I truly believe that about a year ago, something changed. I can't put my finger on it, but there has to be an internal memo somewhere that specified putting-the-brakes on edits. A year ago you could put your rock-band on wikipedia, but now you can't.
Q: Where can I download all of wikipedia?
Yes, remain under the license-of-the-day, but perhaps I want to filter it a bit for my kids.
Where is the wikipedia.zip file?
they will always win, they have unlimited money. You have to fight legally and technically, mainly legally. I too am guilty of thinking, "well I can beat that with this technology and that scheme, but I know in my heart it is temporary only". So, write a letter to someone/anyone and bitch, and I will do the same....
I tried to get our speed limit site called Wikispeedia under the wikimedia umbrella, sort of a way to introduce our open-government stuff.
They said I need to join OSM which is a possibility.
Out of spike, I put our speed limits in the Firefox side-wiki since they wouldn't let me put any edits on their speed limit page..
What I really detest is their SF stance on porn. Thats what will kill them, once the high schools wise up to this hole in their knowledge dyke!
I don't know about you, but I am kind-a luke warm on the name ubuntu.
Perhaps they should upgrade it for a nice year like 2010.
How about "extinct woodpecker in Arkansas"....
Just sayin...

Many things in education just won't happen, so I don't fight that. If you are a parent fighting for education, you will give up once your kids leave. Its the half-life of the eduma-fight, about 10 years....
I taught for a year. That drawing is correct down to the name on the door in Memphis TN, The office reads "Certificated teachers".
Heres my solution and a little background. In Scuba their is NAUI and PADDI. In politics their is Red/Blue. In testing their is the SAT / ACT.
In teacher certification their needs competition, lets call them Scert [state] and Pcert [parent]. I just made that name up, Parent certification is my name.
Competition in certification would bring this lopsided system back in check.
I cant click on the links because my company block tpb.
Can someone repost the article on csmonitor or somewhere, pretty please.....
Give me more cow bell
One answer. Waiting List. Your students [and teachers] are only as good as the waiting list.
Item 2: Certification is over-rated, its just a way for U of [fill in the blank] to make money. If you can't read, you should sue the University that forced the certification, [but don't get me started on that].
BTW. years ago I tried to raise money to build what I called a datadesk. [I did teach] Its a way to make an uncheatable hard test that is easy to grade. Take a look, I uploaded a crude example I just conjured up....
Datadesk
Agreed. I tell my 12 year old to question all news, and more importantly, to realize that "to yell is to sell", [fear that is]. I turned my TV off after the Nov election. I watch movies and foxnews.com. The only reason I choose Fox is because I don't like the lock CNN has in the airports. I travel every week and it isn't fair that I am forced to watch CNN. Hey slashdot, someone write a map app showing "quiet" spots in airports. Thats where I sit.

I designed an Android App. I am pretty sure you can run the GPS with the SIM card out, or w/o a voiceplan. Thats what I want also... Then I will run VoIP and never need a voiceplan. Thats the future and the carriers hate it.
The day will come when you say, "hmmm, wonder if my phone will do that", [aka maps], probably while in line at BestBuy buying a TomTom.
You are correct, the Android must be cheap, but also, I think they should come bundled with a dashboard-mount. I hate determining which "mount" to buy..
There needs to be a 5 year "promise" of service by Amazon. I for one wouldn't move my junk to them without a 5 year "community pledge" or something. When a big company starts providing everything, it scares me. The only way I would sleep at night using them is if/when my servers were burning up.

No citizen is going to like a missed laser beam blowing up their house.

Do you think the nhtsa is afraid of Wikispeedia ?
Doubtful, they will ultimately compete and win...
We need a new Internet. Any ideas?
