That is absurd. Long ago teachers knew the material very well but had no formal training in teaching and now teachers do not know the material well but have tons of training in teaching and everybody knows that modern education is the bestest ever.

I thought this was going to be amount getting more men into teaching positions but equal racial representation is significant becuase race is signifcant and equal gender representation is insignificant because gender is insignificant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...

The claim itself is 'sexist' I'm okay with it because I'm 'sexist' (whatever the hell that means I'm for it). I am against it because I'm 'sexist.' Good times.

Slashdot has finally decended into Kafka land, the comment section having been there for some time. English wasn't made. No comparable entity has ever been made. Man was created a speaker of language which facilitated expression of his soul. And Man made a tower which resulted in several languages which evolved into many, many more, or all languages just evolved along with the speakers from nothingness over a looooong amount of time. Depending on your religion.

The model is wrong. From the summary it looks like the button will associate with given set of branded products being configurable only in size and quantity. That is fail for me, because my brand is always best price for acceptable quality, which varies. But if and when these buttons become generic and completely configurable, perhaps making use of some sort of rule writing mechanism, to where I can point it intellegently to anything in the Amazon marketplace, then I've found my first use for the now only fantastic internet of things. When you make tools for people to use to make their life easier or better, that's a win. If you make a tool to tie people to your brand (Fire Phone), branded button, that's fail.

Leftists feel sadness for nobody. You don't exist.

I was going to say this but havent seen enough of them to really comment. But I avoid them now.

yes you are a pedant that's fine. yes the height of intellectual attainment was exageration and very obviously so. so there you have it.

Oh ye who would remove rhetoric from intellectual back and forth. Human give and take suffers more robustness than a does a compiler. My point is clear as day unless you are a pedant, do you argue that it has not become normal to equate religiosity with intellectual backwardness in modern times. If so then by all means I am sorry to have lied to you.

No it is not a shame on the business owner for not being comfortable enough to tolerate all sorts of... I imagine he tolerates just fine. What he doesn't want to do is be party to the issue, because he believes in something super-wordly which establishes a system of right and wrong.(Only in modern times has believing in nothing become the height of intellectual attainment but throught human history and still today if you can look beyond the press that belief has gone hand in hand with worldly knowledge. And the business owner is willing to forgo business to accomodate his beliefs. It is a shame on you that you are too small to relate to something like that.

This is blow back for overreach. When we as a society conluded that we cannot employ common sense to indentify and negotiate grey areas (BECAUSE THERE ARE NO GREY AREAS!!!) like the difference between a religious wedding service provider declining to service to same-sex 'marriages' and a coffee shop refusing service to a same-sex 'couple,' people decided to legislately protect their human agency, and we may well wind up the worse for it.

For the history to shed any light we'd need to know why cell phone, laptop earlier adopeters were given a hard time. I don't remember cell phone ealier adopters getting grief and cant speak to laptops in classrooms but that's just me. Seriouse question: what technology is being made portable with these glasses because I am at a loss?

My point is correct if you aren't a pendant. But yes absolutely 'every' was an shameless exageration now you can go back to your bit shifting.

Wow. Another boost to diversity and underrepresentation. It's good to know that things are going so swimmingly that every popular initiative, whether by coporations or by government need center on woman and minorities. If focuse were spent on improving things for people then woman and minorities would benefit because they are people too.

This is slashdot. There is no truth save for what you reconstruct out of a study which is the hight of human reason and porn is good for you. There is no intuition and you are a lie.
