This includes being able to buy a $40-$50 printer (probably sold on the shelf right next to the $300 PC), plug it in, and expect it to work. Or at least expect nothing more than inserting the CD.
I thought the imperial unit for mass was the slug. Now damned if I know (even as an engineering grad) how many pounds are in a slug (on the earth's surface, yadda, yadda...) but being to lazy to actually find any reference info on it, I'm quite sure that's correct. (That or else my statics and dynamics prof was full of it, which isn't entirely unfeasible either).
I'm the Director of Technology for a small (~800 student) district. We do this as well. Usually, it's sponsored by the computer club. However, we don't hold them "regularly", but more like "whenever the computer club feels like it and it works into my schedule."
We've never received any hassles about which games we're playing (Q3, UT, DFLW), but then again, considering who shows up, they're probably playing the same ones at home, but with just a much higher ping time.
...but your analogy breaks down with the Internet. If a library was told, I'll give you every book in the Library of Congress, as well and anything else we can find, and give you updates as soon as they are available for $X/month, every library in the country would take them up on the offer (and, yes, they would offer Hustler and Debbie Does Dallas as well).
It's a matter of the best use of limited resources ($).
With the Internet, you have to pay (for your filter) NOT to get everything.
You seem to point this out, but use it to justify that libraries "have been using filtering." No they haven't. They've just been trying to provide the most for their patrons for their money.
Question about this ruling. It repeatedly references libraries, but CIPA also applies to schools. Did this decision also cover schools? I'm in the process of rewriting our school district's AUP to cover CIPA compliance, and the issue is very timely and relevant to me.
I was working late one night and needed to reset a circuit breaker - and the only person who would know where the key was located was most likely in deep REM sleep by that point. Not being the type to want to trifle with him anyway, I took a look, pulled my Leatherman out of my pocket, and proceeded to unscrew all four plain-jane flathead screws "securely" keeping the front panel from being vandalized. I bet he still doesn't know I was in there.
1) You are adding extra 't's.
2) You are mixing the languages of your roots
Sexium (sounds even better than sextium) wouldn't be right - it would have to be 'hexium' (so you can see why they didn't go this route)
Septium
Octium
Nonium
No. Your claim was "most". The plural of "anecdote" is not "data".
I'm using a MS keyboard right now primarily because Logitech doesn't make one that I like (i.e., split keyboard with the inverted-T arrow keys and the other keys (Ins, Del, etc.) in the right order/location.
I take a great deal of comfort in knowing that there are more choices for Prime Minister than two.
I wish we had another "real" party in the USA (the reform party of a few years ago was basically a "vote for me - these guys suck" party).
I feel like I'm stuck in a Douglas Adams novel:
"[The saying] comes from a very ancient democracy, you see... On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted for in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford, "of course."
"But why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in."
the FCC is headed by political appointees appointed by the President
Yeah, that d*mn president. If it weren't for that un-elected president, everything would be soft and pretty, the Sept. 11 attacks wouldn't have happened, and all the geeks on/. would have gotten laid by now.
I'm not saying I approve of everything GWB does, but give it a rest, already.
Why? If they got impeached (and convicted), then they would be removed from the bench. Let's see, who gets to choose appointees to the Supreme Court?
...and don't deceive yourself into thinking that the Senate is so liberal they would reject a conservative judge. They probably wouldn't confirm a radical conservative, but rest assured there would be two more comparatively young conservatives in the supreme court.
(Someone explain that to me? I pay them to get a sticker in hopes of a higher probability of getting out of tickets. I would invest but I don't put stickers on my cars.)
Late to the posting game, as usual. C'est la vie.
I had (yes, that's past-tense) a brother-in-law who is a State Trooper. He said those stickers do nothing to help you avoid getting a ticket. The only way it affects your likelihood is that if you point it out hoping to avoid a ticket, you'll most likely get one.

Considering which key it was, I was just going to say that his keyboard was 'fFscked up'.
- Print stuff out.

Oh, that kind of compass. Sorry.

I didn't think calc was invented until AD.
Dumbass.
What I thought was funny, was that he didn't just "grab" his cane. He used the force to pick it up.
What if I want to call it an "abomination"?

That would work for the first time, but if you want a repeat performance, the question that has to be answered is "can you really deliver overnight?"

Duh.

Ah! Now THAT clears it all up. Thank you.
I had no idea the SBA was involved in such underhanded practices. And sponsored by our own government, no less.
