Hey AC? Who are you that you post off-topic political stuff on literally every forum I read no matter what is being discussed? Why do you do it? Is it entertaining? We get it. You love Conservatism. Do you think you maybe need a hobby? Like hacky sack, or model airplanes?

They're not as safe as people driving cars, which currently achieve 1.25 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles. They won't be that safe for a long time, and they need to be a lot safer, since we won't find them nearly as forgivable.

Microwave them.

Good idea. I'll try it.

Hey everybody. I make stuff (educational games mostly) and put it on the Internet and I don't charge anything for that stuff. I don't run ads on my websites. I use HTML5 to make my games, because I believe in open web standards, and I want my games to keep working forever.
Two of my games broke.
I can't add the click callback fix, because both games don't even use the mouse (keyboard only), and load with the game in a centered div. Neither game is fixable, unless I tell my users to click, for no reason, other than Google is stupid.
I don't like ads either, but I think everybody should follow the rules.

Might I suggest you check out my CC-Licensed book of 4th grade mathematical programming lessons in Scratch:

I teach 4th grade, and the book follows the math curriculum as it progresses during the school year. In my experience, a mathematically precocious 8-year-old will be able to grasp much of it.

I'm the Google site admin for my elementary school where I teach 4th grade. That makes me responsible for maintaining my class's passwords, as well as the passwords of five other classes - that's nearly 200 4th and 5th grade kids with a fairly transient population. The Google username scheme is non-negotiable because of security issues and committee decision making and consists of the first three letters (if there are three) of the first name, the first three (if there are three) letters of the last name, and the first three digits of their numerical student ID (which they do not know). The password scheme I came up with has the kids choosing two words from a table of common four-letter words. They put those words together with the last digit of their year of birth. They must use this username and password to even get into the Chromebook for most purposes (anything that involves document editing). The classroom app that Google unveiled this Fall is awesome. It's simple and perfect for what it does. I have the kids write their username and passwords down on a post-it. Secure enough. 90% of them have no problem remembering it, but some of them come with their shoes on the wrong feet, so I've been satisfied. I just set the other kids passwords manually after making them write it neatly on a post-it note and usually finding their error. The only third-party thing I use is Scratch, and I make my kids manage their own credentials (I offer a post-it). Scratch is amazing and my kids are motivated to manage it themselves. Scratch, by the way, could be the best thing to happen to math in 200 years of education if people would stop teaching math and start doing math. [Brag warning] Check these out, and tell me you wouldn't have died to build them in 4th grade: http://goo.gl/pHF6Hd We do one every week now.

Cool. I emailed you from my school email address.

No I hadn't. There are good deals. Looks like some of the ~$6 ones would work. Our budget situation is pretty terrible right now (California budget cuts). The district has laid off about 75 teachers.

We'll take them. Elementary school with 80% free/reduced lunch. We tried to buy flash drives for all our fifth graders so they could work on their state reports at home and the public library. We found a vendor selling 1gig drives for $3.00 each, ordered 75 of them, and were told that they only had 3 available at that price. Anyway, if you send them to us, I'll have the kids write your christmas cards for you. How's that?
