Thank you for the replies. The commentator, 'A', said it succinctly; A symbol to show that Deaf people are human beings first and foremost. I like the idea of using a handshape such as the ILY. Another example would be to emphasize the visual component, i.e., an eye, in a symbol? Or a symbol to...

Check out this blog entry, made in response to a Ridor9th video. Universal Symbol for Deaf People? Please feel free to comment here or on the blog.

Right now, I'm not sure. I know that there are no VRS services for those cell phones (EVO/iPhone 4) YET... The keyword is 'yet'; I'm sure engineers at those companies are working at it. IMO, a cell phone with needs to be on a 4G network with a front-facing camera and a kickstand for it to be...

Check out this link; A New VRS Paradigm? What do you peeps think? Will a lot of Deafies 'pull the plug' on Sorenson VRS in favor of cell phones that do video calls?

Loved the film. Truly shows the transformative nature of Gallaudet. On technical merits, the film is superbly done.

Nice to put a face to that name, Miss Delectable! See you somehwere in Vegas this summer.

Just fell in love. Gadget lust at its finest. Now, if only my area will get 4G... I'll wait and see if Deaf users have this phone and start posting their reviews... I want to know how well Video calls will work on this thing for ASL users.

We call them 'cluster' programs; where there are specific schools that have a cluster of D/HH students, either in self-contained classes or mainstreamed to some extent with accommodations, or a mixture of both. The same rationale still applies; are the D/HH students accessing the gen. ed...

First of all, I'd like to comment on what constitutes a "good" D/HH program w/o getting into pedagogical stuff (ASL/English) obscuring the issue. A good D/HH program should have... Highly qualified personnel. (i.e., certified in their subject area and exceptionality.) While not practical...

I'm a lawyer, or so the State of Florida claims... :) As you can infer, I'm not practicing law now. I'm a teacher instead. Anyway, back to your question... Law right now is a very oversaturated field. There's too many lawyers competing for few jobs. There's too many law schools out there, and...

Do I know you? It's nice to meet another lawyer here in these forums. Send me a PM if you'd like.

I'm going. :applause: Staying for the whole week, actually. Invited three of my best friends. :gossip: I can see another Hangover coming on! Jagermeister, anyone? :cheers: Looking forward to meeting more AD'ers!

I prefer to wait on commenting until the FCC has actually opened the issues for public comment. Also, how did you find those new comments under docket 03-123? What search engine and URI did you use? I used FCC's docket search engine, but there seemed to be no way for me to limit queries by...

The only app that I've purchased for my BB Tour is BerryBuzz. Very useful! I haven't tinkered with my BB Tour too much, though. I would consider the OS 5.0 upgrade when it comes out, though.

A small disclaimer; I do not work in the relay industry. I am a VRS consumer, however, and use ZVRS. While I am not sold in the entirety of Purple's latest filings advocating for multi-party VRS calling, I would suggest that the FCC would benefit greatly by having the issue opened for public...

That was quite a find. Never thought to look through 8-K filings.

Purple listed some examples in their FCC filing (Page 12); http://www.purple.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/PurpleApplicationReview.pdf Also in the "Consumer Petition Review" (Pages 8-9) http://www.purple.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ConsumerApplicationReview.pdf

Actually, there are two consumer petitions; http://www.purple.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ConsumerApplicationReview.pdf http://www.purple.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ConsumersRuleClarification.pdf

In context of Purple's petition, a multi-party conference call is done via VRS. An example of a VRS multi-party conference call; A deaf person would call a special number and be connected to a VRS agent. This VRS agent would then interpret the conference call. Another Deaf person calls the...
