I have seen a lot of good people go into teaching, to leave it for the primary reason that the kids are out of control, and the tools teachers need to keep control are not allowed.
I know one teacher who made it. She is one of the most devious and manipulative people I've ever met. So she can keep control of the class.
Japanese students who expect to go to college take several hours of additional privately funded classes outside of school every day to prepare for entrance tests as well.
FYI, the Interior Department is very busy trying to find the lost Indian money. You try auditing 200 years of lies, broken treaties, and racism.
Unfortunately, lawyers hired by the Indians keep shutting down the operation because they claim in court that there isn't enough network security, which I am lead to believe is not actually true. When that happens, work stops. The Indians don't get their money faster, but their lawyers sure do.
Moreover, the acutal intellectual property issues behind Microsoft VC-9 (the version of Windows Media submitted to SMPTE for standardization) remains to be determined.
My impression (microsofties, correct me if I am wrong) is that the slow progression of technology to get from Netshow 1.0 to VC-9 may not have at all times been done in a way to completely examine all intellectual property rights, and now there is some "catch up" now to figure out whose might have been infringed upon (poor Microsoft, eh?)
H.264's intellectual property has pretty much been determined, but unfortunately patent holders have been split between two separate licensing organization, so to be legit you need to pay both of them. I assume Microsoft can consolidate the IP issues for VC-9.
DVD production can include a very time-consuming two-pass encode, which will make things look very good compared to a single-pass or quick two-pass encode for HD broadcast. Plus the HD you see on cable or DBS is usually around half of the bitrate of over-the-air HD DTV.
You may want to take a look at your local over-the-air PBS DTV channel, especially if your local public television station is dedicated to HD during primetime and not running a multicast SD channel or two.
Cable and DBS HD are usually ~12 Mbps or lower. PBS delivers a full 19.4 Mbps 1080i signal to stations, if they want to take it to air like that.
Actually, very few "HD" monitors you buy in a comsumer store can actually resolve 1080 vertical lines. Infact, only some can resolve 720 vertical lines. But they all can do much more than 480.
Google pulled references for akamais dns servers a short period ago. they are presently serving their own dns requests.
Also:
People seem to be getting around this by changing their DNS entries.
E.g. www.yahoo.com always used to be a CNAME for www.yahoo.akadns.net. But now:
# host www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com is an alias for www.dcn.yahoo.com. www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.64 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.65 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.66 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.67 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.68 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.69 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.70 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.71 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.72 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.73 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.74 www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.75
From here neither www.google.com, nor www.apple.com work. Both seem to return CNAMES to akadns.net addresses (eg, www.google.akadns.net, www.apple.com.akadns.net), and from here all of the akadns.net servers listed in whois are failing to respond.
Hmmm...I have a 135GB partition under Win2K server of internal SCSI drives. I also have a 1.36 TB partition on Win2K server on an external fibre channel RAID array.
This is true - a lot of money is spent on pharma marketing.
This way patients and doctros know what medicines are. You know what vioxx is, but do you know what domperidone is?
Because domperidone did not make it through FDA efficacy trials (a long bureaucratic story), it can't be legally marketed in the US, despite widespread use around the world. It took me a year to find it for someone close to me, and I run into people with the disease it greatly helps all the time who don't know about it.
Marketing of pharma is good. Not 100% good, but I rather be over-informed than under-informed when it comes to my health.
I have links to many sources for amateurs to become involved in (peaceful) genetic engineering at DNAhack.com.
For example, there are Web sites where you can type in a list of DNA bases, and in a few days either get your custom DNA snippets (aka oligonucleotides), or even get the DNA delivered inside bacterial plasmids (aka custom genes). With custom genes, it is a simple kitched-top operation using heat shock to insert the custom genes into strains of research E. Coli.

What Bush budget cut impinged on the ability of a local school to hire IT consultants?
Let me spin that data the way I see it:
A lot of people can program. Even more can type IP addresses into a menu.
Only a rare few of them have the human skills to effectively communicate and lead.
And even fewer have a business mindset. For example, a lot of lame IT staff like to talk about management who "will continue to screw you".
Those who can lead and handle the business environment will be paid more.
My wife is hiring for a low-level Python programming position. She can't seem to find anyone who knows Python who is willing to work for under $100K.
Just a data point...given the rise of Zope solutions for mid-level web content management, I think this is a growth industry.
He's my homey.
It is much more exciting than Harry Potter. I mean, Harry Potter never stoned anyone for collecting wood during the Sabbath. That's action!
I have an MS in electrical engineering.

Regarding the free market and public radio, one of the best business news shows on radio is Marketplace from MPR/PRI. I listen to it every day.
I personally don't use video AIM because it only runs on Windows XP, and I am exclusively Win2K on my home PCs.
I use Yahoo Internet Chat video and audio. I've done chats with people in Iraq, Jordan, and Pakistan.
There is absolutely no evidence that amateur genetic engineering is a risk.
How does the temperature issues effect PCR results?
Out of curiosity, did you try this one: MultiGene(TM) Thermal Cycler ($1,797.00) ?

I listen to several FM hip-hop stations in DC, and I like them. Sorry!
