Obama really does deserve credit for powering the US economy out of the financial crisis.
By letting the same banks that crashed the economy in the first place to steal millions of homes through fraudclosure? Banks only grew larger and stayed over-leveraged under his watch. Like Obama's decision not to prosecute torturers leading directly to Gina "I tortured some foks" Haspel being nominated to head the CIA, his decision not to prosecute a single bank or banker will lead directly to another economic crisis. And he printed trillions of dollars to loan to banks at 0% interest, instead of helping people that actually work for a living.
So you don't actually have have any anecdotes - just confirmation bias and a list of complaints that could apply to any platform or environment. Crapware and a system administrator who can't manage to set up a printer? I'm sure that's never happened in a Windows or Linux shop./s
And that's ignoring the practicalities of assignments. "unable to get printer working with iPad", and "can't get the file off my iPad" is the new dog ate my homework.
See above. Google Docs works just as well on an iPad as an Android device, so WYP.
So what did students have trouble with? Math, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology
I don't know about chem or bio apps, but Pocket CAS is good enough for a math whiz kid to complete Calc I, II, and Linear Algebra from the local university.
Problem is, with the possible exception of Afghanistan
Not even Afghanistan. Taliban offered to hand over Bin Laddin if the USG presented some evidence that he was guilty of what they were accusing him of doing. But, like the successful weapons inspections going on in Iraq, this was ignored in favor an an illegal invasion.
And how many Targets have these uber security cameras, that can zoom in on ID's, no matter the angle, and then OCR the name and address information into a database, and do it reliably?
Yeah, the lack of mouse support is annoying. They've had 'force touch' out for four years now, so they have functional right-clicking already in the system.
My wife has taught in 2 schools who had abandoned the failure that was iOS in education for a system that actually allows you to do basic things such as: what you need to rather than what the walled garden will permit you to.
Can you even name a single area of study they weren't able to do? Sounds more like the Hatorade Distortion Field in action. And if you absolutely, positively had to use a Windows program for some reason, you could install Microsoft Remote Desktop and use it as a remote app.
Stallman is in favor of forced updates, forced installs of crapware, and operating systems that are not only built from the ground up to monetize you, but may as well have been written by the NSA? None of which applies to iOS...
with almost 500,000 deaths in Syria alone in the last 7 years
A CIA proxy war from the beginning. There isn't a civil war in Syria, there are "moderate" head chopping and organ eating rebels recruited, supplied and financed by the USG.
Just in Mexico there was 30,000 violent deaths last year
From America's War on Poor Drug Users, and putting millions of farmers out of work with NAFTA, so many of them joined the drug trade.
Throw in about 25,000 in Venezuela, 4,000 in Honduras
Two countries on the CIA regime change list. One successful, the other a work in progress.
As for Iraq, the total death toll since 2003 is between 125,000 and 250,000
More like a million. Yes, all the deaths in the resulting shootouts between Shiites and Sunnis is also the fault of the USG in that country.
I know it's easier to blame white males, but facts are not on your side.
Most of the above was planned and carried out by white males. There are a number of exceptions: Condi Rice, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Collin Powell, but most of all Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. A cosmopolitan group of war criminals.
Not really. High stress job where 50 hours can be a short work week, expected to have a masters and continue your own education, act as nurse/social worker/disciplinarian before even getting to the teaching part, and have your performance judged on factors entirely outside your control - the homes your students go to at the end of the day....the people who poo-poo teachers salaries wouldn't touch one for less than six figures.
Not so in agreement about charter schools. My kids go to them, they save the district money (educate kids for a fraction of the cost)
Only because they don't have to deal with special needs kids, are willing to have shittier teachers, and can pick & choose their students. And even then, for ever charter school that's better than a public school, there are two more charters that are worse.
and can't even begin to load full blown desktop progrmas
So? With a bluetooth keyboard you can write papers or do research just as well on an iPad as that HP tablet. And if you absolutely positively ermagerd need to use Windows programs for a class - just install Microsoft Remote Desktop and connect to a terminal server to run Autocad (or whatever). Something you could afford with the cost savings over the HP Way.
I work at Google and have a friend at San Bruno which i'm yet to hear about. Sorry if i'm ruining your party.
If that's the case, are you more concerned about your friend, or that someone made a cat video joke on some jerkwater blog? If your friend was hiding in a broom closet, were they likely to be looking at Slashdot with an active shooter around?
How many plastic sheets do you bedwetting McCarthyites go through in a week? Russiagate is by far the dumbest conspiracy ever, and the one with the most plot holes. And you do realize that you're attacking Trump from the right here, yes? The far right.
gerrymandering
Too bad Dems are too busy getting Punked again by the same people who lied about Iraq to do something constructive on this or other issues - but that was the point with this little psyop to begin with. And for all the bullshit about Hillary winning the "popular vote" (such a thing doesn't exist for POTUS) they aren't moving an inch to disband the Electoral College. By their own numbers they could have had a full quarter century of unbroken Democratic control of the White House, but it's Russia Russia Russia 24/7.
Then, despite being the first time EVER when one party has a majority of Congress, SCOTUS, and holds the Presidency, totally fail to get most of what you claim to want done.
Could have been worse - could have been like Obama and the filibuster-proof Democratic majority in 2009, who had to contort themselves into pretzel after pretzel in order to avoid passing any of the items they campaigned and won on. Public option, card check, ENDA, repealing DADT & DOMA - all went through the paper shredder before being deposited in the nearest outhouse. Now that shit was embarrassing.
If you merely show the card, then they have everything.
For half a second until its out of the tellers short-term memory. As opposed to being permanently recorded in a database that will be shared with advertisers and the NSA.

Thanks Obama!
And who picked Rumsfeld & Cheney? Conclusion seems to contradict the premise.
Lawyers do their best to make up for the non-drug abusing professionals with money tho
Yeah, but Stephen King makes up for their lack of brevity.

What tests are you speaking of, that aren't done on pencil and paper?
self awareness
Facts never have gotten in the way of the Hatorade Distortion Field.
projection
So, nope, can't name a single one. I'll let you get back to your morning glass of scotch, then.

Unless it's knocked off a counter while open, or otherwise damage the hinge that connects the display to the keyboard.
The reverse is also true, Fandroid.

No one at Google is ever going to see these comments, so calm down already. And humor is needed even in the darkest of situations.
