Slashdot Mirror

The aging process can result in diminishing pupil size; this, in turn, results in less light reaching the retina of an aging person. According to The Eye Digest, the average 20-year-old's eye receives approximately 6 times more light than the average 80-year-old's.

Only true in strict essays. In a slashdot thread? Come now. Be reasonable... or you're unreasonable. ;)

That's two statements. I'll provide evidence that the best special needs care is private. I'm actually shocked you're questioning that one. This is going to be easy.

From google...

All private in dallas... at least according to ehow :D
http://www.ehow.com/info_7899398_schools-learning-disabled-dallas-texas.html

schools explicitly for learning disabled kids...
http://privateschool.about.com/od/schoolsneeds1/tp/toplearning.htm

I have to wonder, what would you consider as evidence here? Do you honestly think the federally mandated programs at the public school serviced by teachers with no special training in dealing with such children is going to compete with institutions that are set up from the ground up to address the problem?

You're basically arguing McDonalds is better at making sushi... then a sushi chef. I don't know if there is a study for that either I could quote, but it seems like a hard argument to argue.

The private schools hire specialists and have customized programs.

Another thing that is great about private schools is that they're incredibly diverse. None of them are the same. They're all different. And rather then a weakness that's a strength. Because while ALL public schools seem capable of showing degeneration the private schools have successes and failures. And that's something we can learn from. IF everyone fails that doesn't tell us very much. It just tells us what we're doing isn't working. But if we have successes and failures then clearly we need to stop doing what the failures are doing and do more of what the successes are doing.

Ultimately, I like the voucher system because it gets the government out of education, gives parents more how their kids are taught, makes the parents more active in the child's education, and solves all the silly political battles we've been having over education for years.

If we go full voucher then all the political problems with education are gone. Pick the school you want. Don't like that school? there are five more to take its place. And unlike the existing system where they won't let you leave and will keep bad schools on life support. In the Voucher system bad schools that no one likes die. No life support. Dead. And from the ashes new schools... hopefully wiser then their predecessors.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964
This legislation prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender or national origin. The law exempts religious organizations. If the reason for firing is arbitrary but is not included in a protected class, the firing is legal. For example, an employer cannot fire a woman for being Cambodian but can fire her because he does not like women who wear large, golden earrings or something equally capricious.

Sounds like I'm right. So what's your point?

What is the point of this? Sure, you could have one window as a giant TV screen, or you could connect it to your laptop and have it as a giant PC screen, but you would not write your thesis by tapping on the onscreen keyboard on your window. You could use this to make the window dark to block out the sun, like those welding filters that auto darken when you spark up the welding arc. That would be very useful for north facing windows. That way you would save money on blinds, if you wanted something actually useful.

Think my numbers are off by a lot? I'll be happy to read any citations you might find on the subject. But, no matter what numbers we might find, we'll just come back to the fact that in olden days, iron men in wooden ships went out to take a modest number of whales from the sea. Today, men go out in huge iron factory ships to process entire pods of whales.

By 1500 most of the desirable whales in the Bay of Biscay were gone. The large sailing ships ventured further and further away – as far as Newfoundland.
However, by the early 1600 and 1700s commercial merchant ship owners realized the profits of the whaling trade and a shift began toward large scale whaling by companies.
1500-1800, Europeans (Dutch, English, Basques, etc) were actively fishing the Atlantic, and not just single ships, but fleets of a couple dozen or more.

We have been doing this for a long, long time.

I blame poor tolerances in the computer's PCMCIA slot - too much clearance let the card shift enough that the pins didn't quite line up. This seemed to be a common problem back in PC cards were popular - we always ended up with a computer or two at the office with pins mangled so badly that we had to replace the PCMCIA slot module.

Apparently I'm not the only one to have this problem, since the howto guide on fixing the pins mentions the problem:

http://www.ehow.com/how_8690286_fix-bent-cardbus-pins.html

hey guess what, dude? if you manage to mangle it irretrievably, then thanks to the modular design you've only got one part to replace, not the entire device, eh? is that good apples or what? :)

I could ask the same about you and PCMCIA cards. I have had many, SCSI, NIC, modem, Wifi, and USB 2.0 and used them extensively and interchangably. I never managed to bend any pins.
Same thing with USB, though.

