There's a site called Teachers Pay Teachers (http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/) .
You can make a little money and still provide the lessons for cheap.
I wish my insurance paid for mine. Helly, they don't even cover the visit to an audiologist.
Not to shill, but I got a Clareza 8 (8 channels) from Zounds Hearing ( http://zoundshearing.com/customers/products/clareza/ ). It's a mini behind the ear device so no custom fitting except for tuning it to your issue frequencies.
I did a bit of research before buying it and got it mainly because of 4 features:
-Price. It was $1500 (2 years ago). Most others I saw started at $2000.
-It uses a remote control to adjust volume, treble and bass. (It also has 4 preset modes which is handy).
-It uses a rechargeable battery. Each charge lasts about 16 hours. I put in the charging station each night (along with the remote control) and I'm good to go the next morning. The company replaces the battery free every 6 months or so.
-It has an on/off switch. Others I've seen require you to pull the battery to turn it off.
Yeah, it'd be great if they were cheaper. People who can't afford them simply do without, which really sucks. Not to be dramatic as I only have moderate hearing loss in my left ear, but getting my hearing aid really made life better.
"my boss and I are the only ones left"
Forget outsourcing, you need to figure out why there's only two of you left and whether or not the company will exist long enough to complete the product.
If you want to ignore that and concentrate on programmers think of it this way: you're either in a failing company about to go out of business so no one would want to work there, OR your in a start up that some folks might want to work there.
Failing company: you're doomed.
Start-up company: you need to get a quality programmer with incentive to write quality code and stick around long enough to see it through. Otherwise you'll get the "I won't be here next week" mentality with a contractor. And forget off-shoring it. You'll spend more time discussing the work (then correcting what they send you) than you would actually doing the work yourself.
So the idea is that someone in an audience is going to point this thing that looks like a hand-held mini missile launcher at a politician and silence them. How are they aiming this device? Oh, a laser pointer. Like you might find on a rifle.
If you happen to be by this person I suggest you move before the real guns with their laser sights start firing.
He needs to setup each machine so it can be controlled via a webserver. People could log in and sign-on to a specific machine and operate it for a period of time, say an hour if others are in line for it, if not, they have it as long as they want. He could run it only when he's there so keep the mischief to a minimum.
Does Apple provide a way to replace a hard drive? Without access to a booted system you can't download anything.
Unless they want you to bring in your machine...
"Of course, individuals from crowds can make false and erroneous claims. However, the beauty of crowdsourcing is that if a claim is indeed true, a large number of people would repeat and validate it, which would give the claim prominence and credibility."
So they want to rely on thousands of people with no financial training to balance the books? If people rely on H&R Block to do their taxes do you really think they can spot "irregularities" in this massive amount of data?
If they're collecting the data they can simply have the computers do it.
I bought an HP 1320 a few years back. It's got auto duplex, a duty cycle of 10,000 pages, works in Windows XP, Linux, and Mac OS X. Cheap, too. Only $300 when I got it. Not sure what the current version of the 1320 is.
You need a drivers license to drive a car, but you don't need to register a travel route to drive from coast to coast. Avoid toll roads (toll booths with cameras / EZPass) and your car isn't "tracked." Pay cash at the gas station and even your credit card company won't know where you've been.
Also, just because you have a driver's license doesn't mean you actually drive anywhere.
In my opinion, many things are simpler in Slackware. Since there are no (or very few) GUIs to use to administer your machine you can go right to the configs and make things the way you want. Red Hat, like Microsoft, hides the configs behind layers and layers of GUIs. It also doesn't seem to do things in a standard way. (I ran RH from 4.2 to 7.2)
I'm a geek so my opinion might be skewed toward text-based configs, programs, etc. But then again,/. is for geeks. I run Slackware 10.2 on my Dell Inspiron 5100 with everything working, even suspend--the wireless doesn't restore, though.
Just a disclaimer, I started with Slackware. I ran it for three years before switching to Red Hat 4.2. I stayed with RH through 7.2. I did it mainly because the company i worked for used RH. I switched back to Slackware in late 2003.
Bottom line: Slackware is very fast, very stable, and very useful. What more could I want?
If I can only play it once, can I pause it? Does every second of paused time subtract from the rest of the movie? If you ogle Kate Winslet for a half hour how will you find out if they sink or swim at the end of the Titanic?:)
On a serious note, will these insta-trash be recyclable or will they just end up in the landfills with all those AOL cds?

There's a subset of Ada called SPARK that has these concepts.

Totally take the pat-down. I don't want naked pictures of me on the internet. I don't want to spend the rest of my life yelling, "I WAS IN THE POOL!"

Where's Ralph Nader when you need him?!
Proxies could, especially ISP proxies (AOL, anyone) can hide potentially 10,000's of unique users.
Also, as far as i've seen DSL IPs don't change that often.

If they're referring to OSX 10.1.1, i'll pass.
I've been told by business areas that two clicks in a user interface is one too many.
Seriously, users just want it to work. They generally don't care what program/platform/religion it is. They just don't want to click more than once.
