Teaching proper language skills to students is a job requirement.
Requiring a teacher to teach a without an accent is appropriate where the students are learning the language. That is why schools ask for native Spanish speakers to teach Spanish.
One picks up accents that they are exposed to. Do you want students learning "proper" language? Of course when teaching post secondary, it is not important as the language skills are solidified.
I started in 1978, when I saw a film on computers. The I took a couple of courses at MIT (Fortran and LISP.)
When I wanted a computer, my aunt told me that only rich people had computers at home for toys. Then she told me that, computers were just a passing fad.
"It's called the 'theory' test. If you are too dumb to pass that test, you are too dumb to drive. End of story."
Then the test is not working. My daughter is 4 years old, she knows that green light means go and red light means stop. Many drivers don't understand that.
Hell, even space aliens know that. "I watched you very closely, Red means stop, green means go, yellow means go-very-fast."
What about an IQ test for drivers? What about yanking out the radio for people on the lower end of the scale? There are some people out there who can't talk and drive at the same time. There are people who are so dumb they get their ashtray confused with the window.
Yeah, the pilot will put the gun to his head and hold himself hostage.
"Drop your guns, or the pilot gets it." "Oh that poor man, can't somebody help him."
As the pilot drags himself to the cockpit and takes over the control from the pilot, the pilot would force the pilot to crash the plane into a building.
It is a defensive act when going up against large companies with large litigation budgets and large patent portfolios.
If you have a company with a product and doing business that sues Apple, then Apple will just file a bunch of patent claims against you whether or not they are valid. They have so much money, they think nothing of litigating an opponent into bankruptcy using bogus claims and junk patents. If Apple would have someone who finds a phone at a bar arrested, why wouldn't they try to litigate someone into bankruptcy?
From what I have seen, Rule 11 sanctions are very rarely imposed. I have several cases improperly removed to federal court, and the code provides for attorney fees and costs for improper removal. The Court consistently refused to impose those costs.
This is similar to the rules which prohibit attorneys for committing perjury. I had seen one case where the tentative ruling, written by the law clerk, state that there was no 998 offer sent, despite the sworn statement by defense counsel. The final ruling was unchanged except the finding that the attorney lied.
It takes a lot for the Court to rule against an attorney.
On the other hand, is a legal position frivolous, or is it novel? Where does the line gets drawn?
"Even if money ends in hands of "illegal aliens", they'll spend most of it consuming local services and satisfying basic needs. That will create jobs and stimulate economy."
Really? They also take a much greater share of the services as compared to the taxes or economic benefit that they generate. They also will lower the wages for the people who are LEGALLY here.
You are as brainwashed as the person who told me that without the ILLEGAL aliens that lettuce would be $10/head.
Yes, put the money in the hands of government so that it can efficiently spend it on bureaucracy.
Let the government spend it on the care,feeding, and education of illegal aliens while ignoring the needs of people who are and have come here legally.
Lets keep giving government workers raises, while non-government workers pay is cut or eliminated. And lets give the members of congress, and their staffs raises, because that way we can't squander our money.
Lets give the new San Diego State University president $400,000 ($100,000 over the previous) a year job while raising tuition for students because there is not enough money in the budget.
Ask that they state which software package is being used without proper licensing and on which machines so that you may properly investigate it yourself.
If the police come to your door and say, "I know you are breaking the law because of an unnamed snitch, please allow me to look around to see what I can find to use against you...and by the way, I get a commission from convictions." Would you allow them in?
This is in preparation for the impact of asteroid 2004 MN4 (Apophis). Once that happens there will be no life on Earth. Without UTC, we will have to leave a person on Earth so if we want to know the time, we will have to call him -- like the old telephone time service.
They see the value in it, and decided it is not worth it.
They sell crap software, then charge maintenance fees or require upgrades to get software that fixes the bugs.
Sometimes maintenance or upgrade fees are valid where is includes support, or the platform changes (ie. new versions of OS, or tax code changes, etc.).
I object to having to pay support to report a vendor's bugs to them.

Wadda yu friggin talking bout?

Don't tell anyone, but they changed the nuclear missile key to 1-2-3-4, because the soldiers kept forgetting that it was 1-1-1-1.
Spam is UNSOLICITED!
If people signed up for it, then it is not spam.

"It didn't do Mr. Watt any harm."

Now it will be Police Academy MCXXXII.

Maybe we should take those people's licenses?

It can come from the shark, that is why we mount lasers on sharks.
"I can see it now. Whatever this is, it's big.
Two cylindrical projections on top, one below."
Then we lost contact.

Resistance is futile.
Every high school has at least one student that builds a fully functioning nuclear bomb for their science fair project.

Send Bubba some instant cialis tabs and penis enlargement pills. We don't want Wallace disappointed in Bubba's size or performance.

I agree with the above, but I would go further.

It still will be a BSOD, the Brown Screen Of Death.
It is called humor dammit, even though it may be shitty humor.
You can order it from the ACME catalog.

BTW. My righting is always purfect.
