Yes, everyone learns in there own way. Some learn by transcribing notes others learn by just listening. She should present the information and let the individual students who now which way they learn choose.
Everyone learns in there own way. She should stick to presenting the information and let the students figure out the best way to absorb that info. She shouldn't be telling anyone the "best" way to learn as it varies from student to student.
From the article: "Microsoft is highlighting its upcoming tool for AJAX-style development, code-named Atlas"
AJAX "style development." I take this to mean Microsoft isn't following standards in an attempt to hijack yet another technology. When will they ever learn?
...society has wealthy assholes who want to take money away from hard working people without doing any work themselves. Exploiting a broken patent system is only one of the ways they're doing this.
"With email and instant messaging proving increasingly popular and devices such as laptop computers, mobile phones and USB storage devices more commonplace in the office, the opportunities for workplace crime are growing."
Oh please. I suppose that's true but in my shop we are far more afraid of workplace stupidity than crime.
Users will do things like copy files from a home computer onto their work computer never thinking about the possible implications. There are also more cases where a user will connect a wireless switch to their RJ45 jack so that they can move their laptop anywhere they want and still be on the network. Do they think about encrypting the connection? No. That's the kind of stuff we worry about more than crime.
"If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about."
You're just screwing with my mind right?
That may be true in "Leave it to Beaver land" or "Father Knows Best land" but not in the real world. If you haven't noticed let me clue you in. Our government no longer represents the people. The slime balls running the country don't believe an justice any more. All they care about is corporate money honey.
So domestic spying CAN NOT be allowed as there will surely be cases where bogus charges will be brought against innocent people for political reasons or to advance someones hidden agenda.
You fail to mention that almost every computer sold already has Microsoft's OS installed. Microsoft has used its monopoly to bully vendors into NOT offering preloaded Linux PCs.
An Linux does have several things that Windows does not. 1. Stability 2. A lack of viruses.
"People constantly criticize the US for supporting bad, violent, etc, leaders. Well, as soon as we remove one, that we did at one time support, why are people still upset at the US? Shouldn't you people congratulate us for finally recognizing at least ONE of our past mistakes and taking steps to correct it?"
Oh I don't think our actions had anything to do with correcting a past mistake. You have a real uphill battle to support that point of view.
I'm thinking that it is far more likely that we wanted a permanent military presents in the region. I'm sure that there are those in the Administration who feel it never hurts to have a big stick in an oil rich area of the world.
The NAS domestic surveillance program violates the FISA act which was specifically enacted in 1978 to clear up some of the questions left unresolved by the Supreme Court. It allows warrantless surveillance of conversations between "foreign powers" (and their agents) only if "there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party. In cases where a call was placed or initiated from a US citizen ONLY the part of the conversation from the foreign entity could be taped. Unilaterally deciding to extend the spying to a US citizen is an authorization of domestic spying and IS ILEGAL.
"1. We are at war. congress' AUMF gave the Pres all the authority he needs to prevent another attack."
False. To be at war the Congress must make a formal declaration. The Authorization to Use Military Force is NOT a declaration of war. We are NOT at war. But even if we were the president's inherent power as commander-in-chief during wartime DOES NOT override the provisions of FISA.
The suggestion that Congress has no power to interfere in any way with the president's Article II commander-in-chief power is ludicrous. There's no case law to back this up and no reason to believe this except for the president's own apparent belief in his unlimited authority during wartime. (Which this IS NOT.)
Sun now sells Star Office and that source is closed. That action didn't kill the open source project. It forked into Open Office. And yes they sill contribute to that project which is great. My point is that once a product is GPL'd (or LGPL'd) we never lose the source.
There are many very intelligent lawyers and judges who do not agree with your assessment. I notice that you don't cite the specific case law that you claim gives the president the authority to suspend our rights as granted under the Constitution. I'll assume you are speaking of certain untested laws giving the President special war time authorities. (These are NOT case laws.)
The problem is that we are not in a war. Bush can't just say "war on terrorism" and give himself extra authority even if these laws were not unconstitutional. (And they haven't been tested yet.) He can't do that any more than saying we're in a "war on drugs" or a "war on poverty."
I and many others feel that Bush is breaking the law. The courts will decide. if that is the Bush administration is unsuccessful in obstructing the judicial process.
One only has to look at SUN and Open Office. Once SUN GPL'd the code it was out there. So even when they decided to close source it the net effect was that the code forked. We still have Open Office and always will.
I don't think they transcribed every wiretap. They probably have a lot of taped conversations. What I'm interested in is what criteria they used to spy.
The Bush administration is fond of saying things like "If someone is talking to a terrorist..." They always try to justify their actions by suggesting that it only happens when a "bad guys" is involved. They hold people without allowing them due process. Something that our constitution guarantees as a right and justify doing so by saying that they only do that to terrorists and "enemy combatants" without ever giving the victim the chance to prove they are neither.
I'm betting that even though Bush claims they only spy on people who "talk to terrorists" when the truth comes out it will be anyone who talks to people in Iraq or other hot spots in the world.

Okay, but I get the patent on breathing!

And just who gave them my chili burger recipe?
Yeah that's right. And people can't be held without being charged and the government can't tape our phone conversations with out a warrent...

Joking... Just joking...
But the constant corporate bull shit blended with a government that is only responsive to money really starts to piss me off.
"Mules eat plants and grasses found naturally in the area."
And our solders can eat the mule. I'll bet the robotic one doesn't taste good even with barbecue sauce.

"Do the Democrats really want to return us to the days when al Qaeda could call its American operatives with impunity?"
There are current laws on the books that would allow a wire tap 72 hours PRIOR to a warrant being issued in these cases. That is sufficient.
This domestic spying crap is illegal and Emperor Bush and his cronies should be held accountable.
I don't think they transcribed every wiretap. They probably have a lot of taped conversations. What I'm interested in is what criteria they used to spy.
