I live in a small city, so not likely, but maybe. Large training ground for military nearby. I wonder if 4g is good enough to play on? But I am thinking most likely not.
Thanks, I will keep that in mind. I am due to renew in like June/July and I might just get an addon, hopefully at a discount. The only thing is the girl friend's son has done and got addicted to TF2 (my fault) and not sure cellular would do it.
Hate the speeds, but I really hate the prices more. But I just might do it to get away from Comcast and AT&T. Somehow I feel these people are just as shady though.
The wages of sin is death, and I think that applies figuratively as well. We kill off the good when we do bad. (Still literal I guess..) A small part of me wonders is pirating just the market screaming out, sort of like gangs are screaming their is a problem with society. I think it indeed is, and that we should have hit Microsoft with monopoly lawsuits and actually forced competition and not just fines as a part of doing business. I guess we just didn't have or listen to critical thinkers early on enough.
Sure, I do think their is a case. Just like I believe that you should pay for instruction, but not charge others for it, therefore in fact giving "something" in return.
What I was responding to was that you said the motivation lies solely with the parents. But without sparking motivation, the teachers can't teach. That is what teaching is really, the art of motivating someone to learn. Learning is not memorizing. Going by your other posts, you would I agree I think that (to paraphrase), If a teacher can't motivate they are a bad teacher!
I see where you are coming from with the pink elephant theory, but keep in mind that there are many wealthy parents that in fact want their kids to attend public schools not for money, but for other reasons. These same parents may let their children attend these schools even if they do not feel the program is actually necessary.
In short, I think we both generally agree, but are just looking at different angles. I guess I am mostly playing devil's advocate here.
That is why damages should be separate from legal fees. This would give incentive to settle early if you know you are going to settle. Since a corporation is a legal entity and if you sue me you can get damages plus legal fees, why do corporations get a free pass?
How can I reject it and it only take a minute? Is their a link? I would gladly forsake $16 to make a statement. Sure, a few thousand people will only save Comcast some cash and likely do nothing, but seeing as how I am seriously considering getting rid of Comcast, and doing without (Fuck AT&T - Your world, delivered... to the NSA - I will miss you Slashdot) I will do the thing I think is right and let my voice be heard.
There was a guy in another article who stated that he believes that piracy is as much of an enemy to open source as it is to proprietary software companies. His theory was that Adobe for example turns a blind eye to college kids pirating Photoshop so they will be hooked and pay for it later when they work for or start their own business. Also, Microsoft would rather you pirate Windows and keep the mind-share as he called it instead of downloading Linux. I agree, and hope this idea backfires, similarly to Apple backtracking on the political cartoonist and Opera browser.
Imagine, everyone (average Joes) starts to see just how invasive these snobs are and say, NO we don't want your spyware watching me (I like porn, or whatever, I just want a little privacy and not to wonder if my webcam is on while I get dressed), I don't want to be searched at the border for a DVD that (I feel) looks clearly legit. I want to be able to freely trade and invest in movie futures and just because you don't like it, tough titty. I do it with everything else that involves money. One day, perhaps they will cross that line. All it takes is the media seeing green and watching everyone else make money and they will fall like dominoes not wanting to miss the story.
You are right, this was teachers/coaches, so it had to be benign. They didn't inhale, excuse me, they didn't "look", so we need to let this slide. Just like the coaches who were just looking for stolen swim equipment in the girl's locker rooms that made the news recently. I am sure that was all they were doing.
To respond to you signature, Valve had this idea, and people spurned it at the time. Of course that was before they actually had a bunch of games in their lineup. (At least more than three years ago they did a survey.) The idea was to pay $10-15 and get all the games for free. That idea wasn't bad considering the prices that are paid for games... And you get the kind of support that Steam can offer, such as cloud based services (configuration, saved games, etc.).
being a parent is just as big a responsibility as being a child which is just as big a responsibility as being an educator... I am pretty sure that the parent has certain responsibilities that differ than the educator, and each has some that are bigger on the ones that they share. To say that a child has as much responsibility as adults... hmm no. I can goof off and still change my ways later as a child and be ok. That is a part of learning. A parent for example has to provide food and shelter no matter what.
This was actually a good post and now I see where you are coming from. We do indeed need to think about the end results. However, please say spanking and not beating. I think that is what you meant, but anyone who has ever been "beat" will never agree with you.
One thing to consider however. A teacher may be passionate and very good, but simply not know how to teach the children she is now teaching. Does that make her bad? No, it just means she needs to figure out how to get the job done. These people are trying to help. It isn't like we have an over abundance of great teachers in society sadly, and I applaud anyone for trying to help the situation, even if I am critical as well, like you.
cash incentives in schools are 100% the result of lazy educators who are bad at their jobs. when children don't do what is asked of them, the system has already failed. shame on the teachers.
Really, it can't be they are researching what and how best to motivate kids?
True, without doing it correctly this could be disastrous. But that is anything new in schools. Children don't do what is asked of them because they are not motivated to. I learned most of what I did in school so that I could teach the other kids since I was bored of hearing the teacher go on and on about the same things week after week. As Mr. Miyagi said, no such thing as bad student, only bad teacher. But the key to being a teacher is knowing one thing, how to get them interested. Anyone can learn anything, if they are interested.
as a taxpayer, i don't think it's fair that i'm already paying for your child's education, and now i must also pay to motivate them to receive it. the burden of motivation should land completely on the parents. I disagree. Firstly, education of children benefits you. I can elaborate, but you can see that, don't you?
Secondly, as a taxpayer, one would think you would want to get the best bang for your buck. There is a case made that this is it.
Sorry, I call BS. These women (if they are teaching..) should and likely did in fact know what it could be used for. They apparently either wanted to use it for that (women like sex too, and do watch porn) or thought they wouldn't allow themselves to be put into that position. In that case they couldn't see the fire was in fact hot and had to find out the hard way.
I applaud them, because as teachers, they have taught many more many valuable lessons./end sarcasm
I agree, I am pretty sure the law was written in fact, to protect the INNOCENT. The guilty get a free pass since it is more important to let the guilty go as long as an innocent person does as well.
Unfortunately that conflicts with a SCHOOL possibly taking naked pictures of students and trying to punish them for eating CANDY they assumed were drugs. No matter what a child has done, they have the right not to be photographed nude. It apparently struck them as genius as well, but were you with them, you would be in the same hot water for not thinking a little more critically.
And I am pretty sure the moment that you do, you will likely lose immunity according to terms of said immunity agreement. So, they just have to leave the best for last, and then everything you said beforehand can now be used against you, since immunity is now null and void. A good attorney can negotiate what you can't be questioned on as a condition of your testimony in exchange for immunity.
Who says you have to use a 2 liter bottle? Find a natural replacement and you have all-natural lighting! (Oops I said that out loud, now the marketers are going to catch wind and bastardize it!)
This was worth the article. I have always felt if we just thought about things more, there are natural ways to have things even better than we have now. Lighting has been something that was on my mind lately. This is giving me ideas.

they should have been forced to refund all the subscription fees they collected while they were throttling.
That will never happen. But it damn well should.

Those who can, do. Those whose products and marketing suck, sue!
