Shall I just tell under which rock my house key is hidden?

Why would I give out my ideas here? I'm sure there are bad guys lurking here too

How will schools manipulate women and girls info CS rather than biology or chemistry in order to get more money for teachers.
Will girl computer scientists be worth more to an employer than boys?
I know that there are those out there who refuse to believe that some people have innate talents and everything is nurture and not nature - but coercing girls intoa field to get more money for teachers will result in a lot of unhappy coders who might have been happy architects or MDs - or even (gasp) writers or artists.

This will be great for helping burglars avoid people who might be able to kill them.

Rather than making flying as easy as boarding a train the govt would make boarding a train as bad as boarding a plane. The appeal of Amtrak from Boston to points south and west is lower cost and less humiliation.

More evidence on how consumers are willing to accept lower standards in their media. "News" programs invite views to submit their video and pictures for broadcast. This means cell quality images and even worse sound. Yet we accept it. Yes iPhones take decent pictures for personal use and Facebook, but do we really want history recorded with a cheap lens and someone who has no natural talent for composing a shot. I can't wait to see pictures of the president, Prime Minister of England and the PM of Canada posing huddled close together with their heads leaning into each other like a sorority reunion in a bar.

It seems like every Sears and KMart I've ever been in while there was heavy rain showed leaks in the roof. Unless they plan on using that as auxiliary cooling I sure hope the structures are carefully evaluated prior to putting infrastructure in.

While I understand the motivation, this will backfire. How will a little guy be able to pay the bill when he or she has to sue IBM or Ford for a patent infringement. A new troll will develop. One who will pay for the legal fees in exchange for a modest percentage of the profits. And with an endless appeals process - that could end up in the millions.

Ramping up production in the US is more of a political issue than a technical one.
You have to hire employees, which in certain heavily unionized states, is closer to adopting them. You have to file environmental impact statements on every aspect of the project, including truck traffic to and from your site. Approvals need to be obtained from local, state and federal agencies all of which operate at their own pace. By the time this is done, your Asian and even your EU competition has beaten you to the punch.

I would rather see the jobs here, but I sort of understand the pressure the companies are under.

I think I would rather not have my life recorded. There are moments that I'm glad fade with time, the death of a loved one, that first traumatic break up, the work screw up that cost you your job.

I kind of like the fact that in my memories I was not that awkward as a teen, that I was a better athlete and student. Call it repression, but I think Im better off.

The moments that I want to remember, graduation, getting married and those special vacations are all recorded enough for me.

Besides there are two downsides I can think of. The first is, what if your prom date doesn't want that backseat encounter taped and the second is imagine when meeting someone for the first time, they don't tell you about themselves over dinner, you have to sit an watch the last three years.

You want a record, keep a journal with photos or short videos - leave the documentaries to someone else.

Unless this is an informal meet the potential boss it may be a mistake.
Companies seem to feel that anyone can conduct an interview but not everyone can. You should be trained by your company in the rules and laws regarding interviewing. Even an innocuous question like "So, do you have any kids?" - meant to break the ice - could be used in a lawsuit if someone feels their having or not having kids was a reason for not getting the job.

You should also be trained on the company's policy for interviewing.

Lack of interview training could also cause you to pass over a really good candidate because YOU failed to ask the right questions.

Not long ago I ran into a man who was a teacher of mine many years ago. He is now an education professor. He thinks that the schools are focused on the wrong issues. He says we need better teachers, more accountability and a more challenging curriculum. The length of the school year or the length of the school day is not relevant. He still backs summer vacations.

Just another political sop to try to keep the support of public unions. Obama's proposal is just more of the hot button words strung together to get votes. If he is re-elected and this doesn't go through - he will blame others. If it goes through - what happens when the money runs out? The local school systems have to pick up the burden,

  You want to improve education? Then educate. Stop with all the self-esteem oriented programs and stop having special programs to prevent dropping out. Spend the money on real motivated students. You can have a night school, like Conway NH's Eagle Academy, to give the dropouts a way back in when they realize that $12 an hour job is not nearly as sweet as they thought it would be.

What they call English in even a thousand years may not have a lot in common with what we call English. Remember your first attempt at reading Shakespeare, never mind Chaucer.
Pictures may be best. As was said a skull may mean nothing. Especially if the finder is non human. They may not have skulls.

One question before we make this a federal case for some congressmen to get cheap publicity, how often has this happened? Are going on a couple of anecdotes about over zealous recruiters or is this now in the HR manual of cliches along with "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