However, the pins in the slot where the card connects can sometimes bend, making it impossible to insert the card into the slot. Forcing the card to insert will only make the problem worse and can bend other pins

Just put all your movies on a shelf in alphabetical order. If you have LOTS of them, then use a more orderly system. For the 5 seconds it takes to manually swap out a disc to watch a one or two hour movie, anything else is massive overkill.

Lol, I must be talking to a non-IT person here, which is rare on this site, but here you go dude, let me break it down for you.

1. you don't need a separate computer
2. you need something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815100049 at under $100, if you can't / don't want to do HDMI divide that cost by 2 for analog connections. Notice the IN & the OUT connectors. Find free software, though I hear the paid stuff is much nicer, I wonder if VLC can do this? :)

Kind of, might have to play w it to do it direct, http://www.ehow.com/how_7162998_save-comcast-dvr-pc.html

Seriously the reason I DONT do this is cause i can watch netflix on any device anywhere, not so w the dvr unless I want to set up a media server kind of app which to me on the trade off is worth $8 a month, not $16 though.

Making for personal use and research is protected.

I don't believe it is

Brown & Michaels Frequently Asked Questions on PATENTS says: "It [A patent] is a right to stop others from making, using or selling - any one of these. Thus, even if an infringer were to make the invention in a foreign country, he could not sell it in the USA. Similarly, it is still an infringement if the invention is made in this country but exported immediately, or if a person buys the invention overseas and uses it in the USA for their own use - there is no "personal use" exception for patent infringement.

ehow.com says: "Fair Use with Patent Law
There is no equivalent law for patents to the U.S. fair use clause which applies to copyright. Other countries have a patent law with similar applications, but there is no provision that allows a general exemption from liability when using a patent without obtaining a license from the patent holder.

OLEDs have terrible color, its over-saturated and makes people think the image looks better in a subjective way. ((S)AM)OLED is to cellphones as glossy screens are to laptops. Do a Pepsi challenge with a iPhone or even an original Droid, versus a Galaxy Nexus in a dark room, versus watching the image on a proper screen.

Pentile doesn't help either with the blacks or contrasty images.

Offtopic: I considered glossy screens to be superior due to the light passing through undisturbed, rather than them being oversaturated.

I don't think you quite understand how tint works.

Give this a read: http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4597153_window-tint-work.html

Basically blocks out a percentage of the visible spectrum as well as infrared and UV.

So yes, it would actually reduce the temperature the car would be w/o tint.

A clever Toronto survey found that panhandlers made about $30 a day. That's not much of a living. I spent about 20 minutes chatting with a panhandler outside the Chinese Garden in Vancouver who told me a wonderful hard luck story. It was well worth the $5 I gave him.

Copyrights COST money to "defend," and do not offer the same stringent protection that trademarks do. Social networks provide a different issue: "understanding what is not protected by copyright, including names, titles, simple recipes, short phrases, and ideas" (see this link).

Nothing given to us for free comes with any REAL rights, especially when you want those rights *by proxy.* Where henceforth referred to by the social network EULA as "the free-loaders" who think they can store those "names, titles, simple recipies and short phrases" indefinitely without anything to lose. We must remember that the services claim ownership of anything and everything you post --just like many employers who claim ownership of any of the unrelated code that you create AT HOME while "inspired" by being under their payroll.

The correct answer "depends on jurisdiction," but in most jurisdictions, witnessing a felony without reporting it is itself a felony. So, no, you are wrong about that.

