related to this is the joke of a document that is the CA constitution. if the US constitution is like the three laws of robotics, enumerating a core set of principles from which other principles follow, without containing any fluff or extra junk, the CA constitution is like that scene in Robocop where the citizen's commission filled Robocop's head with dozens of directives like "don't jaywalk" and basically shut him down.
Case in point - there was a big fight over whether or not to legalize indian casinos. At a statewide ballot the majority voted no. So the casinos reorganized and put a constitutional amendment on the ballot 4 years later, which requires 2/3 vote. Due to better organization the constitutional amendment passed.
I wouldn't be surprised if the teachers try to get a constitutional amendment that gives teachers special privileges.pretty sweet to be in a politically connected union and have no ambitions other than riding your current job into a fully-paid retirement at age 55.
this is the best news to happen to k-12 education in a long time.
some background facts. primary school tenure was first designed as part of the progressive movement in the early 1900s. At the time a teaching position was a super sweet patronage position that a politician awarded his friends. teachers didn't actually do anything, and were replaced when the next pol came in. Nobody was learning!
one of the successes of the progressive movement was to make a professional class of primary school teachers who were insulated from political fortunes and were professionally schooled in the art of teaching. This was accomplished through employment contracts that made it really hard to fire teachers.
but the reasons that necessitated tenure are long gone, and all teachers are protected under the standard laws for hiring and firing, which cover us all. They also have a strong union that will ensure protections. So there's no need for special laws that give teachers more advantages than everybody else at the expense of their students.
If they're banned in enough places, and enough people get their jaws cracked when they insist on wearing them in other places, then it will sink in: a lot of us DON'T FUCKING WANT some asshole recording us in public and putting it online with not even a chance to consent.
+1 insightful. GG will go down in the flames of an incinerator as a horrible product that allowed 1% of people to annoy the other 99%.
I have never heard of alamo draft house, but now that slashdot has advertised them to me as a sensible business that bans the glass holes, I will look up if one is near me!
I stand corrected. Overall I am impressed by the array of tools apple bakes into their software to reduce the amount of stuff stolen by marketers. marketers are evil and can kiss my butt.
Except google doesn't do the same. I see this as a strategy to push the adoption of I beacons. If you get I beacons then the functionality will be restored. At least the user gets benefits from I beacons like indoor nav.
for me I was done with L&A when what's his name left the show then passed away. You know, the guy? and then the DA guy left, and I was double done. then the captain woman left? forgettaboutit. L&A SVU is still enjoyable. ise T is awesome! but the other guy left so that takes a lot of fun away. the other guy is like an awesome bruce willis. its a shame eh never did action movies.
dude fitness and athleticism is more than being strong. it's a way of being and a way of living and it makes you feel great and look great. if you consider this a "waste of time" then I feel sorry for you and assure you that having "enhanced muscles" will just wreck your body. because you'll have an unhealthy body with muscles that will damage it. soon you'll be having surgery on your knees and rotator cuff because your body is too weak and ill for your big muscles.
reposting because i responded to the wrong person.

dude, america's back. we're the factory of the world. apple is just the start. they have the money to overcome the first hurdles, then we start to have a growing trained expert workforce. america you get high technology high quality products mostly automated by robots.
what's great and unique about SMS is you can send a SMS message to any cell phone and it will chime and the user will get a notice. maybe if you know that a person has snapchat you can snapchat your butt or whatever. but snapchat will die, so will everything else. sms as a technology isn't going anywhere.
Pick a field outside of the military (or even inside the military with rocket engines coming from Russia) and it is a shambles, especially with computer and electronic equipment.
mac pro made in america. moto made in america. model s made in america. prediction, 10 years more than half of apple's stuff will be made in america.
I can ten-finger type on an ipad, the difference is they're no tactile feedback so I need to keep my eye on the keyboard. but the keyboard blocks most of the screen anyway so there's nothing else to look at.
doesn't matter. he's pissed that he was charged $750 and now he's telling the world. If ATT can enroll in a data plan for $30, then MBs must be $1, so $15/MB is outrageous. Better to treat customers fairly.
Why not automatically enroll him in a (non-renewing) $30 charge, and text him that? that seems like it would result in happy customers that don't tell the world that you're horrible.
Yes but technically Russia would have to go through the United States ticket to Canada, so the US would probably be on top of any incursion before got to Canada.

You have to remember the Alamo is full of self righteous douche bag hipsters.
remember the alamo!
I'm in agreement.

Replying to my own post. This app is also available on the 1Mobile Market.
Danger will Robinson! holy Chinese mobile malware batman!
heavy manufacturing is the cornerstone of the nation. can't spell america without "I", "me", and "a car"
agreed, uncalled for.
I obviously made an error. I didn't realize that you are the second coming of our Lord and are infallible. Please have mercy on us sinners.
thank you for cutting me down when I was supporting your position.
how come nobody has mentioned xkcd yet? it seems very relevant to this conversation.

Our hardware (also software heavy) start up was recently acquired for an exponent of our annual gross revenue.
hopefully the gross revenue was >> 0 and the exponent was > 1
yeah but if your light is detachable, then you can take it inside to charge it or whatever MIND == BLOWN
whatever dude. LED lights are for pussies. I use class IV lasers to burn holes in anything that is endangering me.
