Thats one of the main reasons the IB is taking hold in the UK. IB Higher Math, as well as IB Further Math blow away A-Level Math and Further Math. With the majority of the IB classes based in proof, Students are trained much more to think outside of the classic problems, and apply what they have learned, rather than simply regurgitate.
I am really getting sick of the whole "Google censoring in China." It is blown out of proportion. The main intention was to create a more functional product for end users. Google.com is still available in China if people want to use a non-Google-censored version of Google. Instead, the Great Firewall of China censors the results, leaving the end user with a slow and unreliable connection. By providing google.cn, they can limit the effect of this censorship and at least provide a portion of the speedy google search engine we all love. Evil? Not at all. Just making the best out of an already difficult situation.
if you SEARCH around... there are a TORRENT of good sources. OREILLY'S generally produce good books.
note.... Those three words are in caps for a reason....
I've always had an issue with the cauterizing of wounds by lightsaber. In Episode IV Obi-Wan lops off someones arm in the cantina and its definately not cauterized....
Wouldn't the habit of learning from games be a bit dangerous? I could see that "learn not to leave your baby alone" turn into "you can get your money back if you kill the hooker after you are done with her"... yes both are technically true, and are perhaps equally useful in life, but is it a good idea to have kids start a habit such as applying video game experiences in a real world setting?
Have you ever tried to write up a lab report using OpenOffice? Excel is (sadly) so much easier to use in this task than oocalc2. The simple task of finding the equation of a best fit line isn't built into the chart system.
Boycotting those sweatshops doesn't keep them from happening... It just means that each kid gets paid less, or less kids get paid. Yeah it's cruel, but whats the realistic alternative between unemployment and a sweatshop? Not even Google could invoke a revolution in which the minimum wage in these countries would rise 6 dollars to $6.01 an hour.
They've shown it in the past. Just as a good way to get Google to refuse to talk to you for "a year" is to publish unauthorized articles a good way to get banned from their search is to abuse the system.
We need to realize that the market stabalizes itself. As crappier music is released, society as a whole gets dumber and learns to enjoy crappy music. Thus, the great circle of crap continues...
and a laptop??? As far as I know, Laptops don't come BYO quite yet... I may be wrong, and if I am, please let me know. (I'd be very interested in building a laptop for university next year)
Assuming that you just don't build laptops, whats the best approach? How do you avoid Bob in Bombay while still getting a decent laptop?
2004 was the year of many very entertaining movies. I remember seeing 10 movies in about a month time period (and I'm usually not a very big movie watcher) That was the summer that Spiderman 2, Dodgeball, Napoleon Dynamite, Bourne Supremacy, The Village, King Arthur, Anchorman, and many other movies came out. This last summer didnt even come close as far as quality. Id say that 2004 was an awesome year for movies and 2005 was just average...
So does this mean that some of the flamebait that appears on slashdot can have legal consequences?
Slashdot has a policy of not filtering its comments, they leave it up to the moderators to sort it out. But even though most off-color/hate comments are modded down, they still appear if you browse at -1. Any thoughts?
Google never had to strike any deals to make their service available in China. They normal Google.com was and still is available to the public. The Great Firewall of China was doing the censoring, completely transparent, and slow as can be. It often returned a page not found when it would censor, resulting in a population thinking that Google.com is slow and rarely works. Google.cn is google trying to provide the best service possible to the people of china. Google isn't depriving them of anything, they are only providing a way for them to search nonsensitive topics effectively, bypassing the ridiculously slow chinese censors. I wish people would stop assuming that the deal was "you can come to china only if you censor your search results." Google was already in china and was unaware they were being censored from within the Internet backbone of China. Google.cn is to make the best of an inevitably bad situation. So Google isnt rubbing elbows with Chinese officials for business reasons, and i doubt it has any plans to do so.
I think the key word here is transparent. I don't know how often I have cleared out my.wine folder in order to try to install Windows software on a "fresh" wine installation. By making it seamless, I get the feeling that they are going to do a bit more than use normal wine libraries. This would mean no more using 12 different wineconfig utilities in order to get one measly program up and running. It would also allow for each program to be configured and use its own standard sets of libraries, which would be maintained and updated by google, rather than requiring the user to scour the net. I think this is a great idea, and hope that it will pave the way for other software to incorporate their own preconfigured wine libraries into a seamless software install.
Just a quick question though. I use Google Chat (Google Talk within the Gmail Ajax interface) at school without problem on Windows boxes (With Firefox). At home it does not work under Linux (with Firefox again). Has anyone else gotten it to work under linux? and would it be possible for my browser to spoof my operating system in order to let me use it under linux anyway? I am under the impression that Ajax is not in any way platform specific.
Has disney really lost the magic? or has our definition of "the magic" changed?
This thought process is especiially interesting to me, as an 18 year old, because I really can't tell if disney movies just aren't as good as they used to be, or whether I have just grown out of them. Yes, I compare the classics with the new movies and even now I can notice that there's something missing in the newer movies, but that may be subject entirely to nostalgia.
Any thoughts?
Clock speed improvements are at a standstill. People aren't going to understand what a new processor is capable of because they will see it has the same clockspeed as an older POS. By not marketing the clockspeed, they bypass the embarrassment of the overall CPU industry in failing to speed these processors up.
All I know is that I've seen European efficiency and i would not be surprised if a project like this took 50 years to complete. (No I didnt RTFA...So don't correct me with the expected date... It will take 50 years regardless of the estimate already made) By that time even this accurate technology will be a day late and a dollar short.

Sounds more like someone was messing around withGoogle Sets
So this is basically similar to RAID, but for processors, with RAID 0 and RAID 1 being the proposed options?
