Comment Easy question (Score 1) 387

"When was the last time you used a piece of chalk to express yourself?"

That would be this morning. Any other questions?

“Why do you expect a kid to go to school and sit in the same seat everyday with pens and paper?”

Um, because they use pens and paper at home too. Any more?

“So classroom—what classroom? Learning is anytime, anywhere. Kids are learning everywhere. As long as they have that device and they have that connectivity to the cloud, they can do their work anywhere. So that’s why the tools become so important.”

That's funny. When "the tools" are a pen and paper, the tools aren't so important and learning can actually be any time, any where. It's when you try to artificially tie the act of thinking to having a Microsoft(tm) Device(tm) connected to the Cloud(tm) that you lose the ability to "do work anywhere".

This is my lawn. You may get off of it now. You are dismissed.

Comment Did anybody ask the car's opinion? (Score 1) 408

From an interview with a Google Lexus 9000:

"How would you account for this discrepancy between you and the twin 9000?"

"Well, I don’t think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error."

"There has never been any instance at all of a computer error occurring in the 9000 series, has there?"

"None whatsoever, Frank. The 9000 series has a perfect operational record."

It wouldn't matter what criminal charges I was facing, I would be boldly laughing in the face of this moron who feels the need to go all "sci-fi" while at work, as if the Star Trek embellishments somehow helped here.

Are you suggesting that a court which listened to Prenda's John Steele and Paul Hansmeier, operating under the name 'Lightspeed Media Corporation', argue that Court ordered sanctions don't apply to them because they don't feel like paying, is still somehow dignified and above making references to something as banal as Skiffy? That a defendant who is considered an embarrassment to the entire legal profession cannot ever be subjected to ridicule?

More to the point, did you know that Prendateer John Steel already tried calling a district judge a moron and laughing in his face in his own courtroom, with predictable results.

If anybody has offended the dignity of the courts and running up the bill for the State of California before running off without paying, it was John Steele, Paul Hansmeier and Mark Lutz.

Perhaps after you have spent six years in law school, nine years in the Marine Corps, served as a county sheriff for eleven years and then put in twenty-five years as a practising lawyer before being appointed to sit in county and state courts, you too will be able to write legal decisions any way you like. Until then, there's always complaining on the Internet.
