Elementary matrix manipulations should most definitely be taught to do by hand. I was referring to doing larger matrix calculations, like those done in a finite element analysis, etc. Things I did in my junior year of college.
Teachers should not be required to teach tech. The only areas I can see where tech would help things are in engineering or science classes. But even in a science class, you are just using a computer as a data-logger, that's it. Math shouldn't be using tech, as the students should be learning how to do the math without the tech. Computers only help out in crazy high level classes where you have to start doing things like matrix manipulations, etc. Do I care that my teacher does or doesn't have a blog? No, that's silly. If they want to post office hours on a website, fine, go right ahead. Video-conferencing? Practically worthless in the teaching environment.
Here's the easiest way....have this guy not only publish his results, but his methods too. Put the plans up for free download so anyone can follow his plans and build such a device. When hundreds (or thousands) of these devices start popping up and people are getting spied on by their fellow citizens, there will be an outrage! (silly emphasis). After that, the manufacturers may start including the warnings.
Note: using one of these devices probably already violates various cyber-laws, so that threat wouldn't deter many if it's hard to be caught.
Or you find a ROM that tries to provide a Stock feel. The Cyanogen roms are fairly famous for this. It's as close to stock as you can get. No special themes, no extra apps, just a rooted ROM with extra goodies. As soon as you turn it on, the only difference you would notice is a few extra settings that you can play with, and the ability to install whatever kernel and apps you want.
Well, the 3d is gimped a bit actually, and that's why they can do it with hdmi 1.3. The PS3 will just flicker the frames, so you won't be getting nice 120hz 3d, but more like 30hz 3d.
! what is the big deal!
(This message was sent from my Android phone on the Sprint network).
The big deal is that a person should have a reasonable expectation that a $300 device would work as it should, without having to spend another $30 to fix what shouldn't need fixing.
//I have an android phone on vz, so it doesn't really apply to me
See, the head company makes money, but your contract is with the smaller company that was created. So in this case, you work for Babylon 5 Incorporated. Babylon 5 Inc lost money, tons of it, but they aren't publicly traded or owned. This smaller company is wholly owned by Warner, Fox, etc., who charge the Babylon 5 LLC tons of money for the show. Things like loans, distribution fees, advertising, etc. Warner then gets that money and reports that on their books to their shareholders, which are open, and everything works out quite nicely.
All planes start boarding 30 minutes before takeoff. Everyone does it. All require lining up too. And with Southwest you have assigned numbers so you know how to line-up. What's the big deal? The only reason I end up standing 40 minutes prior toa flight is because all the chairs are taken up by one person who has their bag sitting on the chair next to them....
It is generally accepted in Christianity that the five books of moses contains moral, ceremonial, ritual and civil laws, and that Christianity are bound by the moral laws (i.e. ten commandments, etc). Now if you want to go on and debate about the hypocrisy of Christianity and picking and choosing what is to be followed, and what is to be left behind and why, then that is most likely an unanswerable debate....
You were referring to a Christian marriage. True, the vows are not in the bible, but the ten commandments are. Now, if the you misspoke and weren't referring to a Christian marriage, then the bible means f*ck-all to that marriage. But, in a Christian marriage, regardless of the vows that are said, there is a very EXPLICIT outlining of what you should and shouldn't do in this case. Bible says, don't commit adultery. It doesn't have an asterisk stating that it only applies to a marriage. The two are not exclusive in this context. By being a Christian you are saying you won't do those things. Yeah, people sin, it happens, but that doesn't mean they still aren't wrong. So you may not have said in your vows you wouldn't cheat, but by being Christian you shouldn't be cheating, so forgive the spouse for expecting that....
Most of what you are going on about is something that the two individuals should discuss BEFORE getting married. If they haven't had that talk with one another about what the expectations of the marriage are, what it means to each other, etc., then you SHOULD NOT GET MARRIED to that person. If you haven't talked this over, then I am sorry to say that you probably are not mature enough to be married....i.e, you aren't "ready" yet, because you haven't thought to discuss these points, which are all very important. This discussion would save MANY marriages from divorce because the marriage would most likely not happen in the first place
Well, you are correct, those are your choices if you don't like your marriage. Stick with it and don't cheat, end it, or stick with it but cheat. You now are making a very good case about the entire construct of marriage and what it entails. I won't argue that point because I will agree to some extent that many people will have varying feelings over time. My answer to that is, don't get married, or get married with that understanding with your partner going into it well in advance if you are worried about the fading feelings. The 7-year contract probably would work for a lot of people out there.
Seriously? Go read the ten commandments again. Coveting thy neighbors wife is in there, and so is adultery. Hell, it has its own commandment specifically stating such....
And he specified Christian, therefore implying Bible. A legal marriage is complete a separate thing from a religious one. If you choose to take Christian vows, then you are also following the Christian bible. Can't really have one without the other, unless you are going to be a complete hypocrite. A legal marriage can be whatever two people agree on with whatever vows they want, and therefore are not also bound by the bible.
It is somehow more ethical to end a marriage, after taking a vow to stay with your spouse until death?.
In the same promise of marriage, you most likely made it a point that faithfullness was a part of marriage as well. Is it more ethical to end a marriage after your vow to stay until death, or to cheat behind their back?
As a matter of fact, even the traditional christian marriage vow does not contain faithfulness. Look it up.
Let's see....something in Genesis if I recall pertained exactly to this. Something about adultery....I think it was one of ten ideas, or laws, or fuzzy warm feelings, or something like that. Maybe commandments? Who knows, the Bible isn't really worth anything really to a Christian marriage....

Then you shouldn't worry (yet) as your phone is CDMA not GSM

You can't cheat in an open marriage....

Nothing says you can't be married only for the tax and legal reasons.....I don't agree with it, but it's not illegal.
You must watch a lot of Lifetime movies....
"Why wouldn't they get a divorce first?"
Maybe there are children involved, and the divorce would harm the children emotionally...
You mean, emotionally other than growing up watching their parents be part of a loveless relationship filled with lies and deceit?
Maybe there is a risk of alimony payments. Maybe there is a risk of losing a house, car, or other very valuable property.
So money is more important than ethics? You sound ripe for a CEO of a major corporation. You'll go quite far!
