Seriously.
The question has to do with live events on TV. Live events are (almost always) broadcast on network TV which you can get for free over-the-air. You can walk in to your local BestBuy/Walmart/Target/whatever and buy a fairly small TV set for under $100. Then you can watch live TV events on a TV, and live. Trying to work through all of the hoops that are necessary to do this over the interwebtubes, when you can spend $100 to just do it the traditional way, tells me that you are trying to use your trust hammer to fasten in a screw.
Yes, I know this will not work when the over-the-air signals convert to digital. Then you will need to buy a converter, which you can get for almost nothing with the federal incentive program for this purpose.
It actually kind of annoys me that parents do not expect to pay for their kids' college.
In today's knowledge economy, college is almost a prereq to getting the kind of job this guy wants. It used to be that HS was the expected stopping point and could guarantee a decent job. No longer. With more and more folks getting a good post-HS education, and the increasing connectivity in the world, there are more and more well-educated people competing for jobs. If you want to succeed right now, esp in a high-tech field, a college degree is vital. If you, as a parent, want your child to succeed, plan for college.
Do I respect people that pay for themselves to go to college? Absolutely. However, I am planning to pay for my child to go to college. I will sacrifice for them to go to a good school. I want my child to succeed and I think this is one of the best investments I can make for that to happen.
Kind of true. There are five sides, with five dedications - Army, Navy, Air Force, Civil Servants, and Pentagon senior leadership/SECDEF. The Coast Guard is not part of the Department of Defense (except during times of war) and the Marines are part of the Department of the Navy.
CCA, and other NAC solutions, are designed to be used in a business environment (i.e. the same AV, the same anti-spyware, the same firewall, the same patch levels, etc are all in use by all the workstations). It works well in this case (a homogeneous environment). It is impractical for a situation when you don't control the software load on all of the workstations you are subjecting to it.
However, if a school decides that to connect to their network, you need to be protected with a minimal set of "security" software, this is the only way to enforce that right now. So what is the school to do? Require everyone to run an up-to-date version of specific software or let students connect machines with god-knows-what, increasing the risk to everyone on the network? Not a clear-cut answer.
That's not the right way to tell the joke. It's really a prision joke.
A guy gets convicted and sent to prision for butchering a prision joke. As part of like in this prision, all of the inmates get one hour in the yard with everyone else.
On the first day, everyone's sitting around and someone yells out "14." Everyone laughs.
A couple minutes later, someone yells out "29." Everyone laughs.
The new inmate gets confused. He asks the guy next to him what's going on, to which the older inmate replies that they've been in there so long, they've heard all the jokes so many times they just assign a number to each joke and then just say the number.
The new inmate understand. A couple minutes later, he stands up and says "11." Noone laughs.
He sits down and asks his new friend what happened. His friend replies... "Some people can tell a joke... and some people can't."
Easy - federal government. (1) 40 hour work week, no more. (2) One of the best health benefits package for you and your family you can find. (3) Pay that's not outrageous, either high or low. (4) Stability and job security. (5) Conferences and training galore (if you want, not required if you don't). (6) Pay raise every year (cost of living increase).
I could go on but I trust I don't have to. I've been with the federal government for years and I'm not going anywhere. I work 40 a week and I go home. I set my own hours. I love my job.
Absolutely correct.
When I refer to AEDs, I include the application of CPR. While the AED can do a great job restarting a heart that is not behaving correctly, CPR will continue a flow of O2 to the brain - although a much reduced flow.
The AED has two critical things going for it:
(1) It's easy to use. We've trained 8 years olds to use it. It will not shock anything besides v-fib and venticular v-tac. It is literally as simple as putting the two pads where the pictures show and pressing one button. All done.
(2) It actually can shut down and then restart a heart, correcting the condition that is threatening life. CPR has an approaching zero chance of correcting that condition - it's goal is simply to continue O2 flow to the brain until such treatment can be applied.
Ah, true that AEDs are only effective for two specific types of cardiac arrest. However, ALL CASES OF CARDIAC ARREST DEGRADE TO V-FIB. Meaning that you can shock (using an AED) all cardiac arrests at some point - maybe not right when I place the leads, but once they've degraded into v-fib.
BTW, I agree with the need to have paramedics arrive quickly - as I used to be one. And I've seen more than one person saved by AEDs, probably a hundred or so. CPR - zero.
Absolutely not.
CPR keeps blood moving in the body in a forced way, very dissimiliar to the heart's natural movement. CPR aims to keep that person revivable by spreading oxygenated blood around the body - it has an approaching zero chance of actually reviving someone. For someone experiencing a cardiac arrest, the most important action that can be taken is early defib. The parent is correct - these AED devices are going everywhere and they are so easy to use that an average 8 year old can successfully use them if need be. True story - I have seen someone defibed who was without a pulse for around 5 minutes, within 20 seconds he was talking and fully aware. AEDs are that effective. I have NEVER seen anyone regain their pulse after CPR - it simply does not happen.

Take a business marketing class if you are interested in this. It's a well established concept and a mature market (measuring of brand influence).

So you want another Common Access Card card? Then you would need another PIN number... :)
What does this guy have against the Least Significant Bit/Byte (LSB) anyway? Geez...

Well, they already support XHTML 1.1, which was current when the latest version of IE hit the street...so, my money is on yes.
