Clickers Redefining Classrooms
markmcb writes "It seems that teachers may have a new way to boost classroom participation using a device called a clicker. A clicker is a small handheld device that allows its user to wirelessly respond to various prompts selected by a teacher. So when a teacher wants opinions on topics that people tend to shy away from like sex, religion, and politics, the question can be asked and the students can answer anonymously via the clicker. Everything from a simple poll to a graded quiz can be conducted using the device. In the age of cell phones and wireless computers such a technology is likely to be well-received by students, but one can't help but wonder if such a device will breed less assertive graduates who lack the will to stand up and voice their opinion on sensitive issues."
GNAA Announces Immediate Release of OSX_x86_YHBT
Ich Bindawalross (London) - GNAA (NYSE: GNAA) President timecop released a statement today regarding the immediate Internet release of MacOS X for the x86 architecture, available on many BitTorrent networks. After making the statement, timecop yielded the stage to a second speaker at the press conference, Apple Computer co-Founder and CEO, Steve "Rim" Jobs, now fully recovered from his recent gender reassignment surgery to field questions from attending press members.
"We here at Apple Computerth [sic] have decided on a slightly different path for the upcoming version of the MacOS X," Jobs states before bursting out into high pitched giggles. "We have replaced our overpriced and bloated software with an efficient and easy-to-use interface. I would like to take this opportunity to announce a merger larger than a Zimbabwe nigger cock: GNAA and Apple Computer."
Returning to the podium, timecop began speaking again, while Steve Jobs submitted to orally pleasuring his ten inch nigger cock. "Dedicated faggots have been loyally purchasing the homosexual software and hardware abomination that is Macintosh computers. Apple has been striving to provide software customers with the most flambouyantly homosexual combination available. However, in recent days, this hasn't been enough.
"There has been increasing pressure from the disgustingly obese Lunix nerds and the socially well-adjusted and popular Windows users to convert, as well as pressure from OS X emulators to provide consumers with increasingly gay products. Apple Computer has decided to merge with GNAA in order to broaden the appeal and better serve the interests of all those who buy Macintosh products. Furthermore, we will adopt Apple's "Step 2 ???? PROFIT!" marketing model. This will also stop Apple from going out of business, which they probably would have otherwise."
At this point, timecop paused and deposited a quart of Gaynigger seed into Steve Jobs' mouth.
"GNAApple is committed to our new OS X86. Rather than give the user the difficulty of finding pornography themselves, we provide them with the classic hello.jpg, redundantly archived and brand labeled throughout the 950 MB DVD image, as well as a bundled copy of GPA (Gay Porn Avalanche). Now, greater efficiency in masturbatory pursuits can be provided to all."
"As Slashdot users, many of you might have been exposed to the pirated release, and information pertaining to it. We would like to thank Rob "CmdrCocko" Malda for running the first article, leading to the release of information about our upcoming merger. We would also like to extend our gratitude to thepiratebay.org and XiSO for helping us spread the release over the 'underground scene.' We thank you, the IRC channels who put it on their hacked .edu xdcc bots and fserves who hosted it on your dialup connections.
Steve Jobs, recovering from the large dosage of AIDS from the variety of syphilitic, festering sores of GNAA members, rose to his feet at this point during the press conference. "Our previous versions of OS X were released prematurely, and as a result the operating system was unstable and fragile. Our team of software engineers have also decided to abandon the weak and inefficient UNIX backside in favor of a more efficient and robust alternative: WinNT. The pirated version of our new operating system has had record acclaim from users of the Jewish-based internet news organization known as "Slashdot".
"Those doubting the superiority of our new release need only read user testimonials."

You have to admit, this is a great solution for women. We're always hearing about how it's so unfair because girls get left behind in classes since boys are energetic and raise their hands eagerly to answer questions and girls feel so intimidated that they can't open their damned mouths and participate (funny, because after about 16 years that's ALL they do for the REST of YOUR life!).
And then they'll have to start putting clickers in the board room and every office across the country, so that women can participate in business meetings and discussions and brainstorming sessions without having to feel intimidated by the boys.
Clickers will save the world and equalize the sexes!
Teacher, I'm a simple man with a simple request. When you bend over to pick stuff off the ground or plug in a electrical device, I feel like dry-humping the crease of your manifold mane.
Teacher, I'm a simple man with a simple request. When you are fiddling the tip of your pen in your mouth, after finishing grading the classwork, I imagine that pen is my penis.
Teacher, I'm a simple man with a simple request. I want to roughly fuck you in the ass when we ride an unbroken horse together in a rodeo.
Teacher, I'm a simple man with a simple request. You are a worthless bitch that ignores that I've payed you to fill my mind with all this bullshit; the only thing you have going for you is the fact you are self-lubricating and that there are statutes that compel my attending school. Until you acknowledge the conspiracy, then you will receive no confort from me for trying to monopolize and build further "job security" at the expense of innocent children.
