They are just building a goddamn canteen, people ! Move on...

No need to make money off something so abhorrent. Shame on anybody, who tries to.

Now that's a problem I would like to have...

The war can be blamed on the U.S, but to blame the looting and destruction of a national institution (by it's own people) on the absence of a foreign military force is just ridiculous.

There are hundreds, thousands maybe millions of mini-games out there. I believe what you need are mini-games for different areas of education, that will help students use what they are learning and understand what it's good for.

For example a physics game that has objects which all have standard properties and which are put into different situations. Easiest one could be you have the ground with a gravity constant (maybe the earth's or the moon's), a propulsive device with a customizable force, an object with properties like weight, size, etc. Goal is to input a formula that uses the right properties and that let's the ball fly into a target.

I find it would be especially helpful in math to see the applications of that you're learning.

So yes, if done properly e-learning is a viable and valuable option.

Even if we do succeed to convince them not to vote for this shit, it's high time for a public network accessible by anyone for free. A true peer network. The technology is there. What's missing is a public (non-government, fully democratic) body that agrees on open standards, tech ( network structure, access, protocols, etc.) to create a network that mostly (of course the optimal would be completely) bypasses anything that can be controlled by government (ISPs, DNS servers, etc.) . These should be optimally applicable by anybody (even those who are not tech savvy) aka. the general population.

Just a thought...

Since no windows version agrees with my hardware and presence of linux on the hd, it runs in a vm but only to run programs that don't run on wine (except games :( )

Looks like it's time for everybody to build a node (like so) to join a new free internet, free from all the paranoia and injustice.

A republican might argue that not supporting the police force is un-American...
