I teach middle school math and would LOVE to introduce students to coding. The problem is that the only coding I've ever done is basic HTML and some rudimentary old school BASIC (I remember while/when loops, but not much else). Considering my limited knowledge, what are some good programming resources that I could use for 12 year-olds, most of whom have never coded? I love the idea of the class learning together.
Maybe a better answer is that we need to treat our crazy people. It's not a matter of expense; either you pay money to treat mental illness, or you pay money to clean up after them. I'd rather spend on getting them help than in burying our children.
Regardless of your stance on guns, this is a great idea.
I can go into a store today and buy everything needed to blow a building to bits. Remember Oklahoma City? If you don't want a big boom, you can always go the bleach and ammonia route. If you want to kill or maim people in mass quantities, you don't need a gun. You can use a car. Or a plane. I suppose banning planes is next?
Reminds me of how several years ago blackberries used to be "optional" for associates at my law firm, and there was even a waitlist. That is until partners realized just how effective they were at keeping tabs on exactly where we were and what we were doing at all hours. Now they come standard issue with your welcome packet. Expect the same for new drivers pretty soon.
Regardless (or irregardless as we say down south), it's not a patent yet, right? I mean, it's just an application. Maybe there is hope yet that the USPTO is starting to remove their heads from the non-sunshiney part of the world and it will be denied.
AT&T is waiving the bill as long as they stay AT&T customers. http://www.kptv.com/news/17405019/detail.html#- Smart move because it means they get to look like heroes despite their deceptive business practices. And yes, lack of meaningful disclosure of material terms/conditions is deceptive. And no, fine print is not meaningful disclosure, even assuming the fine print was all-encompassing to begin with.
As a litigator who is leaving law after 5 years to teach high school math, I 100% agree. Litigation sucks unless you have a ruthless edge (not necessarily a bad thing) and get off on squashing others (again, not always a bad thing). Even when the underlying facts of a matter are interesting and I get to go to court, 99.99999% of the work is horribly boring. Email made that infinitely worse for young lawyers (think hundreds of thousands of pages of e-discovery for even relatively minor matters). Lucky for me I'm about to go bore a bunch of teenagers, instead of being bored myself with a bunch of document review!
this just makes me want to convert to LDS (if I had a gun to my head and was forced to choose a religion): One of the stake presidency's most important responsibilities is...emphasizing the importance of the family, helping members prepare to receive all essential...providing opportunities to serve...and showing love by ministering to members individually. Members of the stake presidency set an example in temporal welfare by striving to become selfreliant
and by caring for the poor and needy. They also encourage members in these efforts.
Just don't eff up with the rest of the rules, or you'll be cast out and end up in Vegas on the pole.
"He had been suffering from health problems for several years, including an abdominal aneurysm..."
A daily diet of Funyuns and Moutain Dew will do that to you.
Most courts have law libraries that are open to the public, including free (albiet limited) access to Lexis and/or Westlaw. Seems a better option that perusing thousands of pages of unsearchable data. Still, I applaud the effort to make this stuff accessible from anywhere. Can a legal search engine be the next bit open source project?
Anyway to confirm that they didn't just send up a target to being with? As in, this "spy satellite" filled with high tech gizmos is really just a waste bin filled with scrap metal and was intended to be a chance to show US missle capability all along?
Would there be a way for engineers to install a self-destruct capacity that is independant of the other communication equipment AND is reasonably secure? Granted nothing is fail-safe, but it's an additional layer of protection if all else fails. I was thinking this would be an obvious solution to future problems, but then again we don't want someone figuring out that signal/code/whatever and blowing up our satellites for us.
Should we be surprised? That vagueness permeates this entire body of law. Look at the DMCA. The safe-harbor protects you only if you cave when presented with a take-down notice. Guilty until proven innocent. Whatever happened to the notion that if you wanted an injunction you had to get one from the Court AND the burden was on *you* to show the Court you deserved such relief? And don't give me a lecture on judicial economy. The solution is to draft legislation that's equitable, not circumvent basic notions of procedural equity. Don't want so many copyright cases? Don't allow every single use of materials to amount to infringement.
that's funny, I don't remember being vocal about anything except not calling atheism a religion. How does that equate to me telling you not to join a religion?

Clearly you haven't seen the infestation of pan flautists across malls and tourist attractions. The music is just too damn soothing to resist!
If people lost money from that trading, then GOOD. Now, let me just check up on my 401K....!!!! FML....

Having a good idea of the outcome ahead of time prepares us for disappointment, and leads to fewer futbol, er, football riots?

So by your logic we should legalize bombs?
He was in the petri dishes the whole time.
Can't wait for the first atom photo bomb.
Slide rules for all! Isn't that what the engineers who sent folks to the moon used in school?
yeah, then I could just say "unemployed". Industry wide, my friend.

So much for deceptive cadences!
Dammit, now I have to get all these "Elron" birthday invites reprinted.
