Umm... polio has not spread within the US since 1983. Look it up, it's easily googled. Even with all of the immigrants, and the international travel, we, as a country, still do not have to worry about polio. Yet we will continue to immunize against it... And they say it's not for the money..
Yay! If people like you had your way, my son would be dead today. We didn't know he was allergic to eggs until he was 20 months old, but if we had followed the standard recommendations, we would have injected him with egg proteins in the flu shot at 6 months and then again at 18 months (assuming he was still alive). His egg allergy is moderate, but strong enough that the allergist told us to never give him anything made with egg, including the flu vaccine. Had we done so, he would either be seriously disabled or dead today.
While I'm not always anti-vax (like chicken pox, which is usually safe enough, and polio, which hasn't spread in the US since 1983 even with all of our international airports..), I'm glad that we decided to wait until he's older and we can probably test him. We will likely be starting him on a modified regiment, with our doctor's approval, later this year so he can have at least some protection when he starts to go to school.
Or maybe the fact that svn takes over 10 minutes to bring up log files for us off the server with a repo of about 30 "websites" each with 250+ files and a total of ~3000 revisions across all of it. Compare that to git where git log runs (like everything else) locally, so I'm not killing the same server everyone else is using. Oh, and its results are back in less than 15 seconds most of the time. I used to use svn, and resisted git as it was so CLI oriented. (And yes, I did learn the CLI commands.) But when TortoiseGit came out, that really lowered the bar and we moved - there's no going back.
Weeeell, maybe so and maybe no. If there's a nurse at the school (likely) then they could be considered a Covered Entity. In addition, some states have laws about disclosure of information about students from the public school districts to anyone who isn't an authorized parent/guardian/etc.
Perhaps because Credit Unions (at least in my area) SUCK. They have almost no branches, their hours are abysmal, and there is no reason for them to have nice customer service policies. I used to be with one local credit union - they told me there was a fee just to get a VISA Debit card! At least with my bank, I have access all over the western half of the US to a real employee, not just a "credit union servicing center" where the connection to the credit union is down half the time. And no fees - I get direct deposit like most people and I don't pay any fee - I get free VISA Debit cards, checking registers, online access, even bill pay (although I refuse to use it). I have found that the credit unions I've interacted with, either myself directly or in one case through a close family member, have had lower quality of service than my local bank.
Darn, and I lost my New World Order username/password, you know, for monitoring my gentile enemies using these cool new cameras. I need to re-subscribe to the mailing list - having to learn things like this through Slashdot is almost embarrassing!
Please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, talk to your pastor. Or any pastor with their head screwed on right. You don't even know how crazy you are.
I had forgotten all about this while I was a Verizon customer. See, their CDMA phones don't have this problem. Once I got an iPhone, it took me a day to recall where I'd heard that sound before. Honestly, I had totally forgotten.
MQ systems connect multiple programs without having to be constantly connected, and guaranteeing once-and-only-once delivery. Banks use MQ to do data transfers, as they know each item will be delivered once. Also, MQ systems usually allow load balancing (say you have a high speed gateway which pipes messages into an MQ and then several hundred slow-processing clients running the incoming queries, then returning the results back out another queue which the gateway picks up and sends back out via whatever protocols it speaks). It's really great for making scalable systems as you can just increase the # of gateways, clients, or whatever as your processing needs increase. I run an ActiveMQ system at work and it can process 40,000 msgs per second at approx 1K of data per message. XMPP would work great (we thought about it) but doesn't do automatic client load balancing like MQ does, and it can't guarantee that if no client picks up the message that it will get delivered when the client finally does pick up their messages/reboots/etc. Think XMPP with a hard drive queue.
Except that you DO inherit debt - my mother inherited my grandmother's mortgage and the house. The debt DOES transfer if it's attached to real property - a car, a house, etc., i.e. "secured loans".
Except that I've been safely behinds cars and suddenly found that they've stopped in a ridiculously short amount of space because of very good brakes and tires. Luckily I didn't hit any of them. And we now have red-light cameras here in Aurora, CO, and when it snows I just don't drive through those intersections, because I CANNOT guarantee that I can stop quickly enough before the light turns yellow - because unless you're in the intersection when it turns yellow you cannot get through quickly enough before it turns red. Problem is - when it's icy you do NOT go through intersections fast, not if you want to live to see another day. I've seen idiots trying to get through quickly in bad weather, and I REFUSE to be that stupid. The cameras have no understanding of traffic patterns, weather, or special situations (like one camera that's right by an interstate on ramp, and the traffic for the turn lane that the camera covers can be blocked by that interstate's on ramp when it's light is red and the camera's intersection's light is green, or if there's a cop that's blocking traffic because they can't be bothered to move someone they've just pulled over to the right side of the road). The cameras are menaces and should be replaced with real humans.
