Systems Support Career Guide and Counseling

Question: Who should decide if life support systems of terminally ill patients can be disconnected? ? Who should decide if life support systems of terminally ill patients can be disconnected, the patients? the family? a doctor? the courts?

Answer: The patient should always have a living trust which includes a medical power or attorney. Normally they also have a DNR which is Do not Resuscitate. The hospital should always have that on file, incase they are brought there for medical reasons. I would check with the Hospice group since they usually assist with completing these documents and go over all details with the patient\family\caregiver. If not, there will be huge problems, and why not just get it done so the family\loved ones can spend the last minutes with the person in peace.

Question: How do the organ systems interact and support each other? The reproduction system and the cardiovascular system , how do the systems interact and support each other?

Answer: The reproductive system doesn't do anything to support the cardiovascular system, although sexual arousal has the obvious effect of engorgement of the corpora cavernosa (singular: Corpus cavernosum) of the penis and clitoris, and also the corpus spongiosum of the penis, with blood, but this is an effect on the phallic vascular physiology, rather than the cardiovascular system. Regarding how the cardiovascular system interacts with the reproductive system, ...well, there you have it. As for support, there are a variety of blood vessels that supply blood to the various bits and pieces of the reproductive system, just as with any other part of the body. A look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_tree will help you out there.

Question: Which is a better choice? A General Computer Science Degree or Network Systems Administration and Support? I am enrolled in college and I need help with deciding what associate degree will be most beneficial to me. I would like a career in computer science. Specifically, I would like to be a systems/database analyst or a network engineer or possibly a web administrator. However, I am uncertain of the possible downfalls that may effect me if I choose to specialize within computer science. I need some feedback on which degree would be a better choice; a general associate degree in Computer Science or an associate degree in Computer Science-Network Administration and Support?

Answer: I think you should seriously consider going past an associates degree. If the only choice is between the two, I think a general degree in Computer Science would best serve you. This will give you some background in both how networks communicate, but also a baseline of programming. You should learn a few OS's. Many large companies use UNIX. You can try Linux for free and get a feel for the file structure and how databases work. Good luck. Also with computer sciences, it is a good major to pursue online.

Question: Are there laptops which support Macintosh operating systems and are not from Apple? I needed to know if there are companies who make laptops which support Macintosh operating systems other than Apple because I like the Mac but I don't have enough money to buy one from Apple itself.

Answer: google for a company called PyStar. OpenMac is bout 1/4 the cost, but Apple is contesting that company's product. PyStar will have to prove they didn't reverse engineer. I say google, to read all the recent news concerning this hardware.

Question: How do information systems support business organizations to do their activities?

Question: Is Earth and its complex life-support systems more powerful and significant than humanity and all else? And might recognition of this some day replace our ancient concept of an omnipotent anthropocentric Creator God? And might it replace religious ideology with a spiritual sense of awe, wonder and humility to replace sectarian ideological worship and division, increasing as our understanding grows?

Answer: That was a lot to put in one's mouth - yes, yes, and yes, in my opinion. I don't know about significant, but I'd say clearly more powerful. And thoughtful people are faced with the ultimate reasoning destination of life being a property of matter itself, so perhaps the earth is alive. Well, if not alive, it is certainly composed of the precursors to life and the ability to ignite the pilot light - You speak of wonder and awe, but I'm not confident that any of these forces around us, that tower over us, are all that benign. I mean the earth could shift in some way, say start huffing out ammonia gas again, and poof, we're out of here and it's back to some other form of life altogether. Makes me damn nervous how indifferent nature appears to be about the welfare of any one of us or any speciies of us.

Question: Is147 credits in IT Systems Support Engineer a Bachelors degree? My son is currently studying for MCSA, MCSE, MCP (windows XP, Windows Server 2003, SQL 2005, etc.) and CBP Business Communication as well as CBP Customer Services. It is a Diploma and NQF level 5, here in our country and 147 credits, I want to know then if it is a Bachelors Degree in America? Thank you.

Answer: I'd guess no. the MCSE, MCSA, and MCP are not recognized by accredited establishments, and in the business world they are useless without accompanying experience. I can't speak to NQF, as I don't know what that is.
