What I think would be nice for GNUstep is source-level compatibility for OSX apps, though that's probably a pipe dream. GNUstep on Darwin might be closer, but I don't know.
Remember the OTHER parts of those companies. Verizon is as much or more Bell Atlantic than GTE, and Bell Atlantic was part of the old AT&T (as well as NYNEX, a company Bell Atlantic ate up). I think Qwest also ate up a piece of the old AT&T (US West).
While much of the KJV was translated from Greek and Hebrew there is definitely evidence of having translated from a Latin source (Mt 6.34, 1Cor 13, Is 14.12).
A truer example of a Bible translated from the original tongues is the Geneva Bible, for which I have the New Testament available for purposes of comparison.
They're pretty damn close to their pre-1984 size, especially if the BellSouth merger goes through. Let's see, what's left? Qwest, Verizon, Lucent and Telcordia, and the last two are small fries.
Some of us Christians who do not do as the fundies do actually don't like being called Christians, because the term lumps us in with the fundies.
I for one believe that if you try to live an honest life, you're pretty much halfway there. You could say that my beliefs are a syncresis of Christianity, Buddhism and a few other belief systems but I don't think any of them are inherently incompatible, so why restrict myself to one? Jesus wasn't caught hook, line and sinker in the Pharisee trap, so why should I be ensnared by the beliefs of the modern Pharisees (fundamentalist Christians) ?
Some emulators still exist as labors of love. Like AppleWin, or my own Dapple (which is only sporadically updated). It's only the ones for the newer systems, really, that are done for leetness factor, I'd think.
I've never gotten any shitograms from Verizon about my heavy ADSL usage (both ways, up and down), in the 3 years I've used their service. My friends on Shaw in Canada otoh...
Slightly off-topic but still relating to the idea of burnout as being tied to a lack of progress.
Could it be the seemingly tireless repetition of the same damn shit grade after grade, and going through the textbook for half a year just to go through the whole damn thing the other half preparing for the final, makes a lot of kids feel their time in school is wasted doing nothing?
This was true of myself, at least, but maybe it's true of more kids than we think. Perhaps we should accelerate our school systems, and kids will be less bored, less prone to drop out, and get further by the time they graduate?
Well, there is no confusing a Sacagawea dollar for a quarter (as it's a different color, somewhat like a Canadian looney). So that's no longer an excuse.
Some define it as the source is available. Some define it as the source is available and can be freely modified. I define it as the license is GPL-compliant.
Public schools in the US are government-managed and as such, the government's responsibility not to endorse any religions means that the teacher's preaching is more in violation of the First Amendment than supported by it.
And what of people who are both advanced and remedial, as I was? I was in special ed. most of the time I was in school (exceptions being 5th grade and from 10th onward), although I was almost always in some accelerated classes. You'll find not everyone who's "smart" in a few subjects is "smart" in everything.
I really struggled with English. Did great in social studies and well in math. Mediocre in science. And that's by MY standards. (All but 2 of my Regents exams - English and Math 3 - were in the A (90-100) range . Math 3 was 87. English was 72, iirc.)
While we had a nominally "integrated" math system, Math I was mostly algebra, Math II mostly geometry with a little bit of Boolean logic, and Math III was mostly trig.
Yeah. Fuck this whole bullshit about "no child left behind", fuck this whole "spend half the year reviewing last year then half the year reviewing for the final". Even the honors classes moved too slow for me. I think it's very possible to teach the majority of students the equivalent of what they get a high-school diploma for, by the time they leave middle school. If they can't keep up they can't keep up - fail 'em, make 'em repeat.
I have to keep the mouse on a flat surface, I can hold the keyboard on my lap, using a mouse is rather inconvenient for me. I should buy a keyboard with a trackball in it, then I have the best of both worlds, until then I use mousekeys which both Windows 9x/2K/XP and X Window support. (Shift-NumLk in any X I've used.)
