  1. Re:Symptom of a broken education system on Student Arrested For Classroom Texting · · Score: 0

    I don't see where the teacher over reacted at all. The student misbehaved and got a referral to the safety officer, who at that point confronted the student who proceeded to lie and generally make a pain of herself. She's your typical teenager today withe mentality of "I'm not to blame and you can't make me do anything I don't want to do or my parents will sue you." It appears that the parents aren't together any more and she thinks she can do what ever she wants without repercussion. Kids need to be more serious about school and learn to act light a young adult, not a spoiled brat.

    When I used to go to the casinos in Cripple Creek I would take a set amount of money and Play nickel slots. I went to watch people not to win money. But just standing there watching people has a tendency to get you arrested or kicked out, besides it's just creepy.

    Assuming the animal was a registered breed, you could contact the breeder and see if they have another litter from the same or relatives to the sire and dam. It would be close just like a clone would be.

    So those same kids are to try it again then. Maybe they will have grown up in about 5 years. I don't think so. I think they should have had their choice of phone and or music player. Not just apple. Did I read TFA, Bah this is /. you know. Why would they say to the students that they can only have this or that. Why not buy the phone of their choice for them?

    Who cares if they have total control, why should they have to support every possible combination? Put a disclaimer on the software that if you run it on unapproved hardware your support is limited to media replacement. A support call would go like this
    Apple hello, what's the serial number of your apple device.
    what you're not running it on an apple device? Is the media readable? Yes, well then call the company you bought the hardware from as we don't support your hardware. Thank you have a nice day.

    End of story. Basically if it's not on our hardware don't call us.

  9. Re:Ow my eyes on Smart Contact Lenses · · Score: 1

    I've had Gas-perms for about 23 years. back in the day it was like sticking pieces of glass in your eye. I still wear glasses sometimes. Usually when I have to get up in the middle of the to slay the monsters in the kids closet. It's really no big thing any more.I can do them now with out a mirror. The one thing I do dislike is the cost. bi-toric lenses are brutally expensive. I'm just now starting to get my right eye fitted correctly. I've had four different shapes in the last 3 months. not fun or cheap.

    Actually I'm an independent, if I had to be classified. I don't vote along party lines at all. I vote for who I think is the lesser of the two evils. You just can't win in either situation. On the one hand we are doomed to another 4 years of the status quo, or we get to put up with taxes out the wazoo and still get no actual changes that are beneficial. Your choice may be different from mine.

    How is this "insightful" it's just more political bashing of pro republican people. It's closer to inciting than anything.

    reminds of the last unfunny news cast where you stood outside an apple store and asked the people in line if they'd ever seen a naked woman.

    That's only unfunny because they probably HAVE. Now, repeat the experiment in front of a GameStop....

    Don't forget to append "in person" to the question.

  18. Re:Why bother keeping corporate policies up to dat on When Ethics and IT Collide · · Score: 1

    That's too bad that in your situation you got stuck with bad people. I've seen that happen as well with highly educated individuals. I still feel that it's just a coincidence that the bad managers had less than a BS. I'm curious though and you may not know this but, is that normal for the medical industry. Most of my clients are public sector, schools, governments, etc. I understand about the necessities of an education. My wife has an MBA in accounting. That's why I never got around to getting my BS. Me I still stand by my statement that education does not equal ethics. You either have ethics or you don't.

  19. Re:Why bother keeping corporate policies up to dat on When Ethics and IT Collide · · Score: 1

    "our most unethical managers around here have either no degree or only an associates in some form of applied technology."

    So are you trying to say that those in management that worked their way up the ladder with no/little formal education are more apt to be "unethical boobs"?
    It sounds like you have a superiority complex. Just because someone who doesn't have a BS or better are somehow less qualified to be in a position of authority is absolutely without merit. And yes I "only have an associates in applied technology." Not all of us were in a financial position to go for a four year degree. the real world does preclude a multitude of great plans and ideas.

    Oh man is that person warped. I'm a Christian and couldn't agree LESS. You can tell by their intimations of bigotry and hate that they are not a true Christian. Christianity is based on love and respect. Not fanaticism and hatred.
