I did not claim or state in any way that the school in the article was a boarding school. As far as the school Haedrian mentions, you'd have to ask Haedrian. I was just drawing the contrast, as there's a lot of "no school" this and "they never have the right" that in the discussion of this topic.
That does, of course, depend. Some private boarding schools are in fact responsible for the parents' role in the children's lives. A public school that sends kids home at the end of the day of course shouldn't bear the same responsibility nor attempt to take the authority over the child that comes with it.
Honestly, while I've visited Canada I've never lived there. However, being from the uptight US midwest, I have to say the part that would have bothered most schools where I'm from more than anything is the offer of cocaine to school children near the end of the video.
BTW, while everyone is comparing it to South Park, the time-setting exposition in the titles seems much more inspired by the opening sequence of Aqua Teen Hunger Force the Movie to me, with equally confusing opening titles.
All the while Perl 5 has been updated and refined, you fucking troll.

Using classes doesn't overcome the fact that there are functions like mysql_real_escape_string_yes_I_really_mean_it_and_URI_decode_too in the main namespace. Classes and compartmentalized namespaces came far too late to avoid the issues.

Perl 5 is the second system. Perl 1-3 built on earlier versions, and Perl 4 was a version bump to sell books which easily described the current state of the language (since 3 morphed a bit from start to end and they didn't want to specify an exact long version string for the book title).
Perl 5 added lots of features, like bless(), the default object system, proper modules, etc. These are where many people find the language creaky and messy -- where things not designed with Perl 4 got bolted onto the side of a mostly Perl 4 compatible language. Modern Perl 5 code doesn't look like Perl 4, but you can feed the system Perl 3 and it will generally work.
Perl 6 is the third system. It's designed by taking lessons from what worked and what didn't over the past 23 years.

They have libraries for strings now. There are also arbitrary precision mathematics libraries.
HostGator has $10 a month for hosting with Perl, Python, PHP, MySQL, SSL, and a decent control panel (cPanel). GoDaddy offers less than $15 a year for a domain. WTF are you on about?
I'm not sure where it is in the picture, or if maybe it's planned or it's an option in place of HDMI, but the site of the foundation says it has composite video, too. http://www.raspberrypi.org/ Now, if it has NTSC as well as PAL, I'm definitely on board.
They make gender adapters for USB and about every other connector ever designed for computers. Of course, having to buy a $5 adapter adds 20% to the cost of a $25 system before you add anything else.
Companies that make useful goods and provide useful services have a bad name because the environmentalists that are doing all the lobbying find character assassination easier than actually suggesting alternatives. And much of the anti-corporate movement is made up of people that believe The Government would never allow for more starvation because the Welfare Act doesn't say anything about more starvation. Or are so self centered as to think that they don't have any sort of debt of gratitude to the past several generations for keeping them out of mud huts and scavenging tribes.
See? It's easy to write a diatribe. Now, how do we keep people housed, clothed, and fed with less negative impact on the environment?

What we really need to know is... do they have a proper license for the content? ;-)
Also, do they have to prove they have a proper license if someone files an improper DMCA takedown request in order to counterclaim it?
I logged in before posting, but when I went to preview the CAPTCHA was "hostage". Apropos. How very apropos.

Your employer isn't the government unless you are employed by... a government. A public school is the government.
Not if the creation was for the sake of the bacteria. Just sayin'.

.., Almost.
Privacy is a right. What do you think it means to be secure in your person, papers, and effects? If they're all public that's not very secure.
It's planned, yeah, but it's not in the picture. Ever heard of vaporware or spec cuts?
Screw the EULA. Unless you buy a copy of the OS for your $25 device it's copyright infringement.
Also, good luck getting a 700 Mhz ARM to emulate a Core 2 Duo with any type of acceptable speed.

That's not wireless. That's a camera. The D-Link USB to wired Ethernet adapter is the networking.

Actually I think the specs said SD/MMC/SDIO and nothing about micro. You could use an adapter, of course. What I want to know is if the SD is SDHC.

It's also not so cheap if you need an HDMI display. Composite PAL/NTSC would be much cheaper.
Did you know that the laws of thermodynamics relate to closed systems?
Did you know that the energy of the sun shining on thousands of hectares is an input from outside this system?

By the time the Mississippi gets to the Gulf of Mexico, a large portion of it is treated waste water. Where do these people think sewage goes?

Actually I heard the dealers call it "cha-ching" or something like that.
