After reading what they said, it seriously looks like a giant prank. And yet it's not. It's amazing how low people will go to try to drag someone in the mud.
I'm not even sure they were successful. The desperation just makes the whole ordeal funny. If I received that in the mail, I'd probably vote for her.
Come on, man. This troll has been going on for weeks now. People just don't like the Dice owns slashdot so they post this shit.
If Dice were really removing posts, they'd be deleting them, not advertising to the world "We are censoring your discussions!" It boggles the mind the gullibility you and the GP share.
He doesn't seem to have an issue with the walled garden on iOS but he suddenly takes an intentionally public stand against Windows 8? Is it hitting a bit too close to home this time, Notch?
Notch is always looking to be the center of attention. It works well for him, but through the years I've always thought him to be a bit of a dick, really. I don't hate the man, I just think the way he does things and reacts to things is off.
Infiniminer was never commercial; he just didn't release the source code initially until someone decompiled it and people started forking it. Jesus if you're going to stick your nose into discussions with such a negative attitude, you could at least get your facts straight, least you look like a flippant Minecraft fanboy.
Indeed, in the United States, typefaces are exempt from copyright protection. Computer fonts, as a specific implementation of that typeface, however, can be protected as computer software. Though even with that in mind, people can still create visually similar work and distribute the fonts for free if they wish.
I'm more curious as to why she was quoting US law in her response to the man though regarding the C&D, opposed to Spanish law, seeing as they're both from that area.
Control freakery? I really don't believe not being able to change your font is Amazon "needing to be a control freak". A good feature to have, sure, but never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity. I wouldn't be surprised if it probably never even crossed the minds of those in charge.
I've always wondered why people feel the need to post shit like this. It's as though suggesting you have anything to do with teaching forces a bunch of random pricks to analyze every character you write, desperately looking for any grammatical mistakes just so they can point out "herp derp hope you don't teach English!"
We're not in class, and your response is old and tired.
Established federal law seems to disagree with you.

Where are schools able to buy identically configured old used computer hardware that is still healthy enough for prolonged student use and small enough that it doesn't take up half the classroom for everyone to have one at $25 a pop, while consuming a fraction of the power usage from traditional machines?
Why would students need expandability for such a learning device?
What performance critical code are students going to be running on the devices that isn't met by what the Pi provides, keeping in mind it can run Quake 3 Arena at 1080p at a modest framerate?
I think your statement is also irrelevant to be honest.
The whole point on the education side is to have cheap computers that schools can use in bulk for teaching kids, not a lesson on open platforms. Not a lesson on building tiny computers. It's designed to be a small linux box that can run/make applications; nothing more. How many other computers in education now are completely open down to the individual chips, eh? Hasn't crippled their use in education yet!
That's not how the Do Not Call list works. If you are reported for calling a name on the DNC list, you can be fined upwards of $10,000 per unsolicited call. It is in their best interest not to call the numbers on the list.
Since adding my name to that list years ago, I've yet to receive solicitations over the phone.

Well, then, that answers my question.
Put me down for 6.
So when can we expect Apple to stop supporting Foxconn, then? Ever?
Obviously calling them technical wizards was in jest, but you had to go and take everything at face value. Are you related to buzz killington?

No kidding. Is it too much to ask for some captions?

Keep living in denial. We all know what you're into you sick bastard.
Because they weren't talking about teaching English, or even teaching in general. They just mentioned that they were a teacher.
Because it doesn't belong in idle.

How is this described only as a Windows problem?

Were you trying to take that point somewhere?
Are you an objective source for deciding whether or not you're a better driver than the machine?

It doesn't need to be open hardware.

Wow, I don't think you could have made his point any better right there.
The way it's worded makes it sound like a signing bonus, not a salary.
