  1. Re:We always used foreign scientist/engineers on U.S. Science and Engineering Research Flattens · · Score: 0

    For example, I know an elementary school teacher that has a small group of students who are children of recent immigrants. They barely speak English, yet the school is supposed to make sure that they don't get "left behind"? Where do you think she needs to focus all of her extra effort? The phrase is emotionally pleasing, but the implementation has serious negative consequences (I HOPE they are unintended, but I'm not sure). I think that kids SHOULD be left behind a lot more frequently than they are.
    Heh, I'm that immigrant you spoke of. I came to US as a teenager and enrolled in a nearby public school at 7th grade and went through all ESL classes, etc. This year I finished BS in Computer Science and currently applying for Masters, where as 90% of my high school class simply work on construction or at some low paying jobs.

    I'm surprised you're not aware of special schools in your state, the ones smart kids goto. Yes you are going to drive your kids there or maybe even pay for them to go to such school but this is your choice or duty as a parent.

    Bob likes to watch porn. And now he has a download limit of 1Gig per day. That is 1000Mb per day. or 1000/24 =~ 41Mb/hour. Or 41000/60 =~ 694Kb/minut, =~11.57Kb/s which is about 92Kbps quality porn for 24 hours a day to download.

  14. Re:Funny enough, this will be good for MS users to on Microsoft Loses Showdown in Houston · · Score: 0
    Microsoft has spent years and years outright lying, cheating, and stealing, in order to come to market dominance and stay there. (If you don't believe me, go ahead and review the anti-trust court cases.)

    ... and DEVELOPING, there is no way a company with 4 years of history can pull something that would compete with a 10 year old MS Office ... or something similar. IMHO the only reason they went for Sim is because it suited them more apropriately than MS product at a given circumstance with their particular financial situation.

  17. Re:Qmail! on Sendmail Performance Tuning · · Score: 0

    I use Sendmail, I have the 'bat book', and I love them both.

    Just because you can't properly configure it, it doesn't mean it sucks. Yes Sendmail is big and has a history of security hole and more like a bloatware now, but it's only because it has been around for a very long time and went thought a lot of tests and changes. If Qmail would be around (and used) as much as sendmail I am very sure there would be a lot more sercurity holes found in Qmail than sendmail.

    Also, sendmail is like the "father" service upon which all other programs lookup and try to be like it, supporting same protocols and options, while trying to develop an easier accesses to configuration.

    Yes, First time it took me couple weeks to get into it, but once you start understand some basic rule sets and options, you realize that there is almost no limit in configuring this great software.

    dude... you also said she is "hot", now... logicaly that means that you see her as a "sex" object in your mind. Since you see her as a sex object the next thing follows is that you don't mind fucking her... and that is what was suggested just previously
