I too have a belief that the system protects teachers too much. However this year my Daughter's eighth grade Math teacher was awful and could not even attempt to keep control of the class. He was let go about 1 month before school was out and it was his first year.
Interestingly the High School that she is going to is aware of that teachers failings and identified all of his students as likely needing extra help in ninth grade.
This was supposed to be the GATE class too. Now most of these advanced math students have lost the edge they had and are behind other GATE students in the district.
If such a streaming network is to difficult, why not a launch able buoy system?
Flight recorder routinely records data as is does now (with some of the new recording times) The storage medium is actually in the buoy which is ejected manually or automatically under certain conditions. The flight recorder then links to the buoy to continue transmitting last minute data. The buoy, with GPS and location beacon, floats to safety with most of the data intact while receiving the final moments of crash data. The flight recorder would need only enough local storage as a back up to what was transmitted to the buoy.
1) A nice siren and flashy lite to attract attention. 2) Some strategically placed handles that can be electrified 3) When all else fails, a beeping self-destruct countdown timer
When you say property tax is like renting, you ignore that some tax is required to pay for services and infrastructure that is associated with said property.
Real Estate property tax should be going toward the roads, utilities, and emergency services that are provided for that location. You live in an unincorporated area your tax is less. You live in the 'burbs, your tax is more. You not renting anything, but if you refuse to pay for the services, the government can't take away all those roads, utilities, and emergency services just to inconvenience you. Therefore you loose the property for not playing nice. The property tax for cars, boats, RVs should be acceptable as well as long as the taxes collected go to the benefit of the property, i.e. roads, lakes, national parks. (Of course we know that political book keeping doesn't really work this way.)
On the other hand, stuff in your house being taxed as mentioned in another post, that is evil. Unless the government is going to pay my home insurance for me. Although I imagine a state run home insurance program would be horribly inefficient.
Taxing IP would be great, as long as it's fair to start-ups and prevents corporate abuse at the expense of the public domain.
|So.... You force your child to give up something they want to keep private. If they don't comply, you take away something they like. |And what exactly are you teaching your child? Might makes right? Parents don't respect their own kids? Kids' opinions and |feelings don't matter? Powerful people have the right to control less powerful people?
Well if we look at this with black and white idealism, then I guess I am guilty of being a mean spirited privacy Nazi. There are many ways to demonstrate respect to your children. At the same time I expect the same amount of respect in return. I think you also miss out on the fact that parents are responsible for their children, legally responsible. This isn't about your boss pressuring you into some unethical situation.
What exactly does a 7 year old need to keep that private anyway? Even children in their preteen and early teens need to be monitored. Yes give them more privacy as they mature and demonstrate the responsibility to handle it. However, you have to be flexible and willing to take these privileges away. (I imagine most prefer associating with those that understand that there are consequences for their actions?)
|It's much harder to foster respect and open communications. It's called being a parent, not a bully and control freak.
Yes parenting is about teaching and guiding. How do you teach a child safe practices when you are not there? Do you think a nice little pep talk over dinner is going to keep them out of trouble on their super secure PC? And exactly how is it open communications if they have a system all locked up so they can have secrets?
I would presume that the first time the parents realize that they cannot access the system they will either ask the child for the password anyway or take the system away if the child refuses.
Furthermore, as long as this child (eventually teenager/young adult) resides in the house, the first law of security is always going to be broken. The parents will always have physical access to the system.
I find the hispanic culture's way of dealing with last names interesting. IIRC, the childrens last name is a combination of the parents name. However, I can't remember how names were delt with when people were married.
I've always been impressed that Texas has night-time speed limits that are lower than the daytime limits. Although the difference, 5 mph, hardly seems enough to compensate for overdriving your headlights at night.
As an added bonus a circular LCD screen can be implanted on the back of your head so others look "through your head" to see what your seeing. (Just like the old $6 million dollar man action figure from the 70's)
You know, I had downloaded all the trailers, teasers, and tv spots I could find to burn them to a CD so I could show my wife. (Couldn't get them at home because I needed a PC with a DVD player in it to see the damn things at the stupid lame star wars site. I mean how retarded, if you like star wars your going to buy the DVD, but why make me PROVE to the site that I own one just see a trailer, GRRR. Well I have digressed a little...)
Anyway, as I was looking at all the stuff I had downloaded the thought had occurred to me that I could have probably pieced together a decent summary of the movie.
(I think I had a point to all this somewhere...? Oh well, back to work.)
windowsupdate.com is about as useful as whitehouse.com
Seriously though, windowsupdate.com was just a redirector for those who don't know the real URL (not quite the high profile-big budget website, but close.) Same thing goes for technet.com. Too lazy to type the real URL, MS conveniently provides a TLD URL based on what you're looking for.
The automatic updates and windows update option in IE both connect to windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
I'll grant you that 100% success for Blaster, but it's kind of silly if you takeout whitehouse.com when you were really aiming for whitehouse.gov.
Take out the drive and give it a good beating... no not to try to resurrect the drive just because the damn "your call is important to us..." and the awful hold music.
The Six Flags park I worked at (long ago) would give riders who were stuck walk-on ride access to either the ride you were stuck on or another ride if that one was down for the rest of the day. You know if you had played your cards right, you probably could have walked right onto a few rides after being stuck so long.
Also, thought I should mention that I find it kind of weird that they left you in the ride for so long. In my several years working major coasters, I don't recall leaving anyone stranded on a ride for more than 15 minutes or so.
Oh one last thing (heh heh), I remember occasionally stopping trains at the top of the 115' lift of a certain ride I worked because "I saw someone do something." I tell you it was 1) exhilarating to walk to the top of that 115' lift and 2) amusing as hell to see people, who are safely strapped in, start freaking out because they are afraid of heights. What were they doing on a "tall" coaster anyway?
Given the fact that the first Matrix didn't end in a Happy Days "To be continued..." sort of way it is probable that Revolutions could start out with some cheesy "previously on" type of crap.
With that stupid "to be continued" ending I think Matrix may have jumped the shark.

Glad they got rid of him.
Need one for my mind, I feel like I am loosing that all the time.
Add just a few basic lines of code and you could have yourself some replicators http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicator_(Stargate)
Oh the mind picture of an imperial walker slipping on the ice and righting itself... it's almost priceless.
We need a good parody film of EP V. that includes that.

1) Build robot that can be remotely controlled via a website
2) Get it to the moon (the ????)
3) Profit
Then all US teams should be forbidden to enter cause they are likely just there to keep the hoax alive and all.

Just though we should expand on the point estimates...
With a 99% confidence interval, 42.5 to 49.4% of women prefer doing their own computer trouble-shooting.
Additionally, With a 99% confidence interval, women prefer a new:
plasma TV to a diamond necklace, 74.1 to 79.9%
plasma TV over a weekend vacation in Florida, 52.6 to 59.4%
digital video camera to a pair of designer shoes, 83.6 to 88.4%
This is great! So much better than buying the S.O. a bowling ball for Christmas.

The zero's can turn corners easily enough, but those ones get hung up in the corners.

Or even more interesting, did CD sales increase in the same period? Maybe people were busy doing other things.
