    I didn't RTFA nor do I know much about this but you said:

    saying they shouldn't be compensated for good performance is like saying our "at risk" students matter more than everyone else.


    Shouldn't we worry 'more' about 'at risk' students because they are 'at risk'.

    I'm also assuming here that the 'at risk' you're quoting. Is short for people becoming useless to our society. Drop outs, single teen mothers and so forth.
  3. Re:You can't have your cake an eat it too ... on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1
    Some people like having mail-to links, and you won't be able to do that easily with an image.

    I remember the first one of those "image@youthoughtthiswasclickabledidntyou.com". I clicked on, I felt so tricked
    *sigh* I'm too addicted to GUIs

    I would suggest if you have to post your email. Use a spam filter on the account. Those things are a dime a dozen; plenty of people here will be willing to argue over which is the best. Ideally you don't want to use a method that makes it any more difficult for the customer. I ended up just typing down the email, but someone else may have thought differently.

    IANAD(doctor) but..

    " Excess iodine has symptoms similar to those of iodine deficiency. Commonly encountered symptoms are abnormal growth of the thyroid gland and disorders in functioning and growth of the organism as a whole. Elemental iodine, I2, is deadly poison if taken in larger amounts; if 2-3 grams of it is consumed, it is fatal to humans. Iodides are similar in toxicity to bromides."

    Toxicity of Iodine

    I always assumed the iodine they add to salts were good enough to cover the population base (US) from iodine deficiency.

    Why do these and other PSA's always seem 20 years behind the times as far as what is cool?

    From the Section in question:

    ``(c) LIMITATIONS.--(1) Supplies, services, and equipment may
    be provided under this section--
                          ``(A) only to the extent that the constituted authorities
              of the State or possession concerned are unable to provide
              such supplies, services, and equipment, as the case may be;
              and ``(B) only until such authorities, or other departments or
              agencies of the United States charged with the provision of
              such supplies, services, and equipment, are able to provide
              such supplies, services, and equipment.

    If you read the main part of the section it sounds like they're trying to prevent another Katrina blunder where LA blamed FEMA and FEMA blamed LA.

    (A) restore public order and enforce the laws of the United
              States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or
              other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or
              incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the
              United States, the President determines that--
                                      ``(i) domestic violence has occurred to such an extent
                          that the constituted authorities of the State or possession
                          are incapable of maintaining public order; and
                                      ``(ii) such violence results in a condition described in
                          paragraph (2); or
                          ``(B) suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic
              violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy if such insurrec-

              described in paragraph (2).
              ``(2) A condition described in this paragraph is a condition
    that-- ``(A) so hinders the execution of the laws of a State or
              possession, as applicable, and of the United States within that
              State or possession, that any part or class of its people is

  14. microsoft update = windows update + office update on Microsoft Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) · · Score: 1

    I caught 'Microsoft Update' a while back in one of their feature roll outs. IE loads the page 'http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/de fault.aspx?ln=en-us', when I click the super special Microsoft Update icon. Which by the way is different from the windows update icon. *aside* I'd like to thank Firefox 2.0 for allowing me to post here without spelling mistakes. Thanks to FF I can now speak learnedly.
