Here in the US with new devices we're still waiting for 5.0. It's still amazes me how slow the carriers and the device manufacturers are to put their bloat shit into a distro, test it and get it released. I'm going to see if CM is now ready and supports the Note 4, screw this lag time.
to there's plunder, pillage and destroy that works for oil and natural gas companies there's take, take and eradicate for banks there's snoop, spy, sell which is great for Google;-)
Xamarian Mono or it's predecessor Ximian Mono. This is both a good and bad thing because while they're releasing the code, why aren't they working with Xamarian since they've already got a cross platform.NET environment? Or is this the old Microsoft with the Embrace, Extend, Eradicate mentality we're seeing here?
I've used Mono for a long time and while it doesn't have all the frameworks, it's great if you want to C# code and go cross platform. It's still.NET 4 compatible and things like WPF aren't in there so YMMV
it creates the knee jerk reactions. "Think of the children!" which IMO is the leading cause of zero tolerance policies. That along with administrators and parents who don't give a shit.
Like I said, I don't agree with zero tolerance policies except in extreme cases. The case of the kid with the ring is a dumb case of a policy gone bad as is your example. Shit I'd probably doing hard time for all the spit wads I shot in my school years given today's mentality of zero tolerance and criminalizing kids being kids.
Those are a subset of the things you should be concerned. We'd like to think that our schools provide a safe environment but that has changed with the society around it. Because of that we have lock down rules, zero tolerance policies, metal detectors and police on campus. I don't agree with zero tolerance policies for much of anything; drugs, guns, knives on campus would be exceptions. So there are reasons for them but it's that we have to take some adjustment back on when they're appropriate.
And exactly what the fuck do you know about fear? "why you live in fear" you're talking to the wrong SOB dumbshit. Being a parent isn't as trivial as it may seem, it takes a lot of work and it does involve worry but there's never been a day that I have said "oh no, school is unsafe I have to keep my kids home." That includes gun incidents, bomb scares and drug problems oh and a kid getting abducted and killed. Oh wait there was the time the plane crashed in the field next to school. Yeah those are really manly risks aren't they? I've lived through them all. Are those enough risks for you pansy?
If a parent chooses to be cautious with their kids at least they're engaged and care about them. My biggest angst is for parents who don't get involved with their kids and leave it to the schools to be teacher, parent, doctor and babysitter. They're the ones who scream the loudest when something goes wrong and why we have regressive zero tolerance policies.
The next fuckstick who mentions "why I live in fear" can get a nice kick in the ass if they like or a kick in the nutsack, your choice.
Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. I still don't like it, it's absurd and it needs to get changed. Which end of the elephant do we attack first, the tusks or the end that poops?
I agree we shouldn't live in fear, but we need to keep our eyes open. As parents you have to have concern for your kids given the amount of incidents that happen, some are anecdotal like "drug bust near school" others hit home.
Yes, it leads to stupid results and is really a bad idea but until parents step up we'll see more and more of this.
Well that's one leg of the chair. Parents want their kids protected and hence when negative situations occur, drugs, shootings or sexual misconduct, there's a knee jerk. Districts don't want to get sued and deal with all the headaches. It also creates huge budgetary issues to defend yourself and to usually make payouts to plaintiffs because "teacher didn't follow policy." Parents need to understand that there's risks in everything whether it's the vaxxers or the hover parents they can't protect their kids all the time. It's abnormal and curtails their emotional, social and intellectual growth. This kid was role playing, using his imagination and unfortunately he's now in an age where that can be detrimental to his academic achievements.
Let me give you a real world example to clarify the problems school administrators face. About 3 years ago a teenager girl going to the same high school as my kids was killed by someone she had accused of sexual assault. He was out on bail with a trial pending and she just started attending the high school the same week. The administrators didn't know the situation at all, nor did the local police dept. as all of this happened in another city. She was abducted on school grounds just after school had let out and he lured her by befriending her on social media. He shot her and she wound up in the river. Here's the whole story. http://www.dallasnews.com/news...
It's these kinds of incidents and the obvious outcry that creates zero tolerance policies. I agree that the administrator and teacher should have been given the alacrity to determine some other kind of punishment but I'll bet both would have been subject to disciplinary action had then not taken the action they did. It's stupid, it's dumb. Hell, have the shit I did when I was in school would have wound me up in jail by all this zero tolerance shit. My original point was that it's not just in Texas, this is all over the nation and it's getting worse. Schools now aren't places of learning, they're more akin to detention centers with lock down policies. Hell when I'd go to a school conference I'd have to give them my driver's license and they'd do a warrant check before I'd be allowed entry. I'd have to tell them "hey, you invited me here remember?"
