Hey guys, I could use a little help. I know Nick Paredes had a MAC (what the hell happened to him anyway?) and FAR too, but he’s not around either. I can’t seem to hook up my macbook to the printer- I’m guessing I need the cord to sync them, but I thought there was a way to do it without the cord. Needless to say, I can’t find the freaking thing so I have to try to get the piece of crap desktop going in order to print anything. Can anyone throw me a bone here?

TP – If the Mac and the printer are on the same network, then yes. Printer or Mac not on the network – You’ll need a cable. At least, that is what the IT gal here says. She also mentioned you might be able to print using bluetooth(?).

I asked Nick if he was experiencing cognitive dissonance regarding illegal immigration; specifically, whether a higher US population (most pop. growth in the US is due to immigration) will make the situation better or worse. JHK’s column mentioned illegal immigration as an issue that week. That was the last of Nick here. I feel guilty, as Nick wrote stuff worth reading, and now he’s gone. But not too guilty, kitchen, heat, and all that. I may also be wrong in assuming my little challenge was the reason he doesn’t post here. Maybe something else happened to cause him to not even say “guh bye”.

Hey Donovan, thanks for the feedback. I did find the cable, thank god (I’ve been looking on and off for six mos!). They are on the same network so I can’t understand why they won’t link up (I actually had someone much more proficient in computers try and it didn’t work for him either) and bluetooth is completely beyond me.

Can’t remember if your “piece of crap” desktop is also a Mac–I do remember your extensive rant on it either here or CFN a while back. If it is Mac, couldn’t you just switch the printer cord off of the system unit for that and plug it into the laptop?

Oops! Letters that cross in the mail…. congrats on your discovery.
Another thought: it sounds like there is some sort of software incompatability going on even though it’s on a network. I’m not on a network and only work on one DSL-linked desktop, and even with that very basic set-up, I experience regular incompatabilities when I have some graphics-heavy programs running.
The good news is that I have somehow bullet-proofed my system (totally inadvertently) which I test regularly for internet safety and as far as the net is concerned, I don’t exist.

“Whatever… Did I really rant about this before? Sorry.”
Extensively… but there’s no need for apology. It was quite amusing. And I thought I had remembered your dislike of the desktop stemmed partly from it’s running on a product produced by the Viscount of Vaporware, Bill Gates.
I’ve been running XP on my box for awhile and it has been very solid–I warned all my buddies not to get Vista, but they didn’t listen… tsk, tsk. One issue between Macs and PCs is filenames. PCs use extensions (like .gif, .jpeg, .doc, .txt, .PDF, etc.) and Macs don’t. There may be some sort of translation glitch if the printer has been configured for a PC and you’re trying to print from a Mac. (This may be what Bluetooth does–translates)
It may be as simple as getting the printer to recognize that there is another, different operating system in the network. I don’t know how Macs add new gizmos so this is just a guess.

Trying to force a mandatory interval of dumbed-down education on EVERYONE is worse than accepting that some people just aren’t particularly amenable to formal education. So why does mandatory service need to be effectively leveraged off the notion that all Americans need more education? Why not just come out and say that there’s going to be mandatory service for everyone, and that one way you can fulfill this obligation is by getting more education? I just see what’s being talked about now as something of a false pretense. As to the slippery slope, well… the thing could blow up into an expansion of welfare and nanny state, with 10 people standing around (or playing video games on the telephones) for every 1 or 2 who are actually doing the work (or learning something). It will require some serious management and perhaps draconian penalties for those who fail to live up to the letter or spirit of the service required. You know that the military hates draftees. There are good reasons for this. Better still, if sufficiently good incentives are put into place, quality people would actually compete for service assignments. Okay, I gotta run…

