I agree, but one drawback (other than the lack of a good reader) really stops me from converting to eBooks: I can't read an eBook while in the bath, or while floating around a pool. If only they could make a reader that is completely waterproof, I'd be sold.
With unit cost falling as the number of components per
circuit rises, by 1975 economics may dictate squeezing as
many as 65,000 components on a single silicon chip
Where did you go to school? I don't think I've ever had a science class in school (not university) that didn't start out by teaching the scientific method - it's typically chapter 1 of any lower-level science text.
"It could ensure women with genetic defects do not pass the diseases on to their children.
The technique is intended to help women with diseases of the mitochondria - mini-organs that are found within individual cells. "
They most definitely should.:) Sure, the world may be overpopulated, but people want to have their own children, and ensuring that they're healthy seems like a good thing to me...
You need to show them you are knowledgeable about business as well as technology. See if you can take on leadership roles at your current company, even if they are non-technical. You should also talk to your boss and mentors for advice - the next time something comes up, they'll know to point you to it.
I like top posting. I want to see the message that is for me at the top, and not to have to scroll through a series of replies to get to where my message really begins. Plus, if it was relevant to me I've probably already seen it, although it's nice to have for context.
Don't most kids in the US learn about first aid in health class? I certainly did.
I think it might be mandatory cirriculum in my state (Pennsylvania), but I could be wrong as its been a few years since high school.
This doesn't really surprise me. I had a roommate once who insisted that libraries do not have "new" books (they do).. I'm not sure where she was going with that one.
I also used to be cheap and check out textbooks from the library and just keep renewing them for the semester - none of my classmates realized that you could do this either.
SAT scores measure education, not intelligence. I'm sure if you looked at other statistics (like breakdown of SAT scores by income level) you'd find other trends (like rich kids do better than poor kids)... so then that would indicate that children of rich people are inherently more intelligent than children of poor people? no, it shows they're just better educated.
You also need to look at culture -- which demographic do you think plays chess the most?
I thought Yahoo answers was mostly people asking non-factual questions, like advice or homework help... it's the equivalent to asking a random group of people off the street a question. Does anyone really think of it as an encyclopedia??? I sure hope not!
I don't think that's really a smart move - it's a little passive agressive, and playing stupid just makes you look stupid.
If you have a problem or question, just be ask the manager or the guy who wrote it. You don't have to be accusatory when you ask, just ask them what the policy is regarding using code samples you found on the internet (and it's possible that the website you found it on has a policy that permits code reuse)
I have a personal blog, and have had for many years. Most of the personal blogs I see are by women and all my "blog friends" are women (usually girls in their teens & 20's). A lot of it revolves around making layouts, talking about your life, girl-oriented topics, making new friends/penpals, etc.
I just can't picture a lot of guys being into the same thing... *shock*!
If you're going around spamming about these proxies, wouldn't the information eventually get to the authorities and tip them off about new proxies to ban?
If you're trying to keep a secret, isn't trying to tell the whole world about it a bit of a contradictory?
"As one member of a small group, you feel you have no right to be mediocre... You're not just representing yourself; you're representing [females] with a capital F.'"
I completely agree with this statement! For the most part, everyone I work/went to school with is/was very nice and well-meaning, but I'm always the only "female" in the group. I always feel the pressure to do well and do "harder" things because I can. I was pressured in college to take all the most difficult classes because "they" wanted a girl in the class. Invariably, some professor (grad and undergrad) would make a comment about how he was surprised that some of the best projects were by girls, or some kid would tell me that I was really smart for a girl (or one of the only smart girls in the major).
I really didn't used to think that people noticed or cared things like that, but they do. I know that I stand out, so I'd rather stand out in a good way.
haha, but it is somewhat of a stereotype that women in engineering are ugly.
To young girls, appearance is important... very important. I probably never would have gotten into IT if I didn't start making "pretty website layouts" and exchanging blog comments with other 12 year old girls on the internet. None of my friends were interested in computers, and the one or two guys I knew who liked computers at my middle school were really quite weird.
It might sound stupid to some of you guys out there, but I think females don't go into math/engineering/IT as much is because we can't relate to the culture (and frankly, it just doesn't occur to some of us - in high school, I was encouraged to go into something "softer" like English, because staring at a computer screen all day is "boring" and "lonely"). At a lower level it isn't such a big difference (like in comp sci 101), but at higher levels, in my Master's program, and at work I'm almost always the only girl. A lot of times (most of the time), I don't "fit in."
A book aimed at preteen girls, if it's done well, obviously isn't going to "revolutionize" education, but it will help some girls feel like they fit in better and maybe even get their friends interested. To a 12 year old, that's very encouraging.

But Apple does sell its OS. You can buy a computer that comes with their OS, but you can also just buy the OS seperately.
Yes - and only the dinosaurs that evolved into birds survived. Clearly, the rest died in the flood because they were too big to get on Noah's Ark ;)

Is it just me, or is the iphone's tiny screen not conducive to reading? Does anyone really want to spend hours squinting at that tiny screen?

For fun? yes. For work? not really a choice there!
