1. Find a ASHA certified Speech-Language Pathologist. We know what to do and about available options
2. Buy a portable communicator with eye-tracking tech. Don't be fooled by medical companies, today you can get a 10" tablet with customized software and integrated eye-tracking for 2000-3000$
3. Buy assistive tech to help her control some of her environment (e.g., turning on/off lights, TV, music...). This is a must to keep her mind sane
If you were my client, I would also recommend you to seek for psychological assistance for yourself. Things will be difficult and you'll face burnout.
Best wishes for you and your family
Being a psychologist, this proposal fails the Pavlovian test in every bit. What classical conditioning shows is that for consequences to be effective, they have to be delivered immediately. Telling users they will have to change their passwords in 5 days because they are not secure enough is not going to work at all...
Please RTFA. It's a market research firm doing estimations about units shipped, not sold (that is why they use "channel sales". Samsung does not release information on the number of phones that were actually sold (only Apple does this). Only when Samsung shows their real numbers we will be able to compare. Until then, the whole article is pure bullshit.
The importance that most scientific approaches give to statistics is ridiculous. For a great discussion on its value in scientific research, Murray Sidman's "Tactics of Scientific Research" is a must-read. It is focused on Psychology, but the basic ideas applies to every field. I have my students read this book as soon as I start supervising them.
It has been mentioned a few times here in/., but http://folklore.org/ has a great collection of short stories about MacPaint. Worth the reading for every geek out there
Not sure if we have the same old border controls because we care about tourism, but rather that we know that the bad guys know how to hide their identities, and that paranoic controls such as those in the US now (was there a month ago) are close to useless.
I told everyone that copying soruce code and images was not a good advice. I also thought about discussing the 'IE is the most standards compliant browser' and the 'use frames and tables' parts, but given that (a) half of the attendees were, after 20 minutes, still trying to unzip a file with the workshop's content, and (b) the other half had just discovered that you could search for images in Google and were trying to find some pr0n, I decided to give up. Of course, I quit after the lunch break.
The "professional version" will be released once they fix Virtual PC for Mac OS X Panther
I have a copy of Virtual PC and it runs flawlessly on Panther. I think that you mean "once they fix Virtual PC for G5":
" Virtual PC relies on a feature of the G3/G4 processors called 'pseudo little-endian mode' for increased performance when emulating a Pentium processor.... Because the new G5 processor does not support this feature, large portions of the VPC for Mac program must be rewritten and carefully tested to work properly on the G5 CPU"
dual-core CPU running at 4 to 6GHz; a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM; up
to a terabyte of storage; a 1 Gbit, built-in, Ethernet-wired port and
an 802.11g wireless link; and a graphics processor that runs three
times faster than those on the market today
Well, MacOS X 10.3 currently has most of the things Microsoft is
promising with Longhorn (e.g., hardware accelerated GUI), and my
Powerbook "only " has a 1GHz processor, 256MB of RAM, and 30 GB
HD space...
The iPod Mini has also had an interesting side effect. Before Apple announced it, everybody thought that paying 300$ for the lower iPod was crazy, and that it was greatly overpriced. Today, most people believe that the 300$ iPod is the best option available, and that it is reasonably priced. Definitely, these Apple guys are marketing geniuses...
Some of the things you would like to see in OSX
are already implemented:
>Ability to open a finder window
like the Windows key combination
> (windows key + E in Windows)
Apple Key + N will open a new Finder window. Clicking the Finder
icon in the Dock does the same.
>Should be able to maintain the
color you pick in icon view for other views as well.
Panther does this.
Although portability is good in terms of (personal) freedom, and may produce a more competitive market, expect higher prices when buying new terminals. Heres why:
1) Mobile phone companies usually offer new phones for less than they pay for the terminals -- no problem, as they know that you wont like to lose your phone number, and therefore they will get a lot of money from you.
2) If you are able to switch easily to a competitor because you wont lose your number, that means that companies will no longer offer cheap terminals.
At least, this is what happened in Spain. A couple of years ago, new terminals were quite cheap. When portability arrived, prices rocketed.

Today, Google announced that Google is still in beta...

Well...I would prefer "Windows.Sucks". That is really short and to the point!
