If you hie thee to the law library, read and understand every book you would be required to study to get your JD, then audit the same lectures that the law kiddies are taking, you would not be able to sit for the bar. Even though you could have the same knowledge and skills that any freshly-minted JD possesses, you cannot take the exam and you cannot practice law.
Attending school in this case is a barrier to entry.
Assuming that someone did the time in school, then passed the bar with flying colors, this means absolutely NOTHING. It doesn't mean this person is a good lawyer. It doesn't mean that she will win your case and keep you off death row. All it means is that she spent some $$$ and time, took a test, and got a paper.
This is exactly why the law is so incredibly stupid. Thanks to the quite powerful Engineering SIGs here, if you put MCSE on your business cards and hand them out, you could be liable for a US$3,000/day fine.
The real point of all of this was to limit the number of engineers in the market, so as to keep the salaries up. Same thing goes for architects and lawyers.
Protectionism may be ugly, but it is one of America's most cherished traditions.
So this means the next time someone screws up when they apply changes to/. and end up sending web messages to peoples' emails, guess who is gonna get a little ringy-poo from Messrs Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe?
School doesn't mean jack from a personal standpoint. The rub is that if you don't have a degree you will always have a black mark against you. My advice is tough it out for 4-6 (or whatever) years NOW to get it, then worry about the money later. If you only get the Bachelors, you won't get into the really cool classes where you get to do all kinds of crazy neat stuff, but there's a trade-off--you basically teach yourself.
Here's the rub: it doesn't matter what school you go to, what major you declare, what classes you take. There is only attitude.
If you enjoy what you're taking, you'll do better. If you enjoy stretching and are willing to try new things, you'll do better. If you remember that you're doing it for you, you'll do better.
If you're only going into something for the money, then chances are you will suck because you probably won't enjoy the classes, you won't learn as much, and you'll get discouraged.
Last thing: sit in front, in the center. Ask lots of (thoughtful) questions. That's an easy way to learn, and you'll find your grades will go up, too.
~ to lose ones liberty [the police] must have evidence and further sufficient evidence of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt.
Tell that to the happy residents of Camp X-Ray, Cuba. I guess if the govt simply changes the rules and places you in some doublespeak category, then the normal protections and rules do not apply, huh?
Don't worry; if you're an american citizen (like Jose Padilla-the 'dirty bomber'), then you have nothing to worry about, if being held for months without being charged or having access to a lawyer doesn't frighten you.
That would be unAmerican. I mean, having a home life. Most people think it is normal to work 10, 20, or 50 hours overtime, so naturally, they want to be "in the loop" all the time.
You have it right, though, but I say take it to the logical conclusion: If your job is that "important" that you must be in contact at all times or available at a moment's notice, then please don't bother the rest of us with your problems. Simply stay at work.
Most places have a local gym where you can shower, and food is just a Pizza Delivery phonecall away. All of your clothes can be cleaned at the local drycleaners. You only need to go home long enough to pay the bills. In fact, you really don't even need a domicile, since you don't really need to leave work.
Any family you had is probably alienated by your absenteeism, so no loss there either. Most likely, all of your friends work where you do -- another way to say this is that you have no friends outside of work -- so be a good wage slave and stay where you belong. In 30-40 years, you can come out and we'll all have a good laugh at you.
That's easy! First, set up a folder called "junk" (or somesuch). Then add a filter to automatically move any mail received from "staff@hotmail.com" to "junk."
All you have to do after that is periodically delete everything in that folder.
But hey, if you get your $30-60/hr programmers to sift through their stuff constantly and clean it up instead of doing their real jobs, you'll save SO MUCH MONEY!!!!
It [Windows 95] is no longer a graphic user interface on MS-DOS, but a complete operating system. Although users can see a regular MS-DOS window in the boot process, the system takes over MS-DOS 7.0 after it's loaded completely.
Nope, sorry. Windows 9x is still DOS with a quick switch over to the graphical shell.
If you have your old copy of Windows 95 System Programming Secrets (1995, Matt Pietrek) handy, he has some examples of how those pesky Int 21 calls (DOS services) are still thunked down to that crappy old DOS layer, instead of being completely handled in the kernal, as in WinNT. If there was truely no DOS, there would be no thunking, no crappy DOS layer, and no MSDOS.SYS/IO.SYS/COMMAND.COM garbage.