Schools are a reflection of the communities they serve and until we start addressing the violence and problems outside the schools, they'll continue to have things like zero tolerance and lock down environments where a kid, fantasizing about sorcery gets suspended. It's stupid, dumb and disgusting but we've allowed this to happen. It's well that it happened in the US because in Saudi Arabia he'd have been beheaded for sorcery.
I love people who take pot shots and don't know what the fuck they're talking about. All school districts are taking tougher stances on punishment and more and more districts across the country are adopting zero tolerance policies. Is it draconian? yes, but when you have inattentive parents who don't take the time to explain right from wrong or turn a blind eye to the kids' activities this is what you get. This is clearly one that the schools administration could deal with but their hands are probably tied by district policy. Schools need to get back to the job of teaching and inspiring our youth, not being extensions of a detention system. That means that parents, you know the ones that actually bring these kids into the world, need to get involved with their kids and start by doing some teaching at home.
Or how about changing the tax code to treat corporations like citizens. Wasn't it the Citizens United decision by SCOTUS that gave them rights. It would be reciprocal and the IRS could companies like citizens and go after every cent regardless of where they live or where they have their money.
Huh, that's funny. I'm now spending 140% on healthcare insurance than I was doing just 4 years ago. I seem to remember this president proposing something and oh yeah has his name on it. Oh yeah Obamacare which is now gouging into the side of every American. It's the US government insisting that you have something otherwise they'll fine you. Mind you it's a tax on just being alive. Sure if you're impoverished enough you can get "subsidies" that the rest of us have to pay but if we're working at a company who oh, decides to dump us onto the exchanges or if your self employed you're screwed, paying more for what you had and getting less. Yeah that liberal horseshit became law.
It didn't make any difference to the outcome of the game but it still persists. The NFL has rules governing the inflation... yada yada
1) It could have been the cold. 2) It could have been that New England knowingly under-inflated the footballs and played the first half of the game knowing it. 3) It could have been a mistake on New England's equipment folks, shit happens.
Chose one of three because it didn't make any difference in the outcome because once the officiating crew check them at half-time they detected it and changed the pressure. If there was a question to a violation of the rules it should have been brought out then by the refs, but they didn't do it and that's a bad problem here. Sure pressure can change, fuck the damn things can leak, it was the cold, an earthquake.. whatever the reason it's over and this countless going back and forth isn't going to change things but it may eventually give the NFL a scapegoat. Belichick is still in the dog house over the videotape episode because he didn't follow through with the punishment that Goodell metered out, he did it in spirit but not how it was agreed so ultimately he'll probably be suspended.
The NFL has to fix the situation moving forward. If it was cheating, weather conditions, bad equipment, whatever they need to fix it so it's no longer an issue.
1) The footballs for games should be considered the NFL's property and for the game they should be supplied, monitored and checked by the NFL. MLB for example doesn't let the teams play with baseballs that they bring to the game, the NFL should follow suit. No more teams bringing game balls. 2) It's questionable that the NFL needs 42 to 54 footballs per game. It needs to be brought down to a reasonable number 20 or under. If that means no more "momento" footballs touchdowns etc. then too bad. After the game the officials can divvy them up between the two teams so they can distribute them how they see fit.
I remember the BT from the 70s and 80s where every phone call seemed to be on a party line. Noisy, lots of crosstalk and now 1Gbps Internet? My how they've grown up.
It's Uber's fault because they have money. That's how the justice works in our country. If you can't criminally convict somebody you hit them in the wallet. If they're poor you go after the company he works for because of his behavior. I worked on an accident case awhile back where fortunately only one person died, the driver, because it could have been much, much worse. Think fire/flames/lots of people. The vehicle he was driving was company owned and it had been so poorly maintained that the ABS system had been bypassed, the brakes were at failure point and the driver was heavily medicated while operating the vehicle. In that case the company had liability for the unsafe operation of the vehicle. The case was adjudicated in the plaintiff's favor for property damages etc. however the company went into bankruptcy so most likely no funds will ever be seen from it. The company's insurance won't pay out because of the unsafe maintenance of the vehicle and violation of laws involved. Yeah that's how the legal system works, even when you're right you get screwed.
you've never heard the term "Ambulance Chaser?" The law firm took the case on contingency and is looking to milk Uber, she'll make a relative fortune for India but it'll probably be only 10% of the gross. It's funny how Uber is being singled out here and I'm wondering if the Taxi lobby isn't somehow involved. New York law firm, New York Taxi lobby.. It also seems really, really strange since general taxi rapes/crimes don't seem to get the same media hype as Uber. Sure, there's coverage, but it's not anywhere close to the same intensity.
