Unless she is getting her degree in the humanities, there will be parts of the lecture that include equations, graphs, and diagrams that are hard to input with a keyboard. Nothing beats handwriting for that sort of content.
Or, you know, a photograph of the whiteboard.
Sure Flash sucks. So does HTML. So does Silverlight. So do Java applets. I've done them all, and they're all crap. Could we please do something new?
Working in Silverlight right now, and I completely agree. I never thought I'd find a more screwed-up mess of markup and code than the usual web technologies (HTML,/CSS/JavaScript), but with Silverlight, M$ managed to create one.
I hate updating data using SQL. The need to have both INSERT and UPDATE statements, with their very different syntaxes, is a considerable drag on my time. I've worked with non-SQL DBMSs in the past, and it can be so very much easier.
Don't get me wrong, there's a lot I like about SQL, but my ideal database would support SQL for queries, but also provide simpler mechanisms for read by key and create/update/delete operations.
I'm pretty sure that the Medicis were total bastards. And why is an Italian family even on this list?
I went looking for it too, and... Oooh look! There's some lovely muck over 'ere!
Obviously. Catholics have always been back-door (heh) polytheists, which is why the Catholic model so easily morphed into Voodoo.
Why? The movie was incredibly lame. It was only saved by Jane Fonda's gorgeous, supple, young bod...
I'm sorry, I forgot what I was going to say.
Screw that. Just stay home. Watch pr0n and drink beer.
Shoulda got the 32GB. 16GB only lasted a week.
I enjoyed 6 well enough, but 7 and 8 lost me completely. Bringing back the annoying, superior Kochansky and losing the gritty, mining-ship feel of the sets and costumes did not go down well with me. Moreover, I liked the limited cast of the original seasons, so bringing back the crew didn't work for me either.
I'm also going to say that the nanobots were some of the most annoying dei ex machinae I've come across as well. Magic tech is fine, but only as long as it doesn't become godlike.
And that's without going into the writing. As others have pointed out, Grant/Naylor made a great team. Either one on his own, not so much.
Maybe I'm wrong, and they could succeed in rebooting the series, but I very much doubt it.
JP II was just another hidebound arsehat who blocked progress in all bust the least important directions. Condoms were off the table, and pedo-priests were at least as well shielded as they are today.
JP I, now, was showing some promise, which is probably why he had to go.
Bingo. I'm an old fart, but I always (well, mostly <g>) enjoy learning new tech.
I will add that it's not surprising that young hotshots get paid for the new tech that they know, if it's a scarcity economy. If the tech becomes pervasive, they can expect to suffer a significant haircut in future contracts. Consider the new guys as something akin to iPads. Give 'em a year, and they'll be old hat, and people won't be willing to pay quite so much.
That said, if you get left behind even further, you'll be worth about as much as a 486 running Windows 95. Try to keep up, OK?
My bad. I meant "multiple rows".
