IMHO, the placement of this sensor is completely worthless. By the time an intoxicated individual thinks to check his blood alcohol content (BAC), he will already be behind the wheel, and be unable to make a good decision regarding his ability to drive. This is because the convenience of already being behind the wheel may influence. As such, this sensor adds no benefit to an intoxicated individual. BAC tests should be placed somewhere away from where an intoxicated individual can cause harm
I got my start on computers around the age of 10. My dad got me a book on programming in QBASIC for my birthday. I think my love for computers arose out of the fact that my dad created a simple.bat file that became a games menu for all of my DOS games. It was really rather neat thinking about it. At any rate, soon after that, I was programming my own games and that itself kept me interested to keep learning more. I think showing kids GUI's and graphics...giving them the tools to make things they are interested in...games...is the way to keep the interest peaked. As I'm sure all other Slashdotters out there know, programming can really help you learn to think in a way that school can't really teach you, and for me, that helped a lot.
Learned Activity: "I've noticed you share a lot of music online."
Learned Response: "I'll automatically go get your subpoena for you online.:-)"
Let's just make sure the RIAA doesn't program this thing.
As part of my freshman year at UMASS Amherst, students were required to take a Freshman Writing requirement. The professor decided to make the class "technologically advanced" by making use of a blog style online diary. Each week, students were required to write 4 700 word entries. The teacher wanted us students to feel free to say what we wish, and thus allowed anything in the blog. After a few initial blogs of quality writing, it became an online flamefest. Anytime the teacher did something wrong, it showed up online. As a student, I felt as though the online aspect actually degraded my writing skills, due to the nature of the online writing. However, in my opinion, the use of computers in the classroom can be a distinct advantage. While the online blog may not be the best, students can use their computers to their advantage. For example, I feel completely uncomfortable writing on paper, and I prefer to type my ideas directly into a word processor. It just means less time I have to spend later, back in my dorm. Believe me, students love it when you give them time to work on stuff in the classroom. Props to you for checkin/. for suggestions.
