Yes, but in college I had a faculty member in genetics, the man definitely knew his stuff, but as a teacher he was more or less a complete flop. Yes, the requirements do need to be reasonable, but just because somebody knows their field doesn't mean that they're qualified to teach. I know that there's this common conception that teaching is easy if you know how to do the tasks, but that's really not true.
The point is, that having to demonstrate capability exists for a reason. Sure it is cumbersome and probably could use a modernization and culling of some of the requirements, but it's there to try and minimize the cases where teachers are thrown into a classroom environment without being able to teach.
As opposed to someone who could not teach and was incompetent in the field?
And I encourage a everybody else to boycott Chick-fil-a. As someone who is not a xistian, I find the corporations stated purpose of "Glorifying God" and imposing their religious doctrine on employees incompatible with my own beliefs.
I boycott it every Sunday. Is that what you meant?
I'd recommend reading up on Walmart and the effect that their music buying preferences have had on popular music. They're a huge retailer of music and refuse to carry music which has a warning label on it. It gets bizarre at times like when they refused to carry Nirvana until they changed the names of some of the songs. Didn't actually change the songs, just the names, dropped the warning and were able to be carried. Most artists aren't that lucky and have to compromise their artistic integrity in order to live up to Walmart's rules or release an alternate version.
Check out the second paragraph

Musicians should should flaunt that "We aren't Walmart's brand of music."
Why not try it with Amazon? I think they'd notice if the geeks were to put their money where their outrage was.
This guy would also defend "No jews allowed" or "Whites only" on private businesses. The dream he chases? I want none of it.
Perhaps you're right - I don't know the "guy". But from reading his post (to which you replied) I didn't get that he racist or bigoted, only that he was mistaken about what censorship is, and that he was claiming that a company can constrain what it sells in America.
Perhaps you're right that he's a Right Winger, but then I don't get that from his post. Perhaps he is an Independent?
I'm still interested in the legal ramifications of Amazon removing purchases titles from Kindles....

Being of the church of Stallman, this article feels like lip service to open source, with an apologists focus on oracle and an all-around marginalization of the GPL in favour of the BSD license and supposed adoration of Larry's new pay model for traditionally open source apps.
that having been said, ill be blagging this on my gopher site if anyone needs me.
New pay model?
Wasn't SCO was charging for their open source software more than 10 years ago? I've managed to actually blot out the name of the package though.
Chances are they will enforce it strictly on everyone except Muslims who insist or wearing a kamize and hajib who will be told "of course wear what you want, our culture is subservient to yours"
This is not a troll. It is a commentary on the double standards which exist in the UK and other parts of Europe. They have a double standard for driver's license photos and for airport security for muslim women.
If the muslim woman can't take her mask off to have her picture taken, if it covers your face its a mask by any other name, she shouldn't be driving either.
Just holding them to their own standards, can't claim one without the other.

