    Had the same problems with some php programming I did for a local church... needless to say, I didn't offer to host them on my server...

    A +5 insightful if I've ever seen one...

    Of course, there was this one chick at a Mexican strip joint (no pony shows, thanks) that did this interesting thing with a stack of dollar coins... she'd lower herself down, and then pick 'em up ("look ma! no hands!"), and then count 'em back to you. Saw one guy heat one up with a lighter and put it in the middle of a stack of 10... really pissed her off, got him ejected.

    I remember hearing that the soc. security number is(was? pre 9/11) only required for social security and tax purposes.

    From the beginning actually. Cards say on 'em "Not to be used for ID" or something like that. However, it has always been a "mostly" unique number, so someone somewhere decided to start using it as a unique identifier in their database (or rolodex at that point most likely) and its just gotten worse since...

    Luke 22:36: "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."

    Not a Christian myself, but I think that he may be OK for leaving the sword and getting a FAL, G3, or similar...

    Yup, the dual enrollment program up here at SFCC in Gainesville.

    Fun part about the whole thing is that students actually get their AA/AS a few weeks before their HS disploma.

  11. voting w/o being informed on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    Here's my system - there are a few issues I'm informed on, many not. When I don't know anything about the candidates, I never vote for the incumbent, and when possible, I vote for a non Repubocrat - 3rd party, independant, etc.

  12. Re:ADA is bad law on Should Online Stores Be Subject To ADA? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Nope. Deaf dude calls relay operator, relay operator calls store and "translates" between.

    Unfortunately, use of a relay operator is becoming common for scammers, etc. to hide accents and out of area calls.

    Mimosas (clicky for GIS) fold their leaves up at night and after touching things like my face when I'm mowing the lawn, and they are much bigger (therefore more moving parts) than a VFT, so maybe they'd be more articulate?

    Thats the beauty of having lawyers on staff. You pay them an annual salary, whether they are in court, doing research, etc. it doesn't matter. Fixed cost. Now SCO went out and got a few lawyers on retainer, so they will have a hefty bill, but I think IBM just has "regular" employees doing this on their side.

  22. Re:my school on Students Protest Turnitin.com · · Score: 1

    See if there is a dual enrollment option with a local comm. college. Here, students finish their last 2 years of HS and get an AA or AS at the same time.
