how do you describe music to a person who has never heard, its a moot point, why would the transcript need to go with the broadcast, that gets beyond the whole resonable accomodation i talked about in another post, everything would have to be either scripted or on a big delay for it to work, unless you know people who are super fast and accurite typers , there is always closed captioning on tv too
i said that, i also said it loses a lot that way, it would be just a shadow of the origanal, gives you an idea of what it is but still a lot is lost, its the whole blind men describing the elephant story
there is just a LITTLE differnce between the making the net usable to a blind person and making visual art enjoyable to a blind person. i'm guessing that they are using the standard in the americans with disibilities act, that is you must make resonable accomadation to the point where you don't change the nature of the job, eg. a ramp into a building is reasonable but making it so a blind person can drive a bus isn't, there is no way to make the change because to drive you NEED to see, you don't need to be able to walk w/o assistance for an office job. see the line? it isn't a bright line but it is there. back to the paintings vs. the web thing. a painting really can't be adequately translated into into a nonvisual medium, you could describe it but it loses a lot, you could make it raised but you lose color, it has to be visual to get the effect. now the web can be made nonvisual, as many people said before, lynx is a text browser that could be made into speach if the site is well designed. thats a resonable accomodation, making paintings non-visual isn't.
please excuse poor spelling and grammar... its my disability and if you mock me i'll sue
at the point a country has an effective NMD they for all intents and purposes have this invulerable shield that they can attack from behind. no one want to risk that. right now we are at a balence, albeit a precarious one. no one will launch nukes because they know that one of the other nuclear powers will retailiate, resulting in both parties destruction. the only way in the status quo there will be a nuclear conflict is it a) a country has this "shield" to attack for behind, hence being removed from the doctorine or MAD or b) someone gets very desperate and feels that they have nothing to lose, thats why we have to worry about these rogue states getting nukes
go ahead and disprove it, neither side can prove their side or disprove the other, i've seen enough to believe in God.
btw your point doesn't answer my point, i said that the tolerances for start to be able to exist are tiny, go outside them and they couldn't exist in the form they are now. if you could show wm "squillions" of universes with different physical constants and life, that would be a point.
i never said they don't form naturally. if God set everything up right than stars, life everything would take care itself. i believe once you get past the setting up phase than everything can formm "naturally" its the setting up phase i have trouble believing occured without an outside influence
i do, i want more than the popular opinion... i'm glad that people are protected from my being offtopic but the debate on what the tax dollars are for is ok, i've been converted, i love big brother, unix rules, i want to build a beowolf cluster, bill gates is the devil. i don't need to think its easier to beelieve what others tell me
1. email me if you want to continue this 2. intelligence and spelling are not the same 3. if i can't spell a word i try to spell it phonetically (i had to look that one up) and a person of average intelligence SHOULD be able to decipher what i'm saying my sounding it out, you know that skill you learned in grade school. 4. please make a substantial argument, not a whine about my style... you're lucky that this is typed instead written, then you might have a point about readability do to my terrible handwriting and tendency to use obscure abbreviations.
if you wanna continue this debate, backchannel me, i freely post my email. how am i a loser b/c i am trying to be involved in an intelligent conversation? at what point does an argument become invalid when there are spelling mistakes in it. the formulation of an argument is based on ideas, not spelling, granted my spelling sucks, i admit that, your points lack content, whose points are less valid? i've had numerous oppertunities to attack you on logic such as bad spelling=invalid argument but i kept it away from that b/c it gets us no where so there is no point to these personal attacks. if you want to continue this email me.
ahh, attack my point purely based on the fact i can't spell, and my grammar is incredibly informal unless it has to be formal. i've yet to see a challenge to my logic that is a. founded in any point that i make, b. not an attack on my religion or c. based in logic what so ever. HOW THE HELL DOES POOR SPELLING MAKE MY POINT INVALID? i would love to get into a good religious debate (i was a debator for 4 years, i love a good debate) email me if you to continue this, but not if you plan on just attacking my spelling as it seems to be the trend here. for supposably intelligent people many of you seem, ignorent (there is a difference between ignorance and stupidity), intolerent, and close minded people. and where the did the flat earth comment come from after i said i tend to belive the scientific literature, including evolution. what is with these personal attacks, why not attack my points?
