The nokia tablets work well enough for minor stuff. I borrow my lab's sometimes and it's not that much more annoying than my thinkpad tablet (which really, I like for reading on, more than anything else.) For portability, there are also iphones (which are dropping in price all the time) and some other toys.
There's also hacking a chumby: wifi + touchscreen, but a little too small to be fully functional.
Plus platinum (and white gold) matches everything. I don't think any of my recently engaged friends went with yellow gold for rings or bands. They mostly chose their bands with their fiances, which is really the best way to go unless the guy knows his gf's taste, 'cause making her have to spend the rest of her life with a ring she doesn't like (or have to say she hates her engagement ring) is kind of unfair.
The families I know where the mom works because she is not "cut out" to be a stay at home mom results in very little profit or even a net loss and is generally in a menial job.
I don't totally disagree. I never said I was talking only about about the high end of the pay scale. I know lots of women with kids, and they'd be good stay at home moms to varying degrees. Some of them aren't the best teachers for kids hitting pre-school age, some need the breathing room work provides, a whole bunch can handle it for a few years but don't want to stay home for 5 or more. It depends on the woman. And some mothers are flat out incompetent and don't have much desire to learn (or the intellect, or whatever.) Honestly, yeah, I do sort of think that anyone who can't hack it as a STHM for at least a little bit probably shouldn't even be having children, but plenty of people have kids even though they shouldn't.
FWIW my mom stayed home with us (I've got a twin) for two years, so I sympathize with STHM's, but she also said any longer and she'd probably have killed us. I've done babysitting stints at a large family (5 kids under 10), a month long stint with a difficult kid, and a 6 month stint at a daycare, and the burnouts as bad as anything I've gotten from school/work, so I've got lots of sympathy for STHM's, and for woman who don't think it's for 'em.
Harlem? I'm looking for a place near school now, and 1 bedrooms start at about 1400 a month, but they go fast. (And the guarantor/rent requirements are insane; you've basically got make so much that you could afford something in a better neighborhood.)
5. Some women just aren't cut out to be stay at home moms
I've done stints as a nanny and day care assistant so I guess I like kids, but I'd lose it if I had to stay home with my potential rugrats full time. It takes a lot of energy and skill and a personality that can handle it, and some mothers and children would be far better off if the mom worked and her kids were in day care. (Or if the dad stayed home, but of course the op didn't mention that.)
I'm just looking at the prices though and thinking google's getting ripped off. The NYT article mentioned that the average cost is a fraction of what google is paying, so if the company wanted to they could easily switch to someone else and not lose much (if anything) in competency.
'cause the poster is forgetting that a whole bunch of tech savvy people: a) dual boot b) run a vm c) have multiple comps d) use wine e) some combination of the above
Seriously, if this actually stops anyone from seeing the streams, that person isn't very tech savvy, or just isn't trying hard enough. Lots of posters posted alternatives (like CSPAN).
So instead of expecting to be "marketed to", you gotta bust ass to find a good job...
Hell, I know that and yeah same as you, I've found every job I've ever had through plain old networking and keeping my eyes open for what's out there. I was (as I said in a different post) just trying to explain where the parent may be coming from. Though internships and jobs are slightly different playing fields.
Hell I feel worse for the foreigners 'cause at least half the internships I see posted require US citzenship 'cause they're gov't/military type positions. Really, if an American just wants any ole position, go for one of those. The barriers to entry just dropped dramatically 'cause they're competing against a tiny pool of applicants.
They sit around expecting people to hand them jobs. Then when they can't find them, they blame the companies and college recruiters for discrimination and incompetence!
They really, really don't. The ones who really care go out and look for them (I know that just about every company under the sun posts 'em on their website), but a lot of 'em don't know where to start the search. And yeah, it's not the company or college recruiters fault, it's just a fact of life that not everyone's gonna get to hear about whatever fabulous job came up. I sure as hell wasn't trying to blame the college recruiter/company, I was just trying to explain why the parent may feel like jobs aren't advertised externally even if they are.
Nobody reads the school paper 'cept the kids who write it. Occasionally, when I've got nothing to read, I'll pick it up if it's the only thing in an office while I'm waiting, but honestly it's something people are vaguely aware of, not a way to get the message out. I'm at a commuter school, so don't know it could be different at a school where the campus is more important to student life or something. I figure the best bet for actually getting the message to students is to talk to 'em, through professors, active clubs (ACM, IEEE, and whatever the school has) and the like. That's how the company's with actual campus presence work.
