Knowing the material enough to pass the test matters.
I feel like an ABC after school special for saying this: Knowing the material enough to pass the test matters, if all you are interested in is passing the test. The test is an arbitrary measurement created so that the school can give you something tangible (a grade) for the money you pay. The important thing is that you leave the class a "smarter" and better person. Technology can provide tools that make learning more convenient, but none of it can replace the benefits of interacting with live people.
These iPod educated knuckle-heads are going to be in charge after I retire. I better start saving money for my own private island now.
Seriously, taking a class from home is like working from home. Everyone claims that they are exponentially more productive, but the fact is 90% of them spend 90% of their time watching Oprah and making macaroni and cheese for their kids. People think they do more at work at home, but the reality is that everything takes twice as long because of all the distractions.
I'm sure some people can be quite effective working from home. However, in my experience, the people who normally work from home are the people you do not want around to fuck things up. It will be hard to convince me that anyone educated exclusively by remote classroom does not belong in the same category.
General Hospital ends in about 2 minutes, so you can expect the rebuttals to start about then.
You just had to bring up the Y-word. I had hoped to avoid such ugliness. However, the phrase "beating a dead armadillo" has provided a mental image that should keep me entertained for the rest of the afternoon. Thanks.
remember this is the state that the Bush family came from
You should stick to commenting on things you know about. George W was born in Connecticut, and George H W was born in Massachusetts. They are only here now because this is where they made their money.
Besides, around here 'open document' means we cross out 'evolution' and insert 'intelligent design'.
On the surface I seemingly hate those blood-sucking capitalists at M$, but I secretly wish I was just like them. That's why I look like an out-of-focus version of Vista. Hell, I even go as far as to annoy the hell out of you with automatic updates
or a lot of cases with the same charges, the officer's story is exactly the same
The stories are the same because the crimes are specifically defined. If the law says an officer can bring someone in on suspicion of DUI if the suspect is slurring their speech, staggering, and have bloodshot eyes, then that is the testimony the officer is going offer in court. If we extend your logic, all officers that write speeding tickets must be lying because they all claim the suspect was exceeding the speed limit. Granted, speeding is a very simple example, but other crimes are defined with similar, albeit more complex precision.

For various reasons, people like choices. That's why everything, from computers, to TV's, to cars, to even package food, comes in different "editions". If Microsoft has the math wrong, then so does everyone else.
Portland (at least in the US) means Portland, Oregon.
That is probably true - unless you live in Portland, Arkansas or Portland, Connecticut or Portland, Indiana or Portland, Maine or Portland, Michigan or Portland, Missouri or Portland, North Dakota or Portland, New York or Portland, Ohio or Portland, Pennsylvania or Portland, Tennessee or Portland, Texas. Other than that, Portland means Portland, Oregon

Sweet! Now your homework will run really fast.
I think they call it cloud computing.
That probably isn't necessary.
I'm a little worried about this line though

Frost: Are you saying the drummer of Metallica can do anything he want's - even if it is illegal.
Ulrich: I'm saying, if the drummer of Metallica does it, it's not illegal.
If they are too stoned to remember which posts they have deleted, how are they ever going to remember to back up their stuff.
google error? Maybe.
User error? Highly likely.
Conspiracy? Did you know too much marijuana can make you paranoid?

So much for "Don't ask, don't tell."
I can say now, with absolute certainty, that 2009 will be the year of the linux desktop.

Apologies to any Portlands I missed
You're going to be on a ship with ~300 girls. Get your priorities straight!
I personally found offensive that he compared C++ to Islam. C++ is much more peaceful.
You think so?
Try publishing some cartoons of Bjarne Stroustrup, then we'll see how peaceful it is!
But I can't decide if it should be brad_pitt_the_nice_but_not_damn_sexy_non_clone or wet_frilly_knickers_outlook.
So all we need is more Jewish open-source developers, and our problems are over.
I've gotten drunk and used drugs plenty of times, and I have never experienced nausea, headaches or a generally crappy existence.
That should get you at least 50%.
Why not give them some extra CO2 and they may work more efficiently to produce growth and give off more oxygen.
Sounds like a good idea, but I hear it doesn't scale very well.
