Unless you ARE the "ipv6 conversion specialist"...

A valid point, but does this mean that people who go to the theatre (you know, the one with real live humans) get radically different experiences?

I think a better way to look at it is as a separate medium which exists somewhere between theatre and cinema.

Buckazoids.

And that's because I frankly don't care what currency I use as long as I can buy food, water, internet, heating etc (although not always prioritised in that order).

Being able to finally afford that Orat-on-a-stick I've been wanting for my whole damn life is merely a bonus.

Technically, you're both.

As well as the user, consumer, content creator etc etc.

Bar the infrastructure, it runs itself for it's target audience.

Of course you need to get the technical language correct, that's the one aspect they DO grade you on.

However I'm talking about the conventional words used. Whether or not someone can spell "whether" instead of "wether" doesn't directly reflect on their ability to understand thermodynamics or whatever. However a spell-checker will allow them to fix the basic English grammar and also make it easier to mark for the teachers.

That's not at all what I'm saying.

I'm saying that in English class you should be marked for your skills in using English and in other classes you should be marked for the knowledge taught in those classes.

Do we really need to have these grades overlap and make it harder for the people who are trying to mark the work fairly?

In a language subject such as English then spelling is a major part of the whole. And an understanding of correct spelling is very important for when you don't have access to spell-checkers.

However for any other subject they shouldn't be marked on what they're already getting marked on in English class. That overlap is simply not required imho... And the real world today lets people use spell checkers, so why not in non-English classes like the various sciences.

In my first year of computer sciences at my school we had a teacher who understood computers and, frankly, was a geek.

He gave me top grades because I did everything right.

The second year he got replaced by a woman who only knew what her "computer sciences" manual told her to teach us... This led to me getting a lower grade since she didn't understand my methods, like using "Hot-keys" etc.

Long story short the quality of these courses vary wildly depending on the teacher and his/her experience level.

Listen up kids, today we're going to learn about:

Planet Colbert
Planet 4chan
Planet McDonalds

I don't want the comeback of any old OS.

If anything I'd like an entirely new OS which takes the best bits from everything without the worst bits of everything else.

I'm sure that statement causes much conflict as to what is the "best" and "worst" as peoples preferences differ, but hey... This is all about a theoretical OS revival anyway, I might as well shoot for the stars.

I can't say I've experienced it personally, but I have heard friends of mine gasp at particular models of cars such as lamborghinis.

I saw the folding city in Inception and thought "Holy fuck, that is cool". I guess I must have been the only one then?

There will always be room for movies focused around spectacles and eye candy because of visceral thrill... Perhaps the article writer has lost his ability to suspend his disbelief, but I was loving every second of the sfx (actors floating) and vfx (folding buildings) of Inception.

Hard work pays off in the long run, but laziness pays off now.

Do we have to feed it over time? Eventually it would run out of material to stretch and break down, right? It can't just make material out of thin air.

Also not sure about the benefit of creating our very own hornet overlords of Mars.

That is if they learn to eat rocks, and then we're really boned.