I'm pretty sure you are wrong about that. But if you would like to provide a citation that shows otherwise I would love to see it.

http://www.ehow.com/video_4432449_use-plus-sign-google-search.html

Let's see how the plus sign affects our searches. The plus sign in front of a term forces Google to use that term in its search. In other words, it forces Google to search for that term. And this is convenient for two scenarios, one is that is that if you have small words like the word the, or at, or and, about, after for, those words are called stop words and Google usually does not search for them. It usually will only search for the main word, the object word and it will disregard those small words. So, if you want Google to search for that word, included in your search you can always put a plus sign next to it, and now it will have to search for that term follows the sign, and don't put any space after the plus sign. It should be a plus that's right next to the word. The other scenario where the plus sign comes in handy is when you want to tell Google to search for a specific term and not use any similarities to that term. Like, for example, the search of favorite book. Now Google will probably come up with results that are, could be, a list of books, because it's going to take the singular and it's going to apply it to, it's going to also search for the plural of books. Or because the word book is found in the plural form of the books, without the s at the end. So it's going to give you long list, but if you only wanted to search for the singular for favorite book and not return lists, you can put a plus sign before the word book and Google will be forced to only return results, bring up results that only have the word book and not books in the plural. So this forces Google to use that specific search term.

One of the things that you may have observed about fire drills is that they are widely advertized in advance, specifically to prevent the panic response which will cause injuries.

No, quite the opposite. I have observed that they are not advertised in advance. This may be a difference between the countries we live in, or just of individual experience. The approach I'm familiar with is that in neither the practice nor a real fire should people have a panic response because when the alarm goes it is something they're used to through regular unannounced practices in a variety of venues and they simply follow the established routine - I imagine that's oversimplified and in a real fire people will tend to notice the smoke and flames and their reactions will change accordingly :) but still, fire practices in my experience are not announced in advance.

From a quick web search:

Have at least one unannounced fire drill in the house every three to six months

There will also be unannounced practice fire drills periodically throughout the year

Emergency evacuation drills may be pre-announced to building staff or occupants, or that may be unannounced.

But I have no basis for saying those are especially representative and I haven't tried to find fire practice policy for theatres in particular, but it does not look to me as though unannounced fire practices are unusual.

On doing a little research, it looks like you can basically only bow out for religious reasons. According to the IRS form (PDF warning: here ) you must be a member of a religious organization that objects conscientiously to public or private insurance or welfare. There also a few exemptions for students working on dissertations or nonresident aliens working in a few select jobs (according to this). But, no, not just anyone can back out, unless they hid the method for doing so really well.

And no, Pastafarianism wouldn't suffice: the form specifically states that the religious organization must have existed continuously since 1950.

If only there was some sort of way the employees could group together to increase their bargaining power with employers to avoid these situations.

If you consistently work over 40 hours a week your employer must compensate you for it even if you're salaried.

The problem isn't that they aren't unionized, the problem is they're too chickenshit to stand up to their boss, or to take the time and effort to report labor violations to the Wage and Labor commission. If the employees demanded the compensation they are already legally entitled to, and go to the proper authorities if it isn't provided, then the problem would solve itself rapidly when the boss realizes he's paying more in OT than he'd pay for doubling his staff size.

Except most programmers are Salary Exempt, and thus are not guaranteed overtime.

Dear luzers,

Here is a script for making soap on a rope.

Prison Soap is serious business.

Just get out, have fun and make friends. That'll get you into their pants a lot more surely than trying to get in through their heads.

Women are said to have two different ladders: the "friend" ladder and the "lover" ladder.

...sketch artists?

Maybe they should organize into some kind of Sketch Artist Industry of America organization, and sue everyone for watching courtroom videos instead of looking at their static, yet artistic and unique, drawings?
I'm sure that over the years they've gotten to know a few lawyers who'd represent them in their quest to ban cameras from courtrooms once again.

A 25mpg sedan is going to probably cost more than a prius anyway, as it only gets 25mpg for a good reason. That is because it is heavy and made from more material generating more CO2 when it was produced.

The Prius is not particularly svelte at 3042 lb. The Prius uses a lot of "aluminium and ultra high-tensile steel". The majority of aluminum is refined using a toxic and energy-intensive process. While I'm no metallurgist, steel is made harder by working and/or by adding additional metals to the steel. Japanese cars have long been made from recycled American cars, which are (or more to the point, were) made with our mild steel. High-tensile steels contain additional metals which increase the toxicity of the manufacturing process through both primary and secondary effects (and so on...)

As well, a significant portion of the weight of the typical luxury car is actually asphalt installed for sound deadening and mass distribution, which for all its faults (huh huh) is probably significantly less energy-intensive than steel or batteries no matter how you measure it, unless you bring tensile strength into the equation.

