It's a charter school, so in fact it is in a competitive market and the students/parents did choose that school over the usual public school for their location.
If you put your information on facebook then it's already "exposed" to everyone. You'd have to be even dumber than someone who would fall for such a fake login link to think otherwise.
Yeah much better to not use the available free memory and just keep loading the same things off the slow disk over and over again.
That way you can always 2GB of free RAM!
And it doesn't make Windows "appear faster", it makes it faster. Caching is one of the oldest performance optimizations in computing. Everything uses it.
Yes, which you're right. Your original statement is correct
It was completely irrelevant to the post you replied to, which is why I misunderstood what you were saying. But there's no rule about staying relevant.
Cutting print circulation to that extent results in each printed copy of the paper costing $12,134.1
Compare the cost of a full page ad in the NYT with the cost of a banner ad on a web page. That might be a hint as to why they'd rather not cannibalize their printed subscription base.
* The result of extensive economic calculations, or made up?
Clear cut illegal eavesdropping. Likely civil rights violations. Possibly child pornography if they turned it on at the wrong time.
Really easy to get the jury on your side with the crying 13 year old telling how she always left the laptop open on the desk in her bedroom, where she got changed each day and how the thought that her teachers were watching gives her nightmares.
I can't fathom how anyone could possibly have thought this was a good idea...
And then to try and punish someone for what they did in their own home as well?
It's not the school kids that need civics lessons.
There were two reasons that modchips were OK in Australia.
1. Australian law allows importing of content from overseas and circumvention of "region locking".
2. The courts accepted the argument that the law said you can't work around devices designed "to prevent or inhibit the infringement of copyright" and modchips only allowed playing copies not making copies. Playing a copy isn't copyright infringement, making the copy is so there was no "protection measure" involved and so the law against circumventing them didn't apply.
But in this case:
1. Does not apply, there is no region locking so you don't need this device in order to play imported games.
2. Parliament changed the law a few years ago to make "protection measures" include those which allow "unauthorised use".
There was no plan of action related to that statement so there is no doing it anyway. It's just a statement of fact about the way the world works.
What did the US do after Tiananmen Square (with some estimates of deaths in the thousands)? Suspended selling weapons to China and didn't visit for a while.
What did the US do after 9/11 (with 3000 deaths in the US)? Turn world aviation and international banking upside down, and go to war against two countries.
Not really similar reactions are they? Hence obviously "being attacked is very different from internal conflicts elsewhere that really don't effect us much".
And the US is getting the best end of the deal with China. We get usable stuff, they get soon to be worthless bits of paper. That we destroyed out productive economy in the process didn't have to be part of it and was our own doing.
That relying on China so much mightn't be such a wise move is irrelevant.
That they killed a bunch of their own people is not at all similar to bin Laden killing a bunch of our people. Sure it is to the people who did the dieing, but being attacked is very different from internal conflicts elsewhere that really don't effect us much (as cold and uncaring s that is).
American troops killed American protesters 40 years ago to (and yes a completely different situation in scale, level of authority, consequences, etc) should no one have traded with America after that?
And who says I wasn't saying that Germany and Japan turned around and traded with the US after the US had blown up large numbers of their countrymen?
So because China does a bunch of stuff the US doesn't, nobody is allowed to draw comparisons between the things that both countries do do?
So basically we can't compare anything to anything since they have some difference in the area we aren't comparing?
Hint: the topic isn't murdering people, or running over people with tanks, or executing people, or jailing people. It's eavesdropping on internet traffic. And yes China does more of that than the US does in all likelyhood. But for the typical slashdot poster they are far more likely to have the US government listen in than the Chinese government, since they are more likely to be in the US.
Not it wouldn't be roughly analogous. Tienanmen Square didn't see thousands of Americans die and wasn't an explicit attack on America.
Osama Bin Laden being a major trading partner of America in 2020 would be more like America and Japan or Germany being major trading partners in the 1960s.
I would think the world not warming - over decades not just over 1 or 2.
The problem is there are so many conflicting theories on what global warming will do that no matter what happens one of them will be right.
And of course the alarmists just pick and choose whichever one was right this week.
Personally I like the "global warming will plunge us into an ice age" one. And this winter has been great for my horse! Sell Canada, buy Mexico!
But I'm also in the "who cares, it might be man made it might be natural cycles, it might be the tipping point that gives us the next mass extinction, it might set off a golden age of abundance, there's nothing we can do about it without condemning the world to poverty which would be an *evil* act so lets enjoy the ride" camp.
Slashdot Mirror
is such a big political issue.
Hope you don't have any minor (or major) things on your medical history.
The student isn't an employee of the school.
Do you also think you should be not allowed to use the services of the fire department if you publicly complain about one of the fire fighters?
You shouldn't be allowed to vote because you publicly complain about politicians?
Shouldn't be allowed to drive because you publicly complained about the department of motor vehicles staff?

Do you think they would have suppliers who would want to restrict sales to those with a brick-and-mortar store?
So what was the point?
Yes, which you're right. Your original statement is correct
It was completely irrelevant to the post you replied to, which is why I misunderstood what you were saying. But there's no rule about staying relevant.
So as long as you are at least as free as Saudi Arabia it's all good?
That's certainly setting the bar at an easy to achieve level.
Heck, Iran surpasses that bar already.
Not a fan of Eve or SimCity then?

You can either pay what the supplier asks, or you can freeze to death. You can decide which is the stupid option.
to spy on kids and their families, anyway.
CIV4 had play by email, which is better than a dedicated server (in this one way anyway) since no machine had to stay up all the time.

It's not the school kids that need civics lessons.
A kid requiring visitation rights or child support payments?
Alimony issues?
Not very long ex- and still going through legal wrangles.
They understand it perfectly. They just want you to install their shitty application.

Yes, facts. That's what I was trying for.
By definition a "greenhouse gas" causes global temperature increases. That's what they are given that name.
That doesn't mean they are the main cause or a large cause but if they don't then they aren't greenhouse gases...
