    this has nothing to do with politics and the parent made a good point. If someone is dependant on someone else, who pays when a deadline is missed? Should adobe be paying all the fees that people got charged for not delivering ontime? Should adobe be paying for those who mayhave lost their jobs due to adobes outage?

    well in my case, im still just using CS6 - it has everything *I* need for what I do with it, I dont care about the online only model for tools that i NEED at any given time.

    If I had a deadline and was unable to access my stuff, is adobe going to pay for it? I doubt it

    how about we get rid of the unions, AND the bureaucracy?

  13. Re:Dear Mark on Zuckerberg's $100 Million Education Gift Solved Little · · Score: 1

    I blame the decline of education on a few things

    Parents, parents these days just are not involved in their kids lives as much as they were 30-50 years ago. The rise of divorce rates I believe have harmed the children in this level. Of course people should be happy with their SO, but if you have a child, you do whats best for the child

    teacher unions, the make it damn near impossible to fire bad teachers and hire good ones. There is no reason that people should be guaranteed a job for life (almost) after a handful of years. If your students are not learning its not always your fault, but teachers unions are just as bad as the UAW, arguably one of the worst unions for america today

    and lastly, but most importantly, the department of education. This bureaucracy does NOTHING to help students, and only helps control people by making people jump through hoops to fit some made up criteria. The money for the schools in NY, should stay in NY, not come from cali and alaska tunneled in through the federal government, because anytime the federal government "gives" states money, there are ALWAYS strings attached. (look at highway funding for the reason why all states have a 21 year old drinking age for example) On top of that we have no competition when all the mandates are pushed nationwide. The beauty of this country is that we have 50 states, or 50 different tests ongoing all the time. Sometimes things work, sometimes they dont. When 1 state fails, it can learn from others who dont fail what works best. However if all 50 fail, where do we learn from??

  14. Re:Breaking news on Zuckerberg's $100 Million Education Gift Solved Little · · Score: 1

    if someone is excelling in public schools, why not give the advanced students an education above what is "equal" more to work with? Meaning we set a benchmark for the public schools, but if people want a better education allow them to do so and see what works

    for example in NYC
    Instead of doing what our mayor in NYC is doing, trying to ban the schools that are doing good, why not send in people to find out why charter school children are doing better, and try and put more of that into the public schools??

    you DO know that 1- marijuana is not unconstitutional, in fact the declaration is written on paper made from the stuff

    Secondly marijuana was not banned by the constitution, in fact the government used a strong arm tactic to go around the constitution. If they did it legally they would have banned it with an amendment as they did alcohol
