Don't use the included headphones for an iPod ever unless you like horrible sound. Honestly, 99% of people cannot tell the difference between different players with consumer-level headphones, as the biggest drop in quality is between the headphone jack and your ears.
C++ and Perl aren't "expressive". They just have disgusting syntax that makes people who live on pure sense of superiority(which is more dangerous than any other force in human history, by the way) feel good while doing their expensive mental masturbation. Python(with C bindings for all the lower-level stuff) makes C++ look like the retarded stepchild of Paris Hilton, and Ruby pretty much aces Perl in any department except inertia.
But you're talking about attempting to use computers to replace scrap paper, not to use it to replace the papers you turn in. I'm sure you used TeX to write up all your major papers.
Yeah, because programming was so much more structured back when you had to use punch cards which required you to throw out the card if you made a typo!
Actually, what happened was that the judge was about to hammer down on Microsoft, but the administration changed. And as part of the political maneuverings of the new Administration the judges working on the case were flipped around.
But even then, we're just barely over the replacement rate. Another interesting fact is that in a generation or two China and India will have a huge birthrate drop because the people in those two nations don't want female babies and are aborting them as soon as they learn the gender.
I come from the generation who can actually do math without
a calculator. We used slide rules and log tables. We could
interpolate. You could never get more than 3 or 4 digit accuracy when it's needed.
I must be a deviant or something because I usually read the instructions. Actually, I read the manual for my parents' car long before I would be able to drive.
No one seems to care when a couple innocent Israelis die by a person blowing themselves up yet the scream bloody murder when the Israelis respond to it You mean the Israelis who have killed an order of magnitude more Palestinians than the other way around? That being said, now that Hamas has been kicked out of the Palestinian government and the Likud is declining in Israel we might be able to get some more strides toward peace soon.
Why not actually read the Slashdot comments? Zonk just posted a bad article again, and the only people who care about bad articles are the ones who complain about bad articles in the comments. Everyone else uses the articles as they are--launchpads for discussion. But then you'd realize that Slashdotters actually have their own opinions, unlike you trolling fucks.
Nope. GPL only comes into play when you modify and distribute, with the exception of the "NO WARRANTY" clause which is also in every other license worth the name FOSS, including the BSD.
The biggest problem with technology in schools is that most of the teachers don't really know how to use it yet. (The second biggest problem is that the systems are getting more complex and with complexity comes flaws, but that's a different issue and time will probably solve it too)
Funnily, one of the biggest spies in recent years was a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, extreme member of the Catholic Church(Opus Dei wasn't invented by Dan Brown, despite the fictional nature of the rest of the book), and among the most fervent anti-communists in the FBI.
What's funny is that the closest the US government ever got to imitating Stalin is when they were most worried about Communism. (I agree that getting blacklisted is better than being sent to the Gulags but that's like saying getting killed by the guillotine is better than getting killed by an axe)
There are stupid Americans(you seriously need to find a better term than "Yank" though, considering that it's pretty much equivalent to me calling anybody from the British Isles "English") on Slashdot, and quite a few of them are on my foe list so I can see them and know that a nutcase is ahead.

Go learn what a scientific theory is and then we can talk.

Did you even read his post? Another charter school in the very same area succeeded.

I thought that both HDDVD and Blu-Ray were pretty much stillborn and that everybody--even people with HDTV--is still using DVD.

A classmate on mine in response to being forced to take English classes: "I'm already fluent in English! Why do I need to take English class?"
Miguel de Icaza doesn't hate Microsoft.
Yeah, it's like a game of Mafia.

It's pretty much destroying almost every single legacy UNIX system, so yeah, I'd say it's taking off.

I've had a biology teacher that did that--but that's biology, which isn't really science anyways.
