Well, I really have no idea how well you two know each other, but it's a sure good way to find out. You could always try to sell her a "Get Out of Jail Free" card on the street.;)
I don't think so. Even something as free-formed as wikipedia has caveats as well. Both have their strengths and weaknesses:
- one's free, the other isn't. - one's updated in the blink of an eye many times to be filtered, altered, retouched, changed and quite possibly modified; the other has to wait a year to be filtered, altered, retouched, changed and quite possibly modified. - one requires a computer, the other requires a lamp or the sun. - one weighs many pounds and takes up space, the other can fit in one's pocket without ripping a hole in it. - one requires an internet connection, the other requires a decent wage. - one provides faster access to cross-information than the other. - one provides constant access to information than the other. - one could break your back, the other could break your carpal tunnel. - both are enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee or tea. - both provide the potential to provide the answers that people are looking for. - both are used extensively whether anyone likes it or not. - both will continue to be used extensively whether anyone likes it or not. - anyone that would condone burning either to the ground could be considered to be a nazi. - the definition of nazi can be found in either one. - the world will continue to rotate on an axis whether or not either one exists or flourishes. - one should generate a printed volume, the other should provide an online edition. - both provide the information required that proves that competition works better than monopolies do in more ways than the other.
Spam Arrest is, unfortunately, wasting their time and money. Spam is food and food is more important than software. People need to get their priorities straight.
I'll go to Staples or NewEgg before I go to Best Buy. How else would the tiles get there? It's clearly Best Buy's mistakes and that is known as price gouging, for the customer paid the money and didn't get what he paid for. They started to fix the problem, but before it got done, they pulled a bait and switch in the customer's face? No, you do NOT tell a customer that you'll fix the problem, then get 99% through the procedure only to abort. BAD Best Buy, BAD!!! Screw that, Best Buy is on my boycott list.
In 1996, I finally caved in and went from WFW3.11 to Windows95. 1 month later my monitor died. 3 months later with no computer in the interim I switched over to OS/2 Connect Version 3, and eventually to Linux in '97 which I have stayed with ever since then I have flipped distributions from Redhat to Slackware to some LOAFs and finally onto Debian which is what I run on just about everything today I can go to http://www.knoppix.com and download an iso of a fully operating Linux distro complete with a GUI on a bootable CD. These things rule because you can test it on a system first to see how well it will handle Linux. If you want to test Windows, you need to get one of those activation keys these ddays which cost a buttload of money, on top of which your system will turn into a spamwh0re! As quoted earlier (and I still scrutinize the number), 80% of Windows PC's on the internet are the cause and spreader of SPAM and virii. I don't have to worry about some corporation trying to play catchup with the worm that was released 20 minutes ago when I will more likely have a patch for the problem in about 5 minutes.
you can make a living using Photoshop...you'll go hungry using gimp
Simply untrue. I use the gimp and i make money from its use. You simply have no curve and are trapped in a microsoft-world. You refuse to even give something else a try. Nothing wrong with that, just don't go slamming something you don't know intimately.
Ultimately, as I have learned about myself, the brain is attempting to multi-task. I know, it sounds kinda weird, but if they can walk down the street and 'catch everything', that is, they simply 'know' when a car is coming so that they know when to pause, or to check the corner of the building as they're walking by it to make sure someone else isn't going to walk into them, then they're multitasking. The main goal there is walking - while everything else is secondary. Sitting down to write a report is much the same, except the variables are severely limited - you want to write but gathering the thoughts together, even to jot down ideas, can be extremely daunting, especially if the subject bores them. The person really needs to get to know themself and be informed of these things rather than being kept in the dark about anything related to them.. I'm not implying that that is the case, but for me it was, and THAT was a costly set-back that I refuse to let happen to any kids that I ever have, even if they wind up having ADD/ADHD or not. BTW, if your kid is ADHD then they are hyperactive, that's the 'H' in ADHD, otherwise they have ADD. Think about it.:)
Funny, anyone can 'say' they have ADD/ADHD, but to truely know for sure, through a technical and professional diagnosis, is the only true way.
