False positive tests and the loss of all rights to Stafford loans for drug use.... That is but one reason mandatory drug tests are a really bad idea.
The issue here is cell phone data not drug tests.
I see NO reason for a healthy student to carry a cell phone at school. Check the sucker in (turned off - and LOCKED) at the start of the school day and pick it up on the way out. Every attorney appearing in Federal Court has to do this throughout the entire US. (Why? Because there will be only one (1) record of the court proceedings....)
Health issues may well make the cell phone appropriate for a student - and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act should serve to preserve that right. There is just no reason to allow these toys into the classroom otherwise - and, I've litigated one school case where there were multiple calls made from one classroom to set up an ambush of one kid by several others - followed by calls from the sister of the target to her mother (a city employee) who called the Vice Principal to report the pending assault....
I also have a case where a security guard took a cell phone from a kid walking the halls - and the Kid's mom came bursting through the door - ran past other security guards and beat the hell out of the (female) guard who took the cell phone. The male guards at the entry just enjoyed a good catfight and the female guard was pretty well beat to hell by the time it ended.
Cell phones have almost no legitimate purpose in primary and secondary schools. Period.
his latest Apple branded product - the iWin corporate management app. (co-branded with Bil-b-gone).
Typical of Job's Keynote addresses, the iWin app is ready for the market and has shipped-out.
Fashion designers everywhere are tooling up to meet the anticipated black turtleneck demand and are cutting the production of pocket protectors and short-sleeve dress shirts.
Steve Ballmer was last seen applying for a job with Disney.
That theory worked well in practice in London - nobody wanted to be filmed checking out the underground or getting on busses - No, wait a second! The didn't care! They were filmed and they still blew up the bus and subway....
Hmm, only in Kevin Smith's Clerks does the fear of video work. So, I vote for cameras in Redbank, NJ.
Texans' last words are usually: Hey y'all! Watch me! They would LOVE video so the idea sucks in Texas.
If you think that having n^x number of cameras where you have something like n^(x-50,000) people able to do real-time monitoring. All this idea stands for is two things: (1) money to be made by the camera infrastructure business; and, (2) a digital record of your murder to be used in the prosecution. All you give up is your privacy & digniity.
OTOH, putting one of these on VP Cheney might save a life....
Anchorage has *NO* safe place for this device. The entire city is built on Glacial Till and underlying structures have fault lines.
Moreover, if you look at a map of Anchorage you will find that more than half of the usable land area between the sound and the Chugach range is occupied by Elmendorf Air Base and Fort Richardson.
The area just isn't like anywhere else. Permafrost exists only 6 ft down...
Look folks, the amount of material produced would be very, very small - on the order of micro or pico curies of the DIAGNOSTIC isotope of fluorine - that has a 6 hour half-life!
Iodine 131 is another reagent common in treating thyroid cancers...
Molybdenum has an isotope with a half-life measured in seconds! Used in scintillation scans of soft tumors. Molybdenum has six stable isotopes and almost two dozen radioisotopes, the vast majority of which have half-lives measured in seconds. Mo-99 is used in sorpation generators to create Tc-99 for the medical nuclear isotope industry.
Finally, the cyclotron is not radioactive - it bombards the target element to create an isotope that is radioactive. I'd live next door to one - even in Anchorage (spent last August in that city) with the extrodinary earthquake & tsunamai risk - because the cyclotron could only release the very small amount of material that it was bombarding at the time of a catastrophic failure.
Also, have any of you folks noticed that AK is 5 time zones removed from the East Coast? You simply can't ship these short-lived isotopes.
Many hospitals have cyclotrons for that very reason! Others have manufacturers in the same city. Not the case in AK.
However, that has *nothing* to do with "audio fidelity" - I just wanted to bring up the fact that AL isn't "non-magnetic" but diamagnetic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetic/
Well, there are utillities out there that will update song play counts - but I never saw any reason to do so, save updating the files for Steve Gibson's podcasts.
Audible has excellent products and I'm a subscriber. I have a 2nd Gen iPod with nothing but audiobooks on it. To my knowledge there is no hack for audible's drm.
