Voting Question: Can a 13 year old teenager get a Job?

A year or two ago on the news I saw something about a 8-12 year old boy working for TI (Texas Instruments). I was just curious if any companies would even consider hiring a 13 year old. I know a lot about computers even more than what my computer app teacher knows who has a degree in computer science. I've always been fascinated about computers and I know them very well. I just recently got done building my own computer which is working just fine. I can write program code and edit hexadecimals. Do you think there's anyway possible for someone to hire me even though I'm 13? I don't even care if they don't pay me or if they gave me like $5 an hour. more

Resolved Question: Do you know of a graphing calculator that would most likely be allowed in class other than the TI 84 Silver?

My daughter is taking one more math class in college, and all the syllabus says is to have a graphing calculator. Now in high school my other daughter HAD to buy the Texas Instrument 84 silver edition. Would you think that a college business class that said you needed a graphing calculator would require the same advanced ones, or do you think she could just buy a cheap Casio graphing calculator for 50 bucks instead of the TI 84 if they don't mention it in the syllabus and therefore save almost 100 dollars? Do you know of another brand that would sell a graphing calcultor that should work for a business class doing some linear equations that isn't as much as the TI 84 silver edition is? Otherwise would a TI 82 or 83 work since they seem cheaper on Amazon.com too.? {If you need more specifics to help figure it out: the course is called Quantitative Methods for Business covers: solving and graphing linear and functions and inequalities; writing mathematical models;solving systems of equations; linear regression; and an intro to linear programming. Tools used are calculators and computers.And then all it says is "A graphing calculator is required" Prereq: 2 years of high school algebra.} Thanks for any info so we can get this since we're having trouble reaching the professor!ASDSAFDF-THANKS FOR THE INFO!Derik, Tyder, Raystorm, Maui, THANK YOU! Sounds like the TI 83 is the way go then since I can still find them but they are a bit cheaper than the 84's! more

Voting Question: What do US citizens think about their own country being one of the worlds largest manufacturer of landmines?

I find myself perplexed at the issue of landmines still being used today. They are indiscriminate killers and remain dangerous decades after being deployed, and long after the wars have ended, still killing people to this day, many of which were not even born when the war was is progress. Each year in Vietnam to this day, as many as 1000 civilians are maimed or killed by US deployed mines or unexploded ordinance. Mines being the most common cause of death or dismemberment. Tragically, this is almost 40 years since the US left Vietnam. More alarming to me, is that the United States is credited as being the largest producer of land mines second only to Russia. http://www.colby.edu/par/Fall 98/LandMines.html From 1969 to 1992 the United States exported nearly four and a half million antipersonnel landmines to at least thirty-four different countries (including Afghanistan, Angola, Vietnam and Iraq). For these landmines America received on average one hundred twenty-five million dollars per year. Over forty-seven American companies manufacture APL, their components or delivery systems. Landmine production contracts in the late 1980s and early 1990s have earned companies upwards of three hundred thirty-six million dollars (Alliant technologies; 1985-95). While currently American corporations are adhering to the American moratorium on landmine production (America's stockpiles are full), the American defense industry is no doubt reluctant to lose such lucrative business relationships with the Pentagon and the foreign countries who also purchase these landmines. In the Television Documentary "The world according to Bush", it was quoted that former President George W. Bush is the largest individual shareholder in the US companies that produce landmines. They being... Raytheon, Honeywell, Rockwell, Texas Instruments and Lockeed-Martin. http://www.icbl.org/index.php 120 Countries sign a treaty to ban land mines - but not the US. The US remains the only western country not to sign the current treaty, and has refused to sign all previous invitations to do so. http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/mines/background-apercu/making-mines-fabrication.aspx?lang=eng The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) says 13 countries have not banned anti-personnel landmine production: Burma, China, Cuba, India, Iran, Nepal, North Korea, South Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Singapore, United States and Vietnam. Some of these countries have not actually made AP mines in recent years, but refuse to ban production officially. http://www.icbl.org/index.php/icbl/Library/News-Articles/Universal/us_shameful_lm_policy By refusing to join the Mine Ban Treaty, Obama shows disregard for international humanitarian law Last Tuesday, just before the Thanksgiving holiday, State Department spokesman Ian Kelly revealed that President Obama would follow in President George W. Bush's footsteps and not sign the international Mine Ban Treaty. Many of us had hoped he would embrace President Clinton's pledge that the U.S. would join. The United States produced a policy in 2004, but they are yet to commence following their own policy... http://www.state.gov/t/pm/wra/c11735.htm See also.... http://www.banminesusa.org/ US based campaign to have the US Government ban landmines. I have traveled South East Asia extensively and have met so many people, predominately young people in Vietnam and Cambodia missing arms and legs as a result of US landmines. I was in the South Vietnam town of Vung Tau in 2007 when the discovery was made. As workers were digging the ground for a new fence around a school, a US made anti tank mine was uncovered only 18 inches below the surface of the ground, and directly under a well worn path that children walked on daily. It was a tragedy waiting to happen. I learned also while in Vietnam, that volunteers from Australia, New Zealand, United Kindom and Thailand were working together for over 20 years to remove or detonate the unexploded ordinances and mines left behind by the United States, but it was only in very recent years that the US Government provided funding to do it. I turned to read some books and credible references to learn that the majority of landmines deployed by the US were dropped from aircraft and their locations are unknown, but the other allied countries that deployed land mines during that war, deployed them by hand and map the location of each one, thereby removing all of their mines within 2 years of the end of the Vietnam war. I visited a small town in Southern Vietnam near the Mekong River. Near the middle of the town, surrounded by housing was a piece of land measuring around 8 acres in size. Signs about the heavily grassed area warn to stay out. The block was a former US base. I was told that straying dogs and cows once or twice a year set off the unexploded ordinance left behind by the US. I was also told that to this day, no work has been done by the US to clear the more

