My guess, it's the parents. The parents want the children to be sick and press/force it upon the children to be sick. Its a common incident in lawsuits.
Oh, that's interesting... most of the adults I tried to tell I had problems just wouldn't believe it. I guess the problem was they couldn't easily profit off me being afraid to go to school.
If you have computers in all classrooms, school-wide wifi makes sense.
Until you realize that they tend to all have drop ceilings with tons of pretty easily accessible space for cable runs, that is.
Few public schools come to mind that aren't poorly funded and in the need to remain relevant and competitive. The usefulness of computers and internet access has varying opinions but it's sort of what people expect in "good education" these days, as flawed as the concept may be.
I can imagine their rapt attention at reading how much danger their kids are in, and they trust someone with MD after their name (as if it's not a diploma mill degree anyway) more than an engineer or physicist.
Don't tell me how to raise my kids if you're not profiting from it!
I never thought so. I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a glass of mineral water and a glass of distilled in a blind taste test. If you're curious, go buy a jug at your local supermarket. They're only $0.79 / gallon (sometimes less) around here.
I don't think I've actually drank distilled water before, I've only bought it to wash off PC boards and put in cooling systems.
Correlation is not ca... oh, fuck it, they'll never listen. It's just going to be more masses of misinformed parents and amateur "scientists" rushing to place meaningless and inhibitive laws. Just let them, we'll clean it up when they're done being heroes.
I believe I understand what an "equal sign" means, but I've never really questioned it.
In math I've come to understand everything as a... series of truths, such as
1+1 is true to 2, therefor 1+1=2
Then when I took pre-algebra for the first time in college (I had some serious problems in grade school and let's just say my educators failed to provide for me) the importance of the "equal sign" became more significant. Instead of trying to find one truth I might have had to find many, but I was never really removing or adding anything that wasn't there before.
There was when I realized that my duty in establishing a connection on two "sides" of an equation had nothing to do with what I really did, it was either already true or not true or one side was not yet determined.
So really the math itself changes nothing in the way I understood cause and effect and what I could do about it, you're just seeking a different expression of what's already there.
I don't know if that makes any sense but it seemed like an awfully important thing to me at the time.
Labeling this flamebait implies that he is insulting people by calling them gay. Thus everyone who has down-modded it sees the concept of being gay as something negative. Clearly this was meant as a joke and to take it as an insult means you are bringing your own beliefs about the negative connotation of being gay into the modding process.
Please mods leave your bigotry out of the modding process. People can be gay and still be normal people.
I've saved myself the hassle entirely by browsing -1 and hiding scores.
If Blizzard created a Boss that ate your subscription time if it killed you, and players knew about this aspect, and fought it anyway, no one would be furious. Everyone would say "you knowingly gambled on it eating your subscription time. Don't want to lose your subscription? Don't go after that Boss."
I fear that WoW players generally lack the capacity to understand it was their own responsibility.
... Actually I'd have to say the same for many EVE players...
This guy did this in "empire space" which is supposed to be safe if you are not at war. However the two guys who got him, scanned his cargo, saw what he had, and suicide attacked him, because the amount of the cargo was worth getting blown up by the games AI (penalty for attacking in empire).
I believe they were actually at war, making Aystra's decision making skills even more suspect.
Agreed. Everything was done within the rules of the game. And further more, from my read of the article, it was not $1,200 from an individual player but a collection of credits totaling $1200.
It could have actually been 1200 dollars, but they probably spent 22 billion isk pooled from the alliance. Still a hefty bit and what it actually means is that CCP was given 1200 dollars because without those PLEX cards someone will end up buying another.
This was inevitable once CCP announced they would allow people to undock with PLEX cards, but no one could have forseen it would be so soon and so hilarious.
It wasn't a "pirate attack", it was a sanctioned war in a trade hub where hundreds of players are on at any time and it's difficult to spot war targets in local.
Also the PLEX cards survived, but to stop scavengers that are all over the trade hubs the wreck was immediately destroyed.
Judging by the stories that have been posted on here over the last few months, you only need to post some thing like “I’m going to bomb X” on a message board under a false name.
Before you know it, the target will be held under anti-terror laws that make being prosecuted for the possession of child porn look like a viable and preferable option.
What if I made it so someone looked like they were going to blow something up while engaging in sex with a minor while practicing satanism while preaching communism while not paying taxes while being homosexual while giving away confidential material?
I have a friend in prison because of the witchhunt that's out. He's by no means a saint but the last thing he would do is molest children... in fact, he was one of the witch hunters.
He, like many people I'm sure, set up a fserve on IRC in CP rooms to send viruses to people. One thing he wrote would email the FBI from the computer of whoever downloaded it and say exactly that the email was generated by a virus that was downloaded from a CP sharing channel.
The problem with these channels is some bots that crawl fserves for things will randomly send images to people to try to get their ratio up. So my friend ended up getting quite a bit of this and deleted it.
Many months later the FBI woke him up with a gun to his face. They took the computer and anything else they saw as relevant. They told him not to go anywhere, but he did. Only problem is the dumb shit went back.
Being that the filesystem was probably FAT32 since he was running 98, undelete would be trivial assuming nothing needed those tables again. Knowing how the law works when it comes to child porn, however, they probably wouldn't need anything other than that IP showing up in that channel on IRC.
I'm sure if he exercised his right to allocute he could have explained the mess and maybe changed things around, but he listened to his lawyer and played the marionette. Now he's in prison and I think he's got like 8 years left and when he gets out he'll be a "sex offender", all because someone thought he looked at some pictures.
It won't change, people are going to continue with this madness, this guilty until proven innocent that occurs with rape or child molestation. I'm afraid to be near children or to have any of my own lest someone dare cry witch on me.
It has to do with boosting hundreds of tons of your ballistic gel into orbit and then watching in horror as the energy released by the first 10km/sec bolt to hit it causes it to explode.
Oh, sounds like a dumb idea then. Maybe lasers would work better or something.