Parents who don't know how to teach their kids control are obviously not to bright themselves - calling the doc to tell them that, then the doc can perform a search to see if the parent's claim is true or not.
I never took Effexor, but I have heard about it. Personally, I never had any uncontrollable negative outbursts (unless someone sparked me to that point, which I think is only natural) so I would have to say that it sounds like such things occur due to habitat. Just my $.02.:)
I personally was diagnosed as having ADD and tourets when I was 5 years old. I too was on ritalin until I was 17. I never did anything like this newfangled neural thing, but it does sound interesting, and in the name of science and all things geeky, it sounds like A Good Thing(tm). Ok here's my reasoning:
1) Each person has their own issues surrounding their ADD/ADHD/whatevertheyhave.
2) I was born in an extremely populated area (Silicon Valley) but I was 2 years old when my parents moved to a less densely populated area (western new york). My parents couldn't figure it out. The doctors MIGHT have put a finger on it, or perhaps managed to figure something out along those lines... bottom line was, my brain was too used to a lot of things going on and suddenly being in a place devoid of such occurrances caused it to become 'out of sync' as it were.
The ritalin was able to help a bit in that manner, it helped me focus, only it was not 100%. I was able to focus on somethings for the short term, but of course I was a kid so my mind was still trying to faster than everyone elses, it seemed.
When I graduated from high school I ditched the ritalin because I wanted to experience life without it. And it worked! Only it took me so many years to put many other pieces together, which I think was a rather negative side-effect of ritalin in general.
3) I also had nervous ticks.. got picked on a lot.. that sort of thing.. eventually I equated it to the spurge in population that had never occurred in human history before - there are more humans grouped together today then there were 80 years ago. The amount of issues that everyone deals with has increased sharply in that amount of time. Bottom line here is, when something happens, especially post-9/11, it's much more noticable. I just accept it in stride and move on.
Am I the only one here that remembers AOL from back in the day? I'm talking 1994 here. Had it for a month, then they cancelled my account behind my back with no prior warning because i downloaded too much stuff. Back then, all they had was email. Now AOL is getting all restrictive again. This doesn't surprize me too much, but it'd be nice if they would keep the 'net a friendly place. I guess the current neophytes have prevented such action.
If, by definition, an OSS OS is a threat to national security because terrorists use it, then corporations such as Microsoft are suddenly the good guys because they perpetuate closure against the public, allow mass distribution of vulnerabilities to propogate unchecked, take more than 24 hours to fix those problems, have a higher stock value? Are they really saying that they're merely too lazy to sit down and learn things? They think that because they've already graduated that any new sort of 'way' is simply wrong and must be scrutinized as such because it has had the time to develop into a much more mature environment that is 'free' from direct control? If they want control over it in any way, they'll take the time to learn the system, particularly if the current alternatives are really that insulting to their level of so-called intelligence. Oh, but don't let us, the people, have our voices heard, after all, money talks and bullshit walks.
*cough* X11 has had this for over a year now. feel the beatdown. (and get your facts straight: it was open sourced before it hit the m$ and apple alike. yeah, it's a nice feature, but it's not a necessity. nothing more than useless eyecandy. but since longetivity is your forte, I will gladly lay this smack down upon thee.:-) )
tension cords would work, but with nanotubes just around the corner, it might be feasible to use those. with a soft shell with a stronger inner-shell to absorb and distribute outside pressure, and at the core would be the technical side, it could be used to control mass distribution, allowing it to be steered in a general direction (depending on the wind speed, etc). It wouldn't be a precise turn like the rovers, but it would be better than going aimless.:) of course, someone could up with a better idea for all i know;)
it has been my personal experience that the pros and cons originally outlined in the article both pertain to a 'split', if you will, in today's youth. There are those that are technically inclined and those that are not. This has been the trend over the past hundred years or so and the number of those technically inclined appears to be increasing, with 'con'ned effects. While this is both good and bad, it is difficult to say which way the trend will continue in the future.. while technology helps us out, it also hinders the younger generation in that they don't really learn about older things until later in life, thus creating a rather nasty 'gap' in learning curves.