Our college recruiters go through the normal channels to post jobs. All of our interns came from external postings.
That's your problem right there, college recruiters. If they're like the ones at my uni, they're ignored 'cause they blend into all the other recruiters.
Seriously though, I understand where the gp is coming from. I know that there are lots of internships available 'cause I actively seek 'em out or scan the piles of letters/emails/posters that advertise 'em, but I know that most of my classmates are utterly clueless about what's available 'cause it's just so badly handled in my school.
Internships are either announced in emails (which would be useful 'cept the person in charge can't seem to figure out how to use groups and filters, so she constantly sends out positions in a specific engineering discipline to the entire school, rendering all her emails spam to most everybody) or posted on a wall nobody visits. Oh, and occasionally the career center gets word of something or there's a job fair, but those are few and far between.
What I'm trying to say is that I can imagine that many other schools ('specially others ones without insane budgets) would be having the same problems, so often even if it seems like you're getting the word out, your target audience may not be getting the message. Though yeah, your target audience probably will be foreigners anyway 'cause yeah that's most of the people in the average comp sci. program.
Most "normal" people (say, average intelligence) have little to no interest in examining/understanding the world,
Neither do most smart people, who are just as happy to live in their own bubble as anyone else. Look no further then the slashdot comment and moderation system. People like their beliefs and preaching to the choir and don't venture outside that regardless of intelligence. Intelligence just tends to have a slight effect on the beliefs people tend to congregate around.
Plus, too many intelligent people think that they're right and everyone else is an idiot, which makes conversing with them slightly less enjoyable than talking to a wall. (You can at least pound the wall for not being responsive.) I like talking to people who listen, don't really care about how intelligent they are.
So what's wrong with that? Techies who buy this thing for curiosity will have their own, and I doubt underprivileged kids are gonna be that picky. Build it into the advertising campaign: "keyboards for kids: your old keyboard can make a difference" and try to partner with a big hardware manufacture like Dell or HP and see if they've got a crate of old ones somewhere.
Where do people get the idea that the US is a democracy?
Well probably from the fact that many people probably can't tell you why the following statement:
Republic != Democracy.
is true.
Seriously, the two are used pretty interchangeably, and most every politician who makes a speech uses democracy, probably 'cause republic has an aristocratic connotation (which yeah, goes back to Ancient Greece and Rome and the roots of it all.) And 'cause the US being a democracy has been shoved down most American's throats since oh 3rd grade (or whenever school started in on the history/civics lesson.) Yes, I know the bit about the US being a republic is in the pledge of allegiance, but really how many people pay attention to some statement they had to memorize in grade school?
Shouldn't all that matters be the aptness of the comparison?
Sure, theoretically, but in the real world it just doesn't work. It's far too emotionally charged for people to keep a cool enough head to objectively evaluate the aptness of the comparison, and often is only used for the shock value.
For the record, I don't think the comparison is apt. The Israeli's actions are more akin to other colonial powers, not the NAZI's systematic killing and torture on the basis of race/ethnicity. Israeli's treat Palestinian's badly because of the political situation (religion and race are secondary/fueling the whole situation) where as the NAZIs chose the races and then created the political situation, and that's the least of it. Segregation in Israel is nowhere near as bad as it was in NAZI Germany, nor are rights quite that suppressed, (and that's ignoring cattle cars, concentration camps and gas chambers, those other staples of the NAZI regime).
Not that I expected Israel to be happy about all the countries nearby ganging up on it, but I do expect them to handle the 'occupation' that followed in a much better way.
I think to a certain extent they're screwed regardless of what the try, and I think they've tried almost everything at this point. It's 60 odd years of mistakes, many of which can't be corrected. Israel was created pretty much as a dp camp for holocaust survivors, at which point yeah nobody was really thinking about who lived there (collective guilt and all.) It only became as major problem once everyone was too heavily invested in the land for their to be a solution that would satisfy everyone, and every attempt has failed. (Though lately it looks like they're going towards a three state solution that people can somewhat live with.)
