IMHO, this is a good way of doing it. My wife's district is doing something similar in order to hire Speech Language Pathologists (another in demand education field). In order to do this it had to get approved by the union membership. A high majority of teachers supported this move.

Bone conduction is nothing new. Some deaf people use bone conduction hearing aids for years. Some people have such a high level of conductive hearing loss that the only way to transmit sound waves is through bone conduction. This form of hearing aid is not common though.
and I like it, but it is sooooo sloooowww. IE seems to render the pages faster. I like FireFox much better than Opera or IE or even Netscape for that matter. The popup blocker in FireFox rocks and is much better than the ones I had been using. I like the feel of it and it could be the IE killer. Unfortunately, I have to use IE at work, but at home it's FireFox all the way.

FYI the Toshiba e740 Pocket PC comes with a 802.11b adapter built in and has USB Host functionality (and VGA functionality) with a Toshiba expansion pack. I have one of these but I would not connect my iPod to it. The battery does not last very long (an hour) if you have WiFi enabled. They have a switch to turn it on and off. It would probably be worse when enabling USB host function. I have a 2 gig CF card with mp3s in it in the PDA. I also have additional storage on an SD/MMC slot that it is also built in. I use an iPod clone mp3 player on my PDA.
Kia's have big problems with air getting into the gas tank. The gas cap has to be on just right or it will have that check engine light issue. Those cars blow.

I noticed that when I upgraded from XP to Vista, my laptop resumes almost instantaneously, whereas previously it would take a lot longer.

I remember seeing in 99 or 2000 a picture of an Apple branded Palm handheld. Here is a write up of an Apple branded Palm called "MacMate". The URL www.macmate.com points to Apple's website. http://www.theapplecollection.com/design/macdesign /ApplePalm.html
Here is a picture of the blimp that was in the local newspaper in Palmdale, CA.

You are so right. Plus people with illegal aliens with drivers liscences were registering to vote under moter voters laws. I welcome this law.

Convergys is based in Ohio but are all over the globe. Heck, Utah has 6-7 Convergys centers alone. I used to work in the one in Logan.

I still have my TI-85 from the early 90s when I was in High School and it works great!
I am happy working for a demolition company instead of the craphole Initech. Atleast I am not at Penetrode.
