My program was EXTREMELY engaging, we had projects weekly that you had to get working.
I'm glad to hear it. I don't doubt this was part of the reason you enjoyed the class and benefited from it.
By engaging yourself you got a willingness to learn more and progress your knowledge
There is more to it than simply an engaging teacher, the other part is the student; one who is equipped and willing to learn. How is it the teachers fault if the student doesn't do the work? Example, a student played video games or partied all weekend and didn't do the homework and their grade suffers from lack of action on their part. There is only so much you can effectively put onto the instructor before it becomes a philosophy, every mistake is the fault of leadership etc.
it's not engaging a enough and a good teacher engages the class room.
Nothing else? Not a willingness to learn and be there, not support from their parents, nothing to do with attendance? All learning has to do with the teacher being engaging. How's that work for College?
The only real factor in the end is the teaching because if the teaching is done effectively then everyone will be at the same level.
A non-trivial amount of schoolwork is done at home. Teachers are not responsible for their students outside of the class, that's a parent's job. Beyond HS when you enter college one is required to work a lot of stuff out on their own.
if the teacher sucks then kids wont learn the material where as if the teacher is a rock star teacher that makes a difference then the skin color doesn't matter the kids will learn
On top of that if the students don't do the work, they won't succeed. Some students aren't there to learn, it's little more than a daycare. How is that the teacher's fault? It's not engaging enough or something? I've been in classes and later jobs where people are unable to get anything done without someone riding their ass.
I just wish we could go metric, like the rest of the fucking world.
Nothing is stopping you from that, what is a significant issue is all the signs that are out there, the cost to replace those isn't trivial. The military uses it and most science is done in it. The reason for TV shows (News included) using imperial units is because the point of the show is to get the message across to their audience and what better way to do that in terms people are familiar with. Interesting flights use feet for altitude.
But no, the USA just has to be different with an antiquated system of measurement that no one else uses.
UK still hasn't fully converted over. Each system has their merits, one that I see commonly used to push metric temperatures is "Hey Americans, what temperature does water freeze at? It's easy, 0!" while glossing over what salt water freezes at. The history of how these systems came about is really interesting. Using 10 makes for easy conversions, it's true, 12 also has more divisors which comes in handy especially in construction. Beyond that most imperial units involve halving things, which is natural to do when you only have one of something.
Valve and linux is laughable. Gabe is all butt hurt because he doesnt want to make a modern ui version of Steam Store. Boohoo. Gabe somehow managed to present the idea that he would be squeezed out of windows gaming all together due to windows 8.. its nonsense.
Yet Apple doing the same thing with their walled garden isn't laughable? Wait and see with the way things are progressing. Apple is considering another architecture jump. Here is an interesting post on that
Windows 8 is the same thing as Windows 7, but better.
Better how?
Linux is like starting in the dark ages of computers.
Yet its running everything from routers, mobile phones, TVs, computers, servers. Must be why all the Super computers run Microsoft or Apple offerings, right?
Your list is missing releases:
Windows 1.0 - November 1985.
Windows 2.0 - October 1987. (2 years)
Windows 3.0 - 1990 (3 years) Windows 3.1 - 1992 (2 years)
Windows 95 - August 1995 (3 years) Windows 98 - 1998 (3 years) Windows 98 SE - 1999 (1 year)
Windows 2000 / Windows ME - February 2000, (1 year)
Windows XP - October, 2001 (1 year!)
Windows Vista - January, 2007 (6 years)
Windows 7 - July 2009 (2 years!)
Windows 8 - October 2012 (3 years)
The general trend has been about 5 years, unless an operating system has bombed (Vista, ME). These each represent the major new versions, not minor updates (for example, Windows 95 -> Windows 98 was not included, because they basically have the same kernel and architecture).
You don't include Windows 98 because they're basically the same, but then again include Windows Vista & 7. If you're not including minor updates and similar architectures Apple OS releases would be even more paltry (see features). While confirming some things interesting that 2009 was the first year of 64bit support for Apple kernels, wow.
I'm not including NT, CE, etc., because those aren't used by a lot of consumers and don't represent the "main family" of Windows products.
Don't want Windows over represented with Server products, right?
