Re:Top Hat Raises $22M to Go After Pearson, McGraw-Hill on Wednesday February 15, 2017 @01:23PM (#13654121)
So the cost should be pushed onto me instead? I understand the struggles of adjuncts and grad-students as they were most of my friends in Undergrad because I came into school older. But not one of them used Top Hat or a clone equivalent.

I absolutely hated Top Hat during my undergrad. It was just another thing I had to buy that teachers used as an excuse to be lazy because it was ~interactive~. You were so tied to a device for all your classes that if multiple teachers used it it wound up becoming a pain.

I noticed it was mostly instructors who taught one-off elective/strictly credit classes that used it in almost a punitive way to make sure you paid attention to them.

edit - another ironic thing regarding the title of the article, is that the instructors would upload the Pearson, McGraw, etc provided slides with the textbook to tophat.

Do it then, bud.

You want the web server to be an add-on so you can feel more hardcore?

So it's not just me but the grammar of other languages as well! Good to know.
Re:Speaking While Female on Monday January 12, 2015 @11:56AM (#8874904)
Yeah I agree the term female has this almost creepy de-humanizing sound to it.
Why make just a bridge when you can put a toll on it too!
It's silly to think capitalists care where money comes from.
Re:Are You a Robot? Introducing “No CAPTCHA ReCAPTCHA” on Wednesday December 03, 2014 @11:55AM (#8694798)
Wouldn't it be possible to just tune bots easier now instead of having to work with OCR?

Then he wouldn't bring attention to his consultancy firm. "Gee, these guys sure did show the Yahoo CEO! We need to hire them!" Says the MBA.

I don't think one sentence is too much to ask, I hit the back button because I couldn't figure out what their product did within a short amount of time.
