  2. DISGUSTING on Another Garbage Patent · · Score: 1

    We applaud Apple for using and helping open-source.

    Now they Patent Cron??

    That is going way too far. Apple isn't even a complete monopoly and they are pretending to be one.

    Imagine what would have happened if apple was the one with the monopoly.

    I say we boycot Apple and make our own windozless OSXless PCs like real men should.

    I could see this as a big promo. You can add what you like to a free CDr, but whn you put it in the drive, a wonderful pop-up ad comes up from the beauty of AutoRun. Of course, those you use REAL OS's need not fear. :->

    I am confused, can somebody explain to me.

    Is this a super-bochs should I feel like running windoze on linux?

  9. I think he hit them on the nose on Whither America's Technological Edge? · · Score: 1

    Summary:

    Follow the rules.

    Educate kids

    Work hard

    I think this entails a lesson that good parents have taught kids for years.

    However I do feel that these 3 truths of society are degrading in North America:

    Educate Kids Each passing generation of children moreso regards homework as punishment than the previous, much unlike their asian counterparts. Children will only learn as much as they want to, not based upon how much cash you put into a school.

    Follow the rules When you ask someone about piracy, they say "If I can get something for free, I will.

    Work Hard It seems everyone wants the job which they work the least in.

  10. I like another one on Will Your CD Player Tell on You? · · Score: 1

    When I used to use windoze, I used ZoneAlarm. It is also freeware. Just look for it on CNet. It had a handy feature of being able to run in the windoze 98 equivlant of an applet in a panel. (You'll see when you download) It allowed you to block ports and restrict which programs wanted access.

    I also used Tine Personal Firewall, but found ZoneAlarm more convenient.

  17. It is not uncommon for very smart kids to get it on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 1

    The brain is limitless in capability regardless of what it is diagnosed with.

    There is nothing wrong with your daughter. Throughout my time as a student, I have known many children who had ADHD, but mainly 'cause they were early bloomers.

    Primary school teachers don't seem to care about a child once they exhibit annoying behaviour. Teachers will often ask the parent to give ridaline as a way to get rid of a problem.

    I remember reading that Ridaline is overprescribed.

    One of my teachers described his experience with Ridaline as a young boy, and stated that it made him severely depressed and everything a blur.

    First teach your children how to behave. (Sorry If I am jumping to the conclusion that your daughter is misbehaved, but teachers only advise Ridaline to children who bug them.) Teachers don't care how sane/insane your child is, they just want to teach the students that are quiet and behave in class.

    Elementary School Teachers will try to get rid of a child who misbehaves instead of correct it. I've seen teachers simply send students into the hall for no reason so that they can teach the rest of the class. ADHD is an excuse to move the problem to /dev/null.

    I am sure I'd have been diagnosed with ADHD hadn't my parents taught me extreme respect for teachers. They always told me to sit quiet in class and do nothing but pretend to listen.

    Your daughter will become hated by classmates if you put her on Ridaline, hated by teachers if you don't. Just teach her to stay queitly in class and do nothing but what the teacher says. Have this issue fixed before grade 3, or she will have a lifelong scar of a tainted childhood.

    I remember a perfect case of ADHD in a smart kid in elementary school. He was violent, rude, and everyone hated him by grade 6. This is only because the teachers singled him out in each class, and separated him from the other sudents as a method to get rid of the problem. He now has no childhood.

    By the way, elementary school teachers more often than not, can't teach Math and Science. Tell your daughter to simply memorise everything the teacher says, and forget it right after so that you can teach it to her right.

    One more thing to look out for. I have seen many genius kids lose their edge over others by stopping to try in class. Eventually the average kids will catch up to your daugher if you do not teach her the enriched stuff.

    Sorry if I insulted any teachers reading this, this is a a sample of teachers from the three elementary school's I've been to. Along with the two schools my Sister went to.

    Hope everything works out
