  1. Agentsheets is closed source, proprietary , costly on Programming — Now Starting In Elementary School · · Score: 1

    I question using agentsheets (tm), at a cost of $45 to $99 a license when open source solutions like Squeak and BYOB are available for free.
    This appears to be more an "enrichment" program for the owners of agentsheets.
    What a great way to spend scarce funding.

  7. Re:The problem is the people, not the education. on Universities Hold Transcripts Hostage Over Loans · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When a society fails, fear is created. Fear of failure, unemployment, homelessness, destroyed relationships and depression. We are now seeing the results of our government's change to the laws that favored wall street and moneyed interests. The last bastion for personal confidence after all has failed is religion. What we are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg for the chaos that is coming .

  11. Re:Why? on Amazon To Pay Texas Sales Tax · · Score: 1

    I believe Amazon purchased Woot, which is located in Texas.

  12. Re:Welcome to the future on ISOC Hires MPAA Executive Paul Beringer · · Score: 1

  15. Another idea on Avoiding Red Lights By Booking Ahead · · Score: 1

    would be to monitor approaching traffic and turn ALL directions red when an approaching vehicle is not reducing it's speed. Of course, Idiots would use this as a excuse to blow lights. So Again, Fail.
