It always amazed me how NY could be totally blind to the fact that on any given day ANYWHERE in the top 3/4ths of NJ you would find a shopping mart half full of NY cars. Even after they eliminated tax all together on some stuff in NY you guys just like pour over the river into Jersey on the weekends to shop shop shop at the malls.
You answered your statement right there. You talking about two groups of people from states whos republican majority went OUT OF ITS WAY to destroy the unions and won, and then spun it around to say "wahh wahh they wouldn't have left if they where not unionized." Its bullshit they left because republicans made it cheaper for them to leave by allowing them to get tax benefits TO leave the country while punishing those who kept their workforce here. And sadly through that all Clinton was a willing participant.
you mean BARELY causing? I am sorry but a hundred or so postings when there are over a million OS 10.5 users out there is NOT in my mind major trouble.
Eliminate unions and come back in 10 years. You will have a completely different tune once EVERY company dumps anything that made a job able to support you. The only reason non-union companies are even at the standards they are, is the threat of treating their workers so badly they unionize. Remove that threat and you have the 1890's all over again.
Or it can work to protect your job. I cant say I dont understand at all the disgust against unions (I do know, its mostly lies and its mostly thanks to Reagan republicans and democrats who where swindled and then swindled their kids into listening to the bullshit) but what I do know is IT workers, training their Indian and Asian replacements in the US WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING if unions where present. One of the biggest reasons its cheaper for companies to move to a new country has everything to do with willing Tech idiots training these people who will do their current job for LESS.
One of the biggest reasons I enjoy being a tech in the education sector is because I know even though I myself am not tenured like teachers are, my job is protected as long as I do it and do it right. I wont be outsourced, and I wont be replaced by someone who is more willing to do it cheaper, and I will make my FAIR wage, and not have some asshole come up with bullshit pulled out of his ass why I shouldn't make more money while they gets a 4,000 dollar raise.
The story is bunk. Its making a lot of assumptions due to lack of knowledge on just why a Hackintosh is illegal, and how this is not.
Nothing prevents ANY company from making drivers that will run in OS X. The ONLY prevention is from someone putting OS X on a non-apple machine due to the licensing agreement.
So Dell, HP, MSI any of them can make drivers for their machines that work in OS X, they just cant put OS X ON their machines nor inform you how to do it.
Because last night in NJ my wife spotted 3 and I spotted 1 meteorites streaking in front of us on the garden state parkway at around 12:15 am ish. They where big for meteorites, since usually with the little stuff I am COMPLETELY blind and miss them, but these lasted a good 2-3 seconds and where big enough to see over the lights of Newark/NYC/Hoboken.
Obama has nothing against NASA. He has EVERYTHING against Mike (global warming is a myth) Griffin, a known Bush lackey and a incompetent manager. Ask anyone in the know about Orion and Ares and they will tell you while it WILL work, it is horribly designed and way over budget for what it is and its DIRECTLY contributed to Griffin, unlike other unmanned programs that where running before he took over and lost funding due to him and Bush's "lets get a American on Mars without spending any more money" ploy.
Griffins job is canned, he's just drawing out the hanging right now and trying to wrap it in a Obama hates NASA spin, not a Obama hates incompetent Bush republican flunkies spin.
Administration doesn't often bow to seniority now in most public schools. Per my districts contract NEA negotiated contract there is no seniority level to anyone but secretaries. The only case where seniority maters to our staff contract is if you have to start firing tenured teachers per drastic budget cuts. Class assignment is done independently of the staff with no involvement by any union reps or staff members, just administrators. Doesn't mean administrator pets dont make it through, but then thats the fault of administration which I find to be much more the problem in public school than teachers.
No they cant. Learning Disable Classification requires a child studies team of about 7 people including independent individuals to classify someone. You can NOT wave your hand and make someone learning disabled. All it does it purposefully drop the average to fail good public schools.
And I said before, prove it. Provide ONE study not done by a private institution or public schools money. There IS NO INDEPENDENT STUDIES of which is better. There IS NO PROOF.
