Since you're a researcher in the field, what would you suggest a teacher (specifically an after-school "enrichment" teacher - who cannot give grades and/or homework) do to maintain better classroom control? I'll be

If their day consisted of outdoor free play, they wouldn't actually be learning - which is half the problem. They need to learn, and about every 5-10 years, the amount they need to know in order to function (in other words, how much t

I don't know about you, but my computer still has 2 serial ports on the back, a 3.5" USB drive, and 100% compatibility with CDs via my CD-RW/DVD-RW optical drive. Who removed these things? Who would have the gall to tell me

People wonder why I loathe insurance companies. It's really upsetting how our modern world has gotten, thanks to legalized protection rackets.

Because it's being called a "replacement for Windows and MacOS". I take issue with that, because it's provably not. All use cases are valid. It doesn't matter if you're using it for work or play, there is no

It's not so much that the rail itself was destroyed, but that the tunnels and stations have been closed for various reasons. Usually it's down to either a new replacement station being built, consistent signal issues, or some oth

And during an interview on NPR yesterday, Cuomo said something along the line of "Well, I don't know if 'The MTA' really exists'." This is not a man who should be in charge of the MTA. And the fact that he and

No, but the PATH is pretty reliable and buses work - especially the Spanish bus. Every time I hear people complaining about the train into NYC I ask them why they don't either come to Passaic, Union City, or Hoboken and take an easier

The thing about this is that the MTA and NYC Subway are NOT for-profit businesses. They're part of the public sector and shouldn't be held to a profit motive. Similarly, the Unions connected to City transportation should recogni

Of course, you just know that the answer from most of the hardcore Linux people will be that you should "get involved" with the projects you named and contribute code - whether or not you actually know how to program is inconseque

Yeah, and that doesn't actually reflect the game-as-played. I have never played an Uno game with perfect information, or without action cards. I can't imagine it would even be fun! Also, try playing Hot Death Uno, which for me

Is it binary-compatible with Windows & Mac OS? If it's not, then it's not a replacement and the title should be changed to reflect that. I respect the idea of speed and privacy (though I'm still a minimalist - I believe

Most new hires are probably not being interviewed by devs, but either by 3rd-party recruiters or internal recruiters with HR. When I was working in recruiting, the last thing either we or the client wanted was for the new hire to talk to e

Without a doubt. I've run into so many little "glitches" in WP that it really soured me to CMS backed websites. The next site I run is going to be 100% hand-coded. ... and it'll probably load a lot faster than the PHP+C

I mean, in 2018, I'm scared witless of all that. Anything cached in background to someone else's computer by something as unstable and slow as ECMAScript is just... a very bad idea. Keep programs local, and don't use Web co

As someone who has sort of "fallen into" the education field, I can only say this: If any of the interviews I've had, or the resumes I've sent, had turned into job offers more lucrative and reliable than education, I&#x2

I just wish that ReactOS or Freedos would install successfully on my IBM desktop, which runs Win7 fine.

The more I see of these things, the more I see reason to have partitions, or real drives, with every OS from DOS 5 to the presence.

Wow. They're now even less useful than an old paper map.

Not much would happen. Another minor flutter in the tech world, a bunch of people finally realizing just how much they've given up to one company, and then everything would go back to normal, and everyone would forget that Google rule

I'm on an Android where the Facebook program came default. I've never logged into the site using my device, and I never will. But thanks to the way Alcatel, TracFone, and Facebook have it worked out, the best thing I can do is &qu

Realistically, the whole DMCA needs to be repealed, not just one piece.

Could you get a class-action lawsuit together from everyone who's "bought" a digital book, and sue them for false advertisement?

Then make sure there's a way to preserve all settings and function from older versions. Tell me if I'm using something "unsafe", let me get it out of the way once and then leave me alone. Don't cut out functionalit

I disagree. I should be allowed to take on the burden of my own security. I don't want an outside force trying to pretend they know my needs better than me. You can produce a product, and I, the user, should have 100% decision on how

That's part of why I'd only use gift cards with very restricted budgets on paid software repositories.

It's not about paying or not paying - if you want to give them money for non-physical goods and/or services, that's entirely your choice. It's about being positive that some outside force isn't going to come along
