My kids have consequences for bad grades, I tell them what grade I expect from them after every progress report, I teach them how to study, and that "no homework" does not mean they have no work to do for school.
My oldest son had reading problems when he was young due to an diagnosed eye tracking problem. He fell 3 years behind. I taught he how to work hard for school and now he is going into High School with a 4.0 in standard curriculum. His life was reading, and homework for the last 3 years, but he achieved a level of success most people would never have expected from him because I taught him to work hard and expected that level of engagement from him.
a student's success in education is impacted so much by the parents for most children, that disinterested parents will kill a child's future.
like those damn publishers who are putting creationism into science text books.... those Democrat backed publishers? Shit only slings both ways when there are two ways to sling it.
Absolutely.....remember you pay analysts to figure out how to do things....let them do them do that and you decide the best solution from what they come back with.....I hate when an executive makes an implimentation decision without listening to the people who have to build the.system.
There is a market for sub 300 dollar notebooks.... they are called notebook computers.....I bought a 15 inch Toshiba notebook for my wife... LCD screen, 250 gig HD, 4 gigs of memory, Decent graphics and an AMD cpu for $279. Why would I bother with a POS netbook when I can get a fully functioning PC with a sane resolution?
Your first two points kinds are meaningless since people have fled FF for a UI exactly like the one that you claim is a reason that they left FF.
You are correct about FF's performance, but people will not just come back to it because it gets better performance... I left FF because I LIKE Chrome.
Your fourth point is meaningless again because people have not left FF for a browser that does the same exact thing.
My experience has been the vendor theoretically knows their product, in that they know where to configure something.... but they know shit about how their product operates in the IT infrastructure of your company. most of the vendor products I have installed needed quite a bit of extra code to be written just to fit into the environment and be able to be properly monitored so the support staff on our end could go home for a weekend and not have to worry about files that did not process for 4 days with the first alert being the people we send these processed files to bitching.
Another product (an e-forms product) was so difficult to publish new forms in, that when I handed it off I wrote a utility that allowed the new support staff to publish, move, rename, and remove forms from any location in the forms tree.
Vendors pretend that their products are the only ones in your IT department. you still need good staff to integrate them.
If you run the project correctly and to EPIC's methodology, then the builders (hospital Employees typically) will be validating with the users....but even user validation isn't good enough because the default answer from so many people in a user community is "make it a drop down (they mean category list of course) with 50,000 choices so we capture every possible thing we can think of".
At any rate...EMRs and PHRs are no where near the capabilities you mentioned because we are just starting to crawl out of the dark ages of the little start ups manned by retards who want to sell their crap ware to a hospital for 250K plus "support" and all it comes equipped with is an HL7 parser that they built over a weekend and is so inflexible, they have to rebuild it to make a modification to the message handling...causing you to regression test your Interfaces.
We are just now getting integrated solutions that handles the transition of care from the physician office to the ER through he many permutations of In patient care and out patient services. The current focus is on inter hospital communication of patient data and access to a PHR when ever a patient wants it with out having to request some HIM drone to pull part of their chart...then run to radiology for the radiology portion of their chart....etc.
Once we get all that working, then I think companies will be able to properly focus on the star trek aspects....but I do not necessarily see the value in your avatar idea for better patient care...it sounds more flashy wow factor than anything,
Not arguing that cache isn't old and MUMPS isn't archaic crap from people.who appear to not understand language development, but the UI of EPIC is as good and simple.as the people who build it for the hospital want it to be.
I don't know when you stopped supporting it but it has become much much much better since the Modle.system was implimented in 2006.
Uhhh.... Meaningful use is a government regulation all healthcare providers have to meet by 2016 or face huge cuts in their medicare reimbursement. It standardizes a lot of things around features.
Cerner and EPIC systems already meet meaningful use and are very user friendly if your IT department knows how to build for the end user. Centricity is a lost cause and needs to die
The Centricity product line is such a non-integrated fugly and clunky Kludge that MS can only make it better.....
I think this might be the exit from the Enterprise EMR market that I have been saying GE will perform since their customers are dumping them for Cerner and EPIC.
That is pretty standard....and again....IF MS PROVIDES SERVICE PACK UPDATES that keep enterprise customers up to date enough to run apps built on the latest platform then there is no "issue" for business users with a faster release cycle.
If MS started breaking backwards compatibility every year you MIGHT have an issue because upgrades to vendor based 3rd party software become painful, however, if MS designs it correctly, new API features can be back ported to older versions of windows to provide current 3rd party software the ability to run on the last two or three versions....Depending on the API and implementation, MS might need to do some graceful downgrading of user experience in their API for the sake of the ISV development process if there was some sort of core OS feature that could not be updated with the APIs.
Uhh...Yes the file menu does take over the window and that is the best freaking feature I have ever seen. It turns file into a management console for your documents, making it easy to fine and use the stuff you want to access for document->world operations.
That is why the X-Box has been moving away from that for YEARS.....the X-Box 360 is pretty converged as an entertainment center device that also plays games. The next version will be even more so.
I installed a couple different Modem ROMs.... the last one I installed gave me the best wifi signal. Never had problems with cell signal.
I am not too comfortable installing a ROM for another phone... no matter how moderate the difference in hardware....I have Odin and the proper files to recover, but I hate it when I soft brick my phone.
I have had to use ICBINB builds of Gingerbread for my Samsung Galaxy S 4G because CM7 was not available for that phone.... please please please support it for CM9!

is that a joke?
Huge government investment in education in the 50's and 60's is what gave us the high achievement we experienced at that point in time.

I guess Pol Pot was a cool dude too?
I think you are confusing S. Korea with N. Korea.

If MS pushed hard on IE 9 then that will prevent the IE 6-ification of the web again.

Epic can't add employees fast enough. They are turning clients away and are first in KLASS in most of their applications.
Clarity I'd a total mess but the production DB is based on cache and is fast and reliable. There is no reason they should stop what they are doing.

GE does more than imaging... they are in EMR as well and those products blow.

too bad for their users.
why would it push business anywhere?

How does the nook touch beat the kindle touch in hardware? Seriously because I want to get an e-reader but want the best value.
