Hey.. look.. it is sad... but.. what do you expect? some people want to see their kids go into adulthood, preferably without any bullet and/or knife wounds. Problem here is that WE as a society do NOT work together.
It's our fault. Every one of us. Why? Because we only care about ourselves, we judge and segregate.
Worse is, our government is doing very little about it in ways that actually make an impact.
The only way we can make all neighborhoods safe, is to promote work, wealth and equality for all Americans.
Rip out that racism at the root. Stop the imbalance. Let's be serious about our so call "life is sacred" attitude and let's really mean it.
The problem will never solve itself. It needs everybody's participation. North Americans are complacent. That's the truth. We don't care enough about others. Ultimately, when we are in trouble, then, nobody cares about us. This is what must stop.
Like anything else, I'm going to give Microsoft a pass on their tech until there are a few more iterations and improvements on their products. Don't feel like paying for a 'guinea' pig product.
there is a nice little FAQ on submitting book reviews, but, how do we do it? I mean.. the machanics of it? Submitting a Story isn't submitting a book review, What am I missing?
Well, I have submitted a long time ago, the bugs which happened, but, that's over 1 yr ago and the truth is, after 2 months of fighting with the software, I got my boss to pay for a full license of MS Office.
Now you think after all this time I'm going to a copy of these issues, especially when the moment I started to use MS Office, I had no more headaches to deal with?:) You gotta be kidding me.
I had the displeasure of having to use libre office and open office and I can say that I would rather pay for Microsoft Office which I do, then use free Libre/Open office.
Why?
Wasted too many times with the bizarre quirks of libre/open office. Time is money. Stability is important and these application as about 1 yr ago, weren't all that stable. I had to work with training material which had text and graphics, etc., nothing to major, but can be large docs and I had a hard time dealing with all kinds of issues.
Now there will be a for profit version? LOL.. can't even get me to use the free one.. This should be interesting to see where things will lead.
It is unfortunately a competitive environment out there and everybody tries to provide themselves with an edge.. As long as it's the case, nobody can blame parents for sending their kids to private school, if they can.
But at the end of the day, your abilities and your drive gets you where you want to go and that has nothing to do with the type of school you attended.
As far as I'm concerned, while, certainly children are not all equal and some do tend to have more academic inclinations, it is also the parents duties to inspire their kids to better themselves and to apply themselves in anything they do. Including homework.
I've not called anybody an indian.. I don't know what you are smoking, but stop.. if you read my threads, you don't see me calling anyone an indian. NOWHERE.
like anything else, the process of aging must also revolve around the imperfect cell replication process that we undergo over time.
Between pollutants, radiation, etc.. Our cells do NOT replicate perfectly, thus, at some point, the quality of our cells deteriorates, which must be a factor to consider when aging comes to mind.
As we age from newborn to child to teen to adult hood, perhaps whatever triggers our growth at some point, also proivdes our cells protection and when that goes away, then the cell replication becomes compromised, which means that perhaps there is a mechanism within ourselves as we age into adult hood which protects our cells, once we've gotten to our final stage, we lose this protection and slowly our cells replication process becomes compromised with time and more vulnerable to external factors.
It could be that to really slow down the aging process, we need to better filter what we consume and we need to increase our skin's ability to better shield ourselves from radiation, etc..
Ah, PC.. politically correct people... the type who smile in your face and stab you in the back.. LOL.. I would rather be plain, no-nonsense and to the point and just call a spade a spade. In the end, life shouldn't be about the labels we can be identified with, but rather the actions that we do and the way we conduct ourselves.
This is really where we need to balance our drive for automation with the need for human intuition and thinking.
I will bet that it will be easy at first to hack these robots.
I'm weary about more and more machines taking the place of humans in the workforce.
Actually, what I'm really weary about is that it's great to have new technologies which can replace human labor, but there should also be something to offset where the human labor gets a chance to learn new skills to get other types of employment.
After all, a person who can't get a fair chance at work, well, that's simply wrong, as it remove this person some dignity.
Society needs to balance all of this, so that everybody has a chance to contribute to something and get monetary rewards.
It's simple economics.
This is where for once, our government should step in and balance things out, for the good of the people, who are also taxpayers. Promote the work, promote human labor and promote the moving of currency so that everybody has a chance to live.
Not denying anything. Just saying, when I drive, if I read a text, I'm responsible if something happens and it distracts me. That simple. I am responsible. That is 'personal accountability'. It shouldn't be 'an American thing', it should just be what's right.
The reason for the inaction is more simple than anything else. Lack of accountability. Everybody tries to deny things, because they say someone else will profit/benefit and/or exploit from it. It has become a crutch now to the point where it leans towards the ridiculous. Now, here's the thing. Common sense. Let's go with that. Obviously maybe not all of our actions are related to climate change, but surely, being responsible for our pollutants, reducing our carbon footprint, cleaning up our waters, taking care of wildlife, I mean, c'mon.. does it have to be for a reason? can't we think of our Earth as an extension of our home and ourselves? But in the name of profit, people will skew issues, whether its right or wrong. People don't like change and right now, those with money would have to change their ways, which would cost them and well, that's not good for business. See the logic and think about it.
The "texter" is sending a message. how can this person know if the recipient of said text is driving? It's like sending an e-mail. You are sending the e-mail or the text message but have NO expectations of instant feedback. This is bogus to try to put the blame on the sender..
Responsibility on reading any form of transmission should rest squarely on the shoulders of the person reading said transmission.
Whatever happened to personal accountability?
And for example, let's say the recipient does inform the sender that they are driving.. Then what? even if the sender keeps on sending messages, all the recipient has to do is drive, and ignore the device. Surely when you are in a safe area, you can then look at the stupid messages.
Again, we can't be in control of others, but should always be in control of ourselves.
The premise for these laws are utterly ridiculous.
Slashdot Mirror
the more of a target you become..
What happens to people if they are surrounded by these charges?
We are expecting people who bend the rules to play nice.. Slick.. real slick..
In no particular order:
Of course, provides time, calendar, stopwatch, snooze alarm, etc. the usual watch functionality
Other options could be added, but at that point, I think it would be business specific
for example; scan items and barcodes. Etc..

The problem is complacency. We should always strive to keep ourselves ready.

No, I actually do pay for MS Office.. It's an important tool and I pay for it.

Instead of putting this dude in prison, they should learn from him to improve their lie detection technologies.

Yes, not everybody is bright and smart, but, it doesn't mean they don't have other redeeming qualities.

But, still live in Mexico.. so, how do you call them? "Not Mexicans indigenous people from Mexico?"
Maybe these Mexicans will gain the reputation of a people of few words... :)