So if some new technology comes out... won't work for Windows 7. Imagine if this spring, some new version of WiFi is released that works over distances of 20 miles, at gigabit speeds, and allows infinite porn downloading. Tell me, how do you feel being forced to shell out another $300 on top of the grand you just spent getting your current computer for a new operating system, just to use said new hardware that otherwise would have had support added to it?
Wouldn't that hypothetical person now be at parity with an Apple hardware purchase? How's the work for people who aren't running iOS6 or OS 10.7+?
Apple, who supports most of their products for almost a decade after they are first released, from the iPhone to the Mac mini -- the patches keep coming.
Reality doesn't support your claims. Apple devices are supported for about 3 years. Apple operating systems receive updates for about 2-3 years.
Microsoft seems to be almost strong-arming people into adopting the latest operating system despite a lack of any "killer app" features -- they're saying now there will be no more service packs, no rollups, and no new features, for an operating system that just turned 3.
Considering that's SOP for Apple. Pot meet kettle?
Lighten up people. Read and understand before spazzing out with flaming responses on a simple opinion poll by a fellow/.er. Someday you might actually want an opinion on something too. Perhaps on how to behave in civil society. I won't hold my breath.
I'm not flaming or spazzing out. My opinion and reasoning are pretty sound, especially for a question which has been asked and answered before, many times over the years. I've listed links in several of my other posts, if you're curious to what they may be.
Lastly, your assumption you'd understand and run into any problems in a week is laughable. I write software for a living and sometimes bugs slip in.
I'm not the one who came up with the week time frame, friend. See the post above me, in fact since you were too lazy to even do that I'll quote it:
Some of us know that even if we were to devote the equivalent of a week of work worth of time that we may not notice subtle differences that might come back to bite us months after we have committed to one system and then require another week of work to convert everything over to try some other system.
I'm aware of bugs slipping in software, this is another reason to understand your platform, and does anyone do unit tests anymore?
I have no need for VM, but I think the opinion of those using it, in many different settings, is much more valuable that any wiki entry or manual.
His post is spot on. The question isn't profound and has been asked and answered many times over the years. There is more to the internet than wiki entries and manuals. Most of these software packages have forums and guides specifically about setting up, configuring, and using these packages. Failing that there are oodles of video tutorials on sites like Youtube and Vimeo. To top it off basic questions about "Recommented free VM software" have been asked (and answered). If you have technical questions those are best found where users of the software congregate, if you can't fathom where that would be, first try the vendors website.
Perhaps your time would have better spent giving us some information instead of a rant?
So your solution is to rant about a rant? Maybe you can make an ask slashdot question about this very topic!
What, pray tell, is the purpose of education if each person has to find out everything by themselves, and no one can take advantage of the collective wisdom of society, and the accumulated learning built up over history?
They don't have to find out everything by themselves. Chances are people have done what this guy is trying to do and have written about their experiences. If only there was some way to find this information, perhaps someonehasaskedthe questionbefore?
Not all of us live in our mother's basement and have unlimited time.
I don't live in a basement or have unlimited time, but I do know how to ask questions and formulate searches to get answers. Google is like the card catalog found in libraries. It's pretty unfortunate that someone's unable to use it effectively, that should be motivation enough to improve. If you're being paid to do this for work, sounds like you're unqualified.
Some of us know that even if we were to devote the equivalent of a week of work worth of time that we may not notice subtle differences that might come back to bite us months after we have committed to one system and then require another week of work to convert everything over to try some other system.
What are you doing that takes a week to discover if your VM can or can't do it? You'll know pretty much after installing something on it if it'll work, if not, chances are someone has already had the issue and it'll be listed on their forums (or somewhere else which is accessible via Google.)
Some of us remember a time when the internet was for helping newbies (while sometimes asking them to RTFM) rather than berate them.
In the time it takes someone to read all of the replies here one could put on their thinking cap and use Google to:
1) Find the most popular VMs currently. Example: "Popular Virtual Machine software 2012"
2) Visit the project/company websites and see what features they have, and review their licenses. Paid, Free private/commercial, etc.
3) Cruise on over to Youtube or Vimeo if you need additional help installing, configuring, using these platforms.
The barrier to entry has never been cheaper or easier than it is today. If you're too lazy to even do your own homework what makes you think this endeavor will be successful? Getting a VM and installing something onto it is the easy part, the hard part is the work you're doing with it.
