Algebra and Software Programming - what are the chances a person can make a living as a programmer if that person is not good at algebra?

Zero.
Might be able to fake it if they have a good enough development environment.
It's possible, the mental skills overlap is not that strong.

They would probably end up being the person who hires other people to program.

Seizure-Alert Dogs Save Humans With Early Warnings

Over the last decade a new kind of service animal has emerged. Seizure alert dogs warn people with epilepsy of an oncoming attack minutes—sometimes hours—before it occurs. This allows the person time to take seizure blocking medication, get to a safe place, or call for assistance.  
 
How dogs detect an oncoming seizure in a human is a mystery. Some trainers and researchers think they detect subtle changes in human behavior or scent before an episode occurs. There are no scientific studies, however, to prove these theories. Trainers also believe the behavior is not breed, age or gender specific in dogs.  
 
I don't care what kinda vote this gets, I just WANT ONE. The love of my life is a serious sufferer, and a super-sensitive pooch would be a great first addition to the family!

I wish my own dog could;-  
 
-Smell his own shit  
 
-Tell me from from the neighbour who DESPISES him  
 
-Hear anything  
 
-Realise that he smells like a fermented corpse (maybe then he would fuck off to the knackers' yard)  
 
Most of all, I wish I had this extra sensory ability that dogs seem to have to tell when some badassss shit's about to go down. Maybe then I could have an inkling of when My Girlfriend's gonna bust-a-move. And it's everyday, Ladies, Gents and Spectators. Does anybody in LF Land suffer from the same affliction / know anyone with the disability?

I suffer from it. Does the girl friend not get auras? Or has she just not learned to tell them yet?

Sadly, I'm about a week late with this answer.  
 
Beagle, I'm sorry that you suffer from this SHIT affliction, but no, my GF does not get auras, funny smells or any other warning. She does however get really cheeky when a seizure is due. Sadly she them VERY regularly, -which is an improvement on 12 daily :-(  
 
When you say "Or has she just not learned to tell them yet?" what did you mean? are there subtle/common signs we can look for? I have the patience greater than or equal to a saint, but any tips, anything, would be welcome.

Auras in teh sense of seizures can be smaells or any number of other things, not just the "glow" that people associate with "aura"  
 
I can wake up and know that I'm going to have one that day. It feels like I'm walking on Jello among other things as it gets closer.  
 
She needs to keep a diary and track how she feels every day and see if there's something noticable, even if slight, that seems to happen before all of them. Sometimes just writing it down for a while will make you notice it  
 
Has she tried diet as a control? It's more effective in kids but it's possible that she could get some benefit.  
 
There are support groups as well, something she should probably do just to talk to some others about what it is that they notice before they have one, it might help her to see something that she hadn't thought of is a sign that it's coming

1) She used to get a smell of burning rubber in the early years. Not now. It's mainly that she just gets cheeky before a seizure nowadays. Big deal, eh?  
 
2) It's almost every day. You may only get them occasionally (?) I don't know. They are affected by stress, that much we do know. That and the cocktail of "anti seizure medications", some of which actually contribute to the frequency of attacks. Drugs are bad.  
 
3) This is a great tip. We'll try it, anything's a step forward...  
 
4) We have been told that the Kinetic Diet works only on kids or those recently afflicted. It's a real pain in the ass as well. We've been told by the top neurologist in NI that it probably would have minimal effect anyway. Saying that, the guy's a pair of fucking clown shoes.  
 
5) Support group is on the way ;)  
 
Thanks for the reply. I feel like I'm on my own here.
