what i wonder is if it's a conflict of interests for the RIAA to represent the record companies. they are supposed to be a union of the artists to represent the artists in negotiations with the record companies, right? i wonder if they could be disallowed from representing the companies at all on this basis.
i really don't want to see microsoft do things well on a technological level. not when their business practices are so atrocious. so far because of microsoft we've experienced slowed technological advancement and a poor quality of available technology, i.e. while they have helped hinder advancement, they have also contributed poor implementations of the current technological level.
if microsoft starts making good products across the board now, i fear it can only help set their monopoly more firmly so it can continue to be used as a weapon against advancement.
overall they have hurt the business community and given us bad products. i don't think it's acceptable that they only hurt the business community from now on.
boy am i glad i treated the original story as 'hypothetical' in my previous post.
the kid was an ass. sounds like something i would have done, keeping word open and available to be sure.
that has no bearing. a teacher should be familiar with all tools used in the teaching of a course. i believe this to include a range of options for all or most tools to ensure that the most suited tool is being used. any teacher using a web browser or requiring one for assignments has an obligation to know about at least firefox and opera. it is perfectly acceptable to disallow the use of these if IE is truly required.
but for a teacher in such a scenario to not even know that firefox is an alternative web browser is simply unacceptable.
treating this as a hypothetical example, as the story seems to be a hoax, the teacher should know about alternative browsers even if for no other reason to make sure his orders to the student are correct and make sense. telling someone to " close [your browser that is perfectly acceptable on a functional level that you are already using to complete the assignment] and open the web browser and complete the assignment" is just simply nonsense.
now, if the student is purposely snarky, then yes disciplinary action is called for, but detention should not be handed out simply to save a teach from an embarrassment he caused himself.
if this is too much to ask of teachers then browser interfaces should be eliminated entirely from normal courses and relegated to classes about the topic.
if it's a non internet/computer/technology class the students would learn more from working through the problems with a pencil anyways. you retain more when writing than when typing and clicking.
teachers need to hold themselves up to a higher standard as well as the students.
the 5th amendment is protection from self incrimination and applies (i believe) whether one is under oath or being investigated, or simply deciding whether or not to turn themselves in or even notify authorities that a crime was committed in the first place. the 5th amendment is why you have the right to remain silent while being arrested.

i've always wondered why KATE never gets mentioned in these debates. i quite like KATE.
the old AT&T had a different network than the new AT&T. when cingular took over they slowly removed the old equipmetn and anyone with the Nokia brick slowly lost bars of service as this happened. the old and new AT&T wirless providers are not compatible. they were assholes about the change though.
no, i have a 3'd party, unlocked motorolla on AT&T now. theres not really much they can do to prevent it, i think they are legally obligated to allow it. but i could be wrong. either way it's been allowed for a while. the trouble is making up your mind to pay $200 for a 3'd party phone or getting your phone unlocked from the old provider.
the point was that the domain changes. the domain is still google.com no matter what you do within gmail. by114w.bay114.yadda.yadda...this is the sort of thing we tell our grandparents are signs of phishing and fraud.

i would imagine that the Vin Diesel random fact meme proves that it is not.

i dunno...i like basketball but jewish girls can be really hot. (i'm wondering if this should be anonymous, probably)
they've spent a long time developing their bad reputation, why let them down?
perhaps they've only embraced the standard.

no, but someone made a post to trick everyone into making honeypot jokes where they could easily be modded below the viewing threshold and suppressed.

just don't imagine it on the second floor
you didn't have to press the clutch in while you turned the key?
doesn't that officially make it a success?
they teamed up with SBC when it was around. not sure if Yahoo is still involved now that it's AT&T

i would but the button to submit renders badly in IE
if they'd thought of it and built it, then more power to them. we thought of it and built it, so more power to us.

microsofts reputation is enough to legitimately assume bribery. they worked very hard to get that reputation, lets not deny them now.
they had to use their pin numbers on the door to open it.
that sounds illogical
