It depends on the group certifying you. The two that I know are common in my area (Chicago) are Red Cross and Ellis and Associates (EA). I worked for a group that did EA, thus why most of the lifeguards I know are trained not to touch victi

Most lifeguards that I know are trained not to jump in after a drowning victim EVER unless they have a strong floatation device--the lifeguard tube. Supposedly most of the larger ones should be able to support 5 people. Drowning victims are

Yes, something most people don't know about drowning is that it is typically defined as the point at which breathing is interrupted and the person is mostly motionless, usually perpendicular to the surface of the water. Sometimes befor

Far too many kids don't take the job seriously, and I wouldn't call it their fault. Their employer needs to keep them well trained. Unfortunately this is not nearly as common as it should be.

My electrical engineering professors were constantly trying to ingrain in us the tendency to estimate the solutions to problems long before solving them. Why? because if you know the ball park solution you'll be able to catch gross err

Of course this thing is supposed to be connected to your phone, so do you really need all of those sensors on glass? How much does pressure vary between your face and your pocket? (I honestly don't know, feel free to tell me if you do). Ori

As did most of my EE brethren in school in 2009. Trust me, writing code in pen does not a master programmer necessarily make.

Assuming you write code, how do you feel about the key remapping? I have seen people complain about the location of brackets and other keys; which is enough to keep me away.

This also kills me on gaming consoles. I have 80Kb/s internet... your device does not need several hundred MB updates.

Supposedly the one in Homewood, not the origional location, but the origional town and ovens is still good. I enjoy it at least, but I grew up on it.

To the author: Small spelling mistake on the Regex Cheat Sheet: the sub title of the anchors group is currently "anchros". Looks cool! will have to use at some point.

Why do you say that?

And if you read more than the title, you would know that he was actually talking about barrier to entry.

I have attempted the pretty much the same thing. I would sleep at 9, get up at 5. I would probably like earlier, if not for my fiance's schedule and my 1+ hour commute. If your work/family/social schedules will allow it, I would highly reco

App stores, yes, but how difficult/expensive is it to get your code onto the console?

I suspect a marked increase in cheating will be the fallout, rather than a huge increase in clueless students.

Is this a major problem with Google now? I know this is completely subjective, but my friends and I have talked about this a couple times, and we feel that Google used to be significantly more useful 5-7 years ago. Has SEO done that much da

What kind of hardware(put parts on a pcb, design analog ICs, design digital ICs, something else?), and what do you know already?

I'm not so sure. I could see delivery robots in a decade.

I didn't pay for my education. I am very thankful for that. I wasn't judging, I promise, only observing :).

What do you mean by "...has a M, a V, and a C."?

by gmrple 14y ago
Only downside I could possibly see is someone taking their education more lightly because they don't have to pay for it.

But is it the bank's responsibility to enforce the contract? I would rather have a civil court be the recourse for a broken contract than for a third non-governmental party to handle it. I suppose if it was written into the contract that th
