Nope. Sucked when Apple did it. Sucked even more when Samsung decided to do it. Continues to suck with Google, and when Microsoft jumps on this overcrowded, watch-sized bandwagon... it will STILL suck.
Ghetto isn't racist. There are ghettos of all colors an ethnicities. I call them McGhetto because of the low quality of food and service, as well as the general nature of the staff's behavior (including at the one near me, which is mostly white)...
Yes those are called single mothers. Not divorced mothers. Mothers selfish enough that despite all the info we have that kids are so much better off in so many ways when a decent father is around, decided to get knocked up with no intention of doing things that way. Feeling sorry for them doesn't work. Pretending like deliberately starting off one's children with a huge disadvantage is somehow not selfish, just because you don't like it, doesn't work either. Expecting better could actually work. It's why 50 years ago or so there were so few teen pregnancies and so few single (never married) mothers -- the expectation was that you don't do that, and you were scorned if you did. It worked. This business of excuses and feel-good politics doesn't and the stats prove it.
Nope. From the s most of them had both parents married, or divorced parents.
Yes those are called two-parent households. The mother formed a stable committed relationship before she decided to have sex without birth control and have children. Because she cared and wanted to do things right, so she did. She had the integrity and the good judgment to pick a decent guy who was interested in having a family and wanted to stick around, instead of suing for child support because of getting knocked up by some loser who just wanted some pussy and had no desire to be a real father. This is tragically getting more and more rare.
Again, you display your prodigal ignorance. Many were in divorced households, and some even hand single mothers.
Yes, it comes from the family, but the family that values education and responsibility. There are plenty of single mothers who realized the problems their choices caused, and grew up, and plenty who had silver spoons stuck up there asses all their lives, that never had to understand what responsibility really is. There are correlations, but fixing one won't necessarily fix the other.
I think that post is in response to a signature seen around here somewhere. Something about not just being a resident or taxpayer of Texas, but also a citizen.
Actually, the value given is income, it's based on what you can procure with that income vs. what is needed for a healthy subsistence with a reasonable amount of effort.
I went through several different public schools (family moved a lot). I found that the brightness of the students, and reputation/"quality" of the school, had more to do with their parents than the school. Some areas had demographics where the students were taught by their parents they couldn't expect to do more than flip burgers at McGhetto, or if they were lucky, become managers. Other schools, with similar quality teaching, had parents who taught their kids that they could make something of their life, with an education.
The thing about private/charter schools is that they require an effort to join them - that right there makes them self-selecting against bad parents. Not always, I have some friends that went to a mediocre charter school, that didn't teach evolution (which is the sole reason why some parents sent them there, not for concerns about other aspects of quality of education), and others who went to some of the better charter schools (they do teach evolution, or at least didn't put a point on avoiding it).
Yep, anecdotal, but there seem to be a lot of others that have noticed this. The problem isn't the schools, it's the parents.
I think he's a troll trying to make conservatives look bad.
I'm a moderate with liberal leanings, and as far as I have seen, that style of conservative only lives in the imaginations and misconceptions of reality found in the far left kooks. The far right kooks are quite a different creature all together.
Actually, if you look at their mindsets and logical failings, the far left and far right look a lot alike, the only difference is the ideology they choose to wield.
That's, I think the point of comparing poverty rates rather income.
How much you get for income isn't as important is what resources it can provide you with. What the relative incomes describe is how much room the countries have to rise or fall.
The kernel shouldn't have had the bug, so Linux is to blame. Chrome OS is built on Linux by choice, not necessity (they could have used FreeBSD, Minix, or even done a UI replacement of Windows if they wanted to spend more $$$), so... since they didn't fix the bug in their chosen, and open source OS, it's their fault too.
Blame doesn't always have to fall on one party, it can fall on multiple parties who all didn't do due diligence, or no parties when the problem was from nature, and nobody could have reasonably predicted it.
Well, he could have given them directions on how to do it, rather than the data.
However, yeah, it's still AT&T that was stupid. Conversely, if a store let you rent (or simply loaned you) any object inside of it, including their business books, would it be equally illegal for you to photocopy their client listings and send those to the news media? It amounts to the same crime - except that this variant would take a bit more money and effort.
GP didn't mention the other side. Anyway, in this topic there are many sides, and (a) just because an extreme on one side does something inappropriate, doesn't justify the extreme on the other side doing the same (b) There are moderates on both sides, who pull that bullshit.
Probably, because if he were sane, he would be likely to fail, and it'd be useless.
I don't see how saying "take the test or that plea won't be acceptable" violates the 5th or 14th though. The right to not incriminate yourself, or the right to liberty (except when denied by due process) is not violated by such an option. The mispercieved "right to be believed in what you say" and possible "get away with it" are violated, but we aren't given those rights. All this is, is an attempt by the court, to establish a strong verification of the truth. The person isn't required to take the test.
Odd, I read it as how I read a lot of counter arguments by a bunch of religious nutjobs. He was often reading way more into what the author said, than was actually said, and then arguing against that. It read like reactionary knee-jerk of someone trying to defend his own weak too-extreme position.
It's annoying because I'm sick enough of arguing against those on the other side of the board.
You missed the point. The ideas behind these advances is convenience. This would still be more convenient than writing it down on paper, and re-entering it, and more secure.
More worrisom - I don't want every one in the room to get my contact information when I give it to a friend. I hope they implement this with a 'public key' request/reply mechanism.
Request sends person's name, public key. You can then pick one of the last few requests to respond to.
I declare this modification on the original idea, public domain.
because obviously the man-made climate change crowd is stupid, and therefore they don't realize that hundreds of thousands of dollars per year are better than tens of thousands of dollars per year, and don't realize they could be doing better!
And if they they aren't smart enough for this simple math, how can we ever trust them with the more complex math required to analyze their data?
I don't know a *lot* of Mac users, but most of the ones I know seem to stick to Safari, A couple use FireFox.
I'm not so bothered by the Desktop market. I'm more wondering - how can the App store model of Apple have a leg to stand on in the same court system that would allow this?
Note: I didn't add Google or MS mobile devices, because in the cases I've used them, there's always been at least 2 app stores on the phone/tablet, though that may have changed with Windows 8...

Additionally, to you rpoint, isn't TSA semi-private (gov't instructed, privately run?)
Yep. They are so much better than the fully public institutions.

Yes, quality of the truth serum is a huge issue, and should be the primary focus. But that doesn't have to do with #5 and #14.
Also, I'd argue that a list of acceptable questions should be provided before the serum is administered, and no other questions would be admissible.

There's been a good reason that I haven't bought any EA games for a long time.
These issues have been A SECOND good reason for a somewhat less long time.
Doesn't Apple now have a larger financial base than MS... Seems they are grabbing money from the less rich, at this point.
I don't know a *lot* of Mac users, but most of the ones I know seem to stick to Safari, A couple use FireFox.
I'm not so bothered by the Desktop market. I'm more wondering - how can the App store model of Apple have a leg to stand on in the same court system that would allow this?
Note: I didn't add Google or MS mobile devices, because in the cases I've used them, there's always been at least 2 app stores on the phone/tablet, though that may have changed with Windows 8...
I've no problems with them doing this to MS - though I wouldn't call that a small find (maybe a touch exorbitant) I still wish they'd go after Apple.
I was tempted to say I typically only use 3 languages...
Willingly, that's true, but I need two more for work, and bash probably counts as well. On rare occasions I also drop down to C...
damn.
I'd be sad, but it's been years since I've seen an expert sex change link in my google search results, so... meh.
