Warning, it's butt ugly - seriously, instead of expelling him, they should send him to design classes.
Talk about over reaction though. Why not just bug the police to bust his ass for underage drinking? If that's what the district really wants. Or, why not just take this to its logical conclusion and expell almost every teenager for, well, being a teenager.
No, over here, they don't bother with trials - just send you to Gitmo or an illegal CIA jail and claim you're an "enemy combatant". Some people would welcome being re-tried. In fact, they'd probably cry with happiness if they were actually tried once;)
.. stick your fingers in your ears, go "La la la la", and don't read up on the Bilderberg Group. The guy who runs the site is a little too "Alex Jones" for my tastes, but dig deep and you'll find some interesting tidbits.
It makes sense though, if you think about it - having a conference where you can say exactly what you think, without worrying about how it will affect you politically.
... who doesn't care one bit about HD DVD/Blu Ray right now? I get the feeling they're launching this new format to a population that largely doesn't give a toss. Very few people outside the tech/geek groups know about this.
Look at HDTV. Very few rushed out to buy it. Most people just upgraded as their old TV died. Hell, there's still a majority of content not in hi-def.
Oh well, at least I get to analyze another major industry change as it unfolds. Always interesting:)
I have a feeling that Meucci's mental problems and personal life problems delayed the original patent, but that there is little doubt now that he actually invented the telephone.
It's almost certain that Bell stole the patent for the telephone with a little help from Edward B Grant at Western Union (who kept putting off Meucci's attempts to give a demonstration) and certain individuals at the Patent Office who coincidentally 'lost' Meucci's paperwork. Far from being innovitive, Bell was nothing more than a slimy shit - at least as far as being involved in the actual invention of the telephone is concerned.
The United States started fraud proceedings against Bell, which were only dropped with the death of Meucci in 1896.
And to think it took until 2001 for the US senate to recognize the fact that Meucci did actually invent it. This great milestone would not have been achieved without the deep investigative work of Basilio Catania.

...there was a simple fix for that.
You've obviously never heard of Morgellons then.
Maybe they need an "English 1.0 (transitional)" validator?
Hold down Shift while you mouseover a link.
Oh wait, you want a way to do this with one hand. Err, can't help you there, I'm afraid.

Oh, crap, I meant Nintendo. Sorry, the breasts got me distracted - my brain kinda went off on a tangent...
After all, how can they lose when the logo is basically two men staring at a pair of breasts.
Or am I the only one to see this?

INAUTHENTIC
So we have an inauthentic commenter commenting about an inauthentic article. I think my head is about to explode.

Well, I for one think their summeries are better than their winteries :)

Girls can like porn too. Sexist!
...when they become teenagers.
Joe Ordinary: "I found my dad's secret porn stash - four copies of Hustler!".
Lightspeed Jr: "*cough*, well..."
I have a feeling they'll be very popular at High School :)
Oh please. Like the US believes in free trade. EU steel trade tariffs? Farmers?
The day a country doesn't use it's regulatory network to preserve its own trade is the day it gets pwned by every other damn country out there.
Our local newspaper ran a pun competition, with $1,000 going to the best pun.
:(
I thought up some good ones and entered ten times. I was convinced that one of them would win. But, no pun in ten did
Well put!

...they don't arrest people for being drunk in bars ;-)
$300? I just bought one for $160 on eBay. I think it must be a while since you last looked at prices ;-)
Who the fuck modded this flaimbait "insightful".
It's great to start the day with a big belly laugh!
:) Black and white politics - oh how I miss being 12.

At OSCON, the Postgres people had postcards on their table of whatever their mascot is (I forget) roasting a dolphin on a spit over a fire.
Funny yes, but not something that inspires one to take them seriously.
Ironically, they have a better product on many levels, but that kind of zealotry just plain puts me off.

That has got to be the biggest pile of crap I have read here in a while (and you have some stiff competition).
