This really has me wondering what on earth your Linux users are doing with their workstations. 3D rendering? Intense scientific tasks? I mean, sure, storage = $, so I can see why you'd [possibly] want to keep an AV off for storage usage, but really, how many folks use their Linux workstations to their full potential? Nobody (+/-) seriously games on Linux, very few (any?) professionally use Linux for 3D animation... a Linux server will get worked like a horse, but a workstation? This just has me really curious. I mean, I trim everything back that I can (you'll never hear that odd drumbeat when any of my computers start up, for instance), but is a little protection really worth losing, when you'll never use the computers full potential anyway? Not trolling, I'm genuinely curious...
Idiot. An organism doesn't have to gain information to evolve. It just has to survive.
hmm... then how did anything increase into a more complex structure? Survival does not imply progression. Evolution is a theory which has yet to be proven. From a non-religious point-of-view, there is absolutely no reason that evolution should be granted any merit beyond intelligent design. If, one day, a computer program gains self-awareness, would it be correct in arguing that it simply 'came to be', and it did not have an intelligent designer? Of course not. Why are all evolution vs. intelligent design debates always really just deism vs. atheism debates? Why can't anyone consider the possibility of intelligent design without asking 'who'? After all, evolution is simply a theory, not a proven fact. What should give it any further merit over any other not-disproven theory?
Full disclosure: I am a Bible thumper, and I have friends who believe in intelligent design who are atheists. Intelligent design does not predicate a deity.

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - one of the best quotes ever, from Benjamin Franklin, 1775.
Glad to see I wasn't the only one left with a 'huh?'. I just kept reading, because ultimately, it's irrelevant which husband he is. Hence... who cares if it makes sense?
YAY!!!... What, why is everyone looking at me like that? Is it wrong for me to get excited when my home state makes it onto the news? This is a once-in-a-lifetime event!
Working in the medical field myself, I can tell you that digitizing makes things faster, not slower. Back when it was all paper, you still had to take just as many notes and chart just as much stuff... you simply had to do it with a pen, and if you made a mistake, you had to cross it out in red, file it anyway, and go get a blank chart to copy it all onto. Then there was also the travel time aspect; when patient C was issued a new RX, you had to physically walk down to records to get the medication history and allergies report for the doctor. Now you just pull it up on the console in the operatory. All notes that are required now have always been required; the only difference is that now people can enter them with a keyboard, instead of needing good penmanship. Trust me, getting a records transfer from another clinic that does not use electronic records is always a pain; do you have any idea how poorly some nurses & assistants can write?!
The two manufacturers I'm certified by (HP & Toshiba) refuse to let you tattoo most of their motherboard with anything but a floppy. I haven't the foggiest why, but such is the case. Because of that, I actually use them often enough to carry a USB floppy drive in my standard toolkit.
And you haven't done much homework on being an Immigration Sponsor. Thanks to all the ultra-conservative everything-for-me'ists out there, anyone involved in the immigration process is required to sign a waiver guaranteeing that they will not accept any public or private aid for the entire time they are involved in the immigration process (and since my wife and I plan on staying married, that would mean until one of us dies). Basically, that means that I cannot receive and government subsidies. If I do, they will kick my wife out of the country, to put it quite simply.
hmmm sacrifice... I have a $10 Tracfone that costs me about $15/month to make all of the calls I need. Since my second job is OnForce, I HAVE to have a cell phone (and, hence, the Internet). That $15 includes my business-related calls, so a landline (at $25/mo + $69 setup, here) would be a large waste of money. I've never had trouble caused by my cell not working, so that 'safety net' would be a complete waste of income. The only dialup available here without incurring long distance fees costs around $20/month. So yeah, my snail-racer cable is the cheapest option available to me. Oh, and in my original post, I forgot to mention that I would like a diet of Kraft. I have 'Great Value' $.55 mac'n'cheese at least 3 meals a week. And $.10 Maruchan Ramen typically at least twice. So don't talk to me about needing to make sacrifices for the better good of mankind. After all, I've been to the doctor once in the last 10 years (and it cost me $250 for him to give me prescription for cough medicine for my chronic sinus condition I've had all my life). Sure, medical reform is sorely needed... but fining me for not having insurance is ridiculous. There are people out here living in a grand a month. Before taxes.
That's what the parent said; I get to keep my house and food. I never claimed to have a TV [of any size] or high-speed Internet (although I am forced to pay $38/mo for 256kpbs cable Internet. I'd just use the library WiFi, except my second job requires I have Internet access, and I don't have a phone [except a Tracfone], so this is cheaper than Dialup). I'd hardly call my $2 jeans from Goodwill 'fancy'. I work two jobs, and I've signed an agreement with Immigration (because my wife is from Canukland) that I will never accept any public assistance program. I'm already living paycheck to paycheck, and can't afford $700/year for a fine, or any non-subsidized insurance. Thanks, B.O., for driving my family into debt.
Someone mod the parent up, this is the most spot-on comment here. Why do you need pressure sensitive touch when pressure sensitivity is for capturing handwriting, which is most naturally done with a stylus, which can commonly support sensitivity with current technology? For a perfect example of this, check out the LifeBook T-4310 or T-4410.
Wow, that sounds like a really bad testimony for homeschooling. Of course, I've heard bad testimonies before -- from both sides of the fence. Speaking as a homeschool graduate, I can give you a great testimony for homeschooling (and tell you that from what you wrote, my parents had a much different approach than yours, which may or may not relate to why the outcomes were different); I had friends, I socialized with others at homeschool group events on a weekly basis, and after graduating, I've held multiple jobs that required constant social interaction. My wife, on the other hand, went to public school K-12, and refuses to work in any job that requires any serious social contact. I've also known personally several people who did very poorly with public school, had no friends, and were fairly suicidal. Should we use them as examples of why public education is bad? My point is that there are many variables; you can't use one case to define an entire group. I know several reasons why homeschooling has benefited many people; I also know reasons why some people prefer public institutions. Ultimately, however, it is up to the individual; to take away one's freedom to homeschool (as Germany and many other countries have done) is an encroachment on human rights.
Someone please mod the parent up, this is so important to say. If the law isn't there, we need to make a new law, not try to force everyone into whatever we want. If freedom is to exist, everyone needs to be subject to the laws; even the government.
I've seen a lot of these refilled cartridges explode inside the printer, sending you packing to by a new printer (or spend a lot of time trying to clean out the internals of a $25 machine). Of course, if it does explode and you have to buy a new printer, it's the same price as buying the cartridges... so I guess it's a moot point. lol.
