how does having an RFID tag in your gun restrict your rights?
does the serial number on your gun restrict your rights?
no it does not, however, the serial number can be scratched off, and RFID tag can be embedded in the material the gun is made of making it very hard to remove and probably unprofitable if you are looking at making money from illegal sales.
what I find funny is that a Liberal who wants to take Guns out of the hands of Law abiding people is using RFID tags in Guns as an argument about how bad bush is.
the one thing they need to over come though is how to power these suckers.
ideally, they will come up with some sort of power source created from the body, like glucose or something, heck, glucose would kick butt since the brain is swimming in it anyway,
gates would not be the worlds richest man today if IBM had insisted on buying DOS outright or had insisted on an exclusivity agreement of indeterminate time.
their computer hardware accounts for 69% of their revenue.
btw, adobe if you had not noticed is in the software business....
it is kinda easy to rake in the dough on popular software when it costs about one billionth the cost to print it package it and ship it than the price of the software at retail.
aww damn...apple offers a 3 year warranty plan on their iPod...well I guess I will go with Dell or Archos who have a 1 year warranty and no battery replacement plan.
I mean, they use the same internal Li-Ion battery system that has the exact same "short comings"
curse apple for offering protection for my electronics.
I can come up with many reasons, but if you did not know, they all sound very lame to a teenager ( I know they did for me)
by putting it in a context of "it will make the rest of your life more fulfilling" I am not limiting them. if you say "well you need it to be an engineer, a doctor, and a scientist"
the students think "well, I don't want to be any of those"
by letting them know that Math not only will help them in the job, but also enrich their life, it has a greater impact on them.
do you understand the diffrence between a company not being able to make an OS for a box (because of the proprietary code apple puts in Openfirmware)
and an end user having the ability to use open protocols, open file formats, etc. allowing them the freedom to not be locked into the platform?
I don't care if a computer is a black box that electrocutes you if you try to open it up, if I can take the data I create and move to any other system in the world, and can integrate that black box into any system out there, it is open for the end user.
guess what... that is what going to college and getting a degree in education is all about....
it is sad though that 90% of educators and administrators have been working as teachers before the requirements were put in place and most have not even been introduced to Vygotsky except through an in-service where half of the teachers just sit there because they have to be there.
"even if you do not use this in your job, this material exercises your brain. it helps you to think so you can cut through the garbage in the world and see what is really going on. by working at this, you will not be held hostage to the great manipulators in the world because you will have the thought processes in place that allow you to see that those people, groups, and companies are just giving you a bunch of lies"
if you simplify math and science to much, you lose things like what the greek symbols stand for, the kids can't think mathematically very well, etc.
I think that literacy in the math room is a very important step. get kids to write out in english how they would solve a problem, have them restate what a theorem is saying in english. that gets the information working on both sides of the brain and makes the children understand it better.
I think in high school, there should be a "spelling" test for math symbols, so kids must name the quantifiers, notation, and the greek symbols like epsilon and pi and delta.
is to get new teachers in there. the newest crop of teacher coming out of school have been trained with the latest methods that have been shown to work better than the old "lecture, memorize, practice, do it cause I said so" methods most of us grew up with.
I am not condoning dumping all the old fogies that don't want to retire, but just know that the new generation of teachers are open to new ways to teach.

no, what I said was that the world was significantly warmer before the year 1100, then a large amount of fresh water got dumped into the atlantic which in the course of 70 years dropped the temp to about 50 to 55 degrees and it was like that for about 300-400 years. we are now recovering from that event known as the little ice age and this "catastrophic" global warming that is going on is not catastrophic at all, but part of the natural cycle of earth.

could you use the stalks of corn and other agro waste to produce ethanol?
and will this produce enough to increase the percent of ethanol in gas from 10% to 50% or more?
if they can do that, and make it cheaper than a gallon of gas, then we should see a drop in energy prices.

my question is, what car do they drive that does not crunch when it runs into stuff?
and your laptop has a 1.5 hour battery life, is 3 inches thick, and weights about 10 pounds.
yeah, that would be why no one cares about your laptops.
the heat dissipation of the G5 at 2.0 GHz and less is low enough to fit in the powerbooks.
you will not see 3.0 GHz powerbooks because Apple will not create 10 pound 3 inch think laptops like all the p4 laptops you see around.
more than 10 days?
or are you rounding up?
if it has been 10 days, go now and return it for a new one.
thats life.
do you hear people bitch and complain when their other laptops become old tech after 6 months?
it is looking like Apple is going to keep the G4 around for low powered mobiles, just like the Pentium-M .
all that is needed is a 15 inch and 17 inch G5 model, I was hoping that it would be this summer, perhaps in the fall.
as is all business 50% luck.
gates would not be the worlds richest man today if IBM had insisted on buying DOS outright or had insisted on an exclusivity agreement of indeterminate time.
talk about luck.

the graphics display? I have a VGA and a Digital video out plug on my mac.
I know there are two types of Connectors for LCDs, and I know they sell adapters to go from one type to the other and vice verse.

BTW, don't go into education.
did life start here or there first.
that is exactly what is happening, according to a climatologist that was talking on CSpan a few days ago.
holy crap....

that is sort of a good point.
