School's Out Forever at SV High Tech High

theodp writes "Touted as a model of successful education by the likes of Bill Gates, Silicon Valley's High Tech High just held its first — and last — commencement ceremony, graduating only 21 students in its brief history. Despite the financial support of the world's richest man, the charter school cited money woes as it voted to shut its doors. Adding insult to the poor HTH kids' injury, the local public H.S. district plunked down $8.6M to snatch up their abandoned school and will turn it over to a brand new crop of kids in the fall."

I just hope that Cowboy Neal is not found in the gutter with a bottle of wine in a year. Why do you want Cowboy Neal to be thirsty? What kind of a monster are you?

Once you're in the gutter the wine doesn't really hurt you since, let's face it, it can't much worse once it's gone that far.

If they could only know the future - but we can!

I know that the Slashdot crowd seems to disbelieve in divination, but I personally know many geeks who are deeply involved with the ancient art of Tarot. In the hands of an educated person, the Tarot deck is also a science. Anyone can read the future with the help of a Tarot Master and uncover your destiny just like this short video shows.

Yes. Since Susy Hotpants will take notice of the Beamer in the parking lot instead of the coat hanger holding up the muffler on our Beetle.