A corolla might be better over the lifetime of the car in co2 terms vs a prius, but that 25mpg sedan won't. An electric car in fleet use might be even better, depends on source of that power.

This is true, but not for the reason you suggest. It's because relatively little of the energy of the average car is expended in its production, and the Prius is not so very much more car than other cars. It remains to be seen what its average lifetime will be like and where all the batteries are going to go, but so far the results are at least encouraging... for the most part. :)

Case and Point

Um, OK.

Your state laws may not allow that option

if you're an exempt employee, I'm not aware of any law that would force you to take a lunch break. Your employer can tell you to work through breakfast lunch and dinner, and your only recourse is to quit.

No. There is also the option of filing a complaint with the labor board. I once worked for a company that was caught up in a labor related lawsuit due to a sister company's actions (both companys owned by the same parent). Today the courts in California are ruling that too many people are considered exempt employees, that employers are trying to make an end run around labor laws. Basically all the engineers and lower level managers at the company had to reclassified from exempt salary to non-exempt hourly. If a company in California is still classifying its engineers and developers as exempt then change is one visit from the labor relations folks away.

If you're non-exempt, in California you have to take a 30 minute (unpaid) lunch whether you want to or not. (there are a few exceptions that would allow an on-duty meal break)

But those exceptions have to be rare events, not common occurrences, IIRC.

Does anyone really think Facebook wants to subject its operations to the scrutiny of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and any state regulators in any location where Facebook has facilities? California, where Facebook maintains its corporate headquarters, has extensive banking regulations as well.

American Express used to issue only credit-cards that carried no interest charges and required full and immediate payment of all outstanding balances. That's because AMEX didn't want to be regulated as a bank.

You still writing those looong AC piled links to nowhere? Notice NOBODY responds to you anymore but me, and I ONLY do so to laugh at you? Why is that APK? Could it be like on Ars everyone is on to your bullshit and nobody gives a fuck what you think? Keep dancing for me monkey boy, while I don't bother reading anything you write it gives me a warm fuzzy inside to see you jump through my hoops and follow me like a little bitch who wants another taste, dance monkeyboy, dance!

As in you HOPES that one of the 300,000+ constantly changing array of websites that are infected doesn't happen to be the one you visit today? Or that you HOPES that nobody notices after repeatedly being asked you have FAILED to show even the tiniest shred of mathematical proof that your magical woobie can scale? That you HOPES nobody notices your only "proof" is anecdotes, often by your own sock puppets like Kingsjester?

And I don't have to be exact, because I'm not the one making outrageous claims If someone claims they can stretch their dick into a giant slingshot and shoot themselves to Scotland it is not the readers job to prove them wrong but the posters job to back that up with real prof, not an anecdote that says "well my cousin Joey saw me do it last Halloween!".

I have also shown repeatedly that at the absolute reported minimum number of new pieces of malweare and infections, which you are free to pick whichever reputable website you like Securina, MSFT's malware reports, AVG, which ever, that at an absolute minimum we are talking about 1.2 million sites PER DAY with that number changing by 15,000+ PER HOUR which means even if you typed at 1 IP address PER SECOND, and never slept, and had a perfect list (which doesn't exist) you would be 14 days behind by the very first day with that number growing linearly every single day, making Petey farther and farther behind.

But if you weren't completely batshit insane Petey I wouldn't have to explain this, because this is why everyone makes fun of you. It is so obvious it is like someone arguing gravity is actually invisible pants gnomes trying to steal your underwear. It is the classic "default allow" which has NEVER EVER worked. Because if a piece of malware isn't in magical HOPES file Petey you are royally fucked, and yet again I have shown that it is simply a roll of the dice whether you get creamed or not, simply because you will always be behind.

So it is all on you Petey and your magical HOPES woobie now. You made the extravagant claims, back them up with the math. If you can't? Well then you are full of shit, case closed. Notice how ALL YOU CAN DO PETEY is throw insults and trollbomb? Why is that? I'll tell you why, because math doesn't lie and you just can't show the math You just can't, it would be like trying to mathematically prove you are not an idiot. It just can't be done.

