Many parents do not know what is suppose to be done, and with insurance changin all the time, it means that a child can drop through the cracks.
I think what they perhaps should have done is carpet the floor. Or linoleum. Barring that, put the damn boards closer together.
I also think it amusing that Kansas was the only place affected 18 years ago. I suppose, in Kansas, neither diseases nor humans evolve?
Illegal aliens are afraid to go to the docs, so do not get vaccinated.
Many illegal aliens can't read english, so it's understandable that documentation would scare them.
The humor comes to an abrupt halt:
Sadly, it was required to rid ourselves of the menance.
What is needed is a program that is designed to track kids and even require them to get into schools. Until then, we will see more and more outbreaks.
"Required?" No, killing children is never required. Your conclusion sounds like both the RFID and national ID card proponents, wrapped into one nice little rights-averse package.
Does your plan include banning home-schooling? What if the parents refuse? Is it jail time for them, for not wanting "the state" to indoctrinate their offspring? Or, simply fine them until they lose their house? (Might as well have put them in jail, then, because you're most likely going to afterwards.)
Just avoid Verizon like the plague. They like to charge you money for things you can do with your hardware for free. They also like to bait-and-switch: I was promised that I could use my phone as a laptop modem. I bought the plan. Tech support explained to me how to do it. I used it for a couple days, then didn't need it for a while.
Then I was traveling and wanted to use it, so I called them up to get the access number. I was told that "customers who abuse this feature are having their accounts disabled" and I asked what do you mean, abuse? They said, "use".
In other words, the $40 plan that I purchased SOLELY because they sold me on the laptop modem deal, cannot now be used as a laptop modem or they will turn off my service and then fuck me gently with a chainsaw. Or something; I haven't read the entire agreement, nor do I care to. My attorneys will, and they'll then recommend my course of action.
(holding back at least 80% of users from utilizing their cpu in favour of the remaining... just give the i386 dudes the source and let them compile it themselves and let's get done with this).
Or how about libraries that step down on lower processors? It'd be perhaps expensive to implement in every application, but if the libraries themselves had it then it wouldn't be quite so bad. At boot time it could start, test the waters, and implement the highest processor features that a) the boot loader/kernel know about, and b) are available at this particular boot.
That would help make an instance more portable, as well; I could move my Linux hard drive from a P4 to a P2 and it would still work, just slower.
Perhaps one of our German friends can enlighten us, but when I was in Germany a few years ago, I seem to remember it being illegal to drive without both hands on the wheel.
Should people be allowed to own fully automatic weapons? RPGs? Artillary? Landmines? All without any sort of license requirements, background checks, etc.
Um, yes? The second amendment says nothing about licenses or background checks.
However, the 1938 Nazi gun control law that our Senator Thomas Dodd (D-Conn.) had translated into English became the basis for our 1968 gun laws.
The price of freedom being eternal viligance and all that.
The governor stop the car from going faster than 146 MPH, but it's still in there. My car was rated up to 173 MPH, and I was going downhill with my foot on the floor. It just... well, stalled would be the proper aviation term, or at least something close to it; it was weird, and the Earth was passing by too fast to really investigate it.
I really, really want to believe this. However, I got an email from MoveOn.com today which quoted Bush in the NYT as saying we are preparing for war in Iran.
What's worse, he refused to take the "nuclear option" off the table -- which means that he's telling Iran, "We're planning to nuke you. What's your response going to be?"
What would yours be? Defense, perhaps? They're 5 years away from a nuclear plan. Does this sabre-rattling seem to slow them down, or might they step up efforts in order to have a deterrent?
It boggles the mind that one individual can throw around our military-industrial complex with such ease. I thought that was the whole reason we had 3 separate rings of government.
Sounds like the suicide is already a significant part of his psyche. Talking to you just lets him see reality, which is that he's covering over some huge incident of trauma by self-medicating. That reality is frightening, deathly frightening, and he would rather die than experience it.