Dude honestly, privately owned schools would just hire the SAME teachers, the only difference between a privately owned school and public one is the pay is worse, but there is absolutely no oversight of the program (meaning there is no legal requirement unless they take public funds to PROVE their program works). Technology is NOT a requirement of almost any states core curriculum requirements beyond like a computer class or a industrial arts class. It is certainly not a requirement of subject curriculums.
Im sorry but the idea that private education is somehow better REALLY needs to be dispelled. There is no way anyone can PROVE its better, as there are no studies that have been done to show it. The only real benefits private education ultimately has over public is unlike public who is required by law to teach everyone, private education can kick people out. THAT more than anything is what improves private education over public, since teachers no longer have to act like parents and can do their job, but that could be EASILY rectified for public school if people could accept the fact that there are students in this country who just SHOULDN'T be educated, and should NOT be near any students who want it.
We love to compare how poorly our schools do against schools in Japan or Europe, yet they DO NOT TEACH dirtbags when we "mainstream" them due to political pressure. Hell with No Child Left BEhind we are forced to test learning disabled students (which could total to 30-40 students depending on the district) as if they where NOT learning disabled, and have their scores count as proof the school is failing because they drop the schools average! And that was government MANDATED basically in a effort to make the schools look like they where failing because then it allowed them to divert funds to private education who did not have to participate in NCLB
But seriously better teachers? Not on your life. I KNOW private school teachers. Some of the worse people in my department went on to teach private school while many of the brightest went on to teach inner-city because they made deals with the school that paid their education in return for them teaching in inner-city schools for 3 years. Why private school for them? Because they BARELY made it out of school with degrees, and private schools can hire people who do not have teaching degrees depending on your states rules. I know a girl who is on her 10th year in college shes has flunked out of so many classes and so you know what her day job is? She teaches at a private school.
Lets call a spade a spade here, this teacher was a idiot to technology. We get them EVERYWHERE in education. And as sad as it is to say easily 3/4ths of them I know are just out of college. Some of the best teachers with tech? The older ones who are sadly close to retirement right now. They are comfortable enough with what their teaching to know EXACTLY how to fit computers and tech into their classes
actually yes you can. Depending on where you live there is no legal requirement for them to actually hand you papers, just to make a best effort. In NJ they can even go so far as to deliver papers to your OLD ADDRESS and have the court see that as being served even if you yourself never received the papers.
The US court system goes out of its way to royally screw defendants, innocent or guilty.
The fact she was in the hospital made it impossible for her to respond to the complaint thus why she has a default judgement on her. They likely served her, and not her parents and thus her being in the hospital meant she never opened her mail.
So yes her being sick is relevant, they would never have gotten as far as they did if she had not been sick.
See I never had that issue at all. The CD boot issue was alleviated with a patch that they offered that had to be applied on the machines after the upgrade to 8 (7 didn't need the patch) and mine lasted well into 2000 and only bought the farm once I needed a G3 processor and couldn't get a board powerful enough for the Powerbase 180.
Only problem with that is anyone who was important with Power Computing was bought by Apple. Power Computing was the only clone manufacturer who was completely bought by Apple as opposed to having their contract canceled like the other and for good reason, their computers unlike the other clones where excellent. Apple even hosted Power Computings tool and software utilities for years after they bought them out.
I do believe a little ruling a few years ago basically said no, Microsoft CANT do that. This is why Dell and HP have been able to sell Linux and Unix systems on top of their Microsoft OEM products.
Given that only idiots blame the housing bubble and rational economic minds count it as only a SMALL portion of the multitude of problems that caused the current economic downturn, yeah. And they where not minor regulations at all.
Hell they even gave it away with old.mac accounts. And apple support always had lines saying to use protection. How is it all of a sudden new? They have been saying to use protection for YEARS now.
Well I would say money COULD stop you but your right nothing says you shouldnt get those certs if what you need is a job ASAP and have a small pool to pick from.
actually these days if you want to promise yourself getting a job out there, its best to NOT have those certs and go with stranger ones like OS X or some form of business linux. There is a much smaller pool of people to compete against, and they are very high in demand these days. I have been getting poached left and right for my OS X experience WITHOUT my certs being finished yet and while working as a OS X systems admin in a school district.

Only the PSX? You realize that in PURE disk cost not counting actual game development SSD carts would STILL be as expensive or moreso than a PS3 disk?