So please, keep dancing to my tune like a little bitch APK, I do so enjoy pointing out the total uber fail of your magical woobie so. I also personally consider it a public service to point people to solutions that actually work instead of relying on magical woobies and anecdotes. And of course bi

With respect to adjusting the cost of unhealthy food a tax isn't really necessary. If you examine the ingredients of healthy food vs. unhealthy food you will find that they are generally not the same. With a bit more examination you will realize that the US government is providing a tax subsidy for the production of those ingredients constituting unhealthy food but not for those ingredients of healthy food. Chief among those is the corn subsidy, a nutritionally vacant crop whose primary use is in the production of corn syrup (people feed), as well cattle feed. No one subsidizes spinach, oranges, carrots, flax, mushrooms, etc. certainly not at comparable levels. It's a token gesture at best. Get rid of the subsidies and you'll see production levels and supermarket prices self-correct.

Tell me Petey, does it hurt? Does it eat and your mind, knowing that on every single post I make I not only insult your idiocy but I give a link to a laundry list of your failures? Does it keep you up at night? Does it hurt? I find that....marvelous. Now enjoy some nice insults mixed with the broken glass that is reality, something you sadly can't seem to grasp. Now wallow in your failure monkey boy, and do the dance of humiliation!

Hmm, I think retail stores and supermarkets also contribute a substantial amount of waste. I've got a friend who, while living with her boyfriend, avoided paying grocery bills for over a year by dumpstering for her food. She knew what stores went through produce and perishable food inventories on which days (e.g., Wal-Mart on Tuesdays, Giant Eagle on Fridays, and so on), and she knew which stores were good about discarding certain foodstuffs to raid. She'd then pay a visit after they closed or once it got dark, loaded herself up with food that had been thrown out, and took it home to eat.

That's right, eat.

She could do this because the "Sell By" dates on food =! "Spoils on" dates. Food is often good after the "Sell By" date, but for one reason or another (liability? quality assurance?) the company recommends rotating in new produce. As I understand it, food banks aren't allowed to take food after "Sell By" dates for liability reasons as well.

To make a long story short, she lived healthily out of dumpsters and grew gardens out of their contents for quite a while and never got sick. As long as you're smart with what you pick up (take good-looking fruit that's still packaged in plastic, don't take eggs or meat or anything that needs refrigeration, et cetera), there's a low chance for food-borne illness. In fact, this article about dumpstering food is a decent guide to the practice. Information is out there, and I've met more than a handful of people who do this and live comfortably.

Thats a nice off-topic dance you did around my points. I found a nice little article to bakc me up here. "At, say $10 a watt, you're looking at a $46,000 cost for a very small solar power system. " http://www.ehow.com/about_5347941_average-put-solar-panels-house.html
No date on when this estimate was made. :(

"I still don't own a car: does that prove that cars are useless and unchanging?" Do you see new cars on your way to work or in your neighborhood? Do you see them changing and improving? My personal lack of ownership was a small portion of my argument. I also noted everything else I see as a source.

All your sources either disagree with you or don't cover the particular topic.

Here's a couple more sources that agree with me (I'm the original anonymous coward):

English-Test.net, citing the University of Sussex and the University of Delaware as well as Purdue.
eHow.com

And if you google "plural of lowercase letters" you'll find lots more. But you shouldn't have to do that, and this should never even have been an argument. This is (1) a very common convention of English orthography and (2) kind of obvious if you think about it, since otherwise "as" and "is" and "us" would cause confusion.

We have these things called 'stands', which you lean the tablet up against. Both hands free! With a tiny bit of creativity, one could also use a desk, table, or wall in such a way as to act as a stand as well.

Around 50 years ago we also invented these things called 'keyboards', and while you need a specific type of keyboard that has only existed for about a decade to connect it to a tablet, these keyboards do provide a better experience with massive data input.

For iPad specifically, there is a tiny adapter you can buy with a USB port on it. For Android tablets, they typically come with a USB port on the side, though you might still need a mini-to-usb-A adapter depending on what port it has built in.

Then you can use any keyboard invented in the last 15 years or so.

I realize you personally don't care, but this is for others who might read and believe what you have to say.

