The very fact that you're driving puts others in danger. There are a thousand things that can distract you - eating, talking on your cell phone, your three kids fighting over the DVD in the back, sun glaring off dust on your windshield, clever bumper stickers, thinking about that big presentation you have to give tomorrow, being drunk. If you start making irresponsibility illegal, then that means no one has to be responsible, they just have to follow the laws. If you fuck up, then it's not your fault, it's the state's, for not making a law against whatever you did wrong. If you cause an accident because you were being irresponsible, then it's your fault, and you should be punished accordingly, but don't the police have better things to do than look for motorists who might have their cell-phone out?
Will this mean Microsoft will help out with getting NTFS to work on Linux? 'Cause like, that'd make it a lot easier for the servers to work together, right? If you could, you know, swap drives between them? Good thing Microsoft is committed to Linux interoperability and we'll finally see this DONE!
It's called Doki Doki Majo Shinpan. You touch Japanese schoolgirls to see if they practice the dark arts. Nintendo said " it isn't pr0n," but after they said that they mouthed "it's totally pr0n." Enjoy.
As much as I'd love to beat me chest about this one ('specially seeing as how I used to do it), I can't say I disagree with this move too much. The computers are school property, and the school lays down the rules as to what they can and can't be used for. Isn't that what the students are really being punished for? Visiting sites or using services the school has banned on school-owned computers? The wall the school puts in between them and AIM or mySpace or Ebaum's or porn or whatever is really just there as a reminder. It doesn't magically become OK to do that stuff just because you figured out how to get around that wall, even if it was really easy.
The net and web are built to be free. Free interaction, free exchange of ideas, in the case of eBay, a free(r) exchange of physical objects. Whenever you give a bunch of people freedom, chances are someone is gonna abuse it. Remember that old saying, "Liberty or death!"? Say it, let it sink in. Afraid of muggers or lunatics? Get a license, a gun, and the training to use it, so you can protect yourself and those around you. There are crazy people out there who are going to arm themselves no matter what anyone does. Don't let them get you without a fight.
do the anti-smoking folks know about this?
Now, not only do cigarettes give you lung cancer, poison everyone around you, finance terrorism, and kill cowboys, but it TAKES AWAY OUR INTERNETS!!!!1
Steve Jobs didn't give birth to the iPod, it sprang from his skull fully grown.
Steve Jobs doesn't code software or fabricate hardware, he sensually caresses raw silicon until it wants to please him.
Steve Jobs' turtleneck is actually his own sleek yet soft and downy coat of fur.
Chuck Norris almost fought Steve Jobs this one time when Chuck's iPod died on him halfway through the kickass guitar solo in "Freebird," but Steve used his powers to not only repair Chuck's iPod, but also did a reality-restore point back to before the crash. Chuck Norris and Steve Jobs have been allies ever since.
Steve Jobs doesn't actually sleep, he astral-projects into other people's dreams. It's how he comes up with new products.
True that. At both the community college and the private university I have attended, they made a small deal out of the feedback sheets we filled out. Whether or not they read them and tried to fix their weak spots I don't know for sure, and didn't really matter, the point is I don't really remember them even having teacher feedback sheets at public high school or earlier. Some of them seriously needed it like Mrs. Tarrant, my AP CS teacher who I doubt would understand the HTML I'm writing this in, and Mr. Kidwell, the orchestra teacher who had a hearing aid in each ear.
I'm wondering, where are the parents on this? Where are the politicians and school boards on this? Lets face it, highlighting awesome teachers probably wasn't the driving factor for this site, it was to warn students of bad teachers. Doesn't that rile up anyone? Students in public schools are being taught so incompetently, and the administration is so deaf to them, that they feel the only recourse is to post about it anonymously? Shouldn't that outrage people? Wouldn't a good school district do something like host their own version of this, and proudly post the results? Won't somebody PLEASE think of the CHILDREN?

Thank God for Lisp.
I suppose I really mean whoever dreamed up Lisp, not so much God... wait...

Remember, lots of decimal places in your rating system means it's better.
It's also irrational.
