He views education that focuses on practical skills as a trade school. Which, pejorative associations aside, it is. Most professorial types that bop this around would recoil in horror if you described their programs as trade school for academics, although that's precisely what they are.
IANAL but I imagine that the definition of "intercept" would be a good starting point for an argument about that law. And then there's the question of whether or not NH has a public place exception to its law (it's not in the statute, but there may be case law on point).
I've got that case. It's not always that stable. And if you hold it in your lap, looking down... well, try taking a few of those photos before you consider doing that for chat. There's a reason that a view from slightly above is strongly preferred when pictures are taken - it's more flattering.
cameras make it more useful than the last gen iPad
How so? I understand that in theory it's a great Facetime device, but in practice I'm pretty skeptical - the iPad is too heavy to hold up to head level, and not stable enough to set on edge.
I don't think you understand how a melting pot works: whatever you put in turns into a homogeneous mixture.
If more than 20% of the population speaks another language then english, it's stupid of you not to learn it, and it's stupid of americans not to teach their kids spanish.
That's not the case except in a very few areas. In most of the country, you can go a long way before running into someone who speaks Spanish as their primary language. The biggest reason Americans are so monolingual is that there are no large reservoirs of native speakers of other languages nearby for us to practice on (except for Canadian French, for those in upstate NY and northern New England). It's difficult to develop and maintain fluency when you can't do immersion easily.
Ah yes, that was the system that required something along the lines of "set default = x$%!@crapcrapcrapcrapcrap|myusername:/DF" in order to change to a subdirectory. Ye gods, that was painful to use, though no doubt a pleasure to administrate.
I'm a physician, and this kind of stuff is medical shovelware. It will be sold to some poor hospital administrator somewhere who is not medically trained but who thinks that this sounds like a right easy solution to the problem of those non-English-speaking people who keep bumping up the delay times in the ER (a real problem in parts of the country that are just now seeing significant Hispanic influx, like much of the South and Midwest). Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses at the front line will find it ill-suited to what they actually need to accomplish. Flash cards work pretty well for most communication to rule out immediately life-threatening illnesses. After that, you really need a highly qualified translator. Maybe in five years, or a decade, machines will be at that point (although they'll be Google Translate's server farms, not some hand-held piece of junk), but they're not there yet, and it's wasteful and stupid to pretend that they are.
In many states, traffic court is its own beast and (because all penalties are administrative, not criminal) has neither juries nor (generally) a right of appeal. The various burdens of proof are set by the legislature when it writes the laws. The US Constitution doesn't come into it at all.
Not that it will be as convenient, but you can get a little ceramic heater that has an anti-frost setting. Cuts on when temp falls below 40 F. I got one at Wal-Mart for about $35 that spent the winter in my garden shed keeping all my tropicals alive. I'm in USDA Zone 8, so lots of people here just winter their plants (early Dec - mid Mar) in an extra garage space or other similar space where they can easily be dragged out if it's warm for a while.
There are probably quite a few of them, but one fairly famous one is at the Apollo/Saturn V center, which also serves as a VIP viewing area. Contact your Congresscritter or Senator to see if you can scare up a ticket, although odds will be slim at this short notice. I just watched Discovery go up from there. First and last live viewing of a launch. Totally worth the time, though I'd definitely research alternate ways to get back to Orlando - we left KSC at 6:30, didn't get back to the hotel until 11:30.
What do you mean, "now"? The organization is, and to my knowledge always has been, quite open about its religious underpinnings. All the scout troops where I grew up were associated with churches. The "God and Country" badge... well, that's pretty explicit right there.
pretend to be a teen/tween/kid convincingly when talking to someone that's actually that age?
When I was twelve, I was dying to be older (and to be treated as though I were older). Weren't you? I'd imagine that the pedo thing isn't to pretend to be thirteen, it's to pretend that your mark is interesting and, like, soooo mature.
As a general rule, I'm on your side of this debate, but let's not forget that porn these days is VERY different from what was around not so long ago. I graduated from high school in 1993, just before the Internet arrived for the general public - there was no ISP in town when I came home from my freshman year of college, while there were numerous choices the next year. The total collection of porn that my friends and I had was one or two magazines each. One guy (who had two older brothers) had a single porn video. You can see more porn photos in ten minutes online than I saw before my nineteenth birthday.
I'm not saying it's necessarily bad. But I've had discussions along these lines with numerous parents, and there are quite a few who don't care about the basic nekkid chixx but are a bit worried they'll have a son who gets into some bizarre fetish porn. The best they've been able to come up with is something along the lines of "computers in the family rooms only as long as I'm paying for it".
I'll generally agree with you that they shouldn't, in most cases, and that there's no way that this is a reasonable request, but as for don't, go try to get employed in a patient-contact position at a hospital. You'll get fingerprinted and have a background check run on you, and will most likely have to take a drug test.
Assuming it makes it. Medical records forwarding is an utter travesty, vast amounts of shit just never makes it over and what does is often the least relevant information.
I don't know why you think that it's "thinking of yourself as a god" if you don't want to do painful data entry tasks, especially when the UI is a nightmare. Please, think of the UI. It's nearly always horrendous and painful, because even the good ones are designed by a guy who sits at the same desk every day and doesn't have to log into a different machine every ten minutes and get presented with the uncustomizable landing screen.
I've worked in hospitals with a wide variety of electronic systems. The VA, for example, has everything on the computer. It is also very secure; there are not even generic logins to Windows. However, this means that every time you want to enter an order, you have to log into Windows, wait a minute or two for it to boot up, then start CPRS, then log into it, and then find the patient and begin ordering. Finding old notes is theoretically possible - everything is preserved - but there is no compartmentalization, and you'll have to look at the title of every single note generated by anyone at the VA - from a nurses' aide documenting urine output, to a pharmacist noting that a 90-day supply of medication X has been sent, to a PT/OT note, in order to find what you want. For those in VA nursing homes, especially, that can be a lot.
At the university hospital where I trained, and at my current hospital, all lab reports and dictations (like admissions and discharges) are available in the systems for all visits after about 2000. Furthermore, the system only requires you to log into it - the Windows desktop does not have to be loaded. This is, to me, a much better system because it provides what I want - easy access to the most pertinent records - without increasing my workload appreciably. This is the crux of a lot of resistance: I can get 99% of what I want from a system that never makes me enter an order (and most order entry systems are clunky and slow) and that never makes me type a note (because the information I really need is almost always in the admission or discharge dictation). And the other 1%? I'm an anesthesiologist, and nobody ever sends the anesthesia records over. Ever.
Sounds like you've done most of your work in ICUs. That's one area where monitoring is a lot easier by computer, because every patient has a dedicated monitor and each nurse only has two patients.
But as I said, physicians oppose changing things in ways that increase their workload if all the benefit goes to someone else. With CPOE, the nurses aren't typically the beneficiaries - they, too, are too well paid to be doing data entry work unless it's an emergency. It's the unit secretary, whose job description is basically "data entry", who benefits. And having doctors and nurses do unit secretary work is nuts.