Resolved Question: Good at trumpet, but lacking some smarts. Help?

So I have an extensive history of how I came to learn the trumpet, and its kinda confusing. I started in 4th grade in Connecticut, but basically they just handed me my instrument, let us take it home, and expected us to know how to play it by the very next day. I had no idea (obviously) and so I took it home one night and taught myself how to play it. I did great, but then in 7th grade I moved to Texas. Music education in CT and TX are different. In texas they start their kids off in 6th grade and actually teach them how to play, and all the note names, and concert pitches and sharps and flats and what not. But since I came in 7th grade, I missed all that, and basically had to wing it and try to concieve some of that information on my own through the years. I felt embarressed if I told my directors I had no idea some of the things they were saying and I didnt want to be pushed back into a begginning class or anything, so I just layed low and tried to teach myself. Both in CT and TX, I became one of the top trumpet players there even with my limited knowledge of reading music. I can play really well once Iv heard how the music is supposed to sound, but I'm not that great at sightreading. I still dont know how to read some rythms, and im terrible at counting music. I suppose there is still a lot of things I need to learn. Can anyone give me any advice as to what I should do? Any books or websites, or anything? Please help, because I'v been stuck with this problem for 6 years now (ever since I moved) and this kind of thing makes me nervous when/if I have to audition, or solo, or something, ya know? :/ more

Resolved Question: Scratch Off Game Strategies?

