I am a veteran nonprofit sector worker and I can say that it isn't much better over here either. Unpaid interns are strung along to think that the internship will benefit them in some way, but they are made to do the shit work that other people don't want to do. Then people take credit for the work of the intern.

The part that rankles me the most is that whatever modicum of benefit an unpaid intern gains is the small leg-up that one needs to become a "professional" in the world. Poor people and those who are otherwise disadvantaged for not fitting in to the norm are cut out of the loop. Anyone who actually can't afford to work for free will continue to work waged jobs and exacerbate the social stratification we currently live under.

Then all of the middle-class white people at the nonprofit whine, "why don't we have any diversity?!"

SHHHHHHH!!!

Look. If cheating gets kids excited about learning new things, good! Can you remember the last time you got all sweaty and your heart rate increased thinking about a new technology? It is good! Grading is really unnecessary and just serves to filter out kids that might otherwise have a great learning experience.

Had to be said.

Karma to the first person to submit a link to where you can actually order one. When do they go on sale?

Yay, something new to be hysterical about! Finally! A friend of mine was locked up when he was in middle school. They used to get high by breathing heavily, then strangling each other until they passed out. They called it "getting high'. Outlaw breathing!!

Fuck.

Computrace (R)
Disable - Deactivate - Activate

This field lets you Activate or Disable the BIOS module interface of the optional Computrace (R) Service from Absolute(R) Software. The Computrace agent from Absolute Software is a service solution designed to help track assets and provide recovery services in the event the notebook is lost of stolen. The Computrace agent communicates with the Absolute Software Monitoring Server at programmed intervals to provide the tracking service. By activating the service, you consent to the transmission of information from and to your computer and the Absolute Software Monitoring Server. The Computrace service is purchased as a separate option and the monitoring Server will enable its agent security module through an interface provided by the BIOS. The Computrace tracking agent can only be used in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Computrace(R) and Absolute(R) are registered trademarks of Absolute Software Corporation.

Disable = Permanently block the Computrace module interface.
Deactivate = Block the Computrace module interface (Default).
Activate = Permit the Computrace module interface.

The Absolute Anti-Theft solution is Disabled. You cannot change the setting.
