Don't discount the fact that female teachers (by far that majority in elementary schools) are not equipped to deal with the energy and physicality of young male students. Being a boy had been defined as a pathological condition.
This is a great opportunity for Apple to send a bunch of moles to the MS stores and sink their retail venture.
"Sir, I think that your need would be better served by an Apple..."
"...something compatible, better, and free. Look at keynote, for example."
Well, Keynote isn't better than PowerPoint and it's not free, but it is compatible. One out of three ain't bad...
Well, what if the mammal preyed on the eggs of the birds and not the birds themselves? There could be significant effects on birth rates due to egg predation.
This is evidenced by the population *increase* of wild turkeys in NY due to a *decline* of nest predators such as foxes, raccoons and skunks (die off from rabies) - in this case the corollary is also true.
When I was working IT for a digital imaging company (a startup - I think you know where this is going) I was logging 60-80 hrs a week without fail. I missed dinners regularly - and my daughter's school plays, etc. When my wife filed for separation, it was a wakeup call to me about the balance between work and family. I had lost the balance. So, I quit IT and started work in biotech - 40hrs flex-time with 40 paid days off per year. The divorce is final, I have joint custody of my daughter and I've never been happier.
The funny thing is, I was working so many hours in my job because I was miserable in my marriage and didn't want to be home. It took a while for me to figure that out, but once I realized that being a work-aholic is often a cover for other problems (depression, etc) I found a new, useful perspective on my relationship to work.
Being there for your family mean being physically present for them. Showing up (at home)is 90% of making a marriage work. IT is built on the paradigm of work-weary geeks with no social live and no families. Seems like they don't mix well. Exceptions are noted - your milage may vary.
My new 06 Rabbit has iPod integration...and it sucks. Only 6 playlists and you can't see any of the song info on the stereo, plus you can't access songs any way except to click through them one at a time. So much for the click-wheel. It would've been nice to have steering wheel mounted controls too... I know it's an entry level car, but c'mon - it's supposed to be German engineering! I guess the Germans don't like music?
There a lot of legal precedents that contradict your and your friend.
There was recently an article on/.(link anyone?) that described a court case where a website sued users who ignored their click-thru TOS agreement that forbade employees of a certain company/agency from entering the site. The people who ignored the click-thru agreement entered the site in contradiction to the TOS click-thru.
The court decided that the website did not make a *reasonable* effort to keep certain people out of their site (e.g. by using a mail-back procedure to sign up for the site), so the website host lost the case. Final message: Unless you make *reasonable* precautions to protect you digital/bandwidth assets, you can't expect people stay away just because you want them to. The coffee shop did NOT make a reasonable effort to block unwanted users. Now if I could only find TFA...
Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life
Well, genetic material may not 'change' during an animal's lifetime (if we're only talking about DNA), but the way that genes are expressed DOES change, depending on environmental condiditons. Under different circumstances, a gene may express itself several different ways, depending on which facilitator protiens are working with it. So - chickens may have previously given birth to live young, but a differntial expression of the egg production gene may have led to an egg laying individual who was selected for, ad infinitum. This is not a mutation - and it's all covered in the new theories about Evo-Devo Bio (Evolutionary Developmental Biology).
MCI is notorious for this. They claimed that I owed them $$ and sent my account to a collection agency - I had a ding on my credit report until I reported them to the NY State Attorney General's office and succesfully exposed their fraud.
MCI sucks, but with a parent company like Worldcom, what'd ya expect...

Unfortunately caffeine is not a cure.
Well, I don't see that porn is particularly harmful to children...
You apparently have never been to Goatse.cx
...so I don't trust it. Anyone have a link to one written by a man?
