Vista v.s Ubuntu + Beryl

theneb says...

" percent of people with sufficient knowledge and a few hours free to set up vista? ~80%

percent of people with sufficient knowledge and hundreds of hours of free time needed to edit obscure etc/fstab files and trawl through myriad man pages, usenet posts and incomprehensible command line codes needed to set up a linux distro with beryl? .0000000000001%"

This simply isn't the case anymore, PLEASE use Ubuntu and see how things have changed. 90% of things that users need to do on Ubuntu is done via gui's and it's improving.

Also wiki's (such as Ubuntu's) have now replaced the need for end users to consult man's.

But in the end it's your choice, do you want to pay a lot of money for an OS or choose a free one?

Chris Simon dirty shot at Hollweg = 25 Match ban

theneb says...

I *just* joined sport, so now tag (for now)

It'll be interesting what happens to Simon, certainly I don't think NY will pick up his contract again, but he won't just be left out to dry (besides him being a damn dirty player)

The 8 Million Dollar Car (Maybach Exelero)

Yeah she pretty much sucks as car reviews, go back to forbes.
This car looks like pretty much a rip off the veyron and as a result the car is extremely long compared.
But if she reviews any more cars she needs to seriously improve her anecdotes.

With regards the horsepower, afaik the veyron has 1000hp...

Math Education: An Inconvenient Truth

theneb says...

How very odd all this is,
the second method is certainly strange but it's building upon a higher abstraction of the problem.
But her claim that the books that scare her don't have algorithms is wrong, they all have algorithms but some just use abstract algebra.

But I do find it a bit wierd how they are getting students to think about such a simple thing as multiplication in terms of algebra before teaching them algebra.

But yes these methods can start to prepare students for some higher level maths thinking, but without it done in such depth to keep their little brains working then it's pointless.

Any standard maths education runs on the principles that you are taught the fundamental ways just to do problems and then you look back at how you did them later.

Within this video however I do not feel her as a trustworthy source on all these topics,
Firstly she's reading someone else's script constantly and then there's her recommendations. Oh and the who are you factor.

"A University professor told me students couldn't do 4x4" - Erm what? Reference or else I don't believe you.

There's some basic rules if the roads are like that but nobody every gets to practice them.

The first being that if it's snowing like that it's a good idea not to drive unless it's an emergency or if you know how to stop.

Other things include using your breaks correctly by pumping your breaks and not constantly keeping it pressed down.
