For many children, success in school depend on 1-on-1 help with homework. In many households, parents are not able to provide that help due to work schedule or their own lack of education. Depending on homework seems to disproportionally affect children living in poor, uneducated households. Those children grow up less educated and end up with a lower paying job, so when they have children of their own, the cycle continues.
A great example of this is the very debate over "the core curriculum". The debate's loudest voices are from parents that just don't understand what the new methods are trying to accomplish. The parents all agree their child should be taught math, so the debate should be between educators on *how* to do it. I guarantee you that there would be next to no debate if parents were not asked to help with homework. If we limit what we teach to what all parents understand, then we're done. Turn the lights off and crawl back into our caves.
Google Wallet still has limited usefulness. NFC payments are still only supported on a tiny fraction of Android users, using a custom build of the wallet app not available in the Google play store. Only some phone distributors are given access to this custom build. My phone has android 4.4, NFC support, and Google wallet installed, but I can't do NFC payments. How do they expect to compete like that?
Canceled Comcast internet and got a letter in the mail a few weeks later saying they were withholding my prorated refund check until I returned their modem. I have never own one of their modems and have never been billed for one of their modems. That took 2 hours on the phone to get straight.
"Proper" sounds dogmatic to me. If you want to focus purely on health, there are tons of studies out how a vegetarian diet is better for you. I take it you don't like green beans? This article from the other day seems relevant, http://science.slashdot.org/st...
Vegetarian sister lost tons of weight because they couldn't just give her a damn apple. She had to find other inmates willing to trade their portion of veggies for her meat.
There are tons of reports (just google them) of the server side cpu load being minimal to encrypt traffic. My guess is either the load balancing setup they have doesn't support SSL or their 3rd party ad network doesn't.
In general, I think sites don't support https because of a) the extra cost of a cert, b) they don't care, c) the extra cost of a dedicated IP (SNI isn't supported on IE on XP). You can say "screw XP" all you want, but a good 20% still (of at least my traffic) comes from IE on XP.
I'm not sure what you're saying. I should use a device that uses the x86 ISA instead of ARM if I want a standard ISA?
If you've come across a low cost, low watt/volt, quite, passively cooled x86 solution, I'd love to hear above it. All that I've seen are close to $200 and don't offer much more performance than the $35 rpi.
Have 5 of them. 1 used for offsite backup to a usb drive, 1 to display server stats, others used for xmbc.
I'd like to see a faster cpu, the loading times in xbmc on the rpi are annoying.
All ARMs seem to be so different. I want distros to be able to release an ARM version that just works on all ARM devices. It seems like all ARM devices need custom builds. The smaller guys suffer for this. I want a cubox, but it seems like only software made by them works on it.
It's stable and ready for every day use, as long as you don't need page breaks. I have a 3 page odt containing page breaks and WebODF just throws all of the text and images at the bottom of the first page.
How is this ready for every day use without supporting something as basic as page breaks? Page breaks go back to Word 1.beforeiwasborn
I understand why this works and I understand the need to sanitize user input, but this is dumb. Even if there are workarounds. It's obvious what the intent of "tar cf archive.tar *" is suppose to be, it shouldn't be treating file names as additional arguments. Anyone actively using this "feature" for anything legitimate is dumb too.
This seems very similar to the whole "we need some other language than C" argument. Sure, you *can* make secure code with zero overflow vulnerabilities, but damn near all software has them. You can only blame the user/coder for so long for doing something "wrong", but when 90%+ people are doing it "wrong" then you probably need to change how the thing works.
Universities feel the need to teach you much more than is required for your field (to be well rounded). I suppose I was saying many more classes depended on calc than stat, so calc in highschool would have helped more.
Several discrete math classes came in college and I do find parts of those useful, but I'm not sure they have a place at the high school level. Perhaps a class where you had to build/design turing machines would be interesting enough to be useful.
I'm a CS grad and I took AP Stat and AP CS in high school, and I'm currently working as a programmer. In relation to programming, stat is very nearly worthless. There are certainly things I learned in stat that I use every so often, but nothing in relation to a programming task. In my high school, I had to choose between AP stat and calc and calc would have helped a lot more in college. Granted, for my line of programming, calc doesn't help either, but it would have helped more in obtaining the degree.

Keep the kids longer and don't send homework.

They tried to charge me for not returning my own modem as well
Same thing came to mind

What about your username and password? Blocking TLS also sends your credentials in plaintext.

Meat will make you sick if you haven't eaten it in a while

Chop the finger off and burn it. Better than some sentences that could be handed out.

I'm aware. I used some random site I found on google that displays my sent headers.
I'm on fios and just checked headers, nothing like this (yet).
The first tor hop is encrypted, so no. Technically, if the exit node is on verizon wireless, then it would have the code of exit node, not yours.
They can't inject into secure traffic. HTTPS solves this problem too.
ya, we had the same problem. Bookmarked this page, http://raspberrypi.stackexchan...

If you don't want to be replaced by a robot, don't act like a robot. All jobs that can be replaced by a robot, will be replaced, eventually.
So what's this kid's punishment for doing a gun related school project?
I'm everywhere
