You can learn as much from cheerleading as you can from Algebra.
It seems funny that a school administration which would send a student home for wearing a mini skirt supports an activity that requires girls to wear similar clothing during school events.
Yes, but maybe they're not into sports. Maybe the school should actually make an effort to cater to what they like instead of telling them what group activities the school feels they should do.
Or maybe they're not into math, or science. Why should schools cater to students who enjoy those activities?
We a have a generation of educated, talented children that are being told if they can't dunk or throw and 80 yard pass they aren't worth shit in high school.
I know a lot of people who were never able to do either of these things, yet they always managed to get A's in Phys Ed.
The people that will one day run everything are the nerds and geeks of high schools today, and the star high school athletes will be the guy installing my pool or re-shingling my roof in 10 years.
And the people that play computer games all day are the ones we'll be taking care of in the hospitals when they have their fourth heart attacks.
When I was in high school, I was using a 15 year old math book and then went to assemblies where all the cheerleaders had new uniforms.
High School math hasn't changed in 15 years. Cheerleader outfit styles have.
The chemistry equipment was so old that the reminents of 1000 past experiments were stuck to beakers, leading to some rather bad, unforseen chemical reactions. But what do you know? They just installed new tennis courts and an olympic swimming pool..good for them.
Ultimately maybe your school had a poor balance. That's no reason to claim that all schools do, or that we should throw out sports completely.
He's right. Not Today's movie theaters, but within 5 years you'll expect a rise in movie-going prices because the studios filming in digital will cause ticket prices to go up.
Prices most certainly will not go up because of this. There are many different production houses, and many different theatre companies. Why would someone go to a theatre and pay more money to see it digitally projected? I saw Episode II digitally projected and it was worse, not better.
If production and distribution costs go down, the cost of the rights will go down. If that savings doesn't exceed the extra cost of projecting the movie, it's not going to happen.
Sure, but why bother? Have you ever seen a copy of a movie made with a camcorder? I really don't think very many people are using them as replacements for DVD, video rental, or the theatre.
The apparent hypocrisy of slashdot astounds me. TV is bad, reading is good, but 9 posters out of ten point out that it was a Cardassian and don't even recognize the reference to 1984.
I mean c'mon, even I have read 1984, and I fully admit that I watch TV a hell of a lot more than I read.
I would be very happy if all the SPAM I got every day said: "Hi. We're a crappy company. We engage in deceptive business practices. We apologize if we tricked you into buying our stuff, and we'd like to remind you that you don't ever have to buy stuff from us, regardless of the apparent importance of the bill or invoice that you send you."

So I guess you're statistically equivalent to an idiot.
You truly are an idiot, you know that?
I got a 1360 (before recentering) on my SAT's, how about you?
Textbooks are essential to learning.
Untrue.
Cheerleading outfits are not.

I don't find that at all funny.

Please, take Economics 101 and then try again.
the question is can they pull that off??
Sure, but why bother? Have you ever seen a copy of a movie made with a camcorder? I really don't think very many people are using them as replacements for DVD, video rental, or the theatre.
I get the impression that MacSlash is more of a hobby for the guys involved
Sounds like MacSlash.org is a better domain name for them than MacSlash.com anyway, then.
I want to be paid millions of dollars a year for having sex with many beautiful women. Is there any way I could do this?
Sorry, U.S. President only pays $200,000, and promiscuous sex was made illegal in 1998.
