I guess my hint went right over your head. Generalization has nothing to do with liberalism.
My point is that fascism (and it's cousin nationalism) is the opposite of liberalism. Nationalism is the idea that my nation is superior because of blood, language or religion. Fascism is something like nationalism, except you add the requirement that the citizens sacrifice themselves for the state (citizens are encouraged to dedicate their lives and means of production for the purpose of advancing the cause of greater Freedonia, for example). This is the complete opposite of the liberal notions of freedom and individualism.
Most people who live in the United States think that the Democratic Party is liberal. Of course, they also think the Republican party is conservative, which is just as wrong.
You leave out some important information about Minsky's paper with Seymour. They found that a simple type of neural network called a Perceptron could not determine if a type of image that looks like a spiral is connected or not (is the image made of one spiraled line, or two spiraled lines?)
At that time, neural networks were brand new, and the later advances in the 1980's weren't even conceived. It turns out that more complex networks CAN determine if the image is connected or not. The paper was not about those more advanced networks, just Perceptrons. There was nothing wrong with his findings. If anything, it was an overreaction on the part of the AI community to his paper that shut down neural network research. If you blame Minsky, then you've got to blame everyone else who basically read the paper and gave up for 15 years.
A lot of your students will not have a computer of their own. You should probably heavily research where people can buy very inexpensive used computers in your city and present that material to your students.
You might find that you have a star student in your class. After the class is done, you could tell that star student that you'll make them a deal (if you are in a position to do that). You could give them a summer job mowing your lawn. If you pay them $20 each time, they could buy a machine from you for $100.
You can't help every child by yourself, but you can pick your most promising student and become a mentor to them.

So, besides that, all I have to say is quit whining. It does no good and it annoys the pig, or something like that. Everything changes. Things will stay the same until there is a revolution. No revolution starts itself. No revolution is ever started at home. That implies that whining about the sad state of affairs in a place where the sad state is exemplified is counterproductive. Thus, your imperative is to go out from here, and start a revolution. Ahhhh, whining is easier.
I've just had my computer make a billion copies of your article. Does this take the article away from you? No. Does this article prevent hundreds of thousands of/. readers from reading the article? No. Do my actions remove even a single cent from your pocket? No.
That is the essential difference between physical property and intellectual property.
Your argument is not persuasive, because of the following weakness:
If you list all of the possible ways that you can help the blind, you find that you can sort them by order of importance. Right at the top of the list is the MOST helpful way to help the blind. Immediately under that is the second most helpful way, and so on.
Your argument is resting on the idea that one should spend money on the most helpful thing. There is only ONE most helpful thing in a ranked list, so that sensibility, universally applied, would result in starvation of many other important functions.
You may still be right. Spending money on HST images for the blind might be a waste of money. But your argument doesn't convince me of that.
You're going to have to also figure out what do do with cutting holes in the box to allow access to the keyboard, serial, and parallel ports. All of these things are different for the ATX board layout.
I just tossed out my AT box and bought an ATX box. Anyone here actually jam an ATX board into an AT box like this guy is doing? What problems did you have?
Usually you do, except for the P4 processor. The P4 will probably never be what you want. See previous/. articles for long descriptions of the P4 problems. Rambus was just the tip of the iceberg.
If you can't get everything in the house turned off, then get everything that you can, measure twice with and without your computers, and then subtract. You might find this helpful if for example, you've got a house alarm and no clue how to turn the damn thing off completely.

We don't need mail and newsreaders in Mozilla. This is what we do need:

2) passable page rendering
3) support for the downloadable Java plugin from Sun. No need to reinvent the wheel.
4) Comes with the Boehm garbage collector built in.

If those features were supported, I'd switch browsers. Why don't people think of these things? They are so obvious.
I gotta mention this as well. I checked out their website, and English is a language that they teach. So the part where I said that they never speak English to you in class is not 100% accurate...

Yes, I've come to the conclusion that the proper classification of humans is not actually as a mammal. The proper classification is as a parasite, a disease. Mammals live in balance with their environment, but parasites use up all the resources of a place and then move on.
I'm going to do this to learn German. Apparently when you go to class (flexible negotiated schedule, one on one with the teacher) they never speak English to you. You learn because you MUST learn if you want to talk to your teacher. In 6 months, you're pretty good at the language.
