There are numerous things that San Francisco Schools do that are ridiculous.
Repetitive assignments.
"Everyone wins!" bullshit.
Shifting the curriculum up a year
Wasting money everywhere
I would like to be (probably) the first to tell you that the gate program is absolutely 100% meaningless. Your kids are almost certainly average. I say this because the gate test is not an intelligence test, but rather a test of current knowledge.
You kids probably passed because you're a pushy parent who wants to have very successful children.
I completely agree that basic math skills are highly lacking, not only in San Francisco but across the country.
I'm not so sure that's a bad thing. Advanced courses such as Calculus require abstraction, which is suppressed by the structured nature of more basic mathematics.
I'm a high school senior. I go to a crappy inner city school (i'm not getting up at 5am for better desks). I have taken every technical class the school has to offer. Frankly I could have learned more if I had spent the time from just one of those classes reading about the topic.
Most of these kids you'll teach probably wont have a mastery of algebra, let alone have the mental concept of complex systems like robotics. There's always a few that do, but they'd benefit from an extracurricular group after school.
Anybody even remotely interested in serious robotics at a high school level will have already completed Algebra in 8th grade. Everyone else is to busy talking about/having sex to care.
Extracurricular groups sound great, except no one ever has time for them. I cannot spend my time doing an extracurricular activity when I have 4 hours of homework each night. Again students interested in robotics will have significant homework each day.
You'd be best teaching how a computer works (from ground up), how circuits work, basic circuit theory, and basic radio theory.
I agree with that, except that AP Physics C covers a great deal of the basics of circuits and EM.
AP Physics C should be offered at ALL high schools, if it is not then he shouldn't be trying to add another elective.
Teaching how a computer works is a GREAT idea. Frankly no one really gets it.
Internet resources for figuring out how computers work is great and all, but a real classroom experience cannot be beaten here.
As a side note:
Most people have absolutely no idea how a computer works. I don't care. No they don't need to know. No I'm not going to tell them they are stupid. I don't know how to do a French manicure, does that mean I'm stupid? didn't think so
Of course you could and they couldn't do a thing about it, but im going to assume that they would each have to have a different ip, so each connection would be limited to 300 kb/s.
Movies rented using MovieLink can be perminantly held by copying the movie file and backing up your key ring or manually disabling the movielink service. I personally prefer movielink:P
Unfortunately the free market doesn't correct for DEATH
The only (major) group that has something to gain from saving the environment is the next generation. The next generation doesn't have enough purchasing power to be a significant economic force, thus the free market cannot compensate for costs that are imposed on the next generation.
Slashdot Mirror
But does it run linux?
no seriously can you dual boot linux and windows on an intel mac?
Websters defines capitalism as
I damn well paid for my computer so I damn well own MY computer.
Capitalism is about buying things that you then OWN.
Any assigned reading is bad.
If I wanted to read that book then I would read that book.
Their entire business model is basically to get other people to generate cool stuff and then put their ads next to it.
Restricting myspace in anyway would quickly lead to less interesting stuff and thus less ad revenue.
Malware Rootkits AdWare is all pretty standard stuff.
How exactly is this news?
Don't forget the webcam!!
They couldn't have their own personal Real World® without a webcam!

I am legally required to be in school.
If I am legally required to be in school and what I am learning is censored.
Then how can I hope to learn the truth?

I cannot in vision any scenario in which an ISP is incapable of isolating a single customers traffic.
At the most basic level the physical connection could be intercepted.
Thus they are not making a reasonable effort to minimize the scope of the tapping and are breaking the law.
Well what else are you going to do in canada?!
This is the list of approved calculators.
Do NOT buy a calculator that isn't on that list, even if it matches the requirements.
As several other people have pointed out the blur effect is simply a hashing function.
A fundamental of cryptography is that the algorithm will be known by the attacker, that only the key is unknown.
So no multiple passes would not stop the attack from succeeding (it may slow it down however).
Of course you could and they couldn't do a thing about it, but im going to assume that they would each have to have a different ip, so each connection would be limited to 300 kb/s.
Maybe that would help if you were multitasking?

Who moded that as funny?
seriously....
The concepts are identical.
At the most basic level this is just a high powered antenna/receiver. (sort of like a super RFID chip with a battery)

p.s. i like pie
wtf...
Microsoft did not steal anything from apple!
They stole it from GNU/Linux! duh...
Unless you buy them with a credit car....
comScore is also known for installing spyware to monitor all traffic (Market Research Company Secretly Installs Spyware)
Which is apparently ok because they are getting REAL data from it!
On second thought I would have to agree that the majority of PHP flaws are due to unskilled programming.
just have a look
I for one would like to thank him for the nominal increase in success rates of attacks thanks to him!
GREAT IDEA!!!!
Finally something telling people when NOT to use ajax....