It's even easier than that for the iPad: Just use any bluetooth keyboard. No adapter needed.

Well if it isn't little poor wittle Petey, aka the HOPES guy, aka the legend in his own mind. Did you program the space shuttle in your badly written Delphi as well? Hell you make VB coders look like kernel developers Petey, that is why everyone made fun of your "apps" on Ars. Any apps in the app store? Oh thats right Apple takes fart apps but not "batshit crazy" apps, sorry Petey.

And I guess you're afraid to touch any of my comments that are attached to current stories huh? Must make you awful sad at how many laughed their asses off at your little HOPES rants last time, but that's what you get when you tie your crazy to a tech older than an 8-track and just about as useful. You really should talk to Twitter, he does it SOOOO much better than you do, pretty sad to be third rate even as a troll.

The simple fact is this: no matter how many times Petey says "1+1 = 3" the math simply proves you wrong and THAT is why all you can do is throw insults. You have 190,000 to 340,000 infected websites at this very moment and that list will change by the thousands per minute as sites are cleaned, new sites are infected, new vulnerabilities found, etc. Now for his HOPES file to actually be a REAL protection and not just a woobie? It will have to dynamically scale and keep up with that ever changing list of infections. Now even if he had twenty fingers and subscribed to every security list on the planet his HOPES file will ALWAYS BE OUT OF DATE and behind the curve. Always.

So please, keep posting APK, I do so enjoy pointing out the total uber fail of your magical woobie so. I also personally consider it a public service to point people to solutions that actually work instead of relying on magical woobies and anecdotes. And of course bitch slapping your around is also quite fun!

I think eHow is a scraper site. I've often found their articles to match verbatim posts from sites dedicated to the topic at hand. Just yesterday I saw the identical recipe for baking mix on eHow and allrecipes.com.

So neither you, the cop, nor the judge were aware of the actual Nevada laws on broken traffic lights, eh? Basically, you treat it as a stop sign. Most states have similar laws, and often require waiting through a certain number of cycles or minutes. http://www.ehow.com/list_6847632_traffic-laws-nevada.html

I believe there is already a method for texting status updates to facebook. Oh there it is

No one claimed that chicken pox cannot kill. It is just extremely unlikely. As you say. 50 children a year would die in the US from chicken pox prior to the vaccine. Look at how many die since the vaccine has been introduced. Almost as many. As sad as it might be to those that it happens to, that is statistical noise. A kid allowed to play high school football has approximately a 5X greater chance of dying from it than they do from dying due to a lack of immunization for chickenpox. The claims that it is a deadly disease are simply blown out of proportion to the point of being out right lies. One thing we know is that 100% immunization with 100% effectiveness, you would at best be able to save 50 kids lives a year. Tops.

Now, the down side of the vaccine. It is temporary. It simply does not offer life long immunity. Look at the numbers of chicken pox cases. 95% of them were in children, yet you had the same number of deaths in the 5% group of adults. That means that the disease is approximately 20X more dangerous for adults than it is for children. Since the protection offered by the chicken pox vaccine is not permanent, by mass vaccinating kids, you have just increased the risk of death by 20X for all of the children that you gave it to. Of course when they die from it, they won't be kids any more, so you can say you 'save children lives' even if that means you killed them as adults.

Just to put it in perspective, approximately 480 people a year die do to cooking fires each year. That means that little Sebastian has more than 5 times the chance of dying due to his parents performing the negligent act of cooking at home than he does of dying because his parents decided not to get him vaccinated.

I presume that with this new found knowledge, you will stop cooking in your home, and start warning parents to stop exposing their children to such dangers acts as well. Yes?

This may be the reference the op was refering to.

The amazing part of this news story was the level of access he was able to get from the medical profession.

Which means, even with a concealed handgun license, the laws prevent most people from being able to protect themselves while in transit.

This is incorrect In Texas you may carry

• a loaded longarm (rifle or shotgun) on your person (i.e., walking down the street or into a business) or in your car openly,
• a loaded handgun concealed in your vehicle (e.g., cover it with a newspaper),
• a loaded concealed handgun on your person if you have a concealed-carry permit.

There are exceptions for restricted areas: courthouses, bars, etc.
