A better idea is to federally mandate that privately owned vehicles be limited to four mph. Additionally drivers and passengers must be wrapped in Michelin (tm) tire suits to minimize accidental trauma.
Fernbank Museum of Natural History and Fernbank 500 seat Planetarium, DeKalb County (Atlanta, GA) 70 foot dome and Mark V Zeiss projector. They also have an IMAX theatre. Pretty nice stuff! http://www.fernbank.edu/
"He loaded what was billed as a fully featured OS." No.If you read the article in the Wall Street Journal, he interviewed Shuttleworth who admitted that Ubuntu (at least 7.04) isn't yet ready for the masses. There will be a day when Mark calls him back with a grin and says, "Try This!"
Please do not call them "public" schools. They are "Government Schools". Exactly your point, I believe. I attended both public and private schools. I learned to sit still and keep my mouth shut in both. At least the teachers in the private schools had IQ's above 100...
To quote Albert Einstein, "Make everything as simple as possible... but not simpler".
Don't expect a liberal arts student to understand the Krebs Cycle or Relativity in 3 minutes by
reading any article... Wikipedia or not. (Likewise don't expect a Science major to
understand the nuances of the Doppleganger in Baudelaire's poetry within a few minutes.
Could not agree more! Free Software is all about Libertarianism. We certainly don't need biger government, higher taxes or restrictions on our freedoms. Both sides of the aisle are equally guilty or trying to extend their power and control us, the people who elected them. Remember that in a Democracy, the average IQ is only 100. No wonder we get such yahoos in government!
"First, let's head a couple wagons off at the pass. Let's avoid the vulgar confusion of good writing and good grammar." "Vulgar". Right. And let us avoid using proper syntax, structure and rules in our programming too. After all it matters only that it runs without an ABEND; not whether anyone else can comprehend it, learn from it, refine it or improve it.
No, when Visual Basic 1.0 was first released at Comdex it was Visual. I believe you are confusing it with some of the other MS Basics which preceeded it. The whole idea was bought from Alan Cooper (sp?) who didn't work for MS at the time.
Being a Ham radio operator is like being in the US military. You get absolutely no respect from most people... until they can't do without you. "What an antiquated hobby", they say, condescendingly. Sure. It's the only communications modality which works without an infrastructure... which is exactly the situation in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast right now. -W1DOC
Language is all about communication. You are communicating much more than your thoughts and ideas. When you use incorrect grammar, you are telling me that, just possibly, your thought patterns are as mal-formed and ill-conceived as your expression of them. If you can't explain your ideas coherently; in a cogent manner which at least sounds intelligent, I am not very likely to put much effort into decoding what you really have to say.

The police can arrest anyone of their choosing, and they can be sued successfully for 'false arrest' as well. I think no DA would prosecute this one.
I can see why McKinsey hired you. You 'Get It' and can explain it.
