Computers just by themselves are already great teachers. I'd bet those kids learned a lot more with them.
Now the question is what they learned a lot about. Was it games, porn, their friends, astronomy, programming? The only thing one can be cairtan is that it was in not the (dull) curriculum of school.
Your Esperanto is too logical, it does not lead to good non-explicity messages. What good is a language you can not make good jokes on? Could very well adopt Orwell's new-speack
"Limited infrastructure" nowadays means that you have plenty of computing power available and good enough bandwidth, bot no sterilized room, no reactancts storage and maybe no stable area to work.
Have you ever tried the Python bidings of GTK or QT?
Of course, most companies aren't fast enough to have switched to Python already, so they are migrating to C#. Or more probably, to web based Java software.
Trusted Computing requires that you don't have the master key for your computer. That's evil.
Protected boot sequence (it has another name, I won't bother to search it, sorry) is not inherently evil. It is only evil if used with Trusted Computing.
Maintaining the entire surface area of a dwarf star (several times bigger than Earth) a hundred of times over the background radiation temperature requires some amount of heat. Certainly there is fusion going there.
You probably mean 8 or so years ago. They were "VERY sucessful" if you define that term by "you can even buy one at a real store, you don't need to order one from the net". It was not a long-tail product, but that is miles away from being sucessful.
By that time the entire mobile segment was made slower because there was no good OS available for use, and the users recognized the fact.
Also, each day that people don't find it puts us farther away from the Higgs bosson. In a year or two the information that "researches still didn't find the bosson" will be very newsworth.
"Of course you're probably not going to use GIMP for anything scientific"
Yeah, because you can't use a double for each channel. And you GIMP won't support a double for each channel because nobody would ever use it for scientific computation...
There was a time when teachers were hired to, you know, teach, and kids were expected to learn. Nowadays, teachers are hired to grade, and kids are expected to pass.
All those problems of teachers exploring the kids are a consequence of that disfunctional relationship they have now, and won't go away untill the actual problem (and it IS a problem) is fixed, it doesn't matter what kind of barriers you put between them.
The RMB is undervalued because China's government is lending huge amount of it for the US government to spend buying chinese products. (And, yes, that is called a "peg".)
Please read the posts answering you instead of rephrasing the same question again, and again. Otherwise, you'll continue getting the same answer rephrased again and again. All currencies float based on the amount people want to buy/sell it. All governments do lend/borrow currency (being their or other ones) at this market to some extent. The only differing attibutes of the Yuan/Dollar relationship is the amount both governments are willing to lend/borrow.
Well, I don't know if I want people that are too lazy to vote actualy voting. Anyway, Brazil "solves" the second problem by making the vote obligatory. I don't know what to think about it, except that it does fix this one problem.
I can imagine it happening. But at the same time, why would somebody just release the energy of 10,000 nucler warheads just to secure the energy of some oil under the soil?
It is just completely irrational. The problem is that people are completely irrational...
A small correction. Nothing living on Earth would be able to metabolize its aminoacids. Atacking it is a way easier feat, and lots of organisms (maybe most of them) are able to digest (but not assimilate) right chirality aminoacids.
Also, an organism isn't entirely composed of proteins.
Oh, no. There were probably people like them when fire was invented.
What I'm curious about is what was the professor research that created so much panic. Was it just because the "nano" prefix at the description? Are we getting another "nuclear"?

Yeah, I tought that would make you stop complinning about English.
It seems you already know it, and my guess was wrong.
99,9% (did I miss any 9?) of the programmers out threre don't seem to have many problems doing it.
Men, you should learn French... Or Portugueese.

Two decades ago, it had just the inverse meaning.
We have approximately 200,000 years of experience on using hight tech to "save the world". It seems to work quite well on most tasks.
Of course once in a while it fails.

That is a pretty big back yard you have. Doing the lawn must be tiresome.

What has happened to Eve? I havent heard anything from her in for a long time.
Assymetric cryptography not only can prevent a MITM, it is the normally preferred and accepted way.
- Scream (DoS) all over the frequencies the real AP is talking, so that the victim will choose another channel.

I think you are getting things upside down here. Hight temperatures inside a star inhibits fusion, that is how a start gets at equilibrium.

"The previous news was wrong" is news.

Konqueror + KDE wallet are missing "only" NoScript.
But the KDE combo has Kget, what, now that the Firefox is so braindead at downloading things, is quite usefull.
Yeah, because you can't use a double for each channel. And you GIMP won't support a double for each channel because nobody would ever use it for scientific computation...

I'm all for it granted that you have a procedure to help hundreds of millions of people to agree on a budget.
