    There are people who ACTUALLY do not know how to turn on PCs....giving them choice of software is not the primary concern, nor is teaching office the primary goal...it is learning to use a PC by way of using a meaningful software product to prepare them for collage work.

    you know that 15 Mbit down on a cable connection is not the rate at which you upload right? upload speeds are typically 1 Mbit, 2 if you pay extra.

  8. I had Oxy after my Donor surgery on How Big Pharma Hooked America On Legal Heroin · · Score: 1

    After I donated my Kidney to my son, I was given Oxy for pain management....I hardly used the PCA when I was still in the recovery/observation unit...the nurse had to remind me. So when they gave me the Oxy, I started taking it for a few days on a 6 hour schedule. I decided to hold a dose on the 3rd day I was taking it and the most pain I felt was the punching of the staples (the removed the kidney through my belly using laparoscopicprocedures) I did feel like crap though, run down and a little irritated. That is when I knew I did not need the Oxy. My pain was no worse but my body was getting used to it so I went cold turkey and tossed the remaining 30 day supply (CVS drug disposal bag)

    Species is a qualitative, not a quantitative definition. The reason for that is due to the fact that it is a taxonomic category.

    Perhaps some day we can understand enough about genetics and proteomics to reclassify organisms according to their genetic or preteomic drift. That would be quantifiable.

    In what logical argument can you construct a taxonomic or genetic genetic tree that does not have the modern population of the planet as part of a single species?

    I had posited this idea back in my High school Genetics class in a report I wrote about Human evolution. I Discussed the Multi-regional theory and the out of Africa theory and to me, the Multi-regional theory was absurd on its face and the Out of Africa theory had a much better model but could not, IMO explain how the different human populations evolved to physically adapt to their environments so quickly. I used inter-breeding as a mode to allow for out of Africa but also account for the adaptations each human population has in the different regions of the planet.
