.
We bought computers so that we could do mathematics quicker, and I learned to program so that I could tell it what math to do.
Windows XP, and yes, even Unix will be lost forever in the next ice age. Fast fourier transforms will be useful til the end of time.
I have a really old comic of Cerebus, black and white, I don't know how old/rare it really is (probably not much) I just realized it, heh. I didn't even want to read the series, I just got it because I was on a comic book binge, and needed something to buy to complete my buy 1 get 3 membership. I think I looked through it, was grossed out...
Anyways, the comic that I really liked was something called adventures of the 4d Monkey. Now that was a good comic, but I couldn't find a specific episode, and only got up to around #5. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
uh... don't other modern OS's have firewalls? Don't other modern OS's offer music playing software, and mailing software. Get a grip people, this is Microsoft finally making Windows worth the outrageously expensive price.
I've been running RC1 and RC2 for the past 2 weeks now, and it's a whole lot more stable than 98, probably b/c of the driver deal. Because of it, my video drivers for my Rage Pro 4mb were updated in July 2001! This is when even the lone-hacker performance driver stopped development a year ago.
Though I've had a few program crashes (none complete though!) the memory management is so much better! XP rocks
is by no means over. There still exist very structured, entrenched means of sharing mp3's. Audiogalaxy, though plagued by server load, is still my favorite choice. Also, you can't beat gnutella for ease of search, and diversity of media.
One man alone cannot fight the future... but we can.
The title is correct, Knowledge is unlimited, but the rest of the post is not; read the short essay Can the Universe be Known?, by Carl Sagan. (I think that's the essay name)
3: Flamebait, and rightfully so. There is nothing in the bible that excludes evolution, early man, or dinosaurs.
Go and talk to your local pastor; even if you think it would be embarassing (it won't be) there are probably hundreds of possible churches nearby. He'll have the answers.
That's just what they're after. Just like the death heads and the people who paint weed and their favorite bands on backpacks with white-out. JUST like most linux zealots*.
*Disclaimer: yes I actually said this! On a mostly Linux bbs! Why do I say this? Because I used to be one of you! Then I realized: there is a certain social sense that most people possess of when and where to talk about certain subjects, I'm sorry but computer operating systems are not something you need to go tell the whole world about. Not something you need to send a missionary to Africa about.
Alright, I can't believe no one else has replied to this; maybe it's because they know you're trolling, or because they didn't read even this far, but this is obviously and patently wrong.
Too many people, including myself for many years do think the way you do, about words, Christianity, "religion", and God. However, this is not the truth. The truth is that Christianity is not a religion, it is the Truth. We don't believe something, we know it. We don't pray to a god up in the sky, we talk to our creator.
Have you ever thought about how absolutely amazing the human mind (yours, presumably) is? How crazy it is that you even exist to read these words?
There was a nation created years ago, guided along through history, slavery, and freedom, by the Creator of the Universe, maker of all that you spend 8 hours a day working for or 5 hours a day studying, who taught them about Himself, how He was to be treated, who He was.
Real Christianity (not to be confused with Mere Christianity) is not something to be done on the side, or just on Sundays and holidays, or after you do your homework, or right after you make your first 5-digit paycheck. It's something that should become your whole life. Christianity should be the focus of your life, and if it isn't, then I sincerely hope it becomes your purpose soon. And so, I will go through any means possible to please the God I serve, whether by restraining my tongue or loosing it.
If you are interested, don't go join your local church's youth group, don't only start going to church and worship services, DO go talk to the pastor at your local church about what's up. They would be more than willing to talk to you about anything you wanted, with more greek/hebrew/NKJV recordings of eyewitnesses than you can count or I can even imagine.
This is the single most important thing in life (yes, even before girls, before graduation, before getting a beamer), because it is the only aspect of your life that matters a whit after you're six feet under and not even breathing your own stale BO.
Robin Williams was right, we are food for worms, but we don't have to leave it at that.
Micron Mamba chipset (North Bridge only) for the AMD platform is expected to be released in Q3. In addition to DDR SDRAM support, Mamba will also feature 8Mb of L3 cache on the chipset die. The L3 cache will have a sustainable memory bandwidth of 9.6GB/s.
Micron Scimitar chipset for the AMD platform is expected to be released in July. Scimitar is expected to feature a Mamba core with integrated on-die Rendition graphics.

C) It bashes Christianity (in a way)

The DNA Bomb
·
· Score: 1
Can't you see? There's a reason why "security by obscurity" is hated in some applications. It's because the thing they're hiding is very simple to follow through with--if one person figures it out, then it can be done easily by enough people to make a difference.
Consider nuclear bombs: if complete information was published, there would be enough parties capable of following through to make a BIG difference.
However, DNA bombing is NOT one of these subjects. The work and expertise involved is not enough to warrant concern as of yet.
Informative: 4 ? Puhleeze. Interesting, maybe, but definitely not worth 3.
You've become too enthusiastic about benchmarks. These benchmarking suites have gone way too far. The only ones that are applicable for me are a) constant computing (folding@home) and b) gaming; both areas where the P4 excels.
Now, I'm not an Intel jockey, and I was planning on building a 760MP AMD system later this year, but I will make my decision based on the release and limitation schedules of BOTH companies.
I don't want to get caught at the top cycle of a platform, so, I will consider how high each processor will scale before leaving me in the dust.
No, it doesn't leave permanent damage. There's a way to remove scars: it's called maturity.
Stop trying to milk popular opinion because you were 'teased/bullied' in school. It happens to just about everyone, and just about everyone learns how to deal with it so that it stops. Those that don't hopefully mature enough to be able to get on their lives, and eveyone else ends up like you.

All this blather and discussion about nothing at all, the color scheme makes me want to puke and... wait... What? That's not a new feature?

No. Don't belittle them.
err, a better analogy used in most chemistry books lately is the dart analogy.
A guy throws 10 darts that all hit nearly the same spot about an inch from the edge of the target. That's precision.
A guy throws 10 darts that all hit in a randomly distributed area around the bullseye. That's accuracy.
A guy throws 10 darts and they all hit the exact middle of the board. Now you lost the bet.
