That's easier said than done. Telling a child "you'll need this if you grow up to be a physicist or an accountant" will just get you "BUT IM GOING TO BE A BASKETBALL PLAYER IN THE NBA."
Accountability should be held on the parents, they should force their children to learn for their own good. Blame decreasing accountability on parents for decreasing academic excellence, don't blame the teachers. While there are a few bad teachers, there are a lot more good teachers.
Just look at the performance of the average student in math without a calculator. People just don't know how to do the math, and don't feel the need anymore.
Computers have become a crutch and a hindrance rather than a tool. Pretty sad.
Every few months or so, new smaller stuff always comes out. I never see much that takes advantage of the stuff, though. That's unfortunate. Maybe it's just used in non-popular, expensive products for big corporations.
I guess this kind of stuff won't matter to the average user for another 10 years, if ever.
Kind of a broad term. Don't most colleges already have courses similar to this? I know my college had something that could fit into that term. Anyone else seen "cyber security classes" at their college?
Plus with all the modifications they did for Firefox, such as Download History Cleared, Browser History Disabled, Form Info Saving Disabled, No Disk Cache, and No permanent cookies... it won't take up a very large footprint. Mind you, Firefox installed only takes up a meager 8.6Mb.
Thunderbird on the other hand compresses EXEs and DLLs with UPX. They also recompressed the JAR files (which are ZIP files).
This law just prevents the government from giving out free access to the internet. It's a real killer to the socialists out there that want the government to supply everything, but oh well... I guess you'll have to go support the economy and purchase your access.
You're right. Which is why joining the military is a good start to your occupation. It looks great on resumes, and you get lots of training. Not to mention, they pay for college.
Most people that enter the military make much more than the average person, when they leave and enter the private sector.
You can't save your status while playing a demo. So, why would a Demo Disc even affect the Memory Card? I wonder if this is a glitch or a disgruntled employee... this isn't made at EA, is it?
Both Windows and Linux are covered, true, but that's not a very broad slice: Solaris, HPUX, BSD, Tru64 and OS X barely get a mention.
There's no point in wasting time developing worms for Solaris, HPUX, Tru64, etc. The work to reward ratio is too low. Not to say writing a worm, etc. is rewarding, but that's like developing anthrax that only kills people with webbed feet.
Now that Sims 2 is here with its video-recording feature (and the promise of more contemporary realism in the expansion packs)
As if the millions of "cartoonists" taking screen shots of video games and adding moronic thought bubbles wasn't enough of a waste of bandwidth... Now we get to have millions of retards creating movies. *sigh*
Atleast out of the 1,030,205 dopes, we'll probably get a few, clever gems.
The idea of decentralizing CVS is, indeed, a humongous deal. While, David's Advanced Revision Control System sound quite silly... it's a really great alternative. I'd like to see it implemented everywhere, although CVS is still better in some instances.
The more press the better. Maybe even more organizations and companies will switch over now... surely it seems like this will sway a lot of people, now that it's getting such veneration.
Hopefully, it will air in the states, too. I would definitely watch it.
Madden 2005 is a lot more complex than someone would presume. Different formations, substitutions, etc. can help you. There is a lot of strategy involved.
With online competition, this is even more helpful.
What if the company you worked at had to face free, government-supplied competition? It'd be devastated. Tons of verizon employees would be out of jobs, and the economy would be hurt. Not to mention, what about the tax-payers that have to fund this?
The country revolves around capitalism, not socialism. If you want a strong economy, you can't have the government supplying everything. Take your choice.
Any group or organization can still offer free wireless throughout cities or areas. That's not banned. The only thing banned is the government doing it.
But, yes. I always use GameFAQs when I need something quick and dirty, but the actual print strategy guide for Madden 2005 is much better than anything on there. GameFAQs doesn't always cut it.
IBM isn't supporting Linux out of the goodness of their heart. They're supporting it for financial gain; they know people like you will love them and buy their products if they support Linux.
But, anyway, I doubt IBM is sponsoring this bill, and if they were they still wouldn't care what Linus Torvalds has to say. Especially if what he suggests costs them money. What is all comes down to is how much money will this make them.

The point was to prove Russians are better than us? Interesting professor.

I got it from ThinkGeek... it was reasonably priced (Only $25). It's very well designed, and it's pretty compact.
While it wasn't the #1 in the comparison, i'd recommend it to anyone.
But, no reason for them to stop if they can get away with it and make money off of it.
Write your congressman and plead for reform.

But a great tool, nonetheless. Especially with the low prices and great capabilities of the gamecube.
I'm looking forward to getting the chip for myself. The old method was annoying, and lacked the potential this has.
Ha! I can calculate that in a mere 3.14 seconds, infidel!
No, you are.

Personally, I support the bill.
Sarcasm, buddy. Sarcasm.

That the Grand Theft Auto Guide is getting it's due. I don't know what I would've done without it.

The big business that sponsored this does not care whatsoever what Linus Torvalds has to say.
That 00.1% is within the margin of error.
