  1. Re:First thing to remember on Intellectual Property Discussion in the Classroom? · · Score: 1

    Actually there are some great lessons there to be taught. If there are to be handouts that day post them to a website, and inform the students. On the day of class ask if anybody brought the notes for the class, invariably someone will have printed them out. Then you can start talking about copyright.

    Well - on my box with its 15 extensions installed, the memory usage is now less then *half* of what it used to be. It did drop what was known to be a memory leaker and that is probably a good part of it, but at the moment with 10 tabs - 68M, not bad at all.

    Now what could he say to get the people and congress to go into Iraq....hmmmmm....what could he say - how about

    "Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom. Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror..."

    from here His Jan 2002 state of the Union speech.


    But wasn't he just getting bad information? Well, no he wasn't getting bad info, it just wasn't the info he wanted.

    So he went on the air and *lied* to the american people about Iraq's involement with terrorists. And if he would lie to start a war I have no trouble believing that he would lie about anything else. So, is that enough proff yet?

  10. Let go. on Different Ways to Conceptualize Math? · · Score: 1

    If you are struggling now, you wont make it, let go.

    My story: I was always good at math, and so as a senior in high school I ended up in the highest math course offered. The teacher was great, I mean really great. Like state teacher of the year great. This guy Dr Corbin Smith, taught only the highest math and remedial math....nothing in between. Any way, we used to sit and discuss the mathematics of odd solids (without the calc) it was very fun. But I was failing his class, badly. I worked my butt off and I still couldn't get the pre-calc he was teaching. It was somewhere in the middle of the year he said something I will never forget: "Sera, you have a great love of mathematics, but you suck at it."

    My college pre-calc I got a C, Calc I was differential calc, the only reason I passed the class was that the final was multiple guess. I was the last one to leave the exam hall because I integrated every answer and picked the closest one. Calc II, well, let us say after taking the class 4 (yes four) times I still dont really understand it. After the second time through Dr Smith's words came back to me. Needless to say I tried everything and eventually I realized - I am just not wired for higher math. It happens. I am a great programmer, and a huge geek able to grasp concepts quickly that others just cant get at all. You have strengths, math is not one of them. Find out what yours are and run with them, you will be happier in the long run.
