So what is the other side of the statistic? How many times has a GPS unit sent someone in the correct direction, when a human would have driven the wrong way without the GPS?
Annnd this is exactly what mod points are NOT for. They are not "I agree with you" tokens.
"That's just like, your opinion, man."
Seriously, I'll use my mod points however the fuck I like, Mr Mod Point Policeman.
My, how this site has changed.
Believe it or not, there actually used to be an automated meta-moderation system that checked to make sure you were using your mod points in the appropriate way. The Slashdot FAQs still talk about it, but I haven't seen it in a while.
Anyone know why it left or if it is still happening?
You mentioned free software being license free, but what about Apple now that their OS and their office suite is free? I'm not familiar with Apple support contracts, so maybe there is more to it.
How will things play out now that Microsoft is the only one charging for OS and office suites? I'm sure they can hold on for quite a while, but the landscape is pretty interesting right now.
Finance, IT... something that is needed in at least some small part in every company. Every company needs someone to keep the books. As companies get bigger, every company needs some bit of IT.
Every company needs management as well, but those type of jobs seem to be less stable. It is more difficult to "fire / reorganize away" a doer than a manager in an organization.
If you get into something more specific like Mechanical Engineer, your options begin to be more limited (less jobs in smaller cities)... but your pay goes way up!
Should license fees relate to driver having the knowledge of every street in town? Sounds like it might be better served by allowing competition. "XYZ Cab Company has more knowledgeable drivers, I'll use them"
or
"Uber is cheaper, so I'll use them".
3. Strict controls in the form of standardized curricula, teaching methods and tests stifle creativity and innovation...
4. Strict controls disempower the teachers...
Wouldn't tenure mean there are no strict controls over teachers? Wouldn't it mean they can use their best judgement in teaching rather than worry about being fired for not following the strict controls?
Isn't that the point of tenure in higher education? You have more freedom to be creative because you don't have to worry about being fired?
I completely disagree with this. It is way more important to break stuff up first, that way when you get to the quick and simple method, you know what is going on underneath. I have a 2nd grader who's been doing common core now for a couple years and I'm seeing this stuff every day.
First, they are showing how these numbers break down. They are getting these minds to break things apart into their parts. They can see what makes up these numbers. They are showing them the tricks you can do to shift numbers around, and pull things apart. They are getting their minds a deeper view of numbers.
They did the same thing with language. They treated spelling a lot like math. Their spelling words were mostly NOT memorized. They applied rules to words. Some of these rules got complicated, but it was a formula to break words apart and apply rules. Think about it, how dumb is it to just memorize every word in English, when 80% are rule driven... just memorize the last 20%. Their spelling tests had a section on the 20% that could only be memorized.
I'm surprised every day that slashdotters don't praise common core. I'm guessing it is because they see a single example and aren't seeing the big picture that us parents see. They are driving these little minds to logic!
1) Very consistent off site backups for data
2) Full inventory of items you own
3) If theft occurs, use home owners insurance to get your money back. You'll probably end up with a free hardware upgrade in the process.
What is better?
a) 100% chance of giving up your time and money now securing your items.
vs.
b) (very low)% chance of having to give up time if a theft does occur
The cost of securing your items may balance out any deductibles you have to pay to have home owners insurance cover the lost items.
Your post is the first time I've ever heard the term bandwidth referring to a unit of time as long as a month. Almost always, bandwidth is described with the time unit of "second" when talking internet connection rates.
Also, almost always, transfer caps use the time unit of month.
The poster you replied to knows this. What would a lifetime cap of 300 GB even mean? They cancel your account after 300 GB?
We need to think harder than this here. Is the new method better or worse than the old method? Well, you can't just look at a single case with the new method and throw that system away.
We need to compare the drawbacks of the push-button system with that of the mechanical system. We know of a huge number of issues caused by GM's big problem at least. I'm sure there are others.
good luck getting it programmed as they won't likely carry the numerous systems required to program each and every model by all the different manufacturers.
That is not how "programming of the keys" work at all. Once you get the key, it is a matter of getting the vehicle to accept it. You don't actually program the key. And with my vehicle (and it seems most others), all you need is the car itself to do it. Someone please double check me...

We do use over the air still at our house for a few shows. As my sibling stated, the quality of the HD stream is superior to most other HD streams because there is much less compression than the cable companies/dish companies provide. So it has better quality and it is free, so we can't complain.
We do internet stream/download/netflix cd most of our consumed content though, since each of those methods have their obvious benefits as well.
So what if we allowed zero H-1Bs? Wouldn't wages for these positions go up, which would attract more people to the fields requiring workers. If they need workers so bad, why isn't anyone willing to pay increased wages for it? (tongue firmly planted in cheek)
By the way, this is coming from someone who recently helped hire a great programmer and wonderful person from India on this very type of visa.
I would take this one slight step further. Having children is the next step that further deepens your perspectives. With children, you are not only thinking of your own generation, but those of the future. And, for me at least, the relationship is different enough than the relationship with my wife to give me quite a lot of introspective. This greatly affects anything I do today.
I must be misunderstanding, but this news isn't exciting. We don't want bacteria to be resistant to antibiotics anywhere in any species. Exciting from a research discovery perspective is fine, but can someone explain what I'm missing from a "this is good news" perspective?
So far my Brother color laser printer has been great. I've had it for a few years now. I do use it lightly though compared to what the OP is looking for. But it is ALWAYS ready to go when I am ready to print. I love it. It is a networked printer printing from multiple Macs.

That is truly amazing.

I'm betting it had more than one vulnerability...

You lost the thread man.
We're here to discuss, not win or lose. It was an interesting read for someone who knows very little about init processes!

And here is a trick for this... Always write down passwords like this:
amazon:
correcthorseXXXstaple
slashdot:
flapXXXcheeseapple
Where the XXX is a common set of characters that exist in all of your passwords, but is very easy to keep in your head.
In our case XXX = LEEP
So the actual passwords are:
amazon:
correcthorseLEEPstaple
slashdot:
flapLEEPcheeseapple
People who gain access to your physical list will most likely never know to even try different "hidden" characters.

When was the last time you checked, 1970? : )
