Sound like that's because you should be able to graduate to a higher level software develpment role by then.

John Holt and Daniel Greenberg have written about it for about 40 years. The school directory in the article is just not informed on the area, here an example peer-reviewed academic journal article: "Teaching Justice through Experience.

Unschooling is much more closely related to free schooling or democratic schooling as has been practiced successfully since the 1920s at places like Summerhill School. These students are sought after by colleges because they are articulate, self-motivated learners. It is actually much like college because students choose what to learn about (often through classes or workshops), rather than the high school model of everyone taking the same state-required classes. I would bet nearly all Slashdotters learned to code this way.

The biggest drawback to unschooling is that it pretty much requires one parent to stay home (or both to work part time). On the other hand, in areas where the public schools are underfunded, private schools can eat up all the income from a second job anyway.

John Gottman. He does actual research on what works: http://www.kuow.org/program.php?id=17294

You don't understand what Sharepoint is, do you? We rolled out MOSS Sharepoint and used it for a few months. Even Windows users preferred email because the interface made it so painful to find things. Sharepoint does not have any of the functionality you list, either. There is an add-on that includes access control, but guess what? Client machines much be logged into the same domain (or have a a trust set up). In other words, Sharepoint has no access control functionality that can be used any differently than a Windows Server fileshare! It also stores documents in a database, and as you get a lot of documents (say, 1000) performance degrades. Maybe Mediawiki is a bad comparison since it has a completely different feature set, but any business would be better served with an actual document management system like Alfresco. (People also seem obsessed with Sharepoint's "blogs" which have much less functionality than Wordpress.)

You could move closer to work and walk. Ideally your workplace is also nearby grocery stores, library, etc. and you can walk there too. It's a little exercise and definitely increases quality of life. If it's in a major city there are often a lot of apartment choices downtown with various amenities like weight room or pool if you're into that.

Nice, but MapJack only has a couple dozen places, mostly in the Bay Area. Google is talking about worldwide.

In the case of a large bank they really should have things configured properly. However, I've also see this in cases of a certs for things like www.some-small-online-business.com and I really wish Firefox would offer to redirect you to the proper domain for the cert.

Summary is wrong. Massachusetts District Court cannot set binding precedents, which are "findings of law made by a higher court" such as Appeals or Supreme Court that must be honored by a lower court. The lowest court on the hierarchy cannot set a precedent even if this had gone to court!

This seems like a case of "pay off the annoying buzz" rather than anything important in a legal sense. (IANAL, etc., etc.)

Guess what? This whole "race" thing dominates the lives of a large percentage of American citizens. Only privileged whites feel like it's not a big deal. This is a monumental occasion for the United States, and for the world. Before today, every single US President has been a white male, and the vast majority from the upper class. Obama's parents' interracial marriage would have been illegal in Virginia (and in 15 other states), and less than 60 years ago blacks were not even allowed in many restaurants.

Barack Obama was raised largely by his white maternal family, but they continually held up black role models and taught him that his race was a positive trait. His grandfather had black friends, he read black authors and listened to music from Harlem. Obama has been immersed in the African-American community since college and seen first hand what racist institutional practices like redlining did in Chicago. He is our first African-American President, and not just on a technicality.

The most inspiring aspect of Obama's campaign and hopefully Presidency is that he is bringing all races and creeds together, which you may remember is the central theme of Dr. King's 1963 speech: "I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. . . in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."

Hmm, must be an older condo. All the new ones I've seen come wired.

Well, I'm afraid that my suggestions involve spending money or time, but maybe you don't mind. You might also consider whether you might be getting other interference (microwave running, 2.4Ghz phones, etc).

First, you could buy a different WAP. 5.4Ghz is an option, or one that transmits at higher power. Cisco Aironet comes to mind--they've got better radios and transit at 100mw instead of the Linksys 80mw. That's professional level equipment.

However, that solution moves the problem to someone else or puts you at the mercy of the next guy doing the same thing. Do you have a condo association? You could organize a co-op or partner with a company like Meraki that does this sort of thing for a living. In the long run that will save all residents hassle and, if you get enough buy-in, money.