However, audiohijack from Rogue Amoeba will record just about any source and one could simply play DRM'ed into audiohijack to create a clean file.
ITunes fails to update the "listened to" flag if a podcast is transferred to an iPod manually. I never do an auto sync on any iPod (save the shuffle) and I'm always resetting that subscription flag on iTunes.
There is an enormous problem with piracy - mostly in S. Asia, off the coast of W. Africa & in the Middle East. Do a Google search on "Samuel Pyeatt Menefee" "Regional Piracy Centre"
One part of his Bio: Closely involved with questions of oceans law and maritime violence, Menefee is Chair of the Maritime Law Association's Working Party on Piracy. He holds positions as IMB Fellow of the I.C.C. - International Maritime Bureau (London) and Fellow to the Regional Piracy Centre (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), and is a member of the I.C.C. Consultative Task Force on Commercial Crime.
This will not prove to be much of a bust. If there were anything of substance in the information there would have been a felony arrest rather than merely a search warrant.
Of course, there are clandestine warrants - entry and installation of a logger followed by entry with a "regular" warrant to collect the data & computers. Perhaps an arrest will follow shortly.
If all the matter comes down to is a nice little fine....
This clown will just up his contribution to the Republicans - just making money as a free rider is status quo ante for the Bushies.
Nope, Joe/Jane teacher doesn't have access while they are working at their government jobs...in fact, they would be stealing if they used their access for personal gain.
And, once again we return to the access to data issue - libraries have limits, too. Where information must be siphoned through one or two computers the demand will vastly outstrip supply.
And, what exactly does a professional have to do with it? If Joe teacher has a query from the IRS he ought to be able to try to work it out without bringing in professionals. This is at the very heart of the broadband access debate. Why pay professionals where a reasonable individual could handle the problem with access to the regulations.
This is not a business issue, it is an access to data / law / infromation issue.
Have you ever tried to defend yourself without access to the tax code?
Assuming that the law is written in a way that permits a lay person to act in his/her own behalf: access to the depreciation tables for computer (business) equipment alone requires high bandwidth.
Oh, and if you are interested in bill tracking - you need bandwidth.
The LIbrary of Congress started Thomas in 1989. That's what the.loc. in http://thomas.loc.gov/ stands for. It was available through BITNET and DIALOG from 1989 forward.
The web-based Thomas went live in January of 1995. This was a partial fulfillment of an Executive Order signed by Wm. J. Clinton on a day that he didn't have any time with Monica. Well, at least on a day when he wasn't acting like the current head of state. http://thomas.loc.gov/home/abt_thom.html/
From the beginning of the Internet there were ways to access the net other than as a government agency or academic institution. BITNET, DIALOG, BRS & BRS After Dark, LEXIS all had portals. Compuserve and The Source had portals to portals for a fee.
I've had constant Internet access for more than 20 years.

Go to SMU. Ask, "How many govdocs are available?" then ask, "How many are hard copy or fiche?" and then you will have a simple answer to a difficult issue.
The simple fact is that the U.S. Govt. has stopped printing many titles. They are issued as web-only docs. This started in 1993. Hence my argument that the digital divide having started mid '90s.
BTW the U.S. Code isn't the issue. It is the new step that has been placed in the path of the people on the lowest rung.
Nope - the US has already dumped the majority of the paper copies. Lawlibraries are only open to the public where they are at state schools and due to budget constraints the paper copies of documents available on the web are being deaccessioned.
Sorry, but the divide is here and now and it has been here since the mid 1990's.
Slashdot Mirror
"Patent Agents" or, non J.D. members of the Patent Bar are being phased out.
Make yourself indespensible across departments/schools.
Consider a J.D. & Patent Law (the Patent Bar). You can pick up the J.D. in 2.5-3 yrs - that coupled with your Ph.D. makes you portable as hell.
You had no business conducting business in school. If you were as advanced as you state, you should have applied for early admission to university.

I'm very happy that the text of ONE book only occupies 7 meg. Now, the tax code runs in excess of 200 volumes and the regs are three times that.
There are whole professions dedicated to the preparation, filing and prosecution of tax law claims.