That's just punctuation. Try capitalization:

IIRC, it was free for academic/educational use, and didn't have any license enforcement in the software. It just told you that you should pay for it.
That's just back rent, although the fact that you haven't booted them after a week suggests that mooching is a successful long-term strategy.
had the parents actually done some parenting, this could have been avoided
Do enlighten us with your recipe for perfect parenting. I'm not aware of any foolproof method for making tweens never be jerks.
IANAL but I imagine that the definition of "intercept" would be a good starting point for an argument about that law. And then there's the question of whether or not NH has a public place exception to its law (it's not in the statute, but there may be case law on point).

In doing so, however, you do open yourself to the possibility of actual criminal penalties, should the judge decide to be an ass.
In many states, traffic court is its own beast and (because all penalties are administrative, not criminal) has neither juries nor (generally) a right of appeal. The various burdens of proof are set by the legislature when it writes the laws. The US Constitution doesn't come into it at all.

I still don't understand why people feel that they must have children.
Because all the people who didn't have a slightly irrational drive to reproduce died without descendants. Evolution in action.
secret is ruined the first time you act in any way on the knowledge it provides
I dunno. I'm 36, and there are a couple of things my parents figured out when I was in high school that I still haven't figured out how they knew.

Try "hunter2". I hear that usually works.
No, no they don't, and, no, no they shouldn't.
