It's called putting it into perspective. There are a number of people here who don't bother to read the whole thread and get all the information, they just make snap judgements and assume. If you get all hot and bothered by the idea of a 22 year old going out with a 16 year old, really...

Well, cool, there's a fellow "City of Fountains" member here. UMKC? JCCC? MWCC? I was in an opposite relationship -- hearing female, deaf male -- and I disagree with the social aspect. While both of us were in college, it was extremely easy to socialize with each other's friends -- both...

Currently, most "videophones" offer free service with your high speed internet bill, so no one is interested in paying $25/month for calls that they will never use.

I don't think you have any right to be angry. This guy's from Canada where in many places it's legal to consent at the age of 16. That'd be like you being angry at your daughter for consenting at 18. If that's the case, then you really do have bigger problems.

The iPhone will come to Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile's parent company -- IN GERMANY. It's likely to be SIM locked, meaning you have to buy service with DT to get the phone. US and Germany SIMs are not interchangeable, and you'd have to do international roaming to use it in the US. Talk about...

I'd like to see more studies on this. ONE study of 4 groups of guinea pigs over 5 days of noise exposure? That's a LIGHT study. Looks like they plan to start clinical trials soon. It's not a cure, it's a potential treatment. Let's do those tests to find out if this really is a viable...

What's the state and city (or nearest large city, if you're uncomfortable stating which city it is in for privacy/anonimity reasons) That way, we can point you to some local resources who will be able to advocate for you for classroom interpreting. Have you documented your requests for...

Last time I checked, yeah, he does. At least he states that he does VP installs.

Yes. In fact, I was browsing the store recently and came across this, the new ads in the style of the current "Sprint Speed" ads: SprintRelayStore.com I've got my own Mogul for work, so I don't need one on the deaf plan. Thanks, work!

There's a whole bunch of issues that this raises: 1) Lengthly "terms of service" (TOS) agreements are nearly impossible to read and understand in whole. I'm not a lawyer, but in the past, it has been upheld that fine print being used against the layman is not enforceable, especially since...

Yeah, that's definitely a speciality of CSUN, I dated someone who did Deaf Ed there, my mom graduated with her MA degree in Special Ed, and several of my friends from school are teachers all over the nation -- Colorado School for the Deaf, New Mexico School for the Deaf, California School for...

I'm a CSUN alumnus. I don't hear anything about it going downhill. I was recently on campus at the beginning of the semester, everything was looking good, the fairly new director Roz Rosen is making strides in the weaknesses such as good interpreters being poached by VRS agencies for higher...

Oh, gosh, what have I played?! Zelda I - NES, beat it (both quests) Zelda II: Link's Adventure - NES, beat it (for real, HARD, on an emulator, easy) Zelda III: A Link to the Past - SNES, beat it (easy peasy) Link's Awakening - Gameboy, beat it Oracle of Seasons/Oracle of Ages - Gameboy...

While I don't agree selling a house is the best idea, if that's the ONLY WAY they could have afforded the implant, then that's what they need to do to get it. It's not for you to judge them on whether or not it's NECESSARY to get the implant -- they thought it was important enough. They'll...

It's much easier to go from speaking/writing to signing than vice versa. So this is certainly possible as long as the dictionary used is context sensitive, i.e., don't say "roll" and then have the program sign the food "rolls" when you meant the motion "rolling" Heck, even the three words I...

That's an overly broad generalization. I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't become integrated with American culture quickly. "Most" makes it sound like almost every second-gen immigant desires it - but I would argue that it's far more granular than that -- there are many aspects of...

Fake. What does the oil do to your ears? It just magically cures them? Come on, do the scientific testing for us!

No on the CI -- it takes weeks to get the CI surgery, then weeks to get the device activated after healing, then impossible to hide it. So, no. I doubt there was any surgery involved - you can lose your hearing temporarily.

I'm sure a lot of people are joking, but I'm sure a number of you jokesters are also using the jokes to hide your discomfort and your xenophobia. People who use Arabic are NOT EVIL. Cut it out. Go learn to read the stuff, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, we can all get along, instead of glancing at...

You can do that if you know how. Do you think Apple will have something built in where they can just launch an IM program without having to go to a website to launch?
