  Yeah, we'll try again. I'm thinking a lunch this time. Maybe a sunday or saturday afternoon thing then we can all go and picket something or play some snow balls or sledding or something. (actually, sledding would be terrifically fun)

  I'll pick another date and time and start another thread. :)

  A Rant About the Abuse of N-Tier Architecture

  when you sit down to write a program, there are tons of different ways you can go about it.

  the "best" way doesn't exist.

  sometimes it's driven by how many people will be using the program, or how quickly it has to be written, or how much money is supposed to be spent writing it.. but sometimes none of that comes into play because of the standards established by the company you're working for.

  Reinstatement process -- how'd it go?

  i've never been df'ed and reinstated, but i'm curious about how this process went for you.

  did it seem very arbitrary?

  were there very perverse or explict questions asked?

Did it seem very one-sided (that is, you had to give information, but when you asked anything, it was very tight lipped)? Was there much scriptural basis for anything said or done given? Was it generally worse than the DF'ing itself? thanks.

  this was in the ms about two years ago:.

  the camels are the typical representation of the magazines, that carry the good news around the world.. hb (of the "heave and barf"class)

  How about, an obvious anachronism that points to a later date of writing for Genesis? :)

  i was thinking today about my business.

  i've been working in the field of educational therapy for the past 4 years, helping children and adults with learning challenges.

  in the past year, i started working with infants as well, supporting their first year motor development.

  Yes, i think we need to distinguish between helping people and feeling responsible for people.

  How can a non-profit give out loans with interest?

  by ackack in

  2. scandals

  i was wondering how the wtbts can maintain their non-profit status when they are charging interest on loans?

  doesn't this contravene their non-profit charter?.

  i have no idea how this stuff works, but i was hoping someone who knows more about this could answer.. ackack
