Mostly because someone has to be a layer between the school board and the teachers, and someone has to do all the paperwork and management that goes into running an entire school system.
Teachers just don't have time to tell the janitors what needs to be done. They don't have time to be guidance counselors. They're -teachers-, and while teaching is the primary purpose of a school, there are many other things that have to get done, too.
And that's what Administrators are -supposed- to be for: to make the school the best teaching environment possible.
By the way, I hated my administration in High School. They were essentially incompetent good ol' boys at Choctawhatchee High School, in Northwest Florida.
I hate to mention it, but a -mandatory- evacuation of NOLA was not declared until about 10 am Sunday morning -- less than 24 hours before the storm made landfall.
Why not wait to see the full impact of this disaster before you reflexively respond with sarcasm and wit? Please.
Mostly because the all-night bars in New Orleans were open, and had signs to the effect of: "We won't die sober!!!".
The city itself is a dark, grim humour, and...yeah, something insightful here.
There's plenty of time in the day for reverence. Here, we come to laugh. (c'mon, it's Slashdot. Nothing is reverent or serious.)
Well, the FCC has made a NPRM saying that "Yes, Code is Going Away." Odds are, it'll be fact in about 3-6 months, tops. I've already passed my General exam, but I'm not sure whether I just want to be lazy, or go ahead and get my code out of the way...
Anyways, you're basically looking at 300 milliwatts for cell phones.
N0ZES is still reserved for you, assuming you're Michael Schwarz =) The FCC seems to be unaware that your father is now a silent key; apologies.
Sweet; thanks. I'm looking at 1N231, possibly; what're you getting?
I only now realized that 1N231 is like, the -only- 1N that doesn't have a re-up bonus after your first enlistment... -sigh-
I'm also learning that you start to speak a different language when you join the military...
Well, yes and no. Actually, mostly "no", unfortunately.
If this were a perfect world, we could call a summit in Baghdad, invite all the insurgents, and discuss our differences.
Unfortunately, the insurgents aren't much on discussing stuff. Even further, the reason we can't just let them mind their business is that their business, at the moment, happens to mean killing Americans, pro-democracy Iraqis, and oh, right, Israel. They would continue to do this if we withdrew from Iraq. They would continue to do this if we withdrew support from Israel.
There is a fundamental conflict with the violent terrorist elements of Islam and the Western world, one that extends further than mere tabletop conversation, but into hearts and minds. The time for discussion was seventy years ago; at this point, requesting negotiations and meetings and "understanding our differences" is much akin to Churchhill requesting an interview with Hitler to work out their differences during the Battle of Britain.
Oh, and I'm not scared of DDoS attacks. Slashdot does that all the time =)
The marines were using a reinforced tank
Well, actually, it was an APC.
Sorry to be pedantic, but an M1A2 Abrahms is a tank. The Marines were in an APC.
What would we do if the terrorists actually attacked the RICH people? oh heaven help us.
like, uh, I dunno. attacking the financial and economic centers of new york?
just a thought.
As a (Real Soon To Be) member of the United States Air Force [this-is-not-an-official-opinion-disclaimer], I can not only -not- berate you as living scum......I can actually sympathize with you.
There is absolutely, absolutely a place in this world for nonviolent people. Hell, there's even room for 'em in a war zone, if you feel up to being medical assistance with the Red Cross / Red Crescent, or helping in refugee camps, or, god - a million places where people who just want to stop pain and suffering can be used. Pick an American inner city, for instance. 'Tis an easy way to start at home.
Useless soldiers are not worthless people, nor do they deserve berating from servicemembers. Like Solomon said, though, there's a time for peace, and a time for war. And when it's time for war, we intend to be the absolute, indisputable best.
And hey, rest easy. If there's ever a draft, they'll ask you about six million times whether you're a consciencious objector.
I can verify all of the above, and proclaim the V710 to be a seriously halfwaydecent phone. Especially for $100. I've got one.
Also, your wife probably has a T730C, but it's hardly worth quibbling about, since it's just a carrier change and a new faceplace =) I gave my girlfriend my old one.
By the way, pick up the Asurion insurance. It's worth the money; they do good work.

(I'm guessing it's going to take at least past this hurricane season before anything meaningful will happen.)
As a 20-year Northwest Florida resident, I absolutely would not bet on it.

Looks like $8 to renew your old call sign. Check out the link: http://www.qrz.com/detail/W0VDI

You should listen to NPR more. Or wander down and talk to your local Emergency Manager, who will tell you exactly how much they love their ARES ops.
Easy. Legally, CB talks across town. Amateur radio talks around the world.
Obviously I can see why paying $40 (The same cost as a night of pizza and coke with friends?) might put some people off...
The fact that you would rather have a web browser than spend a night with pizza, coke, and friends, reminds me that we are, indeed, on Slashdot.
Comments b0rked?

Look, I use it all day and never once have I smelt sulphur or heard the screams of the damned coming from my computer speakers.
Burn him. Burn him now.
Obviously a witch.
Hmn. I'm headed to BMT shortly, as a 1N...well, I'll be 1NXXX, at any rate. DEP, y'know. anyways, any suggestions?

I definitely want pics, too!

Interestingly, the UF team ran Windows XP on their embedded computer.
'course it was! What other OS would win an AUV competition? After all, XP is just NT redone, and as we all know, NT sinks ships...

True true. And by "more", you mean $5/month =) for markedly better service and support. At least on the voice side.
