the one thing IrDa worked great for was using my HP Jornada with my HP 2100 printer.. was also nice to use the Jornada to print on campus because while they had the pay per page on lpr prints all the printers had an exposed IR port that would just blindly print what was sent. It was also useful to use my iPaq as an A/V Remote control.
what i never did understand is why it was a standard BUT placement and usable angle was never part of the standard.. I've got a 8525 that has it.. on the damn bottom of the phone... where it is completely useless.. and i remember a lot of laptops that put it on the side of the device and had no usable angle other than head on..
it wasn't a bad spec for the time and the proposed use (a wireless serial connection) but the implementations left a good bit to be desired..
And that doesn't apply to just teachers - your right the responsibility for professionalism applies to everyone, teachers, politicians, doctors, police, you, me, every single person.
But at what point to we need to make rules/laws and punish people? Normally the limit is placed at the point where the person crosses the line and has legitimacy done something wrong, but i feel in this case you may have far less than 1% of the time that this action is inappropriate, and therefor they are at the point of punishing people for doing something that isn't wrong. Now i saw there is wording for it being on a "personal" account vs a "official" account, and in that respect i might agree with this. It is along the same lines as a personal/corporate e-mail and the ethical behavior of using them. But even then the problem i see is the every legit and not unprofessional friendships that can form between students and teachers, hell i ended up going to work for one of them for a short bit and i know people that where their students that still do 15 years later.
So for some arm chair math.. lets say you have (what seems to be the upper but of the mid block) and keep it round.. and say worst case is 300 per 100,000 people.
so 0.3% of the pollution is a sex offender, keep in mind this list does not filter only for pedos but also has rapists and people of that nature.
Pretty much the average is at least 1% of the population are teachers of some type.
If given that ALL sex offenders where also teachers and all sex offenders where pedos you could in theory have 1 in 3 teachers be a pedo. But i'd have to say you'd have to be extremely paranoid to think that.
There is also this whole train of thought about how do you prevent things from happening by analyzing what is going on, that i believe is completely missing from this rational of though/policy.. If a teacher makes a student a friend or not will not effect the decision by the student to or not to "groom" the student, and if they are going to do it this will not stop them, might make it harder but will not stop them. The trade off comes down to the value of "making it harder" and the lost benefits/constraints placed on people. And in this case you are now declaring that ONLY pedo's would do this action and there for if you are doing it we can't trust you, and honestly i doubt that is a good way of looking at it. I'd be hard pressed to believe that if a teach where to "friend" a student on face book and then groom them through that, that it would be the only method or sign that they are doing it, and i highly doubt that it would be the most obvious one either.
To that point i think they would be better off leaving it be and then monitoring the other "signs" what ever they are and then use the data we all know is stored and never lost on face book as source of evidence to investigate and hopefully convict the few actual pedos out there.
Again it's not "willful blindness" it's recognizing facts and coming to terms with reality..
is subject to an exception in the case of relatives.
So is it a sold defense that both religion and science believe we all have the same family tree and there for are all related? i know one half of my family tree is exceptionally wide and we can follow it back ~150 years and many generation, and they are all "related"..
i know i'm being nit picky by why not when you have things like this that try to have a work place govern the personal lives of people outside work.
yea because with the current difficulties in reaching escape velocity just to get to orbit.. breaking out of the gravity well will be simple in 10-15 years.
yea just about everyone except big blue and HP will be screwed at this point. while i know Sun (now Oracle) had a lot, they also lost a lot over the years to other players..
which up to this day isn't copyrighted and doesn't need a licence so they more than likely don't have one to redistribute and create derivative works for SQL as why would you pay to licence something that doesn't need to be licensed? that's a waste of money.
while this decision could cause a shit storm, it would be kinda nice to have Oracle get a taste of their own meds
If you would like a donation of more modern hardware just say so - i have several boxes with far better specs that are decommissioned that i don't have a need for.
I'm sorry but all of them even the one you linked to is the same design, they are just polished different. same as how jet liners are the same design they just are done differently.. it's called a dominate design
*some time in the near future* Good news everyone, American restaurants are promoting their use of beef product and not beef it's self as a selling point..
Sorry but none of your examples are examples of "effective practices", they are all examples of poor decisions normally made because they are "good enough" for someone.
Effective is far less subjective than Best when it comes to ways of doing work. you can have 5 different ways of achieving a task ALL can be Effective, and two could be considered "Best" but what is Best is subjective to the people doing them, the environment they are doing them in, and the outside observer reviewing it.
Again while an Effective practice might not be the "best" most efficient/affordable/logical way to do something. If it gets the job done and to the standard that has been set then it is "effective" and there for should be acceptable in court. But it's only acceptable to the standard that it is required to meet.
That was on argument i hear for voting for John Edwards when he was looking at running for president.. When a friend an I where discussing it, i pointed out his horrid attendance record, and the fact that he basically got elected and never went to work. My friend used that argument as to why he would be a good president, he wouldn't show up or sign anything and there for couldn't screw us up anymore than what we already where. Sadly i have to agree, that i'd rather the politicians not show up for work than for them to continue this game they are playing.
and in the case of the comment i was replying to, "Did the lab follow best practices to prevent contamination?", "Best Practice" does not fit but rather "effective practices" does. I agree there is a place for Best Practices but it isn't in processes/functions/methods/practices that can be measured black and white, there you use proven for the application process/function/methods/practices.
i had the same thing.. except it was different values and was wired to the jumpers for the bus speed.. so flipping it would overclock the bus and there for the CPU and did make things go faster.. it was not a wise idea to flip it while running.. but it did work.. I used it to overclock a dual P-Pro setup from 180-233(225).
I hate that term "best practices", especially when used to describe doing something correctly as it is subjective. what i consider Best may not be what you consider Best. I'd rather know that they followed "effective practices" to do the job, while the action they took might have been inefficient, there might be newer ways to do it, but as long as it is still "effective" it should be acceptable.
Sorry it's something that irks me.. as in my field everyone wants to know and follow the "best practices", when in reality what they need is to establish and use "effective practices" and then work on improving from there. And so too often the market allows the term to be interchangeable when in reality they are different things, one subjective the other measurable.
But it does make a difference.. Windows Mobile was/is actually functional.. Windows Phone 7 is not.. sorry but WinMo has always referenced later versions of WinCE. Windows Phone is to WinCE what Dos is to Windows 3.1.. all they share is a parent owner and an hardware architecture.

they don't/wouldn't because until now they have had no need for one.

also from what i can see that car was not exactly protected at all except a simple car cover.
I'm betting these planes will be in fairly good shape
If you would like a donation of more modern hardware just say so - i have several boxes with far better specs that are decommissioned that i don't have a need for.
the could always tack on a boaster that gets them up to speed then detaches and falls back to earth.
