Go to the Return to Flight page. Atlantis will be ready for a launch on July 12: that's not an emergency turnaround, but a full-fledged mission. I don't imagine that Discovery will be in a position to act as emergency rescue vehicle for that mission, though, as even July 26 (i.e., 2 weeks after the planned launch date for Atlantis) will be only 2 months after the shuttle's planned landing on May 27. Endeavour is in major modification mode.
First, to the parent poster: Often, the issue isn't psychology but neurology. Besides, technology can solve some psychological problems (after all, a psychiatrist is a physician who applies pharmaceutical technologies to psychological problems).
To the submitter: I suspect you'd be better off talking to a support group of families with similar issues than the/. crowd. But failing that, you might try combining screen-reading software with level-appropriate reading that's also age appropriate (perhaps sports or gaming articles on websites), or try combining books on tape/audible with print copies of the same books.
You buy a Mac to run Linux because Macs are simply put better designed and built machines than most Intel boxes. (This isn't about the processors, but the system integration: Macs are better integrated). A lot of folks dual boot Linux and OS X. I would, if I could just find a distribution that worked well on my iBook or G5 (and not support Airport precludes "working well"). Sometimes I want OS X, sometimes I want Linux.
$0.99 is a very reasonable price, comparable (cheaper, really) to the cost folks used to pay for singles back in the last days of vinyl, and cheaper (in fact, not merely after inflation) than the old cassette singles or CD singles. We all got spoiled by the old Napster, I think.
I suspect that iTMS will eventually switch over to Apple Lossless, but only when 1. bandwidth gets better - when the average broadband connection is 6 Mbps, say - and 2. when drive sizes get somewhat better - say when 1 TB drives are as easy to get as 250 GB drives are today, and the top-end iPod is the iPod 120 GB or 160 GB. Right now, anyone with an iPod 15 GB can buy an iPod Photo at 60 GB and switch pretty much all of their music (except of course the iTMS or Audible recordings) over to Apple Lossless and have approximately the same size music library available (but no pictures).
I also suspect that sooner or later they'll switch to the Audible model of keeping track of your downloads and letting you redownload them later, or download them in other formats. The way things work now is silly, really. But it's going to take a while for the music labels to come around and realize that they don't have to worry about cannibalizing the CD market.
I think we'll also start to see more backlist appearing. The labels are just realizing that iTMS is a great way to sell old recordings they don't want to spend the money to print to CD, market, and distribute via conventional means.
I would think that if you want to take an assembly class for a particular architecture, you'd want to know how that architecture REALLY responds: no kind of emulation is going to guarantee you that knowledge. You're being too stubborn; get (or borrow) a cheap beige box to do the assembly work on and just rdc or vnc into it. Then turn around and sell it when you no longer need to do assembly.
If Howard Dean was president, UCS wouldn't even be doing these "surveys"...because you know what? They'd find the SAME FUCKING THING, assuming they asked the questions in the same way.
Interesting. What methodology did you use to determine that? Autoomphaloscopy?
Wow! And all [th]is time I thought history degrees [were] about learning about things like, well, history, and stuff... not about learning communication.
No doubt.
How do you think historians apply all that knowledge? Do you think they keep all their books locked up in a library and just gab about it at cocktail parties? Learning to write is central to learning history because it is central to teaching (or otherwise disseminating knowledge about) history.
The problem with Carly Fiorina wasn't her academic background - it was her arrogance, her certainty that she could go into HP and remold a corporation with that old and set a culture into her own image without consequences.
My degree is in ancient history. I suppose I should just empty out my desk now? I've got news for you: 99% of what you do in an IT job is *not* about things you could (or at least must) learn at school.
One thing folks with history degrees learn how to do better than most with tech degrees is to communicate. I would submit to you that communication is central to the role of a CEO.
If a vocational education gave one everything that is needed to succeed in life, we'd all just go to ITT Tech.
A lunar space elevator would have to go much further than an earth space elevator - all the way up to the commmon orbit of L1 and L2, I believe (because the moon's rotation is captured synchronous).
every time a URI contains more than one writing system: if you've got the same URI with both Cyrillic and Latin in the domain name, pop up a question mark, and even add in (maybe by default?) a pref to disable opening URIs with multiple writing systems in the domain name.
That is exactly what happened to Star Trek: TOS. Friday night. The difference being that they cut TOS's budget so much that Season 3 was not as good as Season 2, while Season 4 of Enterprise is the best since Season 6 of DS9. There was NOTHING on Voyager as good as tonight's episode.
Witness the prolonged dullness and fading away of the Mac line the past few years as the iPod has obsessed the one-track-mind of Jobs.
What? Mac sales were up something like 26% - you call that "fading away?" Almost double the overall growth in the market? How do you define "recovery?"
The default speed is designed for those who are only reading the graphic. (Think about what that says about their reading skills.)
Those of us who read the fine print (i.e., not the usual Forbes reader) have to either speed read or click "slower."
I'm guessing that the category is marked "digital" in the submission interface, and the submitter is too young to remember DEC and thinks the category is for digital lifestyle devices.

Someone will snap them up just to get the lawsuit. Hell, I'd expect MS to find another proxy to buy SCOXE.
Apologies, I posted this comment against the wrong posting. Please mark parent (kalidasa posting) down.
At least the third one is just the teaser trailer. Don't bother.
I dunno, this comes close:
Tribute formerly paid to freebooters along the Scottish border for protection from pillage.
(Laugh.)

Read the posting directly above yours. Verisign did indeed approve this certificate. So much for your near certainty.
The company exists, under that name. The fact that the name was obviously chosen with fraudulent intent doesn't seem to concern Verisign too much.

Somebody mod this up as informative, please; this fellow has far more experience than I do and should be rated at least as highly as I am.

Or you could just carry in the Mac mini hidden inside your briefcase and hide it under your desk, without the fake case.

Just to warn you, the book has been updated, perhaps more than once.

It's a shame I posted to this thread; otherwise I'd give you mod points. Much funnier than my reference.
It looks like September did end, after all.
Sorry folks, couldn't help it.
