.that I could see something or notice something that a parent does not on rare occasions? Yes, that chance is there. However, like Tex pointed out, how you address it to the parents makes a big difference. And how you address it to "innocent" bystanders (like the rest of us here) makes the difference
His computer seems to squeal whenever the hard drive is seeking...does that make sense? Oh, yeah. It makes lots of sense. It sounds like one of the read heads on the hard drive is rubbing against the platter. Which is a recipe for a dead hard drive, quickly. Does it sometimes have problems starting
Chaos Manager - It comes from two different aspects of my personality 1) I have the capability to logically follow a particular chain of events and parse the cause -> effect. It's what allows me to be an effective programmer. I can take just about any process and break it down into the discrete steps and details necessary to implement in a program. 2) Managing Chaos is an oxymoron and I'm fully of them. <img src="../images/smiles/sm
I beg to differ, that's not what Gil Grissom and Sara Sidal tough me everytime I saw CSI. Hehe. Touche!
DRDOS 6 kicked MS ass! Every which way from sunday! I didn't usually run MS-DOS ... can't remember what shell I used, but it was sweet. A lot of what we take for granted now (scripting, aliases, variant boot files, commandline completion, command history) were there... now, why can't I remember it?<BR
Do you know what LANMAN was? Ooooh. Novell was your friend, wasn't it? Do you know NetBios? Hmmmm.... *shudder* <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95
They played with the boxes longer than the toys that came in them sometimes. We would wrap several empty boxes up in paper for each of the kids on their first Christmas. They were the biggest hits of the day. On topic - our cat is a
maybe she should cast a love spell on the heartless freaks. Considering the Board of Supervisors in question ... I'm not sure they've got hearts. So, I doubt that would work. <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-Text
You mean I should retire as well? That's what I use to program in. Hey, Doc? Did you program in Octal or Binary on those toggle swithes? *ducks*
I dont know many other professions that work 10 hour days, unpaid and whose people spend a certain amount of their off time also preparing and researching for the job. Hmmm... I think I can say with a completely straight face .... I know of one. It's the Stay At Home Mom/Dad. 24 hour days, pre
And no one even commented on my title! Name that tune! --Dr. Guy Hmmm.... *Chaos reaches into the cobwebs that currently make up his brain* Hmmm ... Wouldn't be "The Age of Aquarius", would it? Don't remember who it was by and too lazy to Google it right now.
Chaos...does your childs school know about this? If so, how did they find out? Just asking out of curiosity, not to start anything. Hold on. Lemme check. Yes, my wife is aware of our son's condition. And she found out the same way I did. We were concerned that he appeared to be a little ... off, for want
JU is its own sort of "family." As in any family, it takes all kinds. You have the cousin who drives you up the wall with his incessent complaining, the uncle that should really be committed, the sweet "father" that everyone loves (sorry - couldn't resist, doc *grins*), the drama queen sister... whatever. But without them all, wo
Oops! Color me dyslexic? Sorry. So, what color IS dyslexic? Green? Orange? Muave? Oh, maybe it's chartruese!
Eh, Doc ... Channel 12's already taken it down.
then what you will see is more teachers teaching to the test Uhm. Hate to break the news to you, Ziggy. There are already a lot of teachers that do this. And with the advent of the SOL (Standards Of Learning) in Virginia, a larger number of teachers are doing this, too. Forcing teachers to
.but if you look into Aspergers...youll find (if you READ about it) that its not always easy to detect...its a combination of a bunch of things and the student may seem normal...just a little different. Thats what I said about him...that something was a little off, not quite right. Hmmm... this is maki
Hey, Ziggy. I've got a question. I'll let you have my 7 year old. He's been diagnosed (and is undergoing treatment) for Asperger's Syndrome. He fits the mold of "a little off". Then again, so do I. Do I have Asperger's? No. Do I need an IEP? No. Do I need some armchair psychologist diagnosing me w/ the world's ills? Hell no. And that's what a lot of teachers do. To be fair, teachers have a lot of that shoved down their throats (mandatory r
Mark Warner. he really has no baggage, and I doubt he is a idealogue (so he wont get the nod). He is just a run of the mill typical sleeze bag. Since I refuse to sink to the level of a food fight (*tosses a rotten tomato at Dr. Guy*), I think Warner would be a possible VP candidate. Not known too much out
In the past couple of years, one of the local Wiccan priestesses has gotten her panties twisted in a knot because the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors (County south of Richmond, VA) wouldn't let her open their sessions in prayer. Instead, they returned to some of the local ministers to fulfill that duty. So, she did what any redblooded American would do. She sued them. The Federal judge in Richmond sided with her. However, our buddies on the 4th Circuit
its surprising that the teacher profession is the only one in which you are allowed to make believe you are able to do yourself without any formal background, training or experience, and do it at your home. I tried that with being a doctor...you know..."hey...lookie me, Im a doctor" but that didnt work out so well. I was thinking if they would let me be a nuclear scientist
Having worked in special ed classes, I have to say that you've provided a pretty fair assessment of the status quo. The classes I worked in weren't even taught by a certified teacher. The woman over it was not bright, had no training save for a workshop here and there, and had no natural teaching ability. She had no clue how to h
Let me ask this question. If it were proven to you that banning abortion would actually increase the number of abortions in this country would you still want to ban it? See, here's the thing about abortion. I personally, am pro-life/anti-abortion in my personal beliefs. However, politically, I am
A programmer! One of those! ooogey.... Yep. I'm one of those sick, twisted geeks that makes everyone else's life miserable ... Speaking of which ... gotta go. Brother's here for his tutoring ... he's required to learn a progr
who the hell authorized more than 7 judges dammit? Eh, it's a Friday. Who said I was supposed to be able count past 7 on a Friday? 'Sides, I'm a programmer. I can't count past 1, anyways.
