I don't know. I don't think what the judge did was discipline. On the other hand corporal punishment can be used for discipline. It has been for thousands of years and it was common when I was a child. Generally children behaved far, far, far, far, far better then. I received quite a few belt driven corrections but I deserved them and knew I did and that my parents loved and cared for and about me. The discipline was always consistent and fair. I never got a spanking after about 12 or so but then by then I was pretty well behaved knowing the consequences for misbehavior. I think just beating the hell out of your children in a rage is, at the very least, counter productive. On the other hand I see the majority of children today receive no spankings whatsoever and they are mostly sad examples of modern permissive culture.
There is plenty of land nearby above sea level. You can't build in a lake bed and not expect to get wet sooner or later. It's ridiculous for the US government to have to rebuild this place time after time after time after time....etc. Once should be enough to wake people up. If not, screw 'em. If you want to live in a hole take what comes with it. It's the same with people on offshore Islands. Every couple of decades a bad ass storm moves through and oops! Time for Big Stupid Uncle Sam to come to the rescue with tax dollars. If you want to live on the beach in Hurricane country you should expect to rebuild occasionally. It comes with the territory.
Truth. I don't mind helping out people who get hit by natural disasters....the first time. Look at New Orleans. Much of it is below sea level. From the top of the dike there on the Mississippi River I looked down at the river then turned and looked at the town, this in 1980, and wondered how long it would be before that water found it's way into New Orleans. I told my friends with me that it was only a matter of time. When you looked at that mighty river where the water level was obviously above the buildings on the other side of the dike you knew it had to happen. It's nutty. That was before I knew about the canals. The canals are really crazy. They are concrete walls that are in the middle of housing areas that have water between them. You can see houses right next to these walls and water almost even with the roofs on the other side! Like I said, I didn't have a problem with helping people get new houses after Katrina......somewhere else! Rebuilding in a lake bed with the ocean and river that close by is insane.
Yes I'm white, I have a 60 thousand dollar income which makes me middle class where I live, but I have been arrested, twice, and I've heard and seen a lot in my 52 years on this Earth. Even the two times I was arrested the police were polite if a bit cold but they were professional. All the cases I've seen where there was abuse started with resisting arrest. Guess what, it happens. It's not supposed to happen and they don't always discipline the officers although that happens too sometimes. When you resist arrest there are some who love to knuckle up and beat somebody down and yes they will indulge themselves. I've also seen cops help people out too. I've seen them try their best to get people to calm down so they don't have to get into such situations. Yeah, maybe I'm lucky. Or maybe it's that (nowadays) I obey the law.
The majority of police officers are not thugs. What a fucked up thing to say. The majority of police are good and decent people. Now admittedly there are thugs in the Police forces just as they exist everywhere and sometimes even the decent cops snap and make mistakes but to make a statement like that is inexcusable.
Well actually Clinton did sign that budget eventually. And the next year it went much smoother. The one thing about Slick was that he was a smart politician. Once he saw the advantages to balancing the budget he quickly moved so that it became "His idea." Just like when he tried Health Care Reform. Unlike President Obama, once Clinton saw what a crazy powder keg that was going to be and how no one would be happy when it was over he quickly dropped that like a hot potato.
Most of what I saw was when Bush started bailing out banks saying they were too big to fail. It set him off just like it would pretty much any libertarian. Of course that was a BiPartisan thing too. Money talks.
Hell, Glenn Beck despised him. When Beck was giving Bush hell the liberals tolerated him. When Obama got elected they didn't care for him anymore. I always thought he was preachy and full of himself too much for me. Regardless though I agree with him, they both pretty much stink. It looks like Obama may get reelected though. The Republicans are trying to find the worst candidate possible to run against him. My theory is, the country is so fucked they don't really want the Executive office. It's better for them if Obama catches all the hell for it.
I've seen win7 in a virtual environment and indeed it's not really bad, looks kinda like a bugfix of Vista. The problem is I've used linux since '99 and I can't go back. I have a new Macbook, well a 2008 model actually but I just got it a couple weeks ago, and I like Snow Leopard fine but I like Ubuntu better.
You obviously haven't looked at her actual accomplishments. It's pretty impressive. Unlike most CEO's she seems to have left every company she worked at in better shape than when she arrived. I understand this is Slashdot and they hate all republicans here but still, this is about work, not politics. For work it's nice to have someone with a successful track record. Which of the two political mafias they support is irrelevant.
Oh man. I was talking about work. I don't know what in hell that's got to do with politics. Maybe the lying, cheating and backstabbing are the same but work implies productivity. Politics implies parasite.
I don't know. HP has been self destructing but looking back over Meg Whitman's career she seems to have the golden touch. Everything she ever worked on thrived. I think if anyone can save HP from itself it might be her.
I popped an Ubuntu CD in one and after about 20 minutes was rewarded with a fine running laptop loaded with goodness. Problems like that are so easily solved.
Actually you can start small and add on. No need to put them all up at once, buy what you can afford and as time goes by add a few more panels occasionally. Every little bit of money you save will help you buy more.
To be exact it runs on both PPC and x86 and there was a 680x0 version at one time as well although I don't the state of that. It's usable, at least the X86 I used was, but there is tons of work left to make it fully complete.
Like I said fun to play with. They also could greatly benefit from the release of Amiga source code.
I sort of agree. On the desktop it's a no go but take servers for example. You get a large powerful server running the State approved Big Brother OS, say "Windows People's Embraced Edition" or Win pee for short. You could load up multiple instances of Redhat Enterprise 25 or what have you and avoid paying the license fee for a hundred or so instances of win pee. Big brother gets to watch you through the host system and you get to save money on licensing fees. I like win-win situations.
It's not an open source version of AmigaOS. It's a reimplementation of the Amiga API's sort of. There's no Amiga codebase in it. Basically they're writing something that works like the Amiga OS on X86. It's cool but it's a work in progress with no end in sight.
I remember a skit about ali and gould playing golf. They're talking about the company wondering what it is they sell. One asks the other about it, "what is it we sell again?" and he replies "computers", to which he says "oh, so how are those doing?" The small shareholders actually had to hire a private detective to discover where the shareholder meetings were being held so that they could attend to give them hell about what morons they were. You gotta love it. They ran Jack Tramiel off which I kind of understood but then they brought in the clown show to make Jack seem like businessman of the Millenium.

I think a big percentage of 25 years olds aren't adults either. brain scan or not.

I never liked Clinton either but I'm starting to revise my opinion based on the last two clowns that replaced him. He looks better everyday.

Most people are programed to think the government cares for and looks out for them.
He probably wasn't strange enough for her.

The idea of course is to destroy the competition then fuck the customer to get your money back.

I suppose you could work in a virtual environment.
