Look, I mostly agree with you. But I don't think Parallels is really the way to go, especially if you are doing graphics intensive gaming/[other graphics stuff]. Try playing around with http://www.cs.utah.edu/~jmk/simian/ and you'll see why Parallels sucks.
I'd recommend a dual/triple boot if you have the absolute need to run Windows.
I had a T800 but then the T1000 tried to blow it away. The older model was more solid but the later had vastly improved flexibility. The T1000 must have been using flash memory or something because moving parts were a bit of a no-go zone.
Agreed. That 1.6E06 views of records from one user within x seconds (not sure about time, but a lot faster than anyone, yes even those txt message masters, can key press) should have been detected as a little suspicious. monster.com should be advertising for another sysadmin.
Teachers should not teach to the brighter students. If a student is as bright as they think they are, or as bright as their parents think and tell them they are, they can learn easily on their own and only need to be shown which chapters of which book to work from. They can then work independently. Teachers should be teaching *primarily* to the not so bright students as this is where the greatest impact can be made.
School is the only place where the 'lower students' will ever get a formal education and this is the reason why the focus should be on them. The brighter students will get many, many more opportunities for higher education.
'Bright students' that need to be taught are either too lazy or were miss classified as being bright. They are the ones that will spoil a class's education.
This was an interesting comment. But there is something crucial to add.
I know a lot of private schools here in Queensland, Australia that actively encourage students not to take the 'higher' subjects. This is done for a couple of reasons. 'Lower than standard' students that take these subjects lower the school's score with regards to other schools for said subject and therefore statistically reduce the middle range of students' final score (Overall Position [OP] in Queensland). In fact, some schools discourage 'lower achieving' students from taking the final exams for tertiary education entry because they lower the school's average and therefore lower the median OP for that school. This means that the school will have more students that get an OP higher than 5 and thus increase the funding for the school.
In Queensland, to fix the issue of low enrollments for 'higher subjects', two things need to happen. The OP system (tertiary entrance score) needs to be scrapped since it can be manipulated via statistics and the government needs to stop funding schools whereby the funding is directly proportional to the number of high achievers. I'm too wrecked at the moment to ponder the implications of increasing the funding of schools with poorer performance rather than those with a higher performance.
In Queensland, private schools get money from students and from the government. Public schools only get funding from the government. Private schools actively seek out those high performing students and offer scholarships to attend the private school. I know, because both my brother and I were offered these scholarships. But our parents were both teachers for the public system. We both got the highest OP score at our public school.
You should never teach to the brightest students. If they are actually as bright as they think they are, or that the parents think they are, they do not need any instruction. They will discover for themselves. ,br.Instead, you should teach to the lower/middle end. That is where the most impact can be made. This is what is occurring with this book. That, and certain stigmas surrounding mathematics need to be changed.
Nicely worded, although the christian woman thing was a little scarey.
I'm a mathematician (employed), I love to cook (I cook six out of seven nights and breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday mornings for my wife) and am looking forward to being the 'homemaker' when my first born arrives very soon now.
That is a hell of a lot, and overly complicated, code for such a simple app. What is the efficiency of this? How long before a stack overflow occurs for something just as simple? For a device that is set to revolutionise telephony, this does not really seem like a revolution, except in the full circle sense.
Do not trade the misprint... Check if the publishers page has "First Edition" written on it. If it has, JACKPOT! Just wait prior to the last movie coming out when hype is critical and go fishing for prices. If no prices that will buy you a new car, wait 10-20 years.
But they won't nuke SK (Japan, however... ). They (NK) believe that SK has been infiltrated, corrupted and made puppets of the US. The Koreas still share a long lasting history and an amazingly rich culture. There is still a lot of national love and pride there. That China is backing the US on this one is comforting. But it should be the South Koreans that should be doing the negotiations, the US should be sitting this one on the sideline.
If the suit is skintight, then we should see a lot more of the Female Astronaut Program. All of it!
Dude, I don't know what things are like over there, but in this country, the nerdy chicks are not the sort I'd drool over as they do tumbles in spandex.
Not quite that easy. In Australia, the term 'college' is not a word used when career education is in mind. Yes, there are technical colleges, but these are not used for long term, rewarding career paths in the computer industry. The 'college' will teach you how to plug a keyboard into a usb port on a Windows machine. Not really what the 'ask slashdot'er is after.
At the University I attended, there was no CS degree/course. This actually wasn't a problem. Instead, I did two degrees; IT and Science (Mathematics). I found this particularly useful. On one hand, I did learn how the computers work (beit a little basic) and the general principles of programming (In two major languages; C++ and Java... learning the advantages and disadvantages of both). The Mathematics degree was where I learnt the very cool stuff. I concentrated on numerical analysis. This gave me an excellent foothold on transcribing formula to algorithms (Anyone who tells you this is easy is either a god or does not know how to do it).
Each degree on their own I now realise would have been basically useless in terms of high wage employment, but the combination has been VERY good to me.
Of your two options, I'd have to go with stupid. But the benefit is very clear. It is the Australian consumers that benefit. That laws are adhered to. The ACCC receive money from the Australian Government (read tax payer money) to make sure that companies stick to the rules. This way, large corporations don't get away with treating the consumers (or anybody/anything else) like crap by having pockets deep enough that they can 'win' by keeping the case in court for as long as it takes to bankrupt anyone bringing legal action. This tactic will not work with the ACCC.
On a recent trip to China, I could not help but notice the number of people using Kubuntu. It was everywhere, far more prevalent than all the linux distros that I see here in Australia.

I second that that motion. Hopefully motion will be parsed.

People with iPhones should get their bills online. That way you can chew up your data usage viewing n-1's bill.
What a narrow minded and stupid comment.

Or you can do what the Singaporean government does, realign the electoral boundaries to favour the current government.
Both have essentially the same outcome, pick your poison.

Brilliant reference. Spent a while on it.
And which one rocked your world?

I'm surprised I didn't see "jump just before the plane smashes into the ground" mentioned.

I'd still be having a look at the logs.

I suppose the ISP slipped in an 'Unlimited Downloads*' slogan as well. Or, was this just what I saw on Google AdSense?
