Comment: Re:more tests need to be open book / open google (Score 3, Insightful) 85

right... if you cannot even discuss basic flags or basic concepts, but can google, that's all that's needed to be a good competent programmer, right? Because good enough is good enough.

no wonder USA is losing its edge, with this kind of thinking.

Open book tests are terribly difficult. When I took my legal courses they were all open book, my POA(provincial offences) tests? All open book, same with traffic law, again all open book. The very best of all these tests are written by instructors who know their material and write their own questions based on the material that they've taught through the year.

That means you not only need the book, but you need to understand it, and have attended the classes to make it through the exam. People think they sweat bullets on a 80 page exam? Hah. Try 13 pages, where it's all open book and you're required to break down a full construct question that's worth 10% of the exam mark.

Really? Odd that developers seem to be abandoning consoles, and even console gamers seem to be abandoning them in favor of the PC. The last two years have seen a pretty good resurgence. If you want to see some odd stats, look at some of the indie titles that sold so poorly on consoles but sold so well on PC's that they made enough to make a sequel.

So, how does this apply only to Fox?

Simple, the vast majority of people on /. lean left these days. These same people can't think coherently when it comes to Fox. Therefore anything relating to Fox drives them insane. Perhaps they should just go back to taking anti-psychotics or something?

I'll have to remember this story for future reference, so that the bastions of MSNBC, ABC, and CBS do something stupid, I can simply point back. I'd add CNN but considering they're about to collapse, no need to really worry.

And thus you have done as many of the SC's have done in the past. Taken a document and in turn changed it from what the framers have written, to something that 'lives and breathes' this is the fundamental flaw. When something is the prime law of the land that's it. You don't interpret it, it's that all other laws should be interpreted by it.

There is no separation of church and state in the constitution. Rather that the government shall not impose religion or establish a state religion and all people are entitled to practice whatever religion they so choose. Those are two fundamentally different things.

Incase it's hard to understand let's take it right from the page itself.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
