holding a student back does little to help them. what needs to be done is that a student who fits such criteria needs to be placed in another track where they are promoted, but their weak spots are worked on more the next year.
the US will have lost its dominance except militarily. we will not have high tech jobs, all workers will be working at service jobs, and the only way we will not fall apart is to, at some point in the next 2 decades, do a structured pull back from the level of influence and projected power we currently have.
I personally think that Europe is headed for the same fate and the 3rd world due to sheer numbers and industrial output will have surged into the same power league as the EU and the US.
this power struggle will be the cause of the 3rd world war, after which, the balkanization of nations and cultures will begin to disappear and we will come together as a planet some time near the end of this century.
dude, DVD players began displacing VCRs back 3 years ago.
and if you make the electronics cheap enough, anyone will buy them.
it is gonna come to a head when the movies are coming out weeks before on the HD disks, just like they did with the DVDs being released about 1 month before VHS.
shit if MS keeps this up, then they might just beat back Linux because all people really want is open formats so that they are guaranteed if the company fails, they will have a migration path.
step 1) only sell new DVD players (they support the old format so no big deal) step 2) start selling HD disks 3 weeks before SD disks. step 3) reduce the features on the SD disks gradually until there are no features left but maintain the price. step 4) when the market gets to 65% penetration of new players (about 3 -5 years from launch) dump SD disks totally.
not because of that. it is loosing market-share because apple is not selling it.
seriously, ask anyone, if you could have what apple offers for software on the PC would you buy it?
90% of people would say "yes"
so make Linux nice looking, easy to use, and give it the easy ability to use 3rd party consumer media devices and give the apps and workflow nessisary and people will move to Linux.
in the next generation systems, you will be able to hook them up to computer monitors and have a keyboard and mouse as a first class citizen for interfacing with it so FPS will be as enjoyable on consoles as they are on PCs.
once gaming becomes a commodity that is cheaper to play on Consoles, PCs will no longer have this gaming push.
at the rate PC games are pushing the market

low-impact game players like me are out of date in 3-6 months and can not play games until we upgrade our computers!!
this is insane and why I like consoles.
I mean I had a monster Fusion 3d card from the day it came out and it worked flawlessly until Black and white came out. after that I had to upgrade to a Gforce 2 GTS.
in recent years, the gaming industry is moving to fast for me to keep up anymore.
Linux, if it wants to gain more share int he desktops, needs to become much more froendly with the Digital cameras, DV cameras, and scaners.
it then needs high quality photo apps and Video editing apps.
after that, it needs high quality DVD authoring apps.
all of these apps need to work together smoothly and there needs to be a workflow the exists between them so you can export from one into the other from each app. oh and fix the GIMP... maybe par it down and use it as a base for the photo application, get a red-eye, touch-up and enhance, plus a few other simple things going. then get the app set up so you can upload to clubphoto and snapfish, etc.
if you make the consumer applications for making bad home videos, touching up and ordering bad home photos, and collecting music files, all in an nice integrated workflow, then consumers will come.

hey fucking moron, MS versions their windows exactly the same.
NT 5.0 -> NT 5.1
AKA
Windows 2000 -> windows XP
look it up in your system information.
as usual your a fucking idiot.
Windows XP was windows NT 5.1
windows 2000 was windows NT 5.0
MS charged 250 bucks for XP, and they did not have half the feature additions that each OS X major releases does.
so now I don't have to hear the TV when I am not in the line of sight of the speaker face!!!
that is pretty good, though I have very little I like on the BBC besides their news, that is a nice thing.
I forgot what year it was :-)
and that has what to do with consumer electronics?

sweet!!, I stayed away from WMA and WMV because of their close nature.
if MS keeps up like this, I might invite Longhorn in on one of my Boxes.
I still like Quick time and all the goodness that comes with it for media creation though, so I think I am gonna stick with AAC for maya audio work.

sorry I meant GOOD gaming.
Dolby better get cracking on a surround sound that does not sound like crap in stereo then,.
WMA is open now?
your fucking with me right?

you are kidding yourself.

my point mr smarty pants is that it WORKED!!!!!
Games now a-days push the hardware farther than it can go in a few months, back then maybe it was every few years.
how about doom 3 or half-life 2?
your card will be woefully unprepared for that.
not because of that. it is loosing market-share because apple is not selling it.
seriously, ask anyone, if you could have what apple offers for software on the PC would you buy it?

the question is, will Direct TV be keeping that 10 dollar price premium when all Content is in HD?
dude, get VOOM. it is an HDTV Satalite company.
yes it does. when you count up the DOCUMENTED deployments of Linux, Macs are still ahead of them.

the linux presence in the market is an estimation. if you go on pure factual numbers from statements, Linux is still behind.
then it gets an import tariff.