It is a wonderful opportunity for the Orthodox in Israel to identify Jews who they may regard as troublemakers.
'cause it's the orthodox pushing this through the gov't? Read the article, and guess what, nothing suggests it, and neither does the current makeup of the Knesset. Right wing hawqs are just as enamored of this nonsense as anyone, and as much political power as they may wield, the majority of the country is secular (and pretty much the entire armed forces) so the gov't can't pass something this intrusive unless somebody besides the Orthodox are pushing for it.
They already routinely do things like refuse to recognise marriages of non-Orthodox Jews, or refuse to recognise conversions ratified by Reform rabbis
And doing weird things with non-Jews like making them do semi-conversions or go to Cyprus (which is what my relatives had to do.) That's a flaw of the country not being able to figure out what the hell it wants to be, and an attitude towards Judaism that's highlighted by this:
Who does the Government regard as being the "leader" of British Jewry? The Orthodox Chief Rabbi, head of a shrinking population of Orthodox who are actually observant.
That's cause for a very large segment of Jews (pretty much everyone not from Western Europe, and plenty from there), Orthdoxy's got the most legitimacy. I see it with my relatives and acquaintances, and hell with people I know who are conservative/reform/non-observant/traditional/everything in between. Picking Orthodoxy is often the least likely to offend, and honestly for anyone ignorant of the insanity that is Jewish denominational politics it's the easiest. Though I'm in New York, where our politicians pander to every sect.
Basically, dude, I think you're batting at a straw man here. It's not orthodox Judaism's fault that the law's messed up, it's the state of Israel's.
Seriously? 'cause looking at all the posts, the two are used pretty damn interchangeably.
Not that I disagree with you. You're right #'s really don't have anything to with the article at hand. It's a bad move whether it's a country of 7 million, 70 million, or 700 million.
Do you really believe that saying that Israel behaves badly toward its neighbours and even its own citizens means you are prejudiced or hostile toward Jews?
I think it's the Israelis = NAZIs that's assumed to be anti-Semitic.
Hell, I'm more on your page (don't like lots of Israeli policies, hate this new measure, think it's wrong in a lot of ways, setting a dangerous precedent, etc.) but I think the NAZI comparison is pushing it.
I'm a weird brand of orthodox liberal Jew, so my pet peeve is Israel=Jewish state=representative of all Jews, but while that's the status quo (which it probably will be 'til the country implodes), yeah Isreali=NAZI=Jew and comparing people to the people who killed 'em is kind of tasteless.
I've only got 512MB on my comp, and every RAM upgrade I've tried has been a disaster. I've considered virtual box or vmware (even looked at how to get the vm talking to the dual boot sector) but with no RAM, it's just not practical. I'm the opposite-I use Windows for almost everything and only switch to linux for some coding.
loading each OS on their lonesome allows for maximum resource availability
Especially important on a resource starved system. I've got maybe 512MB of RAM, pretty much the bare minimum for VirtualBox and Vmware player. The VM will probably crash before I can do anything useful with it.
You don't want to throw out the shiny OS that you paid a tax for?
I dual boot XP and Linux and I'm not a gamer; I just have a laundry list of programs I've gotta use for school that only work under windows and I don't feel like dealing with wine for all of 'em, but I like writing code in linux. People who buy new laptops aren't gonna magically be in a different situation. My lab has dual boot linux and vista 'cause it came with the computer, the harddrive is more than big enough, and occasionally there's something worth running in windows.
People don't use Macs because the GUI is pretty. They use Macs because "they just work"
People do buy macs 'cause the hardware is prettier, which I think is what most people think of when they think Mac eye candy. At this point, Windows just works about as often as Macs do,(meaning just fine as long as it's used as intended) so usually once cost/functionality are factored in, it probably does boil down to eye candy.
Another reason things just work is 'cause Apple GUI's tend to be fairly intuitive, so it's easy to get things working, once the user gets accustomed to it. Lots of FOSS UI's aren't up to par with the typical mac offering.
It would provide you with "new section" "header" "book title" "emphasis." Not only that, but it would be aggressively difficult to work in the word processor paradigm. You want this title to be italic, and this one bold?
Um, you can do all that with word, it's part of the templates toolbar.
Wouldn't recommend it though unless you plan to use word for everything 'cause it'll take a while to figure out all the kinks.