a war with South Korea would involve nuclear weapons, and '[will] not be limited to the Korean peninsula.'
So what they're saying is if tensions rise the only safe response is to proactively nuke North Korea until they glow.
Well alllll righty then. B-bye now!
Mreh, bad idea. Pretty decent chance that, through sheer trolling willpower, Kim Jong Il would survive and become a superpowered nuclear mutant. He's a persistant little bugger.
No. Hurd was started in 1990, Linux in 1991. The GNU project had about 7 years of development and a lot of it was adapted to run on Linux for a feature complete OS.
Actually you are correct. I had HURD, confused with TRIX, and the date on TRIX was 1986, not sure what date it was started, but I had that confused with the 1983 date on the GNU project.
Looking at the HURD documentation, It looks like HURD doesn't even run on bare metal, but runs on top of GNU Mach microkernel.
It also looks, like TRIX was even developed back in the 70s.
It yeah, its better than I said it was; for HURD. But also much worse since TRIX, the first GNU Kernel, developed back in the 1970s.
Instead to sticking to the leaking criminal activity or human rights violations, leaks decided to just release everything they were given without regard to consequences.
They are now actually aiding countries like China and Saudi Arabia by exposing all the US information and opinions on them.
if those companies are not FOR freedom of speech and information, then it means they are enemies of it. REGARDLESS of their reasons. a tool for oppression, is a tool for oppression. it doesnt matter zit, whether the company shows business reasons as an excuse.
If, you are helping censorship, oppression, it means YOU ARE HELPING CENSORSHIP AND OPPRESSION.
Wikileaks is actually helping censorship and oppression by publishing documents containing information on sources given to the US in confidentiality.
There are already a bunch of non-substitutable components that can't be used because of RoHS. Adding arsenic to make faster electronics is just not going to fly (it doesn't matter if current methods are just as toxic, everyone knows about Arsenic and RoHS is half PR). Researchers should be concentrating on making electronics less toxic so we don't keep poisoning African and Asian kids (working for electronics "recyclers") with last years iPhones.
Do you realize that these chips aren't edible don't you?
Also, as far as coming into contact with the actual chip, those things are embedded in their packaging, and not exactly removable without destroying them, or having very sophisticated equipment and a cleanroom.
And for what I can tell you know exactly jack shit about semiconductor manufacturing.
And those kids who are getting poisioned? Those aren't the chips that are poisoning them. Those are things like fumes from the solder, flux and similar materials used in the large scale manufacture of electronics.
A legitimate critique of Palin would be that she considered Russia being visible from an island of Alaska, as saying something useful about her international experience and foreign relations.
Since when has the truth actually mattered, especially to a Republican?
The conservative fuckers still like about Al Gore saying he invented the Internet.
The biggest problem I see with the Democrats is they aren't willing to fight the conservative fuckers on their own terms, that's why they lost congress. They didn't use scare tactics and lie hard enough.
And nothing is going to change my mind about the lying Republicans and Teabaggers, not till the likes of Rupert Murdoch, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sarah Palin are all living in homeless shelters.

At this stage what we really need is for the Democrats to grow a spine, and tell the Republicans to put up or shut up.
Democrats have had control of the Presidency, Senate, and House for 2 years now and things have not gotten better at all, some would say worse.
So tell us again who has to put up or shut up?
Only because the Republican fuckers have filibustered everything.
The fuckers fucking filibustered a bill to help 9/11 first responders because they wanted to keep a 3% tax break of fuckers making more than 250K.

I much rather have state censorship. The state can be voted out. Amazon can not.
I know it's not much, but I vote with my money. If company X enters into a behavior I find horrible, I stop doing business with them.
In fact, Conservative Christians have done with for the past few years, and it seems to work for them. (see http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/15/usa.mcdonalds and http://www.afa.net/Detail.aspx?id=2147483663)

Stallman would eat your keyboard if he saw you describing GNU as Open Source.
Even more reason to do it. And don't forget to call the entire operating system Linux while you're at it.
Being of the church of Stallman, this article feels like lip service to open source, with an apologists focus on oracle and an all-around marginalization of the GPL in favour of the BSD license and supposed adoration of Larry's new pay model for traditionally open source apps.

FTA: "The Met said among the 2,512 suspects caught this year, four were suspected murderers, 23 rapists and sex attackers and five wanted gunmen."
But, what were the other 2,479 (98.7%)?
TFA also doesn't say anything about convictions either.
Are FB apps just an external web page in an internal frame? If they are, surely they're vulnerable to the same attacks as any webapp.
My point being I certainly would not cry if a vigilante blackhat dropped some databases...
Meh, so that happens, not a big deal either.
But I'm certainly not putting my email password into that, or any other social networking site.
Just don't put anything up there that you don't want somebody else's lawyer holding up in court.
Also, if you're worried about FB apps getting access to your schitt don't use them, any of them.

would the bank have still been able to come after him for it or would this have been the tip off that it hadn't "really" cleared ?
Yes, they would have come after him. And they would have hit him with other fees and penalties as well.

No way. GNU projects do not allow the chaotic early linux kernel development attitude.
Better chaotic development than no development.
HURD might be finished if Linux hadn't attracted all the developer attention that wasn't going to the 386BSD derivatives.
Didn't HURD have about 10 years of development before Linus wrote Linux?
Since a sandbox is a literbox and a litterbox is really just a toilet. That would mean they're throwing flash in the toilet. Perfect!
...thereby bankrupting both and teaching us all a very important lesson. Never try.
Funny?
With any luck both parties will bankrupt themselves and the lawyers will get themselves disbarred.
In this case the winners will be the lesser of the evils involved, the lawyers.
With the best result being Rightshaven's lawyer taking this case on contingency and not getting paid either.
Wikileaks did it to themselves.
