  10. I have a little list... *hums* on Statue of Galileo Planned for Vatican · · Score: 1

    I only foe folks so I don't have to see their posts (reserved for troll and flame types).

    I trim my foes list down every January, as part of my annual renewal of hope in the human animal. I remove anyone from my list anyone who hasn't posted in a few months, or those whose posts seem to be getting + rather than - mods lately.

    It works to keep my foes list from spiraling out of control.

    Oddly enough, someone I removed from my foes list emailed me and asked to have himself added back.

    If Slashdot continues the drift towards video submissions, well, then I will probably get all my geek interaction from Youtube. Your choice, Taco. Will I dream?

    This is a text-based site for good, historical reasons. You want more videos? Put 'em in a link at the bottom as an option.

    I've contributed time and money to microloans (set up small businesses), AIDS prevention and care, clean water initiatives (dig wells, set up distribution systems, monitor contaminant levels), Doctors Without Borders, malaria extermination, blindness prevention (there are some common ways to become blind in underdeveloped countries).

    They need all of the above, and a way for the able to advance, just as a blind man needs to learn Braille...

    >This may sound a bit condescending, but I think they need to learn other things first, like sex education and agriculture.

    Fixed.

    Why not teach the students who already have some infrastructure, how to develop more. It would perhaps be possible to have some sort of low-cost, sturdy computing device, introduced into the educational system, to assist in this effort.
