Just out of curiosity, how do you make those changes without having a veto-proof majority in the Senate? Yes, some of this could have been handled via executive orders, and Obama deserves shit for that.
But, the fact of the matter, is that Obama couldn't just open the doors of GITMO, and anything else would require congressional approval, something which the GOP has refused to permit.
And this is a common use of wifi? That's sort of the point, few people out there are saturating even a 150mbps connection at the present, giving 1gbps over wifi makes no sense at the present and just means that when we get closer to the point where it does makes sense, the spectrum will be filled up with all these devices that were made with earlier technology.
And yes, if we never move forward, it took the ISPs in Seattle a decade to move beyond 4mbps connections and in some parts of the city, they still had 1.5mbps max up until recently. The rate at which the country is moving forward on this, we could be talking about 20 years before connections like that are common.
Yeah, but the only thing that really matters at that point, is that it makes it that many more nukes that can potentially get lost. The US and the USSR towards the end of the '80s had so many nukes that they could have unilaterally dismantled most of them and still had enough in reserves to blast the other one into oblivion if they needed to.
This would help the not enough channels out a bit, because 5ghz signals don't penetrate as well as 2.4ghz signals do. But, really, what needs to happen is the WAP manufacturers need to offer lower powered gear for apartment dwellers and others in urban environments.
And in most cases that's too far. I really wish that WAP manufacturers would develop lower powered equipment that would be useful in apartment buildings. Because 1gbps or even 150mbps isn't particularly useful if it's being split 4 or 5 ways because they're overlapping.
Why do we need this? They're saying that it can get 1gbps in speeds, but the distance is going to be crap and that's still substantially faster than typical connections in the US. On the odd case where you're wanting to move data that quickly, you'd probably not mind connecting up a cable anyways.
I've tried taken several of them, but the lack of predictability in the scheduling of the terms and the technical problems have meant that I haven't been able to do much of anything with the classes. And because they're free, the IT isn't there to make sure that most of the class is able to participate. I remember that first try where the webpage with the questions wouldn't even load properly.
I'm going to try again in March, but the system isn't really as well run as it could be, and I'd pay them some money if it were more reliable.
That's probably not true. I'm not aware of any college where that's the case outside of that first year, once you get into your major, the classes are more normal sized.
And that's assuming you chose to go to a large state school, I went to a small state school and when there'd be 75 students in a class, I would have 3 professors. I never had to deal with any of those massive lecture halls and TA quiz sections.
Historically people like you would be allowed to flunk out of college so that the seats would be available for people who valued education.
The sort of specialization that we've seen in recent decades is a really big problem. Few problems of any size in the world are truly solvable with only one area of specialty. Economics, pollution, humanitarian crises, health care and such require that one be capable of working across specialties with people who have studied other things.
Those subjects you're complaining about are what makes it possible for people to do that. What's more, very few people these days will spend an entire career in one field and the more subjects you've been exposed to the more likely that you'll be able to adapt.
But, lastly and possibly most importantly, studying and thinking in different ways is good for your brain.
Most schools I've been to that require those calculators, have some for loan or rent. The college my mother works at rents them out for about $10 a term. Which for most students is cheaper than buying their own. It's not until you get past calculus that they'll usually let you use a TI-89.
Because a calculator won't tell you if you've gotten the wrong answer or give you a way of verifying that the answer is correct?
Yes, it will give you an answer, but without knowing how it got the answer, you have no way of knowing if the answer makes sense. If you do it out by hand, you can trace the steps and see if there was a mistake at some point and correct it if applicable.
Which you can do with a graphing calculator as well. You just don't have access to the internet. In some cases you can upload flash cards to them though.
That's mostly my feeling on that. But, a color screen allows the calculator to be more insightful when complaining about format errors, it has an easier time of highlighting things.
And if you're wanting to graph multiple lines at the same time, that's a bit easier to read as well. But, I think the higher resolution on the newer displays, along with the better refresh rate are far more useful than the color aspect. But, once you switch to using a modern LCD, there's little reason to stick with monochrome, and they're probably actually cheaper than using a monochrome one of that size and resolution.
