That's a really difficult question. I thought about it for a while, but I don't think I have any answers that would qualify (given the requirement to be "realistic"). It is super important to keep in mind, though, when t

You’re wrong, of course, but not entirely. I’m a teacher at an urban Title I school (over 70% of our students qualify for reduced or free school lunches). Yes, there is a lot of paperwork involved when you need to transfer student to altern

What will be interesting to see is whether the idea of a Lisp Machine comes back as ASICS become more popular. Will hole machines be designed to optimize performance with a DSL created for some particular domain? In other words, architectur

So, I think the bigger issue is that those things may not serve as an independent basis for liability. But (B) then says that those things may be considered as evidence if they’re otherwise admissible (under the Federal Rules). In other w

The Coast Guard is part of the Department of Homeland Security, and CGIS agents can liaise with DHS on federal investigations. Probably a matter of convenience. Hey, Agent Joe, you’re up there near Cohasset, they need an extra pair of hands
