Test the teachers on the material they are teaching. Completely objective metric. If they know the material and yet their students do not and their peer (same grade, same school) classes are succeeding with the same criteria, then the teacher doesn't know how to teach. Either re-train them or let them go.
Set it up like the cell carriers with rollover GB. You get 500 GB/mo and roll over. It's a limit for heavy users and practically unlimited for everyone else.
Most consumers pay a fixed fee for their connection and rarely use 50% of it's throughput. For these people ads are not taxing enough to be considered abusive even if the ads are being served partly on their dime. It's like TV or radio to them. Unmetered access so no opportunity cost.
Not true. Google serves up a lot of image and rich media ads. Google reps will tell you that click through rates on image based ads outside of google.com are significantly higher than text ads.
The poorest of the poor don't use oil for anything. They could care less what the world does with oil. Their great grand children may have a use for it but by then a suitable alternative would be much more useful to them since it's likely they won't be profiting from oil and it will be more scarce regardless of conservation measures.
Devils advocate but if your findings preclude additional studies and funding you are stopping a potential gravy train. So yes a grant could affect the outcome if it is the basis for more grants.
Anecdotally I work at a company where getting a Blackberry is an email away. IT services has hundreds of unopened phones sitting there with pre-registered numbers for anyone who needs one. I have several co-workers who were assigned these phones but have yet to open their boxes. So in my experience RIMs numbers may just be a little inflated.
OTOH we also have tens of MacBook Pros also sitting in boxes at any given time. I'm personally pulling to replace the Blackberrys with iPhones but we'd have to get through the inventory on hand firat at least.
I just listen to free radio. They still don't get my money. I would download but too much risk. As is I don't really know what I'm missing so no incentive to buy either. Not sure if I'd buy but it's lost opportunity in their side with no sales gain.
He ran the transform function on his library of mp3s. The same as his app does against the sample music. Then he runs the datapoint collection routine and stores it in a database. So he did mention it but you must have skimmed past that part as it was really quick.
Supposedly your hand must be slightly sweaty ie more conductive for the bridge to trigger the connection switch that results in a dropped call. Just saying that's what I heard. .
They should at least give the players in ear radios to communicate. Nice noise canceling versions but make sure they are on both a monitored but also encrypted channel.
Do you also care less about accurate description of a news source. If it came as an interview over satellite phone would yo rather they said " I talked to " witness A in Kabul or " I spoke over satellite phone " to Witness A who was in Kabul.
Same here. I'd the news source is "Pres. Obama sent out a tweet addressing accusations of corruption in the National Mineral Management Dept. " or Pres Obama announced it.
What's funny is that WAY more people use Twitter on a daily basis than have ever looked at the NYT.
As far as Quality News. Heh. NYT isn't really holding up that well. I rarely see anything there I haven't already read about at the primary source (in more detail and less bias).
I haven't heard anyone use those terms in 20 years. Mostly I hear " make a copy for me" which usually means print an extra copy... I hear "have a tissue?" Which means "do you have a box of fresh clean tissues with lotion on them that I can take and never give back or replace". I also don't hear Rolodex, Scotch Tape, Walkman, or any other brand names for generic goods. When someone says they've got an iPhone it better be an iPhone. Same is true of any other premium brand - otherwise they should just use the generic term.
Twitter or tweeting is very specific. It's not Chat or Texting or Email or Facebook. It uses hashtags for meme labeling and Shortcodes to help compress the communication. It fine if you are ignorant of something that > 100 million people use on a daily basis - just don't try to explain it to anyone else.

No mention of Ruby scripting, Websocket support, Geolocation or hardware accelleration in the Windows version. Nobody's reaaly looked past the extensions feature have they?
You can get digital artwork of many network hardware components in Visio or Omnigraffle format then extract the artwork files Then print them out and attach then to magnetic vinyl at a large size. Now you can illustrate whatever you need on a magnetized whiteboard. Or you could use corkboard and string.
Not sure about the licenses but they are free to download. Search online for.gstencil files (or go to http://www.omnigraffle.com./
MS needs to fuully separate the render engine fron the browser in a way so that they can be updated individually. There are features in the browser which users may like or dislike, may require or not. Let the browser handle things like plugins just provide hooks for compositing in the render engine. Let the browser handle security, etc. Let the render "render".
Yeah video at 320x240 12 fps in a horribly blocky encoding with mono audio at 64kbps. Feel free to go back to that - I'll enjoy my 1080p HD at full framerate with the extra bandwidth you've just freed up.
Fucking awesome post. Made my night. Well that and finally getting around to watching Sherlock Holmes and Zombieland. The only thing that'd be better is if I had an iPad to mess around with via Appcellerator Titanium.

Hmm sorry, don't need noscript. I have a good hosts file. Pretty sure that trumps your power user argument and let's me use any browser I want.

There has got to be drama.
First you've got to qualify. Training on earth. Then near orbit. Then a space station. Then the moon and beyond.
There need to be accidents and malfunctions and politics, alll the usual causes for potential disaster on a mission.
There need to be puzzles. So building things when you don't have all the right parts and have to make due.
There needs to be competition. Objectives. Scarcity of resources with multiple teams after the same stuff.
There needs to be relationships. So alliances, teams and rank.
All of these things add up to a challenging game environment. Less simulation, more game.

Block the download of the swf and there's no swf available to read in. So adblock works but a custom stylesheet would not.