This is generally one of the reactions to rape, although several other lesser violations may cause it. My point is, your uncle has something unresolved in his past in order for him to continue to choose self-medication (or perhaps he just doesn't have any other coping skills).
I feel for him; I hit the bottle regularly myself, and I am aware that it was some vague past trauma but I'm not strong enough yet to examine it. Hopefully I will be before my liver isn't strong enough...
However, I fully intend to live forever (or at least as close to the heat death of this universe as I can (if this universe is, in fact, inescapable)), so I know that at some point I will have to examine it. Hopefully by then I'll have backups, so even if it triggers the "suicide meme" I'll still survive it.
Wow. Your name is apt, dirtyhippie; you read way too much into that in a very tripped out manner.
He said "Now I know what that guy felt like at the burning of the Hindenberg back in the 30s."
He had the same experience: the camera began recording "by accident," and it turned out to be fortuitous.
You're the one that raised the etching on human consciousness. Is there such a thing? And just because the aftershocks of the similar situations may turn out not to be similar, is a reason to ask for a break?
So... If we could some how figure a way to translate our consciousnesses into photons, then if we transmit ourselves (and, why not, multiple copies as well) in directions in which there's empty sky, the chances that we'll live longer than the universe are very high.
Of course, with us not experiencing time due to traveling at c, I guess it's difficult to imagine what existence would be like.
They lack the critical thinking skills to delineate "God did it and I don't question him!" from "God did it, and this is *how*!"
Not if they're like my relatives. If they are, then they're worried that people might start believing me when I say that God is actually a quantum construct designed to protect us while we're sleeping; and that we would not likely have created It if the Earth didn't rotate (so we have darkness, where we're individually vulnerable).
Our brains are quantum computers (it's true), so can take advantage of quantum effects; and if you consider each human brain as one of God's cells, then it's true that we created God somewhat in our own image--as something far greater than the sum of its component parts.
Since the US is 19X the land area, but only 7X the population, does that not lead to the conclusion that we should be able to support 2.7X our current population? (Being 19 / 7; the math is: multiply the population by that number, and then we'll have 19X the land and 19X the population, in other words, equal square footage per capita.)
Spain probably has fewer deserts than we do, so it doesn't quite scale linearly. It might be good ammunition for those "the world cannot support all these humans" types--who tend to travel in the same circles as global warming types. (Like how I pulled that back to being on topic?;-)
You're exactly right: the southern border of New Hampshire to Miami, Florida is almost exactly 24 hours.
By "getting there", you mean that's just north-to-south, and is not the furthest (Key West is around 3 hours south of Miami, and Canada is about 4 hours north of New Hampshire's southern border).
Going east-to-west, which I've never done, I would imagine it would take 3 days. Well, Mapquest says that it'll take 49 hours to go from Manchester, MA to Manchester, CA (two coastal cities, close to the same latitude), but of course you'll need to sleep; with two people at minimum you could probably do it in 3 days, non-sleep-stop (still have to stop for gas, food, bathroom). With just one person I'd budget closer to a week, unless you want to fall asleep at the wheel.

That sounds like a Perfectly Normal explanation to me.

Judging from the article, the first thing out of our collective mouths will be our penises.
PS: 420! All day today!
Yeah, and it keeps turning itself off after 24 hours. TiVo has trained me to FF. I still don't look at the commercials, though.
Is that the same Duff as Duff's Device? (Really neat switch/case "feature".)
How do they shift?

Haven't tried it since.

Okay, that settles it: my SSN is all 6s now.
My wife cheated on me with one of their senior developers. She was an accountant there.
So, phishers: who am I?

Not just dirty hippy; angry hippy as well.
I'm guessing it's the nightly updates that does this.
It has trained me to not keep teaching the TiVo to 30-second skip; I just use FF now.
That sounds like fun! Tell one device to punch holes in things, and the other to drive screws into the holes!
It'd be like having a humidifier/dehumidifier fight, except a bit more dangerous to stand in the way of.

So, yeah. This is a big place!
I propose a new law, 1u3hr's Law, similar in spirit to Godwin's Law.
