They seem to be school that 1) Does no research (because no background information will be needed) or 2) Has a contract that allows all their students to use someone else's library, so they don't need to "waste" money/space on their own library or 3) It's a party school and no one goes to the library anyway (everything they ever needed to write a paper about is available pre-completed online)
this doesn't seem to be much different from our social security number, which keeps track of our credit, our personal criminal history, etc...
It's already here... haven't you filed for a student loan lately?
Can we say oppression? Oh, wait this is China, it's the national motto.

Wind Power... It is totally renewable, an almost perfected technology, and in some areas would be FAR more Space effective than even Solar energy. It is largely ignored but extremely effective.
Another aside (I have yet to read the book) is an article in Mother Earth News (www.motherearthnews.com) on how to live in such a world andmove out suburbs into true communities.
An example is a cohousing community in Ithaca, New York. Check out the website, it is truly fascinating! Esp for conscientious geeks... http://www.ecovillage.ithaca.ny.us/
Isn't the whole idea behind the independent party to create a party to get around the "mainstream politicians". No sense! As soon as the independents start thinking they are better than the rest, they will become the rest.
First convince the contractors. They are the ones who design/implement/maintain the equipment and software. If they say, hey, it will be cheaper to do it this way, THEN the gov't reps will go for it.
I work in DoD contracting and you really ought to get the contractors informed.
Although I realize that teachers in the NE are generally paid more (due to the Unions) I come from a long line of teachers (some moved to the NE to make more), anywhere else in the country they are GROSSLY underpaid. They are generally better educated than most execs, but make less than a third of the salary.
How are these poor people supposed to teach kids who don't want to and aren't motivated at home to learn?
Look to the parents not the poor, abused teachers!
My linux machine runs on a Pentium 233MHz, no sweat. I didn't have to pay for it and schools probably wouldn't either. You pay for the services, not the OS or the GUI's.
Macs are a great option. And kids can still be taught UNIX on Mac OS X.
Reason not to use Macs? My mom is a teacher and has to have her handheld when using a PC. My 13 year old brother is the same way.
Linux and Macs are both great options. Maybe which is better depends on the individual schools?
I hate to tell you but he IS using the statement of the UN.
YOU are the accuser. The "liar" is the accused. He is innocent of "lying" until proven guilty by YOU the accuser.
Further more, he is stating that this is what his guidance counselor told him, not what he researched and came up with himself.
Finally, if they have bigger fish to fry, why not go after the corporations? I know my corporation refuses to buy us enough software so as to save money. We are told not to copy it, but who is going to stop us? Or stop us from bringing in software from home (that we pirated) and installing it here? Apparently they aren't frying the bigger fish...
I have been to 4 Universities at this point in my life, and only 2 of them have had a focus on educting the students.
It is really sad, but true. Most profs at big universities are looking at the research they are doing, and pay very little attention to the students. The few that do usually don't get plagerized papers bc the students have a connection to the professor, and want to do a good job on their own for that professor.
The real problem with higher education? Tenure!
I certainly can't wait to not be able to back up my CDs in case they get scratched! I would much rather buy a new one.
Like $20 for the first one wasn't enough...
Too bad it is received like a more-annoying-than-usual email! I have yet to talk to ANYONE that Spams me, and I have difficulty finding out who they are as well!
I have received 3 spam emails on my phone in the last month... the senders specify a "special" ring for it, and I have to check it. I have responded each time with a request not to send me any more SPAM. Any ideas on how ot stop it? It's on an AT&T Nationwide Plan, one of the New Panasonics. As if I didn't get targeted for enough crap anyway...
The $100 dollars gives you very little. It's for one user, and one user only. They offer a discount to users or companies buying in bulk, though.
I hate to rain on the parade, but if I can't run my games and other non-Windows developed products, why would I buy Lindows? I doubt it will go out of the way to support my Borland compiler.
And for a hundred bucks, why bother? I can just get the latest Windows through work!
I don't know where you get off!! The money is out there, and every high school counselor can help you look for it! Counselors at most colleges (if they are willing to take the time) can also help you find it! As a last resort there is always student loans, which means they don't come due until you are out of school, so you have to be sure you can get a job with that degree (like a philosophy degree... what can you do with that?)
And those countries where University is free... they don't except just anyone, you HAVE to have MONEY to give, or be quite intellectually competitive. In fact, those schools tend to have the LEAST economically deverse groups (as recently seen in Germany) because the kids that come from wealthy neighborhoods get a better education, and so are more likely to get into University. In the mean time, the poor stay uneducated.
At least in America EVERYONE has the opportunity at higher learning, they just have to be willing to work harder for it! This is still considered the land of opportunity for a very good reason!
I have to completely agree, and have been in a similar position myself. I am a 19 year old single mom (20 in 2 weeks) and have to deal with age descrimination on a daily basis. Not being in "the clique" is one of the biggest obstacles I face, as well as age descrimination, sex descrimination, etc.
I frequently do work for which someone else receives the credit, and am grilled harder for slight infractions than anyone else. I am not the only one to face these issues where I work, but we all have learned a number of things:
1) Your boss is busy trying to get along with everyone so that the job gets done most effciently, don't trust him.
2) Your boss has to save his own ass too, and his boss is the one that holds the ax on that.
3) Don't trust ANYONE. Acquaitances yes, friendships will take longer to develop. Work is work, social time is social time. KEEP THEM SEPERATE!!!

I won tickets to the premiere on Wednesday, and then skipped work with my entire section to see it again!
Now I just have to convince boyfriend that it is a cool movie...

Interesting idea, considering that how the posts show up is up to YOU Check out your preferences jack ass!
I'm a lady (sometimes) I run a Linux server, and have no clue what to get my geek for VDay... he has everything he needs, what more could he want?
Or just in need of something that challenges his brain instead of something that numbs it!
Not all subscribers are male... and not all geeks are homosexual even if they hate talking about sports or cars....
If a girl visits this sight, does the same hold true?
