Perhaps since the knew study is out , we have discovered that Da Vinci painted naked and was fairly good looking.
On the contrary the expression on her face could very well be a combination of the 83% happiness and the excitement of having her portrait painted by "Da Vinci". However, the 9% disgust could very well be toward Da Vinci's habit of nude painting and particularly toward his shriveled member.
This may or may not be true but it is said that the ARPANET was built to withstand nuclear attacks so that US Military communications would not be breached. If so then The "virtual realm" has been a platform for military efforts for years.
Under present day circumstances however, the dynamic strategy of attacks in the "virtual realm" will only reflect the value of resources that we (US) have in the "virtual realm". There would be no attacks in the "virtual realm" if it didn't pose a threat valuable threat to an enemy. In addition, if attacks on the "virtual realm" become equal in magnitude to the types of threats exhibited during the Cold War... maybe we should rethink our efforts in technology and the interdependence of the Country and new technologies.

Well, they're at his school and they're going to have a much better clue about what the school is offering and how he can use those services than a bunch of random slashdotters who don't know a thing about his school (and many who have either never been or haven't been to college in eons).
There are however those of us that are currently in college and find feedback from Slashdot and other web related discussions quite resourceful. It's great: you post a question that you are stuck on and you get a cornucopia of answers neatly assembled in a categorized thread of wisdom (and quite a bit of foolishness but thats what the mods are for, right!).
Then you take those wisdoms and highlight what is useful (either in memory or written down) and sit with your advisor. If he or she doesn't know what the hell they are talking about you can reference the wisdom received from Slashdot and control your own destiny. Instead of relying on Fred the dead-beat-Dad and part-time university advisor.
However, if the advisor does know something you can still use the Slashdot-wisdom to pose possible senarios to the advisor and see the limitations of each. And they will have to sit there and listen to you because as someone wrote on an earlier post... that is what you are paying them for.
I've wondered this for awhile now: why do we still have a Save button?
It is most likely psychological dependency that has developed within the larger community of users. Donald A. Norman a CS professor at Northwestern developed a psychological model called the Human Action Cycle, he identifies the psychological process while humans interact with computers systems is primarily result oriented.
In summary, when we work with computer systems we are goal oriented; if we achieve our goal then we are succesful. In other words, if it aint broke don't fix it.

I don't know... I tried to cite a handful of reputable and well known bloggers (I won't mention any names) in an essay that I wrote last year for a science class at uni. However, my first draft was handed to me with red lines through each reference to a blogger in my bibliography, along with a comment to include "real sources".
Do people generally feel that bloggers are not reliable sources or was that a personal bias from my professor?
Did I say something wrong... sheesh. I didn't know I would end-up being labeled a Troll! Now I wish I would have just kept my comment to myself. My apologies folks.
I wonder who these guys are who IBM pays, wait... PAY$ to sell a conceptual framework for OpenDoc support that they have not even adopted yet! I would love to be paid to bullshit! That is like the best job. Bullshitters get the best jobs... just look at GWB.

It is my opinion that the developers of ubuntu did not write edubuntu with the intention of hooking children on linux. I'm sure that was a factor, but i would like to believe that the idea was to create on operating system that would aid in the education process. I am a technology assistant for a school system.
I agree, i think that is exactly what they intended. Which is why (IMHO) they included the SchoolTool Calendar.

Thats just it... on some degree I think it does have a predictive value. But the value is in how the child is able to interact with technology, not necessarily forseeing what OS a person will use but providing the opportunity for the child to interact and manipulate the machine.
This will support and shape their minds through direct experience proving that human intellect is the origin of science and that without human intelligence technology would cease to exist.
In contrast, there is an upside to keeping young people in the dark about technology. For instance those of us who work in technology could profit greatly if your children become dull drones subject to background processes, GUI buttons and mouse clicks... "Long live intellectual property rights!"

It makes a difference... there are 13 year olds right now who have no clue how the machine that serves them and their family functions even on a basic level. Puzzling their minds like man's first glimpse of fire. I'm sure those experiences shaped how you think about and interact with technology.

Before I get started, let me say that I use mailx more than I use Outlook.
Nice... I like the default to mailx. Nice to see Slashdotters street-credit conscious.
It's a Windows app that runs in your system tray, watching what you do...
"A Windows app... watching what you do..." Sounds like Spyware! Watch for rootkits!
Is a war already starting in the virtual realm?
This may or may not be true but it is said that the ARPANET was built to withstand nuclear attacks so that US Military communications would not be breached. If so then The "virtual realm" has been a platform for military efforts for years.

Just a thought...
Your story was a dupe.
Not so fast... that was only a half-dupe! But hey I'm OK with it, really.
True... but I did search Google and Slashdot for related topics on Slashdot... I saw nothing. However, I certainly could have missed it.
Thanks.

If this is news... I am curious why my story entitled, "Red Hat and M$'s Big Plans For India"" was rejected by Slashdot? Curious, indeed.
Dude, do you ever listen to RMS?
Listen to him! Dude have you seen him lately, he looks like he could be the offspring of Chewbacca & Bilbo Baggins.
