I have Crimson Editor, and it was decent for a simple text editor. The macros can make it easy to generate and test code quickly too.
But what I really prefer to use now is this Eclipse Plugin, Colorer which does do the above mentioned highlighting for recognizing inline code. Well I haven't tried it on PHP, but it recognizes a lot of languages and syntaxes, and worked well with JSP.
If it's getting passed around the school yard, that means way too many young children are playing a game intended for people 17+ that they shouldn't have had in the first place.
I think I've gotta side with Microsoft on the case against the executive. If you sign an agreement saying you won't compete for a year after you stop working for them, and you go ahead and work for google in a field that directly competes with them, you have definitely violated the agreement.
We're talking about an executive here too, not just some regular employee. He knows many secrets about Microsoft, why should Microsoft let him get away with that?
Digital clock on laptops. I'd love to have an external LCD display showing the time, even when the machine's not on. hell, that'd even be useful on a desktop machine.
Extending the external LCD idea here, I'm thinking that we could put an extra little display in the corner of my desktop LCD monitor, possibly configured as a separate device attached via a USB cable that can be reprogrammed to display what you want. I already got speakers and a microphone jack on there, those could be replaced with a small display easily.
So when I'm playing games or working, I could still have a clock on my monitor, see the weather, etc. And it wouldn't overlap anything on the monitor.
It seems like a cool idea to me, but I'm not sure how much I'd be willing to pay for it.
There is a reason I've hated every book I read in school since grade 9. We weren't reading stories for the fun of reading them, we were reading them to explain literary concepts such as theme, imagery, etc. This is one of those situations where if you have to look, you probably shouldn't be there (reading it) in the first place.
But guess what? I like to read. If I read a book on my own, it is suited to my tastes, and I pick up on all sorts of things like imagery. English teachers definitely need to remember that as a form of art, everybody will have different tastes. That's why in art class they don't force everybody to paint the same thing.
So what's the problem? I'd say it's that English classes focus too much on novels and not enough on what is important. Rather than decipher Shakespearean plays and write essays about the use of imagery, there needs to be more focus on grammar, reports, analysis, summary writing etc.
English classes actually seem to turn people away from reading. Prevent that, and you will have more people reading.
We skip right to the higher level stuff before kids have a grasp on the basics.
This is the other issue here. Many people want to and should skip to the higher level stuff first, cause they are smart enough in the proper areas.
While others aren't ready to move on. Since rather than split up the students we keep them together, eventually a weighted average forms, which clearly has to be before some students are ready, and after others are.
One of the best "fair" solutions to this is to lower class sizes.
That's absolutely correct. In my grade 10 history and grade 11 ancient history class, they both basically started with a discussion on "why study history".
It's not like you can't answer the question in other topics too. Somebody in math asks why do we need to solve quadratics. The answer is, "this leads to other more more useful concepts." Don't try oversimplifying about how the baker want's to optimize the price of cakes relative to the amount they produce. (Maybe explain how in the coming years, you learn Calculus, which is very useful in Science/Enginerring/etc.)
In closing, all classes should be useful. Some aren't useful to certain people (I would never want to take a high school philosophy course), that's why you have a choice in senior years - it is up to the student to know what they should learn.
Well MSN search is already integrated into IE. If you just click the search button on the toolbar it will search with MSN. Been like that for a while (probably since before Google became big). Might be hard for Google to make a case on this.
I do know that you can adjust IE's search page though. Some spyware already does that.
Isn't that what math is about? The details are far less important than the ability to analyze a problem a solve it.
No, not at all. I'm currently getting a B.Math, and I know that's completely wrong. That's what applied math is about, not any sort of pure math.
You are supposed to learn advanced concepts, theorems, algorithms, and such, not putting numbers into problems.
Most of our Integrals involve a's, b's, and n's, instead of actual numbers.
In Linear Algebra, rather than row reduce matrices, we learn the algorithm, and let software work with numbers. I just wrote a midterm monday night, we were told we couldn't use calculators, since there were no numbers.

Hmm this does work pretty well. I just tried it on one of my documents, the end result was similar formatting, and relatively organized HTML.
A few things it messed up were table borders (for some reason it got rid of borders) and bullets.
Here is what a bullet's code looked like. It only displayed properly in IE (Firefox/Opera give an ugly dot)Note that the actually was a dot character,

Hmm, just reading my physics textbook a few hours ago about this topic, so I can clarify the obvious mistakes.
AC's have a Coefficient of Performance (COP) around 4-5 (or 400%-500%)
This is similar to effiency, but obviously not the same.
COP of a cooling device is measured as:
(Energy Removed from Cold Reservoir) / (Work Done on the device)
AC's don't cool, they just move the heat, and moving the heat doesn't require a lot more energy.
If this new device has higher efficience, it will have a similarily higher COP.

Now suing Google, that's ridiculous of course.
