Educational Talk Cont...

Recently the Teachers have gone on strike because the Govt. is refusing to pay them, yet we find that hard to believe because "ALL" politicians "PROMISE" to fund education.

...yet they went on strike anyway, guess the politicians lied...again!

Instead of funding education they decided they wanted to play with their train set some more and want 15 billion dollars from the tax payers to pay for their little train set.

This is very confusing to us because we don't understand why they want to build more tracks and trains when jobs are going robotic.

Detroit robotized their workforce, the employees were laid off, small businesses failed because no one was working anymore and now you can buy a house for a dollar and no one can afford water.

Yet the children of Capital Hill want to play with their train set and are threatening to shut down the Govt. if they don't get their way...

Doesn't a child run to their room and shut the door and not let anyone in when they don't get their way? More than likely they are stomping their feet and refusing to eat their dinner as well ;-)

Meanwhile the ACLU is screaming and yelling at one of the most diverse schools in Washington and are complaining that the teachers are 75% white.

They are screaming and yelling at them that they can't teach students that are different colors other than white, and apparently all they have to do is yell at them :-P

Coincidentally enough the teachers are not only complaining that they aren't making any money, they are also complaining that they can't connect with their students because there are too many...

...in China they have over 1,000 people in a classroom and most of them are getting A's why, simple, because the parents are taking an interest in their children's academics.

Now here is the conundrum, China speaks Chinese, America speaks Chinese, French, Mexican/Hispanic/Spanish/Cuban, English, Russian, Checkloslavakian...you get the point, America supports all ethnic groups and because of that there is "ABSOLUTELY" no way one teacher (OF ANY COLOR) is going to be able to connect with all students.

As a matter of fact if you have one student that speaks English and another Student that speaks a language the teacher doesn't speak or understand than even if you reduced the class size to Two Kids, you'll already have a disconnect before the first bell rings!

You have to robotize the education system by an interactive software solution that allows kids to connect in all languages.

Mainstream teaching is an outdated model anymore and teaching is becoming more specialized for special needs children.

Oh and as for the little train set the State of Washington wants doesn't make sense, because everyone is losing their jobs to robots.

So the question is, will the robots have to ride to work on the little train? Or can they just be shut down when the whistle blows at work and the doors automatically lock or maybe not...

Robots don't have to eat, smoke, sleep, so really the shop can run 24/7, no one has to come and go to work, no trains need to run because no one has jobs anymore...and that's a fact!

We're In Love...

...and her name is Debian, and we love her all the way to her core...

Now if that sounds dirty, you might want to cover your ears and close your eyes, because we're about to get...nastyyyyyyyy...

Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run...
http://www.debian.org/

We're about to go 70/30, with a Dual Boot OS, Win 7 30% and a Debian Linux Core 70%...

Now of course we are still going to be buying a new Windows 10 phone when they come out, regardless if Debian stepped up their game and came out with a phone themselves.

We owe it to Microsoft because they got us here, so we owe it them, but believe us when we say it...if you don't step up your game MS, we'll leave you like a bad habit...and that's a fact!

...see ya' on the other side...

**UPDATE**

When someone says the grass in greener on the other side of the fence will depend on their interpretation of the hue they see...

There are many reasons why Debian is better than Windows, and just a few reasons why Windows is better than Debian.

Windows is a loose term anymore where MS used to be the hierarchy in the cliché, but now a days it's all about the Windows you see or use.

The install went great, you load your MS Windows first on 30gb then load your Debian.

Debian will automatically configure the grub for you which is your boot menu.

The Boot menu is your options of Debian boot or MS Windows boot. You'll use them individually, so after awhile you'll have to choose one or the other...

Debian loads a full on Office Program completely compatible with MS Office, but MS Windows won't load an Office Program on install.

Debian installs all updates and software on Install, MS Windows does not and requires you to download about a 1gb of updates before you can use it.

...you know, Important updates and...Optional Updates ;-)

Debian is Free, MS Windows is not, unless of course you bought 8.1 and are going to 10, then yes, it's free, but Debian is free.

As for Malware...this is the tricky part because there is no defense for a browser based attack, but there is software to prevent it going any further.

Apple users swore up and down they didn't need Malware protection and come to find out that they were hit harder in one year than MS Windows ever had, so we don't want to be an Apple.

We are not sure of what Malware protection to use, but for now we are using nothing like most people do.

There is a Firewall that you can install for free and some secure boot called UEFI Secure Boot is the boot path validation component of the UEFI specification (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)

We're not to sure about this and need some research on it, but we also hear it's a firmware update which could brick your computer, so we'll research ;-)

The one thing that didn't come over was our Wireless Card rtl8190 which of course was the one card that wasn't supported and apparently their is a blacklist driver download, but no success yet...

Otherwise we are pleased with the install and are glad we made the change.

We are still testing Softsphere on the Windows partition so that is why we decided to keep Windows, otherwise we would have went all in.

MS is supporting Linux Cloud solutions, which should be your first clue, "if you can't beat em' join em'...and that's a fact!

Patch Monday the 20th...

See sometimes we go a whole week without updating, oh well :-P

It's funny when we hear people get all weird about updates and start pointing fingers at MS and complain about it, but we look at it differently...they're free!

Plus people that complain about the updates are MS haters and don't realize that their Apple software needs updating too.

...that's goes for Linux users as well and all are free...for now...

Microsoft and other companies will start charging subscription fees soon enough because it's too expensive to manage software at the level we are at now for the price of admission.

Check your optional "free" updates also, once you finish installing your Important updates.

, but how do I...

Go to the ORB/Start/All Programs/Windows Update:



 
 

Now we have MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) and that is an update that we will need to do because we only install these once a month. Normally it downloads automatically, but since we shut off our updates we do it this way.

Skype is the other program that is in your optional updates and if you don't want Skype like we don't then all you do is right click on it and say, "Hide Update" then you go back to important updates and as you see there are 14 to do and...ALL FREE THANK YOU MICROSOFT!!!

Good Luck!

HAPPY 4:20 DAY!!!

It's National Marijuana smoking day, maybe even International ;-)

...MJ smokers actually call it weed, but for the newbies we wouldn't want to confuse them and find out they were picking up weeds in the field and trying to smoke them :-D

Smoke em' if you got em' because if Christie becomes president, he's gonna crack down...become president...yeah that's gonna happen NOT!!
