I have never used that solution, but I do employ something similar:
1. Coat the disc with liquid dish soap
2. Rub the soap into the disc
3. Rinse off the disc
4. Dry it with paper towel
It usually works.
I think a lot of people have been missing something here. If you work in I/T in Silicon Valley, your wages may be lower, but you also have a low switching cost. On the other hand, if you work in Montanta in I/T your wages may be higher, but there is also a higher switching cost.
Example: If you get layed off in Montana, it will take longer to find another job in the I/T field, and if you get laid off in the Silicon Valley, it won't take you as long. This is basic economies of agglomeration. So while it may seem wages are higher/lower in one area or another, what is really happening is that firms in Montana have to pay more because of the high switching cost associated with finding a new job in the field. More than likely the person will end up having to move and/or spend some time unemployed.
They are so rare that the last one known in our galaxy was seen in 1572 by the great Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, who first coined the term nova, for "new star", not realising he was in fact witnessing the violent end of an unknown star.
My life is forever changed now that I know that Penny Arcade's Tycho Brahe was named after a Danish astronomer by the same name.
I am too busy getting an education in Kansas to "debate" this anymore. Since you decided to make this more personal, I thought I should know who I was debating. http://www.subsume.com/images/working_with_windows .jpg It is easy to see why you would think we are products of evolution. Have a good day, and I hope that Y2K thing wasn't too much for your company to handle. I mean you still have it on your website almost six years later. Must have been the high water mark of your career.
I was attempting neither humor nor sarcasm. I guess that answers my questions on your reading comprehension. Is your mother really a teacher?
[sarcasm]Nope. You caught me. I was lying to score points with you.[/sarcasm] What about your reading comprehension? You: Henceforth from this day, Kansas education is worthless. Fact: The 2001 decision was overturned before it could be implemented, and this one will probably be overturned as well. In spite of that, you are going to let 6 people from Kansas rule how you judge any education obtained in this state, even though Kansas is ranked 13th in education. Why do my personal feelings on the issue of evolution matter? I was taught evolution in high school and college.
Kid, you're just not getting it. ID is not science! Putting anything that is not science in the science classroom makes about as much sense as forcing churches to teach evolution in Sunday school.
You have no idea who I am, or how old I am. I said I was attending Washburn U in Kansas, but they offer both undergraduate and graduate studies. My age is not important to this debate. ID is not science? Neither is evolution. It takes just as much faith to believe in one as it does the other. Show me where anything other than micro-evolution has occured and I will believe your theory. I have no idea how it happened, but ID seems just as plausible as evolution in my eyes.
As I have stated, it is now beyond isolated instances and has gotten to the level in Kansas of a community problem. When you talk about "preached evolution" you demonstrate that, indeed, it has gone beyond mere a mere political issue and is a wide-sweeping people problem. It's like everything you write reaffirms my decision to write off a Kansas education.
So the people in my school that are living on campus or around this area from other states, you are going to write them off too? Your broad brush will get you in trouble one day. Because of six people in Kansas, you are going to write off any education from here? I graduated high school before the 2001 decision would have taken effect. I will graduate from a college that happens to be located in Kansas before this year's decision will take effect in 2008. That doesn't seem to matter to you. Because both of my diplomas say Kansas, none of my academic achievements, my internship, or my work experience will matter to you. In labor econ we never learned that screening technique. I will have to talk to my prof and see if we can get that added to textbooks. Maybe you might want to write your own labor econ book and see what others think about your hate Kansans first plan.
I question your education. What grammar teacher taught you that saying "mere a mere" is proper English? Were you educated in Arizona perhaps? Hmm?
So? A number is not a standard. It would be quite possible for all 50 States to be offering a sub-standard education. Regardless, I am ranking Kansas last, and you can thank your representatives for that, although your own words here don't help your case one bit. You would have been better off remaining silent.
Regardless of fact, you will continue on your path of bigotry against Kansans? I see you had nothing to say about my other facts. Please ignore them because they don't fit in with your theory that Kansans are not well-educated people who live in a state with a thriving tech sector. Please. For me?
And yet I am, as are millions of other people who are not from Kansas.
Your attempts are sarcasm are not humorous.
I said as much. Is reading comprehension in Kansas as bad as their science curriculum?
See above.
Good, then you know this did not just happen yesterday, but has in fact become an ugly pattern with Kansas over the last few years. I don't have time to sort out which batches of kids are and aren't being screwed over in that State. Your community needs to understand that science is not going away.
Ok... the 2001 decision was turned over the next year- which was before it could be implemented. This decision will not go into effect until August of 2008, and I assure you it will be overturned before that. Even if it isn't, I don't care. All the policy says is that it will allow materials that are critical of evolution. If this theory is so great and ID so weak and lame, won't the comparison of the two make evolution's position stronger, not weaker? Also won't Kansas school children be able to use critical thinking skills? Instead of one theory being shoved down their throats, they now have a choice. Since evolution is so much better, it won't even matter that ID is being taught, right? Or do you think that your mighty theory will crumble to pieces like the piece of crap it is when it isn't the only thing being taught?
It will. It has, and that you do not see it means it has clearly affected your learning abilities. The degree is worthless because the State brazenly fails to meet a necessary standard of science education, and who knows how many other areas it fails you as well. If you think that's OK, then it is you who should not be in management or in any way involved in the HR process.
You are ignorant. Tell me what control the Kansas State Board of Education has over the state's colleges? What? Zero? I have taken several science classes at Washburn U, and they all preached evolution. I even had to memorize the all of the major eras of evolution in Kansas for my Kansas Historical Geology class.
It is not my theory, it is a scientific theory. It is not "preached", and it is not particularly "fine". What it is is science and as such belongs in a science curriculum, and other things do not. You have misplaced your outrage. It is not my actions that should be upsetting you, it is the actions of your own community that need to corrected.
Error 404: Humor Not Found. I happen to agree with what they did, so my outrage is not misplaced. It is preached. It is part of the scientific community's mantra and they preach it.
Yes, pretty much. As I said, I don't have the time to figure out who has and hasn't been tainted by your sub-standard educational system, and by how much.
Yes, it is! That's the whole point! There are permanent damages that result in your State's dismissive attitude towards science. It has gone back and forth so much that it has become clear to me that your representatives don't know up from down. Why should you get credit for being right next year if you're just going to get it all wrong again in 3 years?
Well, I live in Lawrence, and the rep for my section of Kansas voted against this. As far as your permanent damage idea, Kansas is ranked 29th in the State Economy Index. As far as science goes, we are ranked 42. So even with our dismissive attitude, somehow 8 states are below us... As far as Kansans with degrees or some form of higher education, we are ranked 14th. http://www.neweconomyindex.org/states/2002/kansas. html
Ok... You sir should not be in management or in any way involved in the HR process. You are going to shuffle resumes from Kansas to the bottom of the pile because of this? For one thing, this decision just happened yesterday. I know for a fact they did not burn the old textbooks yet, my mother is a Kansas school teacher.:)
In any case, how does this make a four year degree from Kansas U, K-State, Washburn, Wichita State, or any of the other fine colleges in this state worthless? This will not change how people learn at college. Your fine theory of evolution is still being preached by all of my science professors.
So will you discriminate against people who graduated from Kansas high schools after the class of 2006, people who graudated from college in Kansas (who may not have graduated from a KS high school), or are you so bigoted that anytime you see the word Kansas on a person's resume you will automatically disqualify them? That IMHO is way worse than some school board's decision that will probably be overturned.

The reason they pay the CEO so much isn't to motivate him. It is to motivate the other top management (VPs) who want to have that job someday.
