There's a good podcast called "Remembering Yugoslavia." https://rememberingyugoslavia.com/

The bill to watch on age verification is S-209 (the "S" because it originates in the Senate). Section 12(2) includes the requirements for potential verification methods. https://ww…

This -- and you might just learn how to conduct some research along the way.

Avoid the theory-heavy disciplines. You won't be told what to think (as often) if you take History and Geography rather than Sociology and Gender Studies.

Interesting. I'll have to keep an eye out for this!

Do you have any evidence to back this up or is it speculative? My institution subscribes to TurnItIn's AI detector. The documentation is quite clear that the system is tuned in a m…

This assumes that the assignments and the exam cover the same material. That's not always the case.

So I'm guessing that this is what those stylish wood grain Weatheradio cubes in the Radio Shack catalog were for?

It's missing one: gopher://hngopher.com/1

You might be better off with duckduckstart.com instead. It's the best of both worlds: you get Google results via startpage by default and can use duckduckgo !bangs when necessary.

Good point. Perhaps that's what's happened here.

Why did they ban the user rather than informing American intelligence and continuing to monitor the user? They just gave up a source that could have provided info for years.

I've been using Nova Launcher to mimic webOS for almost 10 years. I might be slightly too resistant to change!

I'm still using an old version with the network access blocked. I'll use it until it stops working. If anyone knows of another launcher with app drawer tabs, let me know.

My house once had knob and tube wiring. Over the past 15 years I have replaced most of what I assume is the second-generation cloth-covered wiring (which dates back to the 40s, 50s…

I am also not a professional programmer, but learned enough C to do some programming on hobby projects a few years back. I started with Ashley Mills' videos on YouTube: https://www…

I love this. Now I'll be able to read student papers with ads in the middle. "Are you enjoying our exploration of state Shinto in late nineteenth century Japan? Visit Kyoto with Ja…

I believe this is a crafty method of reviving "Participaction" without Hal and Joanne. Well played, Mr. Carney!

Not quite. Late in the war, the British Navy landed British troops who burned the White House. About 85% of all Canadian militiamen remained at home when called up in 1812. In 1812…

It dates back to the construction of Kingston Penitentiary. They needed a rule to determine who would serve their time in local prisons and who would be sent to the Pen.

Check out the Mudita Kompakt.* *not priced like a Kindle :)

Hi there, I had several BlackBerry phones, including a Passport SE. For productivity apps, nothing compared with the Bold 9900. So snappy and minimalistic. The memos, calendar, mes…

I get it. My major concern was that students were cheating online (nearly 50% if I was detecting them all) who I didn't think would have cheated in the classroom. I didn't like the…

I think problem number one is that you had 200 exams to grade.

I've never stopped using them, with the exception of the pandemic year, when we were forced to run online exams. Why replace a system that generally works well with one that introd…