First, all lotteries are guaranteed money loser over the long run, medium run and even over reasonable short runs, that much is a given but it does appear that unlike the lucky number astrology stuff of the draw lotteries, there's some actual possibilities for strategizing with scratch off games so I was wondering what strategies would work best. Unlike the odds of a draw lottery, the odds of scratch off games change as tickets are sold. Lottery authorities often publish the number of tickets printed, the number of prizes in each category printed and the number of prizes in each category claimed to date on a daily basis, Texas does so in the form of a CSV file for download. They obviously don't have a way of collecting the number of sales to date as the tickets are bearer instruments and not sold through a computer terminal but a reasonable estimate of the number of tickets sold and hence the number of tickets remaining by using the total number of prizes claimed versus the total number of prizes printed as the ratio of tickets sold. This means that scratch off games can be timed, with tickets purchased when the odds are in your favor or at least less against you. But what do you decide upon, expectations? (That's when the probability of each prize level is multiplied with the value of the prize and then summed up over all the prizes and is a common Engineering technique for estimating returns on investments). The problem with expectations is that they require a lot of statistically independent chances before they average out if the probabilities are low hence you would literally have to play millions of dollars before the winnings play out as expected. Do you look for games with more prizes? more low value prizes? more high value prizes? underclaimed high value prizes? Probabilities of winning at least one prize of a certain value or higher? Using the ratio of prizes claimed to prizes printed to estimate the number of tickets sold would be able to detect if given prize categories had been under claimed or over claimed when compared to the mean and the higher value prizes would show the most dramatic variation in odds. For example, the "Super Set For Life" game in Texas is currently 89% sold based on the ratio of prizes claimed versus prizes printed but only 3 out the 4 top prizes have been claimed which equates to 75% of that prize category. Another interesting aspect of that game is that if you took the full value of the top prize which is $500,000 a year for 15 years or 7.5 million, then the expectations show a $1.01 return on $1.00 invested. Of course, the prize is actually an annuity probably worth only 63% of the total advertised value which equates with a $0.85 return on the dollar but this is much better then the original $0.68 on the dollar expectation when the game was first printed. This would seem to indicate that if you could corral all the remaining unsold tickets together and just buy them one at a time until you've won the big prize hopefully by about the half way point, you might make money. Of course, you would have to buy 724,059 tickets before being 95% certain of obtaining that last 7.5 million dollar top prize but you would have a 50/50 chance at 381,084 tickets which would be closer to the median of what you would have to buy. Of course, the top prize alone would not meet the 7.6 million dollar median that you would expect to require to obtain the top prize but together with all the smaller prizes, perhaps. Mind you, your scratching arm would be very very tired. On the Internet, there seems to be a lot of people espousing attempting to exploit manufacturing processes such as purchasing tickets at the end of the roll or changing rolls once a certain amount of prizes has been won. The former seems somewhat suspect since it's nothing for a computer to randomize the prize placement throughout a typical roll of 50 or 25 tickets at the point of printing but the latter is interesting since there is a guarantee of minimum prize amount per roll that's published to assure retailers they are not getting rolls completely devoid of prizes and it's likely that this would be achieved by evenly dividing low tiered prizes between the rolls and then randomizing their positions within the roll. Having said that, since I have scanned images of my winning tickets, I can see that my winning tickets have all been in the first quarter or the last quarter of a roll and none of them has been in the middle half but then I can hardly afford enough tickets to have a statistically relevant sample. Maybe if you have sufficient records to determine where in the roll your winning tickets were, you could email them to me so that we could get a reasonably relevant sample (I'd only be interested in Texas games for the time being). So what strategies do you think might marginally improve your odds of winning? Aside from not playing at all.Duh, I said these were astronomical odds and improving them marginally still leaves them astronomical. I just wanted to hear some strategies that people use. It's somewhat simple minded to just be saying that lotteries are bad odds, most gambling is and that's a given. more

Voting Question: George Bush, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Barrack Obama, Dick Cheney...?

These are your leaders. Do you not see it's the end when these are your options? GB: "There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk -- that's one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras -- it got drunk and now it's got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments." --George W. Bush, speaking at a private fundraiser, Houston, Texas, July 18, 2008. HC: "I have never understood multiparty democracy. It is hard enough with two parties to come to any resolution, and I say this very respectfully, because I feel the same way about our own democracy, which has been around a lot longer than European democracy." Speaking to EU leaders. SP: "Let me go back to a comfortable analogy for me – sports… basketball. I use it because you’re naïve if you don’t see the national full-court press picking away right now: A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket… and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can win. And I’m doing that – keeping our eye on the ball that represents sound priorities – smaller government, energy independence, national security, freedom! And I know when it’s time to pass the ball – for victory." Farewell speech as Alaskan Governor. BO: "Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions." - While addressing the Chinese on national television. DC: "We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." Speaking of Saddam Hussein --March 16, 2003 Why do Americans fight for either side? Why is there no major push to throw them all out? Do you really think any of these people have what it takes to fix America's problems? more
