I didn't see what you're saying in the previous post, but assuming it was in there and I missed it
Now why do you think you should get 2 votes anytime your wife doesn't care to leave the house?
If individuals believe that someone else can represent their interests better than they can, why shouldn't they be able to assign their vote to a proxy (provided that they do it explicitly and not by default or under pressure). That's the basis of the whole electoral college system, anyways.
The whole notion of voter turnout supports this. Why should someone who can't get out of work on election day be disenfranchised?
Similarly, why does a candidate win 100% of a state's electoral votes, even if he only got 51% of the popular vote there?
As an experiement, I'd like to see one senator from every state get elected by a process other than popular vote.
Lets say, jury trial. If it's good enough for mass murders, it's good enough for our political leaders.
Just get a random sample of 100 people have them listen to a detailed analysis of the issues, debates from the candidates (a candidate being the top 5 people in terms of approval rating in a public survey or somthing other than that. I'm not sure )...and see what kind of results that produces.
It would at least get some folks not motivated entirely by major corporations... maybe.
Nice try. You have a right to political speech. Your wife has a right to political speech. However, when you start to collectively exert that influence, special restriction may have to come into force so that the collective power of your combined speech, along with the individual speech you can still both engage in, does not overwhelm that of other, opposed, individuals who do not collectively pool their resources.
What do you base that on? That makes no sense?
You're effectivly saying an individual loses rights when they join an organization.
I agree, and its a serious consideration when I vote, how much money a particular candidate has taken.
Of course, if you have money and you want political power, I think you're going to find a way to make the exchange, one way or another.
Thus all the 527 organizations in response to McCain Feingold, which are not technically affiliated with various campaigns... yet still work to conveniently attack a polititian's opponent.
If you can find a way to solve this problem without resorting to redistribution of wealth as a way of evening out the power structure, you're a wiser man than I.
Yeah, I've avoided dealing with SCORM for a lot longer than I should have. I understand the concept, but I've never actually applied it.
I'm just using Moodle. For things that Moodle can't handle, we're going to take the easy way out and just pop some Moodle animations and other graphics into trainersoft.
It pops pages onto a server and we compile those pages into a database.
I don't know why they don't just have it go into a database automatically. *shrugs* But it's otherwise some good courseware and considering this company will probably change things around later, it's for the best.
We use it for automatic grading and timing of tests, for example.
It eliminates the need to copy everything into a database, we can get statistics on how often particular questions are answered correctly and it's paperless.
If I could add, I think it would be more effective if people chose to moderate a particular type of story. So Science majors (or people with high karma, etc. for Science stories) would look over the science stories, etc.
No, that's not it at all. She uses a lot of words and phrases that guys usually use. like "competitive" "jump" "tough"(several times) "It's rather imperative that young women" (objectification) "I can only attribute my own success"
"there truly is a battle of the sexes in IT" (objectification)
"my own dumb ass"
"I've gone from a flunky consultant bossing around lunkheads in business school to a sr. systems engineer doing huge infrastructure implementations and upgrades, project management, and policy design & implementation."
(Discussing power relationships in this manner.)
All of these things are things I would expect more in a guy's writing. Are you seriously telling me that you can't usually guess the sex of an adult writing a passage based on how the passage is written?
Are you sure it's a matter of ability and not interest?
Boys and girls are certainly interested in different things (and guys tend to be more obsessive about solving non-social problems, I think). That's not the same as capacity.
Ya know, I've heard time and again that Loki was a trikster God. But wasn't he more about trechery really? Turning sides and stuff? I mean, he's not the comic relief that Native American trickster gods were. Or is there something in the lesser or greater eddas that contradicts this? I don't claim to be an expert on Norse mythology.
The notion of more memory not being helpful is somthing I have difficulty grappling with.
And I tend to open several applications at once.
I was just wondering if there was some functional problem... such as "having memory of X capacity and processing power of Y capacity means that it would be faster to page" or somthing like that (not exactly that, but you get the idea), some physical difficulty which prevents the resource from being used.
Oh. Thanks. As someone who did video editing and 3D design, that didn't make much sense to me. Thought there might have been a problem with the hardware or somthing.
Slashdot Mirror
It's probably one of the least corrupt countries in Central America
Which is like being the least dead person in the cemetary.
Of course, I haven't been there in about 7-8 years so maybe things have changed.
Awsome vacation place, though, VoIP or no.
on ballots.
Depends on how they touch them.
Depends on what's on them.

Yeah, but you guys are, like, sane and shit.
In the US, politics is all about seeing what you can get away with.
Do all Americans have a Lawyer on call 24/7 ?
No, but we all need one.
And how can a Supreme Court rule it unconstitutional if noone brings the case to it.

What if it was a "values" monkey?

Hm? I'm neither a video, nor a professor.
Discuss.
Impressive.

Have you ever checked out Moodle?
Your experience using it or making it?
We use it for automatic grading and timing of tests, for example.

I didn't think Katz could program.

Isnt the International standards organization located in France?
This is just a runner up to 'freedom fries.'
This is a stupid question , but are you seriously a 100% hetero girl? Because your writing style resembles a guy's.
I don't know why.
You don't have to go into a career in IT to have a career using IT.
I make e-learning. It's a great field. The field of training is mostly women, ironically.
Are you sure it's a matter of ability and not interest?
Boys and girls are certainly interested in different things (and guys tend to be more obsessive about solving non-social problems, I think). That's not the same as capacity.
This would be smart for Microsoft if they were afraid of getting sued. If you accepted the money, it would legally constitute a settlement.
I wonder if Microsoft is afraid of somthing?
5 dollars just seems an odd price to offer. I can't imagine that it'd be worth that much to even apply for the money.

Well, I do video editing and 3D design.
