I've seen this, they are one of the most beautiful things ever to reach my eye. Was around 1998 in california after a space shuttle launch, it looked like we had Northern Lights all of a sudden, huge swathes of purple and green whisks of clouds all across the night sky, visible right during a typical beautiful california sunset. Man... good times.
This is not a fail of the students, but a fail of the schools.
This is a fail of our society. Schools shouldn't have to teach their students common knowledge. I'm not even in college yet and many of the things I'm reading about in this thread come as completely obvious and natural to me (i do have quite a bit of experience in corporate environments for my age, however), and i find it ridiculous that people need to be TAUGHT this. If you sit in front of tv all day and believe the shit that is stuffed down your throat, you deserve to be let the fuck down when you graduate.
They don't know their rights, and they don't really care about them until the shit hits the proverbial fan in their lives. People are lazy by nature, unless they have to, they won't bother finding out about something. It's like natural curiosity has all but disappeared from the world.
Putting your head in the sand is easier than facing the facts, and it leaves more free time for TV.
The UK is a great model for the rest of the world if you're interested in the transition of a rather normal country into a total police state. Granted, it still has quite a distance to go, and there's other countries much worse off than England, but for a developed western country it is appalling.
What was it I heard recently? Something like 80% of closed circuit security cameras are in London?
It's really a shame, the UK has an amazing history, but today's politics are sending it in a totally skewed and destructive direction.
Hmmm, I WAS going to say that you should get yourself a better pc, but I think I've changed my mind and would recommend common sense, instead.
No Shit intels lab work is going to be better than what the end user ends up seeing, usually because the end user is too dumb to set up a pc correctly, but maybe even a little bit because THEY USE STUFF YOU CANT BUY?
sheesh, people these days.
My question was more of a pun on how slashdot immediately puts everything to do with religion into a negative light, but yes, I agree with you.
AND FUCK YOU MAN, DARWIN WAS NEVER WRONG, NOT EVEN WHEN HE FALCON PANCHED HIS FIRSTBORN FOR ACTING LIKE AN APE!!!!
We don't have to feed them, with the amount of spam they produce it shouldn't be long before it becomes so overwhelming that it materializes into everyones favourite meat-in-a-can!

You're trying too hard. A shotgun would be so much more efficient. And easier.