-1, flamebait? WTF?!
Your citations are highly convincing.

It's no joke. BTW - Ubuntu should come out of the closet a bit - they could use some of that gayness - even their redesigned color scheme is fugly.
If you try to please everyone you end up satisfying no one. Apple has found a workaround by just making everyone think the same way.
The PLEX did not survive. They were lost in the explosion. You can refer to the killmail if you disagree.

I don't disagree, seems there's a bit of conflicting reports over the incident. One thing that is resoundingly clear is that someone got fucked.
The PLEX did not survive. See the killmail.
http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=7309710
Hmm, I guess the attackers shouldn't feel bad for wiping out the wreck then.
Presumably most players aren't stupid enough to transport it around. It's a completely voluntary activity.
I knew it'd happen eventually.. but 74 in a frigate like a month after? Shock, awe, lulz.
If Blizzard created a Boss that ate your subscription time if it killed you, and players knew about this aspect, and fought it anyway, no one would be furious.

6 years of someones life has just been gained?
That'd only be if they played 6 years after the incident and didn't commit suicide.
This guy did this in "empire space" which is supposed to be safe if you are not at war. However the two guys who got him, scanned his cargo, saw what he had, and suicide attacked him, because the amount of the cargo was worth getting blown up by the games AI (penalty for attacking in empire).

About 22 billion depending on the sellers.

Quite the red-letter day.
I'd say that MI6 or the CIA would be calling soon. They need people like you.
A true "true patriot" and or "God save the Queen."
I try to do my part. *salutes*
What are you, twelve years old?
My guess is at least 15.
Law Enforcement should be spending its efforts going after the perverts that create kiddie porn, where it would actually do the poor kids some good.
They'd have a lot less to validate their paychecks if they did that.
Why bother with child porn.
Judging by the stories that have been posted on here over the last few months, you only need to post some thing like “I’m going to bomb X” on a message board under a false name.
