At that point, it becomes more of a parenting issue than a gun control issue.
I don't have guns in my house, but I still taught my kids basic gun safety using water pistols. They know not to point at anything they don't intend to shoot, and to always treat a gun as if it were loaded and ready for firing.
In the words of Dr. Seuss..."it's fun to have fun, but you have to know how."
This right here is what needs to stop: just because you're a plumber, or a carpenter, or an electrician, doesn't mean you're dumb. Likewise, going to college doesn't mean you're smart
I'm not sure where anyone got the idea that I said tradespeople were dumb. I did not mean that at all. My father, who is one of the smartest people I know, is a retired machinist and a high school dropout.
We need to get back to the idea that learning blue collar work is just as socially acceptable as white collar.
I agree wholeheartedly, and THIS is what I thought I had said.
As much as we need competent programmers, DBAs, network administrators, etc., we also need plumbers, carpenters and electricians. Not everyone has the talent or desire for college, and I think we as a society ought to recognize that. Of course, that means less income for colleges and bankers providing student loans, so I'm not surprised that this is being billed as a radical idea.
I agree that this is the best approach. It sounds like the problem is mostly organizational, and the document management system is only making things more complicated.
The polling place was moved across the street, from a local church to the Public Safety building (combined police and fire station).
I was directed to the correct line for my precinct (there were two), got my ballot on two large Scantron sheets, which I had to fill out both sides (lots of issues to vote on.)
It took about half an hour at 8 AM. My wife just voted, and the line was shorter in late afternoon.
You and I must have gone to the same high school. I remember cutting my teeth on a PDP 11/70. I also remember writing a Minesweeper game as a senior project, mostly because by that time I had gone through all the programming classes the school offered.
I also remember there were some college recruiters who looked at my source code and told me their school couldn't teach me any more than what I was already doing.
I think I see the problem. It looks like you're expecting rational, productive debate. I'm afraid that isn't possible in the United States any more. There's not much money in that.
Name-calling and other juvenile invective ensures more partisans stay tuned, which means the networks' ad rates go up.
You can do that...where you are, and where you can drive to the supermarket.
Try going to a neighborhood where there is a lot of subsidized housing, and try finding your raw ingredients anywhere you can walk to. Most supermarket chains have left impoverished areas, and the only place to get groceries are places like Dollar General or convenience stores. The selection of fruits and vegetables there is lacking, to put it mildly.
I recall reading the original short story in middle school. It was in one of those "Weekly Reader" type magazines that apparently aren't around any more. Then again, I grew up in suburban Chicago, which is definitely different from the South.
As a sixth grader, I found the story interesting. When I read the novel as an adult, I was rather less impressed. I think that Card is much better with short stories than with novels.
Why wouldn't you just set up a client rule to mark the message as read and automatically delete it? That way, there's no potential of backscatter and you're not bothered by spam or unwanted forwarding. As I understand it, most mail clients are able to automate this process.
This may not work for your particular application, and if this is the case you are free to disregard.
I'm afraid that won't stop the problem Google is trying to address, which is cheap crap running "Android."
Users won't care about "Free" or "Approved" versions...if they even read far enough to notice. They'll see that the cheap crappy device they're looking at runs "Android" poorly, and therefore think "Android must be crap, so I'll get an iPhone/iPad instead."
does the RIAA seriously expect me to sift through 60 GB of music, remember which are pirated, and delete them by hand
Of course they don't expect you to sift and delete. They expect you to PAY UP!
Let's see....60 GB of music rounds to a fee of about $1.5 million, give or take. Of course, this is according to the RIAA, so your millage may vary. Just think of the poor starving record executives!

I down modded every ROT-13'd reply I could!
You're welcome.
You'd think they would have ROT-13'd the headlines as well!
But no, /. half-asses it again.

What brand of crack are you smoking?
In Korea, only old people post lists of memes.
In Soviet Russia, memes list YOU!
So what's the price for the contents of my wallet file?
The real reason, I reckon, is that the US is internally antagonistic. *Everyone is screwing each other over.*
FTFY...and I was born and raised in the US.
But was that due to better tracking, a strong willingness on the part of the current Administration to stop fraud, or blind dumb luck?
Yes.