Sigh, this sort of arrogance is why these scams will continue into the future.
So, what you're saying, is that as long as somebody only cheats a little, that's OK for them to be undetectable. Nice to know that. And no, I won't be playing cards with somebody who has such a low set of ethics.
The fact of the matter is that there are scams like the one I mentioned that happen from time to time where somebody has access to information that they shouldn't have. And are ultimately only caught when they try to push things too far. You don't have to win a huge number of games to make a nice living cheating, you just need to make a few hundred a week.
Conservatives don't value freedom. During the Bush administration, we lost a ton of freedom, especially during the period where the GOP controlled everything. The only thing that temporarily arrested the slide was that Bush managed to piss off SCOTUS enough that they started to say no.
Conservatives value certain freedoms like the 2nd amendment, but are pretty hostile towards the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 14th amendments.
Yes, they're probably both caused by the same thing, but there's probably not a direct connection between the two. I'm not at all surprised by the South dominating the bottom five spots. The conservative hands off policies on regulation and unmotivated union busting tend not to correlate very well with quality of life.
Because if you have to drive into a physical location to put money in your account or remove it from your account it's no longer interstate commerce. IIRC the problem with internet gambling was the money being transferred to and from your account.
I need cards if I'm going to play. I just don't trust the computer to be honest. I don't have any way of knowing if there's a scam going on where some of the other players are privy to my hand. With real cards, I have at least some awareness of what's going on. With electronic cards, I have no way of knowing if I'm just having a bad day or being cheated.
I'm familiar with the scientific term theory. I'm also familiar with the more commonly used word with similar meaning.
I'm not surprised that on a site like slashdot the GGP poster could post that sort of uninformed dribble and get rewarded for it. Whether or not reincarnation is real has never been a particularly important facet of Buddhism nor of any of the other reincarnation related religions. The whole point of them is to not be reincarnated. If that's because reincarnation doesn't exist, then mission accomplished.
The point is, that rather than mouthing off like a jackass about things you know nothing about, perhaps listening to the guy that's trying to explain what the idea is before slashing it to pieces would be appropriate.
The reality here is that reincarnation does not have to be real for Buddhism and Hinduism to make a person's life better. Furthermore, if ones life isn't getting better, by ones standards, then one should choose a new religion and try again. Karma and reincarnation are just masking that's done to help the mind create proper thoughts, they do not have to be real in order to exert influence on ones life. Only behavior, thought and intention are what matters.
This post shows a distinct lack of knowledge about the subject.
Whether or not reincarnation is real, the idea is that people get reincarnated as people and any sort of living creature that exists. So, there's no need to be enough humans at any given time for the idea to hold, as long as there are enough living things. What's more it's been accepted theory for many centuries that only a very small fraction ones incarnations are as humans, most of the time it's as things like ants and spiders.
Or, that's the theory anyways, reincarnation is really more of a framework than a thing. It's not intended to be the driving force for ones life, just a framework for understanding how to live life in the context of the greater picture. You don't burn down the world because previous generations didn't and you have an obligation to future generations as well.
And how many are there in those other PDF viewers? That's sort of the point, just because one software package is fixing vulnerabilities with that frequency, does not mean that the alternatives are more secure. It just means that there are more vulnerabilities being patched in the first case than in the second case.
I always love when people post this sort of nonsense. Good luck getting a job teaching if you can't do it first, sure it does happen, but portraying that as the status quo is just ignorance.
Teachers not only have to be able to do whatever it is, but they also have to be able to teach other people how to do it. The references I see in this thread are pretty much indicative of, we don't actually want to do it correctly, so we'll disparage the folks trying to make our lives easier by forcing the development of good habits. You see that in pretty much any specialty.
Interesting, where I live and work it's more or less the opposite. I take it the transit outfit where you live doesn't use grade separation for mass transit.
