Well I patent the patenting of general ideas. Now, everyone who patents ideas must pay me a royalty. Make the check payable to xxxxxxxxx thanks
I already have a patent on non-cash payment transactions. Using checks will cost you.
And I have a patent on government granted licences that only allow a single entity to sell a particular technology. You will pay me a modest license fee every time you enforce your patent.
"Paradoxically, Star Trek got it completely wrong - when Captain Kirk says "Beam me up, Scotty", "Scotty, beam me up" would be much better because it can route it straight through to Scotty, rather than wait until the end of the sentence before it knows who to send the voice to."
This has worked very well for me, excepting that I can't get the latest version of F-Prot antivirus to install automatically. I suspect F-Prot has deliberately broken this feature.
High schools (and schools in general) do need an update. For an illustration, I will provide this advertisement:
Simon's Rock College of Bard exclusively admits younger students who have not completed their high school education. Many alumni go on to become scientists, activists, etc. Ever heard of MoveOn.org PAC? It was started by a Simon's Rock student. I personally have had great success at Simon's Rock. I have avoided wasting two years in a high school that did not offer advanced classes. Generally, I would describe Simon's Rock as a top quality liberal arts college. It is true, though, that early college is not for everyone.
The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has funded a program at Simon's Rock to teach teachers who will later work in new early college programs the foundation is setting up.
If you think about it, there are many features of our education system that date back to Plato, at least. I do not claim to know how to perfect education, but I do claim that it is time to try some changes.
Off topic: Usually pronouns that are not at the beginning of sentences are only capitalized when they refer to deities. And yes, I love Linux and hate Microsoft software.
More info please. If China is really on the edge of civil war, the American propaganda machine would not let the Chinese propaganda machine keep it a secret.
For an immediate hubble replacement, the moon is not a better option. Until the moon has facilities to manufacture big mirrors, reliable computers, and delicate cameras, it is easier to launch a telescope from earth into a low orbit. Probably an entire university on the moon would be needed to provide training for the astronauts who would do the repairs. Only so much can be explained over radio. Particularly with a 3 second latency enforced by the speed of light. But in the long run, I agree that the moon is a good place to do astronomy.
Parent 95 and Parent 98 crash all the time because they drink too much. Parent ME is terrible in every way. Parent NT is always in the hospital with the flu. Parent XP is somewhat better, but still has viruses and crashes. Parent Vista will never be released and has even worse DRM. Also, it constantly annoys people with safety warnings. MacParent Pro is too expensive. It wants to eat caviar and drive a Porsche. MacParent Mini looks stupid - I'm taller than it is!
So, when does OpenParent come out? I want a parent I can modify to say "Hi honey, where are you? In a bar? Great! Don't forget to pick up some X on the way home. Bye." when it calls me on my nefarious cell phone.
Goodlad's suggestions are much more varried and complex than "streaming is bad." And for the most part he backs up his recommendations with data. Something educators almost never do. I can see you are a concerned teacher; you should read the book. Many of Goodlad's ideas would require somewhat impractical infrastructure changes, but there may be some things you could find interesting. He talks a lot about using higher performing students to help the lower performing students improve. He definitely does not advocate teaching to the lowest common denominator.
I, personally, was always bored in "high level" classes in middle and high school. I found the other students in those classes were usually more wealthy than motivated, and tried to hide what intelligence they had. I skipped two years of high school and went on to Simon's Rock College where I've found everyone is a good student, and there is no need to divide people up. Your milage may vary, but I've found that the quality of education is more about the culture and environment in which education takes place than about "Intelligence," which was used to stream or track me.
The research I've seen suggests that streaming is generally bad for students who perform poorly and not helpful for students who perform well. I highly recommend the Goodlad book A Place Called School because it has lots of interesting data and speculation. If only all educators had Goodlad's creativity and willingness to experiment...
The article says nothing about retiring - it is about teachers who work several jobs just to make enough to live off of. These people cannot afford to retire at all. That's why I tagged the summary flamebate.
I think this article is crap because it does not address that question. Who wants a cap that can store a lot of energy if the voltage decays from 120 volts to 3 before all the power is used? Capacitors are great for filters, but they will never replace laptop batteries.
'the people' in the Declaration of Independence originally meant white male land owners. The morality of the 1770's wasn't so great either. The people who wrote the Declaration were part of that elite - and they were mostly interested in protecting their buisnesses from taxes.
"Amateur Junk?" I've found amateur work to be very good at times. And if studios were not making television shows, amateurs would be more motivated because more people would watch their work. And it would not be so bad if people stopped watching videos, would it? Maybe they would do more work, or be more involved in their communities.
Slashdot Mirror
Some women are attracted to effeminate men.
Example
Assume: If I read Slashdot, I am male.
Contrapositive: If I am not male, I do not read Slashdot. This is true.
Converse: If I am male, I read Slashdot. This is false.

Kirk never said that.
We haven't seen this, but I've never had a IM related support request, so that does not mean anything.
Have you tried removing MSN? It is a security risk its self.
"income from patents are going to match or exceed income for even the mediocre professors"
Yes, but the patents are usually held by the university, not the professor.

It works for me, but that might be Opera caching. I imagine they're trying to stop hotlinkers.
Maybe not such a great idea for this picture of Bill Gates which was in some magazine a long time ago... I forget which.
Amnesty International numbers for 2005, by the way.
Reminds me of the list of countries that execute the most people:
1770+ China
94+ Iran
86+ Saudi Arabia
60 USA

6) Get better parents.
Parent 95 and Parent 98 crash all the time because they drink too much. Parent ME is terrible in every way. Parent NT is always in the hospital with the flu. Parent XP is somewhat better, but still has viruses and crashes. Parent Vista will never be released and has even worse DRM. Also, it constantly annoys people with safety warnings. MacParent Pro is too expensive. It wants to eat caviar and drive a Porsche. MacParent Mini looks stupid - I'm taller than it is!
So, when does OpenParent come out? I want a parent I can modify to say "Hi honey, where are you? In a bar? Great! Don't forget to pick up some X on the way home. Bye." when it calls me on my nefarious cell phone.

Read the book. It's science. It has a lot more to say than I can fit into one of these comments.
The research I've seen suggests that streaming is generally bad for students who perform poorly and not helpful for students who perform well. I highly recommend the Goodlad book A Place Called School because it has lots of interesting data and speculation. If only all educators had Goodlad's creativity and willingness to experiment...
And now I've fixed the spelling in my tag.

You can integrate most anything into a Windows installer with The Unattended Windows Tutorial.