My wife and I, after reviewing the stats, decided that it was very unlikely that our son would get a disease that was vaccine preventable, but also very unlikely even within that likelihood that it would be seriously life-affecting or lethal. On the other hand, 1 in 150 children has autism, which is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE for the families affected! My brother has mental retardation, and that was very difficult on the family growing up. There's no disease, or even combination of diseases, that is/are vaccine-preventable that have that kind of risk. Now, that's not to say that the vaccine causes it, but I have read papers, scientific ones, that argue both sides. At this point we'd prefer to take the very minor risk of him getting a disease like diptheria or mumps, which aren't very likely to be serious or lethal, than him get autism if we can try to prevent it.
Also, please note, the sites I've linked to - they're not crackpot sites. When we did our risk analysis for our son, we used the CDC's own data to evaluate his risk. And since they still haven't figured out autism, we as parents have to make our own decisions. The day they figure out what causes it I will throw a party - regardless of if it's vaccines or mothers drinking milk or the father smoking or whatever. Because then we can prevent it. And if it's not vaccines, I'll happily work with our doctor to bring him current. But until then, I have to make my own decision since the CDC can't tell me how to prevent it (autism).
If you've got Outlook 2007, you can add the private ICS link (see under Settings, calendars, sharing settings or something like that) to your Outlook 2007 Account Settings as an internet calendar. Then, after it's loaded it, do an Advanced Find -> Find all -> Copy all to outlook calendar. You'll get duplicates this way, though.
Except that you can re-validate your iTunes purchased music by simply trying to play it - iTunes will reauthenticate you with the iTMS system. Voila! Fixed and you can now play all music for that account without further restriction or need for revalidation. I've done it time and time again. Not so for WMA-format files - since there's no one source system (like iTMS is) you have to backup and restore your keys or you're screwed.
You should file a format complaint with the HR department - in almost all companies those are added to their permanent personnel files and can be used as evidence in case someone someday does take it to trial. Also, I would send a letter to your state Department of Labor spelling out what treatment you received, that there was no proof, and that you'd like to file a complain against the company - that is available to anyone who requests it (depending on the state, I am not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice!). And finally since it sounds like you weren't fully paid I would mail both the store address as well as Best Buy's HR (anyone in the dept would do, actually) with a certified mail indicating your bill with a reasonable late fee, indicating that it needs to be paid or you will forward future letters to the state Dept. of Labor as well as them. Bug the hell out of them - as you're collecting on a debt there's not a lot that they can do to stop you from calling them and getting paid back (those laws ARE a two-edged sword, hah!).
Just my opinion, I thank G-d that I didn't ever work for any of those kind of companies, although I came very, very close.
Actually, check your facts - the US has the highest incidence of circumcision by far, the rest of the world usually being less than 10% of all boys per year. Here in the US it's around 50%.
Also, although anecdotal, I can say that most moms do not breastfeed in the Denver, CO area, and think that we are crackpots for doing so still at 18 months..
Uh, yeah. Properties are assigned to, or you take their value and use it elsewhere. You can't "call" a property. Methods, on the other hand, can't be assigned to, can be called, and you can also use their return value. That's the only similarity. And it doesn't matter which one it is if you just care about the return value....
Java, on the other hand, confuses me with it's lack of properties (so which function do I call again, and how do I call it, to set this array-like parameter-like value?), and it's distinctive overengineering. Looks like Swing, it's waaay worse than Windows.Forms. And the whole JSP -> EJB -> some persistence engine thing is also overengineered, and memory hungry.
Admittedly, C# is newer than Java, so they were able to avoid a few mistakes that Java made.
Put tape over the stripe. Actually, also put tape over your signature panel. I now have 5 CC #s that my bank rotates through on an almost annual basis, because I kept having to call in because the signature panel would get worn out and start to show void. They finally told me to put tape over the panel to keep it lasting longer (and an eraser would still not work, which is what the "void" words are under the panel for in the first place). I put tape over my stripes now as well to help them last longer, as I've gotten tired of them failing and the bank giving me hassle over getting new cards.
I would love a tool better than either the admin tools that come from MySql, or Toad, or EMS SQL Manager for MySql. None of those holds a candle to Sql Server studio, sadly. I've almost broken down and started writing my own, twice, because of my withdrawl from Usable DB Tools.
And I wrote scripts for SQL Server, and executed them, either in whole or in part, and was able to cut and paste the results (in text format) back into the script so that I could show what was returned for each part. I have yet to find a tool for MySql that makes that happen easily. Also, only Toad seems to like having Editor (or script) files - it's actually the client I usually use, but it too has stability problems (and suckage problems in the 2.0 series, the 3.0 beta is actually more stable, and more useful, than 2.0 production). Also, the fact that MySql can't seem to run EXPLAIN PLAN on a sql statement that includes create table, even if it's from a select, is annoying. SQL Server 2K is able to do that for me...

Apple Airport Extreme 802.11N supports IPv6. If has a public IP on the other side it even auto-tunnels for you - very nice.

Apple Airport Extreme N supports IPv6, will even auto-create tunnels for you if it detects it's upstream is a public IPv4 address. Very very cool.
