I don't use either much - though I do have accounts on both - but I think until not that long ago, getting on facebook required an email address from a school that they included - so there were things stopping people from being on both. I think, though I may be wrong, in the beginning it was impossible to have a facebook account without being a college student.
The 3-M ergonomic mouse looks like a joystick - but isn't. You still have to move it around like a regular mouse. I think the thing is, they are trying to keep the wrist as immobile as possible and have the motion come from the arm. A joystick doesn't accomplish that goal.
Being a lefty is just hard - The Human Solution has it for less. I am not familiar with them, their level of service, etc. but it looks like they've got the left handed versions for about $70.
I'm fortunate - I write and eat left handed but do just about everything else right handed.
oh yeah - i couldn't do a better job with any of it. and as things built up I was wondering all the time, "How is he going to resolve all this?" so you have a very good point - I guess it just bugged me more after I read Fallen Dragon and ran into the same thing again - basically. But I think Hamilton is an incredible writer with amazing ideas that are really quite fresh and original - not just retreads of what was already done before.
I've really enjoyed everything of his that I've read so far. I have not read the sequel yet to Pandora's star. The endings are the only thing thats not on the same level as the rest.
I'd be opposed to banning that unless it could be connected directly to more than just talk. I don't think the speech alone is enough to take action against someone. And sometimes, calling for violence is the right thing to do.
exactly - not the first time, or probably the last i've had stuff like this posted here - and it's meaningless drivel. saying words is not violence.
i'm not saying speach can't be a component of violent behavior, but that is why we have brains to sort it out. just saying something ought to be done is not enough, there has to be a real threat. you are no real threat to me - whoever posted on that blog in sweden is no threat to palestinians.
you can't legislate intent - you can only legislate action. i know, people try but they are stupid. but even so - this blog post is not going to incite violence - period. there aren't a bunch of swedes waiting to hop on the next boat to the middle east to start shooting palestinians. it's ridiculous to say that there is any real damage done here.
they need to chill out, hop around a pole like frogs and knock back a bunch of liquor - have a few brawls and then everybody can love each other again.
More women coming into those fields wouldn't be diversity for diversity's sake. Simple math tells you that there are plenty of women who could bring something valuable to the table who are not there.
I think there are a good number of decent dba jobs out there - the ocp part, I don't know. I think most places are more interested in experience than just the cert. It is painfully easy to get an ocp without having much of a clue.
Well I agree about telling our daughters that they are capable. But female role models in certain fields are very scarce due to the past discrimination. So I guess I'm glad to see a story about a female astronaut, for whatever reason.
I don't know that it sounds demeaning though, to anyone who understands the context. I for one, having been a part of the Naval aviation community, fully understand the kind of obstacles this woman overcame to get where she is. Obstacles no man in her class had to face.
Go look at her wikipedia write up. Notice how it starts? All the emphasis on her heritage? It looks sort of like some of the lists that are being created to mock my posts. People of just about any race or nationality are extremely proud to be associated with the space program and go out of their way to point it out. Why women shouldn't be allowed to be the same, I have no idea.
My initial reaction to the article was that if I had to guess - she is annoyed at the focus on her gender. And maybe she is. But the more I thought about it, the more I was pleased to see a woman achieving this getting attention - whatever the reason.
I think there is ample objective evidence that institutionally men and women are not equal now. So I guess the answer to your first question is No. With that in mind I would say we can think about your second question once we have passed 1 generation.
That is an awesome point. My girls do the same thing. And I find myself intentionally seeking out things that I can show them where women are excelling because I want them to see that. We watch track meets, womens soccer and we read books about and by successful women. This is something else that I can show them. Makes a nice counterpoint to the flood of media coverage on Paris Hilton or the Miss Universe pageant and so on.

what on earth are you doing using 3 mice?

You can pick it up at Amazon for $60.23. About 20 bucks below retail - not a bad deal.

And what do we do if the star just vanishes from view in an instant?
Of course when astronomers say it's "about to explode," they really mean it probably exploded 6,500 to 7,500 years ago and we're awaiting the news.
could you clear up that 'sun rise' and 'sun set' thing for me as well?
what is violent rhetoric? i would say it is rhetoric that has caused violence. these kinds of posts don't cause violence.
it's a fantasy world where a blog post sends armed swedes to the middle east to kill palestinians.
it's interesting that you assume it that way - i thought they meant it the other way round.
it is possible - just unwieldy and expensive - but definitely possible.

I am unaware of this special treatment that she has been given? Would you like to share your knowledge of it?