Microsoft's marketing machine tried (and mostly managed) to convince the world that 'DOS is dead' with this version of Windows. Rumor has it that BillG got totally hacked off by an Apple commerical that compared booting a Mac with booting a WIntel box, and told his minions that the next version (95) better boot right to Windows.
That doesn't make sense. We need to preemptively execute people who threaten to be offenders.
Then, and only then, will we be able to go to "Green" alert.

But you can't use the code snippets directly from a paper book.
Uh-huh. You either run them through a meatware interface between the tree and the cpu, or you can try your trusty scanner + ocr...
And dead trees can't be grepped.
Not true; two different granular greps are available "Table of Contents" and "Index."
Dead trees can do one thing that digital formats cannot: run on any meatware interface, without power requirements. Also, dead tree formats remain viable long after the compiler is abandoned. Take for example, the story of Gilgamesh, which was compiled into an executable approximately 4,000 years ago. I challenge you to successfully run any code compiled only forty years ago (1%!).
LPFM stations are available to noncommercial educational entities and public safety and transportation organizations, but are not available to individuals or for commercial operations.
In other words, you cannot open your own station, bubba. You gotta fork over the $$$ for a commercial license, so make sure daddy either writes you a cheque or you saved your winning lotto ticket...
No matter what legislation we inact, spammers will find a way around it, either by moving offshore or coming up with a creative way to skirt the law, while continuing to fill everyone's mailbox with their garbage.
It seems to me that the only way to stop the supply is go after the demand. Somewhere out there, there are the one in 1 million people who are purchasing the Sweedish-made Penis Enlarger. How can we make it so that guy (or gal!) will need to find some other way of buying goods and services? Institue a Spam-use tax? Pass laws against buying something from spam? Send goons to his/her house?
Probably the number one problem that most people had with LPs is that they didn't clean them. I'm not talking about the stupid brush with the stupid "fluid" because all that does is take off the really big chunks of dust and paper bits from the album cover.
Real cleaners actually dip the LP in a cleanser that removes the oil, dirt and all other manner of gunk that gets down in the nooks 'n crannies. Of course, the price is going to kill some people: $500-easily $3k for a good cleaner. It doesn't make sense if you are Joe Sixpack, but if you are going to be doing some serious listening (i.e., you're a audio snob:) ), then you'll want this kind of equipment. It makes a difference.
And why, for the love of God, are pictures illegal?
[A]nything not good for you is bad, hence, illegal. Alcohol, caffeine, contact sports, meat . . . Bad language, child play, gasoline, uneducational toys, and anything spicy. Abortion is also illegal. But, then again so is pregnancy, if you don't have a license.
Thank you for sharing your concerns about TurboTax. Feedback from customers like you is the best way for us to know exactly what you're experiencing so we can work together to get you correct information and the best solution.
I am sorry that it took us so long to respond to your e-mail. You expressed concern about how product activation will impede your ability to access your tax files in future years.
If you reinstall TurboTax after October 15, 2003, you will not need to purchase a new product license. TurboTax 2002 products that currently require product activation will be activated free of charge, thus allowing anyone to install TurboTax on any computer without needing to purchase a product license. (Example: You activate TurboTax on your home computer and complete your taxes in March of 2003. The following December, you install TurboTax on a new computer. Because you installed TurboTax after October 15, you will not need to purchase a product license.)
If you purchase a new computer or a new hard disk for your current computer, Intuit technical support agents can assist you in reinstalling and reactivating TurboTax at no additional cost.
If you reformat your hard disk or replace your current operating system, in most cases reactivation will take place without you needing to contact Intuit.
If you reinstall the same version of TurboTax on the same computer that it was previously activated on, you do not need to purchase a new product license.
If you install TurboTax on another computer before October 16, 2003, you need to purchase a new product license only if you want to print from within TurboTax, electronically file, or save your tax return as a.pdf file from that computer.
I give through the United Way so I know the groups are worthy of my money.
If you take $0.15 of every dollar and throw it in the street, then give the other $0.85 to a worthy charitydirectly, you'll be contributing more than you do when you give to UW.
If they sold in violation of their terms of license, you just recieved stolen goods, which is a crime.
You're assuming that selling software in ways prohibited by the license is a crime. IANAL, however I seriously doubt there are any laws which require a vendor to adhere to shrinkwrap license terms.
If anyone has information to the contrary, please post some links.

I suspect if you typed "win" after the shutdown you describe, you would again go back into Win95. Thing on a thing, huh? :)
