I started at grocery warehouse at sixteen, worked in a book warehouse when I was older. I've got about six years experience in warehousing altogether. Basically, you've got shelf space, labor, and product. I haven't worked in a regular grocery store, but my experience is that it depends. I could see any independant company having to pay for a standard resource, but that relationship with one vendor doesn't have to be the same across the board. At the book warehouse the vendor had a strong right to shelf space, not so at the grocery warehouse, but I'd assume that if you went to the owner of the grocery warehouse and asked, he'd charge you premium for premium shelf space.

I don't think I've ever seen, in existence, software that acted predictably. Now you claim there's a dimension where you don't think unpredictable software is possible. Whatever.
you could look into using myscribe http://www.cafescribe.com/. I tried to extract one my textbooks to pdf through pdfcreator so I could read it on linux, it was quicker to build a windows box.
But is the DRM in Windows 7 betas disabled? If you can figure all of that out for Vista it can be figured out for the Betas. Hell you'd think the DRM check would be just as effective if it only ran once every three seconds.
So if I called you a retard in front of your little sib (or whatever) how do you think he/she would feel knowing that you are smarter than them? Pretty small right?
That's the news here isn't it. Mensa let an early tester in which is known to be in-precise. I'm guessing that Mensa doesn't expect more than about a 15 point gain from other children. 156-138 = 18, if you expect other kids to catch up a bit, a fifteen point difference between her child and adult IQs would leave a few points difference for good measure.
That's the rub, though isn't it? If she's twelve and half way through HS, she will be intellectually capable of competing with her peers, but not emotionally. How much make up do you let a twelve year old wear if she's attending High School? You could say the same for athletics and possibly public performance.
On the other hand, if you give her a supervisor of average intelligence and a lot of experience that will at some point reach parity with the intelligent rookie. Another way to put it is "experience often trumps talent". Then there's someone with real talent that comes along. She's smart enough that she passed right through Mensa's requirement IQ. I think what scares you is placing her under too many expectations. A very valid concern for someone who is gifted (or anyone for that matter, average, below or above). In this case it seems both the parents and the schools they looked into are trying to do what's best right now for the child. It just so happens that the best thing on this path is to wait. What scares me, is the politics she might face.
But, one day she may face the experience of thinking she is smarter than she actually is. Which gives way to being properly challenged.
I think people just have to fail or struggle sometimes - it builds character.
Later in life everyone that's below average in one area understands the struggle. If you're above average the struggle comes from facing off with peers that approximate your average.
But this is all just my opinion. I'm by no means an expert. I am a computer tech by trade.
thanks. I don't know about anyone else here, but once there's a group of people running from something I don't really give a shit what it is - it could have been an escaped lion AND a jet overhead. You just don't know, self preservation says if it's bad you've got to do something if it ain't bad then well you look like a jackass for twenty minutes today.
Okay, I'll agree that excessive breeding is bad, but I don't see how it's fair to punish someone for having one or two (one for each partner) kids. In a way they are providing society with citizens to work as they retire. There is some leeway for having a child at different age groups. Better incentives for waiting until thirty, might cover quite a bit of losses with regards to someone who has a child at 16 and lives to 99. The comparison is having a child at 30 and living to 99, the child being better equipped to contribute to society could cover more than just the 14 working years you'd expect. This also, generally adds to the quality of life.
Most things that shorten life expectancy also devalue quality of life. I'd go against it.
On the other hand I'm not 100% sure I could advocate placing extra taxes on a 16 year old that is having a child. In this respect I suppose I would just provide a bonus for hitting the optimum age range - say 25-35. Everyone else is either too young or too old.
what about incentive for two kids, punishment for anything above 4. Example, 3 kids would give a deduction for having one. (+2 tax bonus -1 tax penalty = one child tax deduction).

Hey, I'm not going to be happy until I get full support for Linux From Scratch. I want it all to "just work". Uh, wait...
Try nLite. Master your XP cd, plug it in and walk away.

So now that we have professional input, who's going to redo the joke?

This is funny, not the blog, I didn't read it yet, but I felt a little nauseated when I saw you posted it. HOW DARE YOU COPY AND PASTE
So, does the moderator get the 2000-2010 deca whooshey?

You're an idiot. Blood alcohol is blood alcohol. The big guy can drink a little more than the little woman. Just not as much as you'd like.

If this was obvious your fucking post wouldn't be modded "informative". The irony is thick.

that would make it bullshit.

I'm bookmarking your comment, every time I feel like a horrible procrastinator I'm going to read it.
