it's now time for the market to test this. users won't buy it, then adobe and the web sites that put this silly slop into play will be branded as total assholes in no time.
educational supervision and guidance should handle the issue, assuming you are getting teachers who are worth hiring.
part of life's journey is running across the odd "mein kampf" or Imus webcast. just like seeing the dirty old man flashing under the railroad bridge on the way to Billy's birthday party, seeing 20 contenders on the local TV news for your presidential primary, and watching the second world trade tower fall live on TV.
shit happens. you need to learn what it is, and how to cope.
banning the only fully current, if occasionally torpedoed, online encyclopedia is not how you develop coping skills. it's part of the way to develop useless little hothouse flowers who can't think for themselves.
so I'm very dismayed that when we need to take the country back, the democrats have put another functionary of brain-dead scorched-earth "just us" idiots in charge of their PR.
as giant 40-foot toothed chickens chase them across the countryside. protests in England have already begun to protect the foxes.
breeding farmer Clancy Hogtrough said, "Hail, all I wanted to do was slow down those three-legged chickens of mine. Never found out if they were tasty, cause we could never catch 'em."
we hope to re-establish our satellite link shortly for our live report from Cuddles Fernbreath....
deForest was hinking around with carborundum detectors in the early 1900s and built a business selling them around 1903. there's your point-contact diode right there. long before the transistor.
back in the 20s and 30s, most labels would NOT license for broadcast, leading radio to set up their own studios, orchestras, and put out better stuff than the labels did.
the record industry wised up, and started getting all cuddly with radio. which became its jukebox and top promoter. you know, "Now on The Big Zero, 86th caller wins free tickets to Screaming Babies in concert at the Echobowl, 86th caller, GO! With! The! ZERO!! -- here's Pap and the Droolers -- get Nulled!"
here's a hint. those weren't row EE tickets bought that morning, no sir. they were front 5 row tickets the record companies reserved from sale for promotion purposes. you play enough Screaming Babies, you get the tickets and a box of free albums. give 'em out on air and at public events, push WZRO and the record, climb on the spiral and ride to the top of the charts....
then the top 40 of the week on WZRO 860 became the top 20, and then the top 15, and another wave of "kill the payola" went through the bizz, and now it's all hate talkers on either end of the political spectrum spitting on the station down on the other end of the dial. "them silly Internets things" came along, and radio and physical records became almost irrelevant overnight.
and this morning, there weren't any dinosaurs outside my door when I got up....
I've said it before, I'll say it again. the distributors of choice now are electronic on-demand outfits like iTunes and the rehabbed Napster.
if you're doing music, go to them. get a certificate of incorporation for "all legal businesses, including but not limited to music production and distribution," at most a couple thousand bucks in most states, see your lawyer. get on the books at the harry fox agency for licensing. then go to the online guys, get their sample contract, check it out, get your stuff up there. make some webnoise and start selling it yourself. don't do an exclusive contract with anybody, keep your own rights, sell your own CDs at your gigs. do something creative, at breaks have your CPFs put on yellow hats and orange vests and walk among the tables selling direct.
if you're good, and you have a place online to put 64k MP3 samples for folks to listen to, you'll get sales.
if not, at least you don't have the stench of record company weasels on you.
yes, I have filed to patent a class of higher resolution, called "experts."
one of my 548 claims is that "when some person, device, or state is unable to complete a task, it will refer, defer, or pass the task to an 'expert,' which will assist, advise, complete the task, or partially work sections of the task."
why don't you all just start paying me all your money now, so I don't have to sue you all later?
for Canada, then, just work up software at YouTube that puts toques and beers on everybody in those videos when the IP request comes from up north, eh.
it worked for SCTV, eh.
so then should shortwave radios in Quebec have translation software so all the stations you listen to come in speaking French? it would be funny to hear Nutjob of Iran on the news, eh, speaking in French. "Death to America. Get me another beer, eh?"
develop the disk platters with MagnaSee (Reeves, 1956 product) and impress the platters in potter's clay or slip clay. then fire the clay, and you have a permanent archival copy.
I can't reply to this april fools stuff any more, my head hurts.
Fermilab has built electromagnets for many particle accelerators, including SLAC. They are apparently the only source. If you want something else, you have to go to TDK in Japan for fixed-intensity ceramic magnets.
According to an old neighborhood buddy of mine who is at SLAC, when he was in redesign of the linear accelerator in the 80s, those were the only two bids. For flexibility, they went with Fermi and electromagnets.
And they haven't failed yet.
While we're whining about cars, you can't keep headlamps and taillamps in a VW, wiring issues burn 'em out. nobody's perfect. that's why you negotiate warranties in the contracts for stuff.
no wonder you don't dare sign your name. which, BTW, is quite imperfect in itself. Can't stand on the courage of your convulsions, as a rabid right-wing wacko radio commenter used to say.

let the marketplace work....
and they have to refund your money.
if everything goes back to sony as "defective," maybe they'll get the hint.
IMHO they can't call it a "DVD" unless it meets the published specs, including the copywrong protection system.
nothing at all.

I'm aware of is folks going for the ranch dip and the cervesa... at least the way it gets cooked around here ;)

it is axiomatic that guys will always, uh, TEST the electrified wire in a cattle pen.
and the fence charger will tell them that YES, a urine stream DOES conduct electricity.
quite ZAP well ZAP in ZAP fact ZAP...

it's just a matter of who gets into the playground.
if you go along to get along, crosslicensing your patents, you're able to fight with the ciscos and Avayas and the bellcos.
otherwise, don't figure you're going to bring a shiny new knife to the gunfight and win.
lemme see... 999X (dollars to buy the best free agents) over 2x (rest of major league baseball) = profit and championships!
plus fans who hound mere mortals out of the ballpark...
yeah, I think that might lead to better than statistical dead heats.
