Let me get this straight, they arrest her for thinking a light-up hoodie is a bomb at the _information_desk_ in the airport, but had she gone to a train station, a bus station, a Red Sox game, a Patriots game, movie theaters, museums, aquariums, or any other event with thousands more people around, no one would point several guns at her head?
If some lady at the information desk asked about my bracelet out of ethernet wire in a condescending tone, I'm not going to tell her how to make one. I doubt she would even understand it.
I only think about airport security when I'm actually taking a flight. That's when I leave my knitting scissors and swiss army knife and personal water bottle with water in it at home. Otherwise, I'm bringing them to the airport to wait for Northwest Airlines late planes.
If airports are so worried about the security of people who aren't flying, maybe they need to have security screenings OUTSIDE of the airport.
This girl was entirely justified. Her rights have been trampled.
I think you're right on track, and I agree with you. All of my professors were the same age as my parents. My mother was steered into a career as a Home Economics teacher! How are you supposed to get a science professor out of that track?
These days, out of all of my friends, workers, and acquaintances, I know I am the most logical of them all. I know I'm the best at math. I know how to shave valuable seconds off of a process, and I have the drive to do it. (That said, I'm not the best at tax law!)
I really don't believe all the made up effects about these brain "natural" differences. There are scientiffic studies made up to try to explain spatial differences, but again, I think they can be attributed to environment. I was brought up with barbie dolls and toy trucks, and damned if I can't shoot a.22 with the best of men.
Girls are given more attention when they are younger, and there isn't a lot of attention to be gained from a career in economics or math. What kind of scientiffic mind cannot understand this outcome? It seems very plain and simple to me!
Ignore your daughters a little more. Don't let her talk on the phone to her friends every night. It worked for me.
One of my favorite christmas gatherings was the one when my cousin got a Merlin. I learned how to play music and play blackjack in the same day. There was a simon/memory game function, magic square strategy game...it was fantastic!
I think the show discourages everyone getting the same results. Alton shows you what can be varied in a few recipes, but lets you know why it turned out well in the first place. Those are the variables you don't have leeway with. Makes sense to me because I'm a programmer, and I work well with variables. The cooking/mixing is just compiling, and sometimes you need an accelrator or something.
Cooking, just like any art, is only an art because someone has a high level of mastery of the fundamentals. This show displays the why of the fundamentals, so we don't have to go through 30 flopped souffles, and continue to do a dance to the souffle goddess for the ones after the good one.
..i never want to touch their code. usually it lacks basic logic. the programmer/designer usually does not have a good grasp on other mathematical concepts either. this is true for even simple business logic. the code is usually inefficient...in my experience anyway. the math really helps you to deal with thousands of processes working together, as well as potentially avoiding deadlock by looking at things on a grand logical scale.
again, just my experience. take the math.
i'm a knitter, a very low-maintenance knitter. screw wool! i want a nanotube cashmerino blend with eyelashes that glow in the dark that can be washed with all-temperature cheer and dried in the dryer. i'd make more ponchos and wrist warmers and leg warmers than you could stand! nanotube science, take me away!

get your sofia mini blanc de blancs in a can for that oscar party!
(IN A CAN!)
the amish still use horses and donkeys. we lived close enough to the elevator that we used gravity and a kid at the steering wheel of a grain truck in neutral.
i have finished knitting all of the xmas presents i am going to give this year. take that walmart, best buy, and malls! yay for wool and alpaca from peru! knitting is great for coders, you guys should try it. it is sort of punch-card archane methodology, but wonderful for the anal machine language coder inside of us all.
c'mon there are like 37.5 veeger jokes in this thread. 2001 didn't come true. we celebrated HAL's birthday, but was he ever BORN? the matix jokes are however still quite fresh.
i prefer to be serenaded only in person. the band follows me and only plays my requests. when there's not enough money that month, i borrow a bunch of my friends' trained monkeys.
i just used tesla monday when i got a facial! holy cow i was surprised that one of his inventions is now being used to facilitate expensive complections EVERYWHERE.
the salon gal used it to "cauterize the wounds" on my face after the "extraction" procedure. HOLY COW WAS I SHOCKED. i may move from tech to beauty sciences after this discovery!

1. cigarettes 2. chocolate 3. crack!
actually in nebraska we don't use 9mm, we use 12 and gauge shotguns. handguns are for wusses.

oh thanks a million 3-2-1 contact magazine...for screwing up my future as a programmer! oh wait.
they just did this with wonderfalls before axing it too. the last time it aired, it was up against the apprentice and CSI. grrr! pox on fox!
all of the above reasons, plus i'm a sucker for muppets.
i for one, cannot wait until i can download nirvana's "waif me"

I thought mapmakers used this to keep their maps unique and copywritable.

i drink lots of tea, and the same thing happens for me. problems just magically solve themselves.
you don't BUY an RIAA jacket, you make your own and then share them with your friends.

aqua teen hunger force! the brak show! yeah they're only 10 minutes or so, but that's all you need! don't forget home movies!

yeah edison made the electric chair, the riaa made the boy bands. both cause me to go into convulsions and die.
