    There is a saying, There is no such thing as a bad student only a bad teacher.

    You haven't seen some people who don't want and/or are incapable of learning the most basic scientific facts. Yes, you could spend with them 5x the normal time for normal student, but is it really worth it? We need someone to clean the streets, and really intelligent ambitious people don't really want to do it. Typical street cleaner doesn't need to know what an Ohm's law is.

    I have met with this lately on one electronics forum. First answer was ridicule, because I was trying to make device for firing fireworks to music ( "You can't even solder properly and you want to blow things up? Give up buddy, or you will hurt someone"). But one strange thing with technical people: when you show that you really aren't stupid and just don't know something yet, they will help you (those same people who ridiculed me the most were later really helpful). Technical people are interacting with so much idiots every day, that they just assume anyone not yet knowing the field is an idiot.

  11. Re:Someone has to build the vehicles on NASA Wants To Fund Space Taxis · · Score: 1

    just realize that the next thing we need to figure out in space is how to get people into space both safely and cheaply.

    No, the next thing we need to figure out is why the hell anyone would want to go to space (save the novelty of it). Until we terraform the moon, mine on the asteroid belt or develop cost-effective agriculture on a space station, there is no practical reason to go to space and surely nothing to justify spending my hard-earned $$$ on it.

    If we can't go cheaply into space, how can we terraform moon or mine asteroid belt? FIRST you have to have cheap space travel, THEN you can mine asteroid belt economically.

Referee: first one from street who will agree. - Yeah, some function does not exists on iphone = bunch of crap, no real apple follower would want it. Not every program must automatically drain batteries, typically background processes sleep most of the time and do something only when new data comes.

    The competition will, as always, be one step behind. Following the leader is a losing game. Google is doing a great job in trying to change the rules with Android, but unlike Apple, OEMs using Android simply don't understand the user as well as Apple does.

    Yeah, because users don't really like recording video or sending mms. Or running IM in background. I know for all current smartphone users having only screen keyboard is the best possible thing, but I'll never buy an iPhone, just because it's keyboard is good only for lolcats. Even on numeric keypad inputting one long number without error (required in some teleaudio systems or when registering one program through phone) is hard, I've tried 3 times unsuccessfully until one coworker read numbers from screen and I was occupied only with entering them, otherwise there is too many errors. Text keyboard is even smaller. Nokia 6822 (my current phone) has probably the best idea for qwerty keyboard.
