Site has been updated to support the iPhone 4.0 software and phone. | |
| | castro25
did you get one? | |
| | crisscross
Nope not at all. However their were some changes in the new 4.0 software. They are processing images as PNG now instead of jpg. So the Shiznip txt messaging portion had to be modified to support this. - | |
| | danielle0862
so, jerry says I can have the iphone 4 for my wedding gift. :/ Im getting him the ipad. but i don't know if i want an iphone 4 if no one i know is going to have it. That's kind of pointless. lol! | |
| | crisscross
Sis be sure todo your researc before getting the iPhone 4 | |
| | castro25
I would advise against it at this point and time. Wait till the white one comes out at least. Hopefully that will be fixed. | |
| | danielle0862
I know. we won't get it til later after all the kinks are out, ive heard all the bad stuff about it. but since i updated my 3g it runs like shit! | |
| | crisscross
Did u update to the 4-0-1 software. Be sure to power ur phone off every now and again. That's what I have to do. | |
| | castro25
I am doing up to 4 hard boots a week now. Thinking of taking it into the apple store for a diagnostic run, but they most likely will only tell me to wipe and reload it. | |
| | crisscross
Yea me too. Before the update I wasn't hardly ever doing reboots. It's the multi-threading I'm sure. | |
| | castro25
Yeah, I have noticed that in the games upgraded for 4.01 makes my 3GS run like original model. | |
|
| dena1984
Since I am enjoying every ones feedback to my topics, here is another one for you.
Is there a
fundamental problem with either sanctioning persistently low-performing
schools or rewarding high-performing and/or improving schools?
This question is based on the No Child Left Behind Act.
| |
| | crisscross
Please explain. Lol | |
| | castro25
no comment | |
| | vscheffler1
I believe there is a problem in sanctioning low performance schools, because with out sanctioning, or not enough sanctioning in the low performance of schools maybe they would better to become higher performance. I think? | |
|
| dena1984
?? A Texas legislator recently introduced a bill allowing ten-year-olds to be executed. Should juveniles be allowed to be executed? Why or why not? | |
| | vscheffler1
I dont think so, I think although they should serve the time for the crime they committed. They are still young and I think if it was a murder or any other terrible crime, they should definetely stay in jail or a proper place for Juveniles. and they need to get evaluated. And get proper treatment. And if they dont ever get out of jail, then as they grow older, maybe they should be put with the older inmates. But really just depends on their psychological evaluation. Kids at that age that maybe have killed some one, have something terribly wrong with them. But I dont think they should be executed. They are still children in the eyes of God. | |
| | castro25
I agree, however some of these kids are crazy and I dont think they can be helped. | |
| | crisscross
Omg. U got to be kidding right? | |
| | dena1984
Should a line be drawn between age and severity of the crime committed? | |
| | crisscross
I think so | |
| | vscheffler1
Yes I think a line should be drawn,,, maybe 16 - 17 and up for capital punishment, but then it depends on that individual...Theres usually something very wrong when a person that young does a severe crime...But I think E1 should be punished for any crime they commit, but it just depends on the severity, and the age..... | |
| | vscheffler1
Very True Castro some can not be helped, and will be in an institution for the rest of their Life, again depending on the severity of the Crime... | |
|
| dena1984
Thought for the day: Does TV influence childrens behavior? | |
| | vscheffler1
Yes I believe it does, depending on what they are watching. | |
| | dena1984
This is a question that I have to answer for my class. I am really liking this class. We get to express our opinions on certain topics. This is one of them. Just wanted to see what everyone else thought also. | |
| | danielle0862
Most def does! | |
| | castro25
I dont think it influences behavior if the parents are around to teach them right. I DO however believe it influences the childrens buying habbits, and by that I mean it tells them what to beg the parents to buy them | |
| | dena1984
Here's another thought to add to it. . .
Do you think the government should be able to regulate what children watch? | |
| | castro25
Nope, that's what v-chips and parental channel locks are for | |
| | crisscross
I day yes it does. The funny thing is most of the time parents give in because they don't want to hear the wining. So to answer your question yes. But to add my 2 cents. Parents are the boss and we need to stop being lazy lol. | |
| | castro25
Amen to that | |
| | vscheffler1
I dont think the Gov. should regulate anything in our lives as far as telling us how to raise our children, and what they can and can not do. I believe if your a good parent then you should know what is right and wrong for your children. And some parents cant be there 24/7 to watch to make sure your child doesnt watch some crazy stuff on tv. And those parental controls, believe me they do find ways to get into it. And when they are not at home and else where. Well you just have to instill in them the good and the bad, and hopefully they will grow up knowing, what you have taught them... | |
| | dena1984
Another thought to keep the ball rolling . . . Do you think that cartoons now days are more violent than when you were younger?
Castro- thanks for bringing up the parental controls and the v-chip, something that didn't even occur to me. I agree with everyone that it all starts in the home, it all starts with the values that you instill in your kids. When I am done writing my response to the paper I will post on here and let you know how I did. Thanks for all of your help! | |
| | castro25
I believe that todays cartoons are sooo watered down compared to those made from 1930 to 1975 that there is no way to compare them. Early cartoons are full of adult innuendos that would make some people blush in embarrassment if they were shown the full versions of them today. Most of the cartoons today on syndication have been heavily edited for todays standards. Here is a link of some that you can reference for yesterdays style of cartoon that did make it to children at one time or another. [HERE IS THE LINK] You can look on youtube and google video for more. | |
| | vscheffler1
I do believe that the cartoons are more violent than they were back when I was young. Of course I remember watching Davy and Goliath, and Gumby, woody wood pecker, Under Dog, etc... but then again it just depends on which ones they watch. If they watch Handy Mandy for the rest of their growing up years, they'll be okay. But if they watch, Gargoyles, well thats a different story, lol. Just my opinion.... | |
| | castro25
I loved Gargoyles. They are trying to make a movie out of it as we speak. | |
