Standardized tests have much in common with French fries. Both of them differ in composition as well as quality. French fries are available in numerous incarnations, including straight, curly, skins-on, skins-off, and, in recent years, with sweet potatoes. Regarding quality, of course, the taste of French fries can range substantially – from sublime to soggy. It’s really the same with standardized tests.
-
Take the No Child Left Behind Act, for instance, a federal accountability law requiring scads of standardized tests to be used in evaluating schools. Do you know that almost all of the standardized tests now being employed to judge school quality are unable to distinguish between well taught and badly taught students?

-
Attribution, in the form of a thorough “Works Cited” section of a document or project, does NOT guarantee full copyright compliance in the United States. Judges ruling on intellectual property cases never write, “The defendant created a great bibliography, so I find find him not guilty of these charges.”
-
We would never accept the following entry in a written, student bibliography in a research paper: "I found this information in the school library."
-
We should not accept student media projects which include similar, non-specific attribution statements like “Images from Google” or “Images from Flickr.”

Numericable dévoile son projet de croissance pour le « nouveau » SFR, High-Te... - 2 views

Environ 20 % des gens vont migrer [du réseau fixe ADSL de SFR vers le câble].

(il projette une hausse du chiffre d'affaires de 2 % à 5 % par an) et de la rentabilité (40 % de taux de marge consolidé)
-
Non seulement la future entité achètera moins d'ADSL en gros à Orange, mais, en plus, elle va renégocier l'accord conclu entre SFR et Orange pour le codéploiement et le co-investissement dans la fibre optique en zone moyennement dense. Autrement dit, Numericable ne veut plus faire de la fibre là où il y a déjà du câble, et pourrait proposer à Orange de co-investir dans son câble.

EFF Wins New Legal Protections for Video Artists, Cell Phone Jailbreakers, and Unlocker... - 7 views
-
The new rule holds that amateur creators do not violate the DMCA when they use short excerpts from DVDs in order to create new, noncommercial works for purposes of criticism or comment if they believe that circumvention is necessary to fulfill that purpose.
-
"Noncommercial videos are a powerful art form online, and many use short clips from popular movies. Finally the creative people that make those videos won't have to worry that they are breaking the law in the process, even though their works are clearly fair uses. That benefits everyone — from the artists themselves to those of us who enjoy watching the amazing works they create," added McSherry.