i have had a ti-85 that i have had for almost 5 years now that has survived more drops, spills and being stepped on then i care to think about, plus its been turboed, i think it now runs something like 6 times faster than a standard on. i also have a 86 and 89 that i've had no problem with, i'd like a hp but none of my classes have ever taughr to them and i understand the learning curve is a little steep, so i never found it worth the extra expense of a 4th graphing calc
no, thats not what i'm saying. if you found a watch on a beach would you assume that it came about naturaly. we are more complex than said watch, there was a good article in a magazine called Analog a few years ago that pointed out that the tolerances for even star production are incredibly tight. i've researched this type of thing have you. i find absolutly no contridiction between what the scientific community believes to be the have happened and the teachings of the bible. tehy aren't there, look at the order of creation in genisis, do you think that 6000 years ago people would have had the same order for the creation of the universe and evolution of life as the current theories go? i agree thought truth by democracy is horrible. all i have to say is believe what you like but research first, don't be afraid to learning something new and don't discount ideas just b/c they come from a source that you don't share the same beliefs, evaluater them on a case by case basis, other wise you will end up missing many insightful viewpoints. oh yeah i you misunderstand my logic, you relise Zeno used perfectly sound logic to prove motion doesn't exist, you have to be careful how you apply logic, existince does not mean design, the incredible odds against us being here point that way
russia's dead hand system is scary, especially with the state of their economy. the deadhand system is set up so if a nuclear blast is detected a full barrage of nukes would be launched, survivablitiy is what makes MAD work, the goal is even if we're all dead you die to, i ask you what happens if something happens to that system... we'd all die. read bruce blair's global zero alert. he was a missileer during the cold war and the capabilities freaked him out, now he champians the something called de-alerting, basicly you do something that makes it so the missles c/n be launched immediatly, be it removing the guidence chips, storing the warheads off site, removing the launch pin, you still have the nukes but there is a cool down period. read jonathon schell's the gift of time for a more extreme but incredible well research proposal of nuclear abolotion. we are very lucky nothing has happened yet with how close we've been to the brink
the christian science monitor is one of the most objective news sources i have ever read. i find it offensive that you automaticly assume a full third of the united states and a good chunch of the rest of the world are irrational fanatics who ignore the burden of scientific proof. the catholic church has since not long after darwin proposed evolution stated that it doesn't conflict with the teachings of the church, most protestant denominations that i know of (including the one i belong to) share this belief. You will in fact find if you do some reaserch that many scientists believe that there is some design in nature and in fact many are christians. the tolerances in the univese are SO strict to allow stars to form, produce super novas that make the elements that we need to be here that many people believe that there is no chance of them occuring naturaly, if the weight or charge of protons, electron or neutrons were off stars couldn't form the way they are, chemistry as we know it couldn't occur b/c bonds would either be to tight, to loose , or not occur at all. do your research or you are worse off than the fanatics that you defame
there are also things called i belive SLIMES its a bad acronym that i c/n remember right now. they are even farther removed from the photosynthosis life cycle. the disolve rocks to get energy, some scientists believe that if there is life on mars this would be what it, and it was some of the first life on earth still around.
i went to the boundry waters (big canoeing/camping area in northern minnesota... very isolated from civilization) and you can be assured that when the tent almost collapsed b/c of the wind or when it sounded like things were moving outside of the tent i was damn scared
the fbi has some authority in some countries such as russia b/c of inter-gov deals to work with international crime. not that not having authority has ever stopped the us from interfearing with other countries... really they are just advsiosors... with guns, not a some covert team underming your govenrment
where i work (at a grocery store) we have a bunch of fake cameras but then there is atleast one real pinhole camera that we have found that is constantly watching one of he drawers

personal no, buisness it would depend on stuff i really don't understand the point is if you are practicing good design you use alt tags

a text version of radio/tv broadcasts--- its called a transcript, you can get them for almost every major broadcast or parts of broadcasts
