The biggest problem is getting them out when you need to. Eviction is an ugly messy business. Imagine trying to evict someone that needs to be evicted in a town where 100% of the residence were living there for free. You would likely end up with open revolt.
If they did put homeless in it, hiring a bunch of instructors (not necessarily "teachers") to do training in the town would make the whole exercise more useful by making it a giant on the job retraining program. Given your suggestion involves a lack of desire to earn a profit on the human residence, the loss in productivity, wouldn't be such a big deal. No doubt there are plenty of out of work, if not homeless people that are skilled in virtually every trade that a city needs to act as the instructors for those being retrained.
I don't think it would work having people at all, but by making it a "training program", you would mitigate some of the public outcry when it came time to evict people.
Since 98% of the devices that are called "Tablets" work with physical keyboards, I would say you are wrong. Having or not having a keyboard does not define a tablet. The ability to work without one is what defines a tablet. Android and iPads do not *REQUIRE* that you work without a keyboard. It is just the choice of 98% of the users. Any user that wants to use a physical keyboard can. Pairng an Android tablet or iPad to a bluetooth keyboard does not magically transform it into a non-tablet anymore than setting a laptop on your desk makes it a desktop.
Basically you were called out on being aggressively ignorant, and now you are trying to redefine a category of device so that you can maintain your dignity.
I would say that Slashdot has a much higher rate of discussion on the only real solution. Population control. Everywhere else I hear the discussion of global ecology, the discussions are 100% of the time about how to put off our over population problem for a few more years. I know that population control is an ugly subject. It is ugly even if your answer is to not do control, but it is unfortunately THE answer and THE subject that 'environmentalists' don't want to talk about.
I haven't kept up on the SAT since I was out of school, but when I was in High School in 1989, the SATs were adjusted to change the final scores. Since the standard tests don't stay the same, they don't measure anything over time.
That reminds me of a lady I was talking to about a year ago. She was assuring me that the school her child was going to was a good school. She explained how at the last school her son went to he was getting C's and D's, but the new school was better. At the new school her son was getting A's!
Using grades to determine how much a student is learning is also ridiculous. If a school decided it is policy to just give every student an A, that doesn't mean the school is teaching better. Grade inflation is a real problem. We have a lot of kids now getting 5.0 on a scale of 0.0 to 4.0. Our schools are broken. They are broken on every level. From the parents, to the teachers, to the administrators, and every level all the way up to the President of the country. Computers in the classroom won't fix them.
I have a ViewSonic gTablet. It doesn't have a GPS or rear facing camera. I only miss the camera periodically when I want to scan a QR code or use it with Google Sky Map. That isn't too often. I DO miss not having a GPS on it. When doing a road trip, having a nice 10" GPS be a whole lot better than trying to use a 4" phone.
I am starting to see 7" tablets in restaurants. 10" tablets are too big for the waitresses to put in their apron pockets, phones are too small for them to effectively work with.
I did a 6 week road trip last summer, I didn't take the time off work. I sat in the back of the rented minivan working while my wife drove. Except for the national parks and Wyoming, I had a good 3G signal on my Nexus One almost the entire way. It really was amazing just how good the cell coverage was.
That was a total non-sequitur. What does this Spencer guy have to do with the fact that BOTH "AGW deniers" and "AGW doomsayers" have a non-null set intersection with creationists? That's right. None. Mangu told a half truth, which is a whole lie. His goal was to convince people that there was a stronger connection between two groups that just doesn't exists. You are trying to support his half truth (whole lie) by stating a fact (that I cannot support or deny, as I don't know this Spenser guy) that has nothing to do with Mangu's statement. That makes your statement also a half truth, and thus whole lie. And no, making a statement in the form of a question does not change the fact that it was a lie.
My experiences have generally been as an onlooker as well. Not once has 911 known my location. How many times does one need to call 911 and not have them know where you are for one to recognize that they do not use cellular tracking for that purpose?
I don't study whales professionally, but I would wager that whales shit where they eat. It is only their low numbers that make them look like they are not fouling their living space.
It could be worse, you could call any public facing call center where you will find that every single person is an (account) Manager. They are also all (account) Supervisors. In fact, they are (account) {Anything that might be used to describe a someone with the authority or knowledge to solve the problem}.
The OP *IS* seeing the "demonization" of teachers. The problem is that the OP thinks that any criticism at all of teachers is "demonizing". We have a large contingent of people in this country that see teachers as a sacred cow. Any criticism at all is considered "demonizing", and lies.
If you and the employee are in security and our job is to identify and remove people who are embezzling, and you witnessed your co-working embezzling, then YES you should be held liable also. At that point you are an accomplice to the crime. Just as police that turn a blind eye to other police committing crimes are accomplices.
Yeah, it is $25, but that is cheaper than a lot of the other suggestions here. If money isn't a huge issue, get 4 of them and let the kids play with them. Programming them is basically the same as Logo Basic, but instead of putting lines on the screen, the tank actually moves around the room. Great fun, and teaches the basic concepts of programming.
Well, they claimed that the tracking was "for emergency use", but the few times I've had to call 911 from my cell phone, the 911 call center had no idea where I was.

Eat it, and you might start bleeding from something.

and you witnessed your co-working embezzling
. Try again.
Spencer is irrelevant to the point. The fact that you are claiming he is shows by example that the lies are NOT solidly in the other camp.
T-Mobile does not have terrible cellular. That is a myth that anyone on T-Mobile can verify.

Except for the national parks and Wyoming, I had a good 3G signal on my Nexus One almost the entire way. It really was amazing just how good the cell coverage was.
What hurt them the most was the announcement that AT&T was going to acquire them.

No more interesting than to note that the intersection of the sets of AGW doomsayers and creationists is not a null set.
The point of the article is that visas are not the solution. That they just make the problem worse.

The best robot to bring in is a Bigtrak. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/science/de2e/
It is programmable on the spot, and it isn't as fragile as something like a lego robot. At $25 it is also cheaper than most other robots as well.
This could be done more effectively with a Bigtrak. Remember those programmable tanks from the early 80s? You can get a mini version from Think Geek.