Yeah... you also missed the part where tipping in cash sucks if you are NOT the server but are also due a percentage of the tips.
That has nothing to do with the customer and everything to do with the people you work with. The post I replied to made a broad claim saying that the only reason for tipping cash is tax evasion. My understanding is the wait staff are to tip the people who prep the tables, quicker turn around time means more people served, meaning more money (in theory with that system). If you cheat the people who support you don't expect stellar service, seems counter productive.
Do you also believe tipping cash is used exclusively for tax evasion purposes? My argument was based around the idea that cash is convenient for the customer, the ones who ultimately make the business succeed and directly have an effect on the money in your pocket.
I think you're right that paying in cash is usually the best option, if for nothing else than relieving the business of the credit card fee.
I'd be surprised if it hasn't been factored into the cost of doing business. Since you have a great interest in taxes why are you paying with cash at all? After all, shouldn't the employer be the focus of taxes instead of the people who actually serve you (and it)? Why just tips? Were you waiting tables while you went to school and forced to itemize everything while someone else didn't and now you have this traumatic past experience looming over you? Are you at all familiar with Steve Buscemi's Character in Reservoir Dogs?
But I also think that "tipping in cash" implies tipping in cash on top of a credit card payment, usually for tax avoidance, and that's what bothers me.
You tip for service. I can tell you don't go to bars much, where a good attitude and a nice tip usually get you treated extremely well. You're still convinced that its explicitly for tax avoidance. If you're that concerned stick to cards and, like, make those people pay their fair share! *shakes fist*
Those are many good reasons to *pay* in cash. You specified *tip*
I did not specify tip. You are suffering from not paying attention, here's a hint: I'm not the one you initially replied to. You are now aware you're on a forum visited by multiple individuals, or are we?
and the only reason specific to tipping that I can think of is tax avoidance.
Here is another one, convenience. If I paid in cash, why would I tip with a card? Just curious, is that how you do it in the bay area now? Inquiring minds...
So that you can compete for the price of a handful of rice.
Yes, because outsourcing to the lowest bidder works out well for everyone involved. Must be why sites like Freelancer and Elance offer features restricting, erm, filtering certain countries. If you've ever worked with someone else on a nontrivial project you realize how important speaking the same language is. What's that old saying, if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is?
Let these companies make short sighted decisions using dollar signs as the single biggest motivating factor. Let them deal with a project (I use that term loosely, quagmire is more apt) that is handled by multiple outsourced contractors who are having issues scaling the project and implementing new features. Incompetence knows no borders. More money for those involved who know what they're doing.
This guy is a PhD at Google. I wonder if he is affiliated with their payment scheme, you know the exact opposite of that anonymous payment method which is used exclusively for evil. Sign in, associate your phone number with your email address, use our software which bleeds information about you, and use our convenient payment platform for great good. That sound you just heard was someone getting a giant boner for a subpoena. What next, anonymity is unpatriotic and suspect?
Meanwhile heard in the secret underground marketing lair, analyst hall...
Look another conversion! I told you those ads worked!
God damn, I remember when the average Slashdotter actually knew how to formulate an argument.
Ah the Slashdot of yore. Technical discussions and greybeard wisdom abound! Look at how much this site has grown over the last two decades. The online access barrier to entry has dropped significantly enabling more people than ever to get online and share their views, facebook, and youtube comment! Not to mention the whole culture of celebrating ignorance. I sound like my father now.
Congratulations on being one of those people who splits lunch with their 12 coworkers and uses a card to pay. I hate being behind people like you, the ones who use their cards to pay for lotto tickets and hold the line up charging $1 items. The only people worse than the card payers are the people who write checks.
It's better only for the server, and it's only better because it helps them avoid taxes.
You're complaining about tipping a server cash because they MIGHT not pay taxes on it? What a nice leap of logic, cash == avoiding taxes. Looks like the media is winning. What next, if you don't identify yourself online you're a terrorist and/or into child porn? I thought it was more people in and out the more money the establishment makes, anything that can be done to expedite that everyone wins, right? Why don't you focus your efforts on something like Hollywood Accounting.
In fact, that's worse for everyone in the country who is not the server.