Well EE the desktop and the Toshiba laptop really do suck, but I will try not to bore you anymore. JR was supposed to help me out, but… well, let me know if you hear from him on that.
Bunn, again, I have no idea what Obama said so take this for what it’s worth.
I’m not sure how additional education can be bad except that we have to many “experts” in fields that don’t actually accomplish anything. Apologies to Doom and MOU, liberal arts and sciences are necessary but (hard)science and engineering degrees are imperative. And unfortunately, we don’t have enough nerds/geeks to satisfy our growing technological needs over the next 20+ years.
As far as service to your country goes, well, that’s been the story of our family for a long time. Only in our case, it’s all been voluntary. One incident annoyed me to no end… Regardless of what I think of the occupation of Iraq I have been living with the threat of deployment since it began. I was actually more angry when we became “peacekeepers” and my soon to be husband had to go to Bosnia.
So, when Rangel proposed a national draft, my bff’s mother vowed that she would send her (adult) son to Canada before she let him “go to war” in her words.
I really took offense to this. Why should my husband do your dirty work? Why should he be put at risk while you sit your fat ass in your sofa with your fat assed son, bemoaning the (democratic)process that led you there? Again, Iraq was not something I was supportive of but my point is that the somd people (families) seem to be bearing the brunt of war more than others.

I need to clarify my above post- some people/families bear the brunt of civic responsibility, “war” is one of those issues that people recognize as an undesirable thing and are glad someone else is doing the dirty work so they don’t have to.

If you’re looking to publish a paper, check out the incidence of socio-economic status of enlistees and PTSD in returning veterans. I’m not sure if that’s your venue per se but it’s important and should be explored. The gov’t can’t seem to get a handle on why there have been so many suicides. Maybe because they’re idiots or they’re just willfully ignorant.
My sis and I have discussed this in depth (she’s a psychologist, I am a veteran’s wife), so we have a perspective that is unexplored as part of a cohesive issue.
It’s crazy how they operate the mental health system. Since it’s become common knowledge that PTSD is a legitimate diagnosis the government has become even more reluctant to diagnosis soldiers with that because that would entitle them to benefits they really don’t want to pay.

Tipper, I don’t see any reason to delete your posts in question. They speak to some real problems. I think we should have a draft. That makes it equal, and if more people participate, more will be involved in seeking a stop to the warmongering. I believe in a strong defense, but the Bush doctrine of preemptive strikes and illegal occupation is just so much bullshit. It smacks of the worst of ancient Roman Empire expansion and control.
As to your friend, if she chooses to exile her son to a foreign country, well, that is her business. What if Canada participates? Keep moving?
A lot of what passes for education these days is a waste. I suspect that Obama is just looking for a way to keep young folks occupied and off the streets. We need capable scientists and engineers, but not armies of them. There’s a 50:50 chance that we may be going to a simpler, less complex society, globally, over the next 20+ years, so handy persons, farmers and field hands may be what’s needed.

Font size is relative. The import part to remember is the size relationships between heading title, the bodies of text, the text color and the background color.
The black text on the white background with the pale blues on the side make this quite easy to read.
When it comes to reading any text there is always the zoom button at the bottom of most browser windows.

My fault. I’ll start naming them. I actually liked the last one, I just want two columns instead of three.
The thing you gotta unnersand is that wordpress doesn’t allow changes in font size or type. It is hard to describe. Their html will make it change, but from a blogger’s standpoint, you get the font your template allows.

Tipper,
You have a good project there. I do PTSD stuff, childhood sexual abuse research was my doorway into the world of the soldier. It also sounds like something you could write up and get published yourselves (unless, that is, you are concerned about the reaction of your husband’s superiors).
Seriously. What ever is a bright blogging housewife to do with herself? I know a couple of the editors here, I have a little pull with them. We’ll talk, cut a deal.
Here is what I see, what you posted to me is not a bad start to some brain storming. I bet JR could give you a thread and you could develop it. Cite sources where possible, protect the innocent and some of the guilty. It doesn’t need to look professional, just think out loud to an audience. Build your case.
Being a Vet leads to Lower SES
Being a Vet leads to PTSD
Being a Vet leads to suicide
Show us. Go online, go to the library. Might even use personal stories from self and others, interviews you do and interviews you find online.
Gov. is not owning the diagnosis
Gov is not giving out services
Again, show us. And if you can’t show us, tell us why you suspect it.
Conclusion: Govt. is responsible for impoverished conditions of Vets, for withholding services, and for some of the suicides as a result of the untreated PTSD.
Additional thoughts: Untreated PTSD leads to poorer job prospects (impaired functioning on the job, severe isolation, underdeveloped social networks through which to locate jobs), which leads to poverty and contributes to suicide rates.
Hell, you have a doctoral dissertation here and we have only cracked it open a tiny bit.
