I say it should be. High school has been a right for generations, ever since a high school education was mandatory for work. Now that college is mandatory (all the factory jobs are overseas thanks to our corporate slaveowners) it SHOULD be a right.
We have kids graduating High School that can barely read, write, add, and talk, and you think the problem is that not enough of them go to collage?
Living one town over from a "Collage Town" I can say that 90% of the kids going there simply do it because they would have to grow up otherwise. And then they think because the drank their way to a piece of paper they can demand a $60K salary. Never mind that they have no usable skill whatsoever.
The education system here is nothing but an intellectual circle jerk. The only people who demand a collage degree from potental employees over actual ability are those that went to collage themselves and use that demand to justify their own time spent there. In the mean time, smart people who took education seriously are getting real work done.
From that link: A Transcend 2GB Industrial Compact Flash with UDMA Fixed Disk Mode feature was used to do a fresh install
Yeah, that would work. But the cf cards that are labeled "Industrial" are much more expensive then a standard CF card, and that kind of invalidates the point. The instructions further down talk about installing to a regular hard drive and then transferring the image to the CF card, which is exactly what I had to do.
This is an issue I have recent and intimate knowledge of. XP will *NOT* install on a standard CF card. Even with a CF/IDE converter, Windows sees the CF card as a "Removable Device" and will not install to it. Windows also will only ever see one partition on a removable device. It's also broken when trying to format an existing partition during install, and it corrupts itself when trying to expand it's C: partition when installing from a sysprep'ed disk image. The only way I was able to get it installed was to create a sysprep image the exact size that the finished install will be and write it directly to the flash drive. It's kind of funny to double click on "My Computer" and see the C: drive show up as a removable device with a little removable type icon. This guys blog details the issues a bit more:
The ninth team requested to remain confidential..... Their confidentiality period ends 60 days before the start of the competition at which time the X Prize Foundation will announce the team's name.
But the local governments *do* have the option of simply not enforcing them. When I drove though Ohio a couple weeks ago, and saw a officer on the side of the road every 15 miles or so, it made it very clear to me that the state government was being propped up by traffic fines.
This situation, by the way, makes me sick. Police officers should not be saddled with the burden of collecting money for the state. They should be out doing real police work, the whole 'serve and protect' thing. I seriously doubt that any of them looked forward to sitting on the side of the road with a radar/laser gun when they applied for the job (Unless they were assholes). People in government have no problem passing hundreds of laws. It's like they feel that is their legacy. Something that lasts longer then their term in office. However, creating stupid laws, then having police officers, who people are supposed to look up to and respect, enforce the stupid laws, does nothing but strip the dignity of the position away from them and lowers them to something of an unjust tax collector. When people see police, they don't think "I'm glad he's here, I feel safer!", they think "OMG, how fast am I going? Is he going to give me a ticket?" It's so bad it doesn't matter if you *are* going the speed limit, you still think that. That's just *wrong*. It goes beyond law. I pity the officers that get stuck in that position. It doesn't help that some of them are assholes that love it. That makes it all the worse for all of them.
The **AA should get together with the trainer of these dogs and Ted Stevens. Imagine what they could do with trained dogs sniffing the tubes! Piracy would drop significantly!
No. You can't fight corporate greed with higher taxes. They just pass the costs right to their 'customers', and pocket even more. The only way to fight corporate greed is education of the people. Of course, that requires that the people want to learn.... which is exactly why we're all screwed.

I was replying to: "I believe that even RPM on linux runs the install scripts with admin access..." My reply was to point out that when you run RPM, you know exactly how you are running it. So, it's almost the same as what vista does. Except that you gain privileges before you try to run it, rather then being asked afterwards. I suppose I made that point a bit too vague.
True, although that's because you have to be root to install the package with rpm to begin with. Which means you *know* that it's executing with root privileges.
Several reasons. One that sticks up in my mind is that the in the US the diesel fuel is too high in sulfer to be run in the nice diesel autos that euroupe is full of. It really makes no sense to me. Diesel is not refined as much as gasoline, and it's exactly the same stuff as home heating oil, yet it's more expensive most places. I remember years ago my father had a diesel GMC suburban (full sized SUV with 3 rows of seats). It did not even have a turbo charger and he got high/mid twenty MPG figures. The problem with the newer domestic diesel trucks is that while technology makes the engines more and more effiecent, instead of making the engine get better MPG, they just make them BIGGER to produce more power at the same MPG. Btw, Chrysler has a diesel version of the Jeep Liberty now. I've only seen a couple on the road.
Wow... thanks to your link I just found out that shes a couple weeks older then I am. Googling tells me she also has both an art and (very limited) music career. More useless trivia to take up space in my brain.
My nephew bought a Wii. I got to play with it for a night soon after. This past weekend he brought it up to my parents house, since I thought they would enjoy playing the bowling game, since they used to bowl a lot when they were younger. I was right, they stayed up until after 11pm playing it. My parents are in their mid-sixties, and they are going to buy one as soon as they become more readily available. Nintendo took this thing in an entirely new direction, and it is going to work for them.
hmmm... whats missing is the fact that the Genesis account begins with the earth already existing, and with water everywhere on it. It does not begin with the creation of the universe. There is nothing in the bible to contradict what astronomers guess the age of the universe to be.
From TFA: Neither Antig nor AVC stated what the fuel-cell module would cost, nor offered any plan for consumers to refill them, however. Both companies are based in Taiwan, and company representatives were unavailable for comment.
What? I can't refill it? Whats the point then? Nothing to see here... Please move along...
Sorry, but most people just don't know the difference. In other parts of the world they can't tell the difference between an American and a Canadian.:) If I didn't see a documentary about Iran on The History Channel I wouldn't have made the distinction either. It's the first time I realized that Iran = Persia and has remained unchanged for so long. Who knows, maybe I'm *still* wrong. If so, corrections are welcome.
Wow... I'm stunned by such arrogance. Are you blind to the fact that your are just replacing one god with another? You took a story about scientist finding evidence that humans may have originated in Asia and turned it into an anti-God tirade in an attempt to make yourself feel good about your own opinion. Wow...

Not even... they were pushing XP...

Tell that to Microsoft
Um... er... but... wtf... *Head Explodes*
Well, lets hope the Toshiba one costs a hell of a lot less then $749.95!!
Would that give us freedows?
