Yes, that's exactly what the program is. My mom works at an elementary school and there are 5th graders who can't add. There is a girl at my high school who needs a calculator to do 22*3. One girl in my Geography class didn't know what country Baghdad is in. Another go confused because only the U.S. had A-bombs in WW2, but "why did Japan set them off twice" (if you don't follow, she thought Hiroshima and Nagasaki was done by the Japanese themselves).
It's pretty sad.
Man, that just ruined my whole day...not really, the pics were still cool. Why would anyone really care that someone thousands of miles away from them kinda lied?
We still use the ScanTrons, my Biology teacher checks over all of them before he gives them back to us to make sure the computer didn't make any errors.
I live in Indiana and go to high school. I've tried the computer grading - trust me, it sucks. It wouldn't find my brother's introduction and wouldn't grade mine, saying it was "offtopic" or something.
"Also, don't assume the worst in kids, unless they are male, and are pubescent, in which case, the answer is YES, he WAS looking at porn."
That's so true. And man, don't worry about it. I'm 15 and I have two comps in my room, my mom just gets kinda upset because she never sees me;) It's really not that big of a deal, I personally think you are overreacting on this subject.

I still think Asimo serv3s (hehe) that thing. Both are completely useless, but at least Asimo can wave when you throw him a newspaper.

Maybe they should just tell M$ about the security flaws? Otherwise people have a small time window to hack and stuff until M$ fixes the problem.
You'll need a hammer, which you'll use to destroy the computer after using Mandrake...

Yahoo! is so full of themselves...I hope AIM never tries this crap again; I'd die if I had to go back to the regular AIM from my belived GAIM.
This is just disgusting. The RIAA needs to stop.
There was a version of the Game Boy Pocket called the Game Boy Light, which the same as the Pocket but had a backlit scree.
