So teachers are responsible for referring children to experts to determine learning abilities. When they fail to make the referrals, who exactly is at fault?
It does not sound like the parents are doing a good job educating their children when compared to traditional schooling at least to the poster. As such, there aren't many good reasons to continue homeschooling. The somewhat reasonable ones sound like negative ones: bullying, health reasons. The religious and political reasons are just stupid. No excuses for stupidifying your kids.
Very good point. The quality of CPAN is much better than some thing like PHP's PEAR. I haven't had as much experience with Ruby Gems or Python's what ever. Often, If a library isn't good enough in the language I'm using I'll port a CPAN module.
I like CPAN. I really do. But, I have had to debug several modules. Its not always perfect. You do actually have to test them to see if they meet your usecase. Point in case: the excel module. XLS is pretty complex, it doesn't do everything correctly.
Well, that's not exactly true either. There were free beta versions that had no expiration date. I used one that fit on a floppy because it was faster than ie 3 or netscape 3. However, its javascript support was pretty terrible during that time. I did have to use other browsers to use websites that required JS.
I'd love to be scared by the radiation release at this point, as I enjoy a good fright, but how many people have died to date of exposure to the radiation? How many people will die as a result of the exposure? Will it really top the loss of life on the day of the earthquake? Is it worse to be exposed to that much radiation, or the amount of toxic agriculture pestiside and industrial era polution crap I live with every day in the suburbs?
We are surrounded by risks of many types both within our bodies genome, the enviornment, and behaviors we have. I just can't wrap my head around hyper focusing on one and ignoring all the others.
1a) Yes its a spec 1b) Yes Android Manufactorers compete on specs 1c) No, some bigger specs do make better phones within reason. I'd gladdly take a 4 inch screen over a 3 inch. I'd gladdly take two cores for one. Apple increases specs ever version of the iphone, that doesn't make them idiots, does it? 2) No, Competition is fierce, so they must make a better product. Why is that a bad thing? The phone will be foreced to be sold at the same price point as last years best phone due to competition. Who loses in that scenario? Not the consumer.
Good point, however, you have to use the definitions of the people who believe in God. Their communication to him is assumed to be mostly one way with the responses coming out of band in a variety of different ways none of which can be confirmed as comming from him. . You can invent a God to prove he doesn't exist, but its actually pretty difficult to prove the Judeo Christian God doesn't exist becuase of the way they define him.
Which proves that God, if he exists, is not a machine that can be controlled or tested by humans. Not sure how many people believe God is a machine, but they are definitly wrong.
Isn't it obvious? He found a way to create pancreatic cancer. Obviously, those results on causing pancratic cancer will be presented at the mad science fair next week.
No, COBOL is bad. Your post is prety much exactly what I meant when I said its bad. Its not popular. Its not the next big thing that people want to learn. This is why people don't want anything like it, but people do want things like c. C is still cool, still popular, still gets the chicks.
To be fair: COBOL is a *bad* language that no one wants to use anymore. C is a good language that's just too difficult for some people's children, but everyone wants to use something that's kind of looks like it.
No to Walmart. Tried that last weekend. Showed up, with the photo lady sitting outside the booth and five other employees just hanging around. I metntioned that I was here to pick up a photo, and she said she was on break. I gestured to the five other un occupied employees, and they scrambled to the back of the store like cockroaches saying they had to clean up a spill. The employee stationed out front insisted she was on break and couldn't do anything for me until the break was up. Came back five minutes later, and she insisted that I prove I'd orderd them. I mentioned to her that they were ordered online, and I hadn't printed any reciept. She insisted that I have a receipt and wouldn't even look to see if the order was there.
Just crazy.
I just resent them to walgreens and picked up up later.
I was curious to see what it would be like if you did the all at once purchase but put it ona high interest credit card. It works out to be close to 20% interest, with monthly payments of $20. I guess the advantage to doing it this way, is you could put even less money up front ( $20 payment to your credit card company).
Wow 60% huh? I'm guessing because you're shunning ignorance and embracing science, that you simply hit enter before actually providing us with the source for a number. I mean, what kind of a idiot would base such a bold statement on his mere feelings.

Head this advice!
Wow you meet a lot of uniteresting people in your travels. How terriblely sad that you can expect people's entire worldview in a few short sentances.

1960's?
The amplifying triode vacuum tube was invented near 1907.
The transistor itself in 1947.
Who said Chernobyl was over? There are still radioactive sheep in the UK for heavens sake!

That's absurd, we bought a couple thousand for our new product to use back in 1997/1998. Out of every ten drives only 9 failed.

Unfortunatly, there is no law prohibiting people from making stupid decisions.

BeOS was cool before it sold out on PPC and x86. It was only good on the Hobbit.

No, no, you read the all knowing anonomous coward, if you can't sense it it can't hurt you.
Exactly! Just like radiation!
If you don't have multiple masters, you haven't really scaled yet.
