Gotta love surprises from the government!! Next from capital hill . . . "You're gonna love this new gun control package once we've passed it and take your guns away so you can't revolt when we increase your taxes again and remove more of your freedoms."
She's said that health care is a right. Last time I checked the US Constitution . . . it wasn't there. "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." [Not so] Strangely it's in the former Soviet Constitution.
The true root of tracked education was to allow those with the "parents didn't read to him" to be taught via different methods, as well as the gifted. The goal of the original tracked education plan was to push students to become better learners and to move "up" to the next track.
I have a good friend with dyslexia who had to overcome it herself. Despite that she is gifted, a little IQ-shy of genius. She is now a very successful programmer and project manager. So my counterargument to you is why do (seem to) assume that those with learning challenges will end up bagging groceries?
With tracked education (the pure/non-liberal-destroyed) students would have been challenged at all levels. Instead of what schools usually are: challenged students not receiving the assistance they need and gifted students being bored by the pace and content.
I'd love to see all of the religions marked for lack of truth. Good method to instill values, but there is no proof . . . no matter how many "science proves this religious story" books there are.
Yes, it's too bad so-called liberals (really socialist) destroy the education by changing programs from good to bad. Just like "tracked education" was destroyed. The original idea was a great method of assisting all students in learning better. Then the the feel-good lefties said that might hurt some students feelings to be in a "lower" track. Notquitecajun sees it also.
1) Global Warming is untrue. (most of those melted ice caps have reformed, no real data beyond the normal climatic cycle, etc.) 2) If drilling were allowed in Alaska and other locations, the price of oil would come down, jobs would be created, there would be more wealth in the economy, we would not be supporting the UAE. 3) No matter how much you dislike an entity, frivolous lawsuits are harmful to everyone.
Well, Libertarians have decent ideals . . . mostly. Republicans have decent ideals . . . mostly. Liberals are not the party they once were . . . they're communists. Constitutionalists have a great name and great ideals . . . almost completely.
Being an active citizen, I am constantly contacting my representatives' offices to express my views for them to represent me. And on this point some have failed at their role.
Party lines be damned. Just be the small government the founding fathers had visualized and not force illogical (gun control), anti-foundation (social programs), and unjust (current tax code) laws . . .
' . . . to unexpectedly find both computer and computer user thus hijacked to defendants' commercial website. '
I find the use of the word 'hijacked' interesting. Is this in the legal filing? How does one make a case based on that word. Sad that court cases often come down to semantics when most people today aren't that grammatically correct. And, yes, that does incluse myself.
How would you apply for a job online? Would a propective employer call or snail mail every canidate that he was slightly interested in hiring? That would seem like a real waste. Might as well send the resume via snail mail.
"Set up a prompting system for new incoming addresses," you say. You mean like filtering with IM's? So now instead of having the spam in your box waiting for deletion, you have to respond to these prompters. More annoying to me. Even if a checkbox list was setup.
Exactly. While I was at school, an instructor pointed me toward the MCSE "brain dump" site. I never bothered to remember it because I am not planning on becoming MS certified. People would go there after the test and submit as many questions as they could remember from the test.
In high schools, first period Chem students would share info on the test to the later period Chem students. How much info can be retained with so little time to cache it?
Was it actual test questions? Or just pointing people in a more focused direction?
How many tests have you taken where half of the "knowledge" was "researchable material?" What year did the OSI model come to be? That was an exam question I faced on a multiple choice exam. I wrote in my own answer . . . E) go look it up because I don't need to know that to set up a network.
Was looking for that link . . . . but you found it first. Is there a statute of limitations to claim patents? I mean if patent a time machine, but never develop it . . . can I claim it when someone else does?
Did I catch the article correctly? This option would be available for businesses. I don't see mention of this option for personal purchase. I am personally not a Dell user, but what about those of us at home?
When I am at school, I am forced to use WinNT w/ MSIE. When I am at home, RH 6.2 w/ Mozilla. I do a lot more browsing at school (due to unchallenging classes) than at home (due to my responsibilities). Statistics . . . never quite right unless MAJOR (impossible) research is done. Query 100% of entire population, allow scaled answers, and give estimated error. Then hope to be within that error.:)
After all, I'm not hiring them to replace my domain expertise; I'm hiring them to get a job done -- a programming job. So I'm going to hire someone I can explain my problems to quickly (that's where the "minimal understanding" comes in handy), and then unleash them to develop a solution that's correct, efficient, robust, maintainable, under-budget, and on-time.
That's a great piece of insight that a lot of managers/employers/HR people need to keep in their hip pocket. It seems too many can be dazzled by the knowledge, but miss the lack of ability to perform their intended task quickly and efficiently!
True, it makes sense to not use a proprietary OS. The open-source is the key. Each government can check out the security to dispell any "espionage" claims before they begin.
The fact that some are going against the open-source licensing is another issue. That would be an infringement. If they want to add their own back doors, then they are going to have to accept the fact that some hackers may check the source and "find them out." That is their issue.
So, the telephone tones, and this. What's the beef? I saw the Australia incident episode of the Simpsons last night. Is there a theme? I guess it's just the outta control everyone sue everyone . . . as on South Park. What next? You named your child the same name as mine?!?!?
That's a great point. Such macro-calculations based on a small population of occurrances leads to the possibility of a large amount of error. Thinking of the Law of Averages, "more to go on" may skew the data completely.
Before I begin, check out ArchiBunkers comment. Lots of good schtuff there. Ya know Linux is a great OS. Web wise, it lacks as a browser. Now some may claim that the times are faster vs NT machines, but the quality isn't always the same. The consistancy of Netscape and Modzilla is low. Lets bring the audio-video up to speed and maybe (Bill Gates forbid) we surpass M$.

I had thought about something like this for marking Law Enforcement Officer common hide points.

Think about how much information you can glean from social sites, blogs, etc. It would be ridiculous not to do some WWW data mining.

Cheer for the oil companies.

Once again, Mr. Rather jumps on a story without any fact checking. More sensationalist reporting to move an agenda.

Good call!
It has to do with force. Just as in "breaking and entering." No crime if there was no forcable entry. That becomes tresspassing. Just a thought.
No . . . not Micro$oft . . . they aren't like that.
