It's better than before, but I'm sure that it isn't as user friendly for blind people as it could be. If they can't make it right, then why should we help blind people?
I like that, but I am concerned that we'd be desensitized by seeing the same faces on there every day. On the other hand, we might be desensitized by seeing too many faces there.
Children?!? I could see how the other things in the list could be debatable, but how could children be on the list, but not adults? Maybe it was written for a different time period.
That is very interesting. I've never heard of that perspective before. Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to explain. I'll have to give it some thought.
It's interesting to see what kinds of side effects we get when we make certain choices. You mention the Boy Scouts. We the obviously know knee jerk reaction to girls doing that kind of stuff, but where would girls learn those values, if we don't set aside time for them? In a weird sort of way, and from a certain perspective, we could honestly say that political correctness would have had a net balancing effect on our society.
That's very interesting. I never thought about it that way.
If I understand you correctly, you're saying that from their perspective, they communicate fine, most of the time. However, I don't think that counts, because good communicators don't use secret codes, unless of course the intent is to hide the message or deceive. In other words, I tie a moral and/or an ideal to the tangible skill. When I communicate, I know that I'm good, if I can get my message across without any feedback. Obviously, there are different cultural backgrounds, but I'm not referring to those types of situations. I hope that that makes sense.
Okay. I'll have to look up more information on Stormtroopers when I get a chance, but what you say sounds reasonable. From the movie about Hitler, that I last saw, he certainly finished off people in the middle of the night, so I'm sure that he has his fair share.
When Hitler and his merry men attacked the surrounding nations, it was bad, and he had to be stopped, but you can't call it terrorism. I consider Hitler and the Nazis to be a very pure form of evil that is useful in debate, but not terrorists.
Hitler and the Nazis were a form of government, for better or for worse, and yet they aren't classified as terrorists by most scholars, news agents or common people.
The KKK is a terrorist organization. Focus on them if you want to find a US people group to put down. And don't blame religion either. According to a documentary, they bombed a church to kill and threaten some black people. If religion is supposed to teach people to be irrational, then it would be a bit more consistent.
A woman on Slashdot admitting that women are fallible? Wow...talk about dispelling 2 myths with 1 post.
Seriously, though, you know for a fact that women play games with each other with confusing rules, in the same manner that they play with us? Seriously?!?
This is perfect example of the problems we face. We might have a person who has the perfect answer, but the crowd can't be moved, because the crowd can't understand the text. All that happened, because the writer didn't have enough incentive to write clearly.
If you bought everything from Europe, then prices would have risen to match the change in currency. You don't buy don't that much stuff from there, so you don't feel the pinch, yet. However, you do buy lots of oil from Canada. Do you think that you're going to buy stuff from us at the same price, if your dollar crawls any lower than ours? You also buy stuff from China, so you're going to have a tough time buying from them if USD1000 were equal to 1 yuan, right?
Regarding the federal reserve, the federal reserve would have to have *some* restraint. It can't just pay the whole bill for every single project, otherwise people would wise up and inflation would occur. It could do that only to some extent. The whole point of the federal reserve is to keep prices artificially low, unless I've been misinformed.
The government does print money. Why else would it create legal tender? I've never heard of a government saying that our dollar is worth more than a dollar of gold. It's absurd. The whole point of legal tender is to create more dollars to increase spending power and the current prices.
Thanks for sharing the link about devaluing the dollar. I think that that was the best 15 minutes that I spent, watching a 10 minute presentation.
I know that slashdot likes to belittle slashdot, and accuse itself of group think. However, if it weren't for slashdot, I wouldn't have heard of Ron Paul, because I don't follow all of the details of the US election.
Regarding the presentation that I watched. It was inspiring, partially because of the music, but mostly because of the content. It's encouraging to know that there is a government official who actually puts effort into speaking about the issue. He really cares.
I work in a Canadian department store, and the security manager told us how he could zoom across the entire room, and read the receipt over a customer's shoulder.
I suspect that the camera's and the recording devices are much more powerful than the screen.
Cool! I tried Digikam, and it works. Thank you very much. I'm relieved to know that I'll be getting a bit more use out of this camera. It'll give me time to look around for another camera and laptop computer. Upgrading it all at once will be better, than just 1 thing at once.
What kind of distro do you use? I'm using Kubuntu, and I am having a difficult time connecting my old Fuji MX-700 to it. I know that I was able to get photos off of it, via the console. For some reason, it doesn't work anymore. Do you have any experience with serial ports and such things? I ask because I think that I'm dealing with a permissions problem.

The last thing we need is more yes men.
Even web sites for blind-people organizations are poorly made.

Thanks for sharing that story. I really appreciate it. You should be modded up.

That's an excellent response. Thanks for the clarification.
In fact, when I last checked, President's Choice Financial refused IE.

That's very enlightening. I'm glad that you jumped into this conversation.

Thanks. If I get a chance, then I will. It'll have to be a very good book, in order to rationalize their actions.

Well, no.

This just proves what I believed all along. It's the women who aren't good at communicating, or revealing their feelings.
Yeah, it's a lot like slashdoting, too.

$0.04? Unbelievable. Why don't people learn?
It's not as bad as you think. Essentially, we were just trying to give the men an excuse for not reading the article.

I'll give Gimp a try later on.
Thanks again!
lol :^)

Thanks for highlighting the positives. :^)
Hmm, thanks for reminding me about colours in a Windows console. Do they even have colour?
